Joints is my specialty haha been rolling em since I started smoking.. I never liked smoking out of pipes by myself.. only when i had to.. and My mother taught me how to do the perfect joint and still doing it that way!
everyone always tells me how nice I roll specially since i can roll em fast and a mouth piece with a weed blocker so nothing gets in your mouth.
I love the Smoking blacks
or the silvers
Im gonna have to roll some imortal og now shiiittt ;) wish I could send you all one rolled by myself and my herbs.

The Dr. is sending out some love tonight!:woohoo:

I used to roll one handed while driving, but drove two handed while smoking. Not a feat for you youngsters to emulate; youth and a willful lust for exitement entertained dangerous attitudes with hormonal imbalance at a time when I should have been developing social skills.
I didn't do it often, usually showing off for trim, while driving my pos 1957 ford. no, I ain't lying. Worked sometimes.:snap out of it:

I use to charge the other people in High School to roll there blunts. Back then they sold them for 2$ OR 3 FOR 5$. I got 1 for every 10 I rolled. Everyone knows how to roll these days but back then nobody could do it well.

Haha, keeping a nice stash box fulled of pre-rolled joints for guests. You sir are the consummate host as far as I'm concerned :)

here is a case I got from Malta back in 78. There is probably close to 10 diferant strains in here. 25 Blunts are in here. I hate smoking them I keep them for company. I use my Bubbler or Vap.

Reminds me of my friend that could roll them one handed in his pocket hahaha. Some people just have that shit down.

@hammerhead: those are blunts of biblical proportions. K+

I learned by just doing it... You gotta keep working at it till you get good at it.

When I started hand rolling my own cigs is when I got real good at it! Then I took about a 2 year volcano break and my skills have deteriorated slightly. The easiest to roll I think are the see through cellulose ones cause you get good grip.

These damn hempire 1 1/4 papes are too slick...

I rolled my first number in 1972...been twistin em up ever since.

I am pretty certain I am the king of joint rolling, but I never got a confirmation letter....

In any event, there is none better at the art than myself (toot toot)

Single wide clubs are the best wraps, IMO....but I can roll with an OCB (we called them Old Country Boys) just as nice as with a high dollar paper.

Hand me a 1-1/4 or something large like that, and I start tearing it down to single size.

My tip for rolling the perfect joint is:
Smoke roll ups (Golden Virginia in my case) for 30 years, then every joint you make will be a miniature masterpiece. I like every other Brit would recommend blue Rizla, unless they are under 30 and are still stuck on fancy papers that cost a fortune and you have to buy from head shops or ebay.
 
I roll perfect joints. They look like they came from a machine. I started rolling at like 15 because nobody else could so they always handed me the weed to roll. I hate smoking joints but roll them for others and they always say "Damn Dude" that is a perfect joint!

I know!

I can't roll worth shit. Unless I am rolling a cannon, those come out like a beaut.

My lady however, is a master. She learned from her mother, who only rolls joints, the same way every time, with perfect uniformity. My old lady however has mastered the various rolled forms, most of which are clearly for show and usually wasteful. We usually try new shapes out of boredom.

She can do blossoms, cross joints, pitch forks (like a cross joint, but with 2 half joints forward on the diagonal instead of horizontally, Double Barrels(Two side by side joints, like a shotgun, using a small piece of paper to hold the tips together) which sometimes just becomes a V.

She also has rolled what she calls the time bomb. Its like purposefully rolling a joint pregnant to the extreme. She'll take the long blue rizzla, and roll it so it looks like this;

==[]==

It looks like someone just did a poor job of rolling, but as we smoke, and it gets passed around, eventually someone hits that big chunk of weed, and gets a nice power hit. Hence the time bomb.
 
Actually it depends on the strain. e.g. A white widow joint always burns perfectly but I think the worst burning strain is Hawaiian Snow even though it's a great buzz.

I have to toot my rolling abilities too.

a few years behind bars smokin' rollies teaches a man a few things.
like how re-re-re rolled cigs taste like shit, except when times are tough.

I was the designated roller in the block, I could roll faster than the guys with the machines could, and to the right size.
Im not cool enough to do it one handed though, never tried seriously though.

My best single paper J was a 4.7g kingsize oiler, It stoned a dozen people and kept on truckin.

I used to get the 'you rolled this?' Yea, I'd say. Tried to act humble but was a little proud really. I recently rolled some up for some young 30 year old whippersnappers and got the same old thing.

Practice and a desire to make them better = fine joints. Even finger pressure along the length of joint as I am rolling and make them quite tight. Do not just roll the paper over the weed, form the weed thru the paper with your fingers.

Or use a roller, but that is no fun.

I was the guy that rolled all the joints. Rarely did i have to load them with my own weed. One handed doobs no problem. Nothing a lot of spit wont seal up... lol
 
I was that guy for my group too. Calls at 10pm "you wanna smoke a blunt/joint?" (Me)"well fuck yeah" " okay but you gotta skin it for us" lol.

That was before I became a 25yo kodger who only smokes alone and with my gf, lol. Getting busted suspiciously will make you question how important smoking with friends really is...

I posted this once on here but I think understamding the variables(bud firmness, oil content, moistness, chunkyness, ect) is the key to understamding how to roll anything. I can roll natural leaf hash oil blunt with cohibas, but my favorite natural leaf cigars to roll with are the JP The Edge black cigars..... best blunts I've ever rolled hands down. If you don't like blunts I woul put you up to a two puff challence, take two puffs and tell me that wasn't the shit. If you can re-roll nattie leaf gars the pick up some of those JP's. Totally awesome smokage, you won't believe the smoothness.

Zig-Zag Kutcorners 1's. Anymore is to much paper IMHO. What you do is with the tips of your fingers level the weed and tuck the edge in the far side don't fold it over. That doesn't work. And then roll not twist it over. Invite me over and I'll show you.

1.0 or 1.25's and I always use a crutch (the inside top flap from my cigarette pack, most often)...but I'm not even quite as old as you and I've been told more times than I can count that I roll "the perfect joint" :laughing: it's not the age, it's the experience that counts...just grab a couple ounces and a few packs of papers and go to town my friend :tiphat:

I must say that the zigzag machine rolls it too perfect to fuck with by hand anymore, but when I am out and about I just use a dollar bill in place of the machine. Always ends up looking pregnant in the middle with out the bill or machine.
