Rolling papers, whats the best?

[cybersmib]

I'm old school. I use "Lords" 100% hemp ultra thin no gum (that sometimes gets tricky, but when your old school that just part of smoking a j.) Anyway only place I can find them is on the web if your curious. Nothing against the cones and all that but whats working for me aint broken

[Rwise]

Thanx to all! Old school, I may be guilty of that, and I dont roll pin joints. One of my all time favs was the 1 paper that came in the Big Bamboo LP, now that made a party joint! I'll keep an eye out for the cancer shops, their are some around, and several vape shops in the area. And know I now more what i may be looking for.

[Rwise]

I remember that dank skunk, walk in and folks look at you cause they know what you have! And some put down the joint they are smoking so they can get what you have. Luv that shit!
I have used a lot of those Chech and Chong papers, back then I had so much weed I told folks you bring the paper I'll roll a joint!

Speaking of skunk, in 83 I got on a flight from SF to Miami with a 1/4 lb. of skunk bud and 3 live indica plants.  I took a hanging suit holder, the plants were in 16 oz styro cups with paper over the dirt and taped down, leaving the stalk and leaves above.  I put an empty cup over it and taped that around the seam to secure.  Looked kinda ike a lava lamp. My Levi jacket was hanging inside with 4 ziplock bags of the buds taped to the inside. of the jacket  I put one plant across the bottom of the bag and the other two standing up along the sides of the suit bag.  When I laid it on the metal detector belt, the agents didn't even notice.  I put it in the storage compartment with all the other suit holders.  I barely made the flight so my bag was the last one in.  When we landed, I opened the compartment and woosh, the whole area smelled like skunk (didn't have a seal o' meal), everybody standing near me said what is that smell, it's like a skunk in here?  Set my pals up with the plants and partied for 2 weeks.  Buds were the original One Hit Wonder.  NO ONE could take the second hit on a J without crashing.  Nobody knew what skunk bud was back then. The good ole days pre-TSA! True story!

In 82 I flew from Kansas City to Tucson with 4 pounds skunk in seal a meal bags in a checked bag to Tucson. Those were the days!! No one in Tucson had ever seen anything like it.

Old days it was ZigZag's. I started smoking tobacco with rolled rag ends out of a pouch or can about age 13. Quit tobacco decades ago and have converted to raw singles. Not into big fat joints that have trouble burning evenly or pin joints burn too fast. Singles with a paper filter are perfect for me.
Funny but now that I have grown so much I usually throw out the last 1/3 of most joints as it gets harsher.
Nice to have a large reserve.

[growell]

It was buckets in my youth 2litre bottles slso did them in them massive whisky bottles u keep your change in and it was black layer weed layer plastic were they hadnt bothered to remove it mad days

[buds73]

Lol did a few buckets myself in my younger days. I was lucky enough to be around when all you could get was hash, mostly morrocan soapbar (rocky), squidgy black, gold seal and red seal black. those were the days lol. I remember when it first started to get bunky though and you started finding plastic and other crap in it. i stopped smoking it at that point and turned to bud. Would love to get some old school rocky but whenever i ask about that stuff these days best they can offer is the crap solid stuff.

[dphipps1020]

This is what I've been using lately. I usually get the Raw blacks because they're super thin. These aren't too bad either though. I used to only use ZigZags because that's what I grew up with, but I'll never go back to those if the others are available. I love the trip down memory lane with the different types of papers everyone uses, or used to use. I never could roll with those damn wires in the papers, not sure why. I get mine from the smoke shop. There's so many different brands now though it can be overwhelming.

Yellow wheat straw zig-zag, old school, nuff said !

[Rwise]

I haven't tried the corn husk, maybe some day it does sound interesting, need to grow some Jamaican to put in it. I did try this once, setting in a stall out of papers and no pipe handy, I looked at the roll of TP hanging there and saw rolling papers. Well I plucked off a square and soon had a joint rolled. What a failure, to much ventilation, could not light it or get any draw through it. I so wanted to get high at that moment.

[crucialbunny]

When I was a teen and just starting my life down the Mary-Jane Lane, I once used a JuicyFruit wrapper. It probably had more THC than that dirt weed that was available at the time.

[OlderNOTwiser]

I'm still no damned good at rolling after all these years. Back in the early 70's we would take the cigs from a Marlboro hard pack and replace them with a dozen or so doobs. We used a little red roller thing and it rolled consistent and true every time. We'd walk about doing our business making sure one of us had the actual cigs so we could smoke walking about. Of course we had to push things and toke up (each) and walk about town smoking away. Today I use the dollar bill method but my grind or whatever doesn't seem to draw well in a joint.

[FunkyButtLovin]

What are you using to grind it up OP? A quality grinder makes a world of difference, especially with the kinds of herb we're smoking now vs the old bale and brick weed. It's near impossible for me to break it up by hand and get a good burning j, I have a cheap ass grinder that barely does any better but kept my fingers from getting so sticky I have to clean my hands for 5 minutes before rolling it. My wife uses a slightly better one that works ok. I use a Mendo Mulcher now and I'm pretty happy with it. I've used a Santa Cruz Shredder and they make a real nice one too but will cost you even more. I have heard great things about but have not yet tried the Brilliant Cut. They have lots of color options if you're into that but they have fine, medium and coarse grind plates and no threads!

[Xena]

Wow....I still use a pair of scissors as a grinder. Too much to relearn.

[Mazzariman]

Yup, scissors for me too. Just remove the lumber first , and cut it up with my trimming scissors.

[Rwise]

First place had "Raw" but tobacco flavored, I'm sure some folks like that, not me!
Second place had white and red Zig Zags, good enuf hunts over (for now) time to go roll a joint!

[FunkyButtLovin]

Well, how did it go? I just rolled this one to smoke while I shop for some square Club Modianos.

A mix of Cinderella Jack and Lemon Skunk x Strawberry Cheesecake herb with some blended (GSC, BDH, NL, Vader) 73 micron dry ice kief wrapped up in an Elements king size slim rice paper smeared with MAC oil.

[SoOrbudgal]

OK i was just going to read not log in but heck when i saw this by you FBL i began to smile. Outstanding doobie i been rolling some kief into the LS x SC autos man is that curing great

[Rwise]

Damn that looks tasty!

[Mazzariman]

That's a Bitchin reefer! Gotta get those Club M's! They're definitely worth whatever you have to pay. Truly a Blast From The Past!

[Yamkoos]

I buy the element papers in bulk, the boxes aren’t too bad in price and I love the little magnet case they have to stop other papers from getting messed up

Me too, I just opened a box a few days ago, only 3 packs gone. Smoking buds bigger than the dispensaries XL bottle requires lots of papers.
Strawberry Cheesecake auto

[FunkyButtLovin]

This one most definitely did not come from a dispensary. That's their 1/2 ounce bottle. They don't even have a display jar big enough to fit this at my local.

[Mazzariman]

Right, I took some samples of my larger buds to a disp 5 years ago. Their buyer loved it, but when he said they only buy in 10 lb. quantities, I said are you freaking kidding me, if I had 10 lbs. what would I be coming in here for! Haven't been in one since

[SoOrbudgal]

I just bought me 4pkg of moon blue pkg. I have not tried those yet, i've been rolling with the raw just no cones.

[growell]

do non of u put tobaco in your joints

[crucialbunny]

I live in a very eclectic neighborhood. Ghetto meets Beverly Hills type place and the prevalent choice here seems to be blunt smoking. I gave one young neighborhood guy a joint of some extremely fine weed and he I learned later that he unrolled it and put it in a blunt. He is forever off my gifting list.

[Mazzariman]

Putting tobacco in your weed is straight up sacrilege! That's chip blowing material! Oh my gosh, like gag me with a spoon!

[AccidentalGardener]

My boy made one out of a Swisher Sweet and I said, " If you light that in my kitchen, I will cut your hair while you sleep."

[SoOrbudgal]

No it's not widely done here growell . I remember as teenagers we would try and make blunts.

[growell]

most people here in uk do u must have to keep lighting every 2 seconds know wonder u all grow cost u a fortune that joint funkybutt show pic of must have 2gram in it £20 over here that without the oil think that £60 gram is it cheap over there or are we just tight over here i will have to try it when mine ready i just didnt think it would burn properly

[SoOrbudgal]

Hey growell here they sell full 1 gram joints like FBL has called pre-rolls. Depending on the strain top dollar joints might go $7.00 ea. But they also sell 1/2 gram joints by the 10pkg like cigs. Those go for about $21.00 not bad. But i only go there when i screw up my grow timing. I was buying to help supplement my auto harvest but we are looking good now won't need to buy hopefully not for a very long time.

[AccidentalGardener]

SoOrbudgal I'm going down there to buy my weed, LOL. $15 for a 1g premium pre-roll up here and then it burnses! So gross. growell I can't keep a joint lit, either. I just hang onto the lighter, lol.
