The process of creating a blunt involves emptying a cigar or cigarillo of its tobacco and replacing it with cannabis. This method of consumption combines the flavor of the tobacco leaf wrapper with the effects of the cannabis, offering a unique experience. The size and shape of the resulting product often resemble a cigar.
This method is popular due to the potentially slower burn rate compared to other methods, allowing for a longer-lasting experience. The tobacco leaf wrapper also contributes a distinct flavor profile that many find appealing. Historically, this practice has been associated with specific subcultures and social settings, further contributing to its cultural significance.
