The act of igniting a rolled combination of cannabis and tobacco (or alternative smoking herb), facilitating its consumption through inhalation, necessitates a controlled application of heat to initiate combustion. This process, a fundamental step in partaking, requires attention to detail for an even and consistent burn. For example, incomplete combustion results in an uneven and diminished experience.
Proper execution optimizes the consumption experience by ensuring a steady and controllable burn. This minimizes wasted material and maximizes the enjoyment derived from the smoking blend. Historically, this practice represents a blend of cultural traditions, where tobacco and cannabis use have intersected in various parts of the world, creating unique smoking rituals.
