    Soooo, for feb. break this year I will be going to Mont Sutton, canada, where I plan on buying cuban cigars. Can you roll blunts with cuban cigars, or only with blunts? And what are my chances of scoring weed up in a small village like this?

    dunno about scoring chance but if you're a skilled blunt roller you can roll up. you really have to soak it though before you start cuz REAL cigars are quite dry. i had a qp and a liberated cuba cigar(from miami i believe) and i let my friend roll it cuz he was the blunt rollin king of the world, it was so damn nice...it smoked fro about an hour and was about 26 grams.

    Why would you destroy a Cuban like that?

    Mont Sutton is in Quebec if I'm thinking of the right place. I was looking at taking a road trip up there myself, but that probably isn't gonna happen.

    Yeah, Cubans are fucking expensive, but still a very nice smoke (usually), why waste 14$ cnd on a cigar when a 50 cent one will work just as well.
    So... smoke the cigar, and use a regular philly to roll the blunt.

    quebec is a hash province so thats what you'll most likely find. Mont Sutton is a ski resort is it not? you should be able to score some there.

    imo a swisher sweet makes the best blunt. I've done it with a fine quality cigar and it took about 4 times as long to roll and it wasn't any better then the siwsher.

    Yeah sutton is a ski town just over the American border. I figure I'll look for some french speaking kids that look high and ask them haha. I have purchased small cuban cigars, about the size of a joint for about 3 dollars, so maybe Ill try and roll something with one of them

    NONONONONONONO!

    NEVER use a real cigar for rolling a blunt. its got nothing to do with how dry they are (they should never be bone dry! a good cigar MUST be stored at around 70% relative humidity to keep it fresh and to ensure that it has the proper moisture content) it just simply has to do with how they're made and what they taste like.

    first of all the construction of a premium cigar is far too different from that of a machine made blunt for anyone but the most skilled rollers to destroy and then reassemble. there are long filler leaves, the binder is a real leaf, and then the wrapper is also real tobacco leaf. none of that tobacco paper nonsense that you see in phillies or swishers or white owls. those are wrapped with frankenleaves...homogenized tobacco product....a sort of paper made from mashed up leaves and stems of seriously inferior tobacco. they will have only the slightest taste of tobacco compared to real cigars. real ones will not be good for blunts because you inhale, and that will change the flavor a lot. real tobacco leaves will make for a much harsher smoke. furthermore simply because cuban cigars are legal in canada does not mean that they will be cheap. they will still run close to around 20USD at least.

    cuban cigars are NOT known for being mild. they are known for having a terriffic construction and a very full bodied complex flavor. the filler and binder give relatively little to the cigar in the flavor department, and mostly determine the body of the smoke and the nicotine content. the flavor is most determined by the wrapper leaves. since the wrapper would be present, it would give that really strong tobacco flavor to the blunt, but it would be even stronger unless you used the same amount of pot in the blunt as there was filler leaves in the cigar.

    real cigars are closed at the end, and you'd have to open up a mouthpeice. this would be the least of your concerns.

    machine made cigars are usually a good deal smaller than real cigars.

    go buy some cheap cigar from a real tobacconist and dissect it if you want to learn more about how hard it would be to roll a blunt with it. the wrapper will almost surely completely unravel and be nearly impossible to reapply. tobacco leaves wont stick with just saliva as easily as the gas station cigar frankenleaves.

    the binder is also a real, whole leaf, and since it is not a paper-like product precisely rolled by a machine, will likely be all wrinkled and bunched up. this, combined with the properties of real tobacco leaf wrappers, will make it nearly impossible to roll a decent blunt with a cuban cigar. you'd need to have several backups on hand in case you messed up (which you almost surely will unless you are the master of all master blunt rollers...)

    needless to say it would be a VERY expensive experiment, and it would almost surely be an unpleasant session if you do somehow manage to roll a blunt. the blunt would be VERY harsh and would not taste like a blunt usually tastes, even if you're used to rolling with unflavored blunts.

    i'd say save all the money and frustration, and save your lungs and throat the difficulty of feeling obligated to finish such an expensive and difficult to roll blunt. by all means indulge yourself in some good smokes, but dont use a cuban to roll a blunt. i'd say smoke a joint or a normal blunt (canadian weed is usually much better than most of the stuff south of the border anyhow, so you have no real need to smoke a big blunt anyways) and then enjoy a cuban to top it off. but dont try to mesh the two together; the results will almost definitely be catastrophic....

    no way. ever heard of a trade embargo? we can't import things from cuba, and we can't export things to cuba. i garauntee that cuban cigars are NOT made with american grown tobacco.

    The Cuban cigars are made with Cuban tobacco, but yeah, I agree that the wrappers are not American, becaues of the embargo.

    dont destroy a good cigar like that not only are you paying for the cigar your also paying for the time for a person to hand roll that cigar with love...your paying a master roller for his time not just for some tobacco....

    I used a swisher sweet at bonnaroo cause it seemed not one dam person in the entire place had a phillies brand blunt and I was pretty disappointed. It smoked like shit and tasted like a hairy asscrack covered in sweat that was on fire.

    if your gonna do it you have to take the wrapper and the binder and get them moist very moist. Then allow them to reconstitute a bit.

    when they are nice flexable take them and stick them together and place them between a couple books with some weights on top. leave for an hour or so. When your done you'll have a flat blunt wrap.

    I didn't find the taste to be harsh, but the "frankenleaf" blunts do taste better.

    my sugestion is smoke a joint and then have a cigar and kick back and relax
