[TUT]How To Roll A Dutch(Pictures Inside)

[iKonic]

Rolling blunts, something everyone who smokes should know how to do.. So, since I love to do it so much here's a nice little tutorial on it.

First off, I don't roll with phillies or anything of the sort. Vanilla dutch, just like it should be done. Unless it's haze, because a green leaf is needed on that one. Matter-of-fact.. that's what this tutorial was made using. Some nice haze and a green. hahah

Let's get started.. first, you need to lick the entire leaf of the dutch. Doesn't take long, doesn't taste great.. but get over it. This is important though, it keeps it from ripping into pieces when you pull it off.. and that surely isn't something you want to happen. You're going to need it later. Start taking it off from the mouth side, might be a little tricky to get started, but it should look something like this.



See that gray paper near the end? That's called the cancer paper by most smokers, it's basically all chemicals and shit you DON'T want to smoke. So, catch an edge of it, and rip it off.

Now you're left with the brown paper, still filled with tobacco. You can either use a knife, or your fingers to crack the dutch. There is going to be a seem the length of the dutch, it's best to crack it along that line. Fingers work well to crack it, but if you mess up it will be tragic, usually that can cost you the dutch. I use a straight razor my friend bought me, it goes everywhere with me. Should look something like this..



Once the tobacco has been dumped out, you have to make a decision.. if you've got like a gram and a half going in, you might want to leave the brown paper full size. If not, and you're using less feel free to evenly rip off some paper from the edge you cracked it at, it's less paper to burn. Once that's done.. you'll have this..



You might ask how much to cut the paper down.. this blunt was done with a .8 of haze, this is what it looks like pre-roll.



Now, this is where it gets tricky.. we're going to call the edge next to my friends thumb Edge A. The one near his index finger, Edge B. And of course the to other sides will be refferred to as the ends.

Take Edge A and Edge B, meet them flat.. but don't fold or crease the dutch. Now, with your index and middle finger on the back of Edge A, and your thumb on the back of Edge B, slowly work it done. You're going to be making the bud a little condensed, roll it back and forth between your fingers. Now, pull Edge B down so it just covers the bud and doesn't sit flat. Using your thumb on either side, begin to tuck Edge B under Edge A. Lick the inside of Edge A and pull it over, sealing the "base blunt." You're going to work it down the whole way, tucking and sealing it. At first, you may make it kind of sloppy.. no worries, the leaf will take care of that.







Once you have that done, take the inside of a pen.. or a something of similiar size to pack the bud in.



Now take your base blunt and put on the leaf so that the end lines up with the small edge of the leaf. Make sure the leaf is nice and moist, and slowly roll the base blunt into the leaf. Do it slow, so you don't make it to tight, this can make or break a near perfect blunt.



Lastly, pack it one more time with that pen or whatever you used, then tear off the extra on the ends. You can simply bite it off to get past the viens in the green leaf. Careful, don't lose any bud!

Lastly, show it some love..



And you know how we do.. whoever rolls it, sparks it! Enjoy.

Note to GC: If there's anything wrong with my post, please notify me and I'll change it right away.. I'm not trying to break any rules, just help.

I need a more detailed image of

"Now, pull Edge B down so it just covers the bud and doesn't sit flat. Using your thumb on either side, begin to tuck Edge B under Edge A. Lick the inside of Edge A and pull it over, sealing the "base blunt." You're going to work it down the whole way, tucking and sealing it."

EDIT: Alright, well i used my knowledge of joint rolling and applied it with best judgement, ended up with a loosely rolled blunt thats short but thick.

Why dont you use a webcam and make a video of this part?

[iKonic]

Yea, I'm going to put those pictures up tomorrow morning. Gotta get em tonight.. I have a couple videos.. but images will be easier.

[iKonic]

Bump. Updated with more pictures, hope this helps MP-A.

[dirtybongwater]

Awesome thread! Very nicely done!

[iKonic]

Thank you thank you. Enjoyed making it.. hahah. I'll try and get a couple other ones up just for fun..

[WL-Jeff]

nice post man... good tut.


only complaint is, i have never seen a blunt rolled with less then an 2g+, just seems like a waste of a blunt... normally keep the 2g and below for the joints/flavoredpapers and bowls.


but i sent props none-the-less man, great post w/ pix for the fresh rollers

[Spooner]

Besides the fact that there is no point unless a blunt has 2g's at least the post was good.

[iKonic]

heh Sorry, moneys been tight so we don't smoke as much as we'd like to. If every blunt I smoked could be 2g+, they would be. I'm noone is big on J's around here, so those are left for me, myself, and I.

How should I trim it ..with a blade and just push down on the blade or acctually slice.

[iKonic]

If you're talking about trimming the brown paper, fold it over where you want to trim it.. then lick the edge, not the paper. Fold it the other way, and pull it off slow and gentle. Should be easy enough like that..
