This content is intended for audiences 21 years and older, as required by U.S. law.

🛠 What You’ll Need Before You Start

Before you dive into rolling, make sure you have the following:

Cannabis flower: Opt for premium, fresh flower. Explore Trap University’s THCA flower collection for top strains like Pink Rozay and Banana Runtz.
Blunt wraps or cigarillos: Popular choices include hemp wraps, Backwoods, or Swisher Sweets.
Grinder: Helps achieve a fluffy, consistent texture.
Small knife or blade: Useful for splitting cigarillos.
Optional rolling tray: Keeps things neat and contained.

✅ Step 1: Choose the Right Cannabis Flower

Your flower sets the tone for your blunt. Look for:

Sticky, aromatic buds.
A healthy trichome layer.
Robust terpene profiles.

Top Recommendations from Trap University:

Pink Rozay — sweet berry notes, perfect for relaxation.
Apples and Bananas — fruity and spicy, ideal for daytime energy.

✅ Step 2: Grind Your Flower

Use a grinder to break your cannabis down into a fluffy consistency. Aim for a balance:

Not too fine: Powdery flower can clog airflow.
Not too chunky: Large pieces can make rolling difficult.

✅ Pro Tip: Tap the grinder occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even grind.

✅ Step 3: Prep Your Blunt Wrap

If using a cigarillo:

Gently split it down the middle using a blade or your fingers.
Remove the tobacco and flatten the wrap.

If using a pre-made blunt wrap:

Unroll it gently.
Moisten slightly with a damp paper towel or a light lick for flexibility.

✅ Optional Hack: Place your wraps in a ziplock with a damp paper towel for 15 minutes to rejuvenate them.

✅ Step 4: Fill and Shape

Lay your wrap on a flat surface and spread your ground cannabis evenly:

Start with more in the center and taper off toward the edges.
Avoid clumping in one spot.

✅ Shaping Tip: Use your fingers to gently mold the cannabis into a cylindrical shape.

✅ Step 5: Tuck and Roll

This is the most crucial and often the trickiest part:

Tuck one edge of the wrap under the cannabis.
Slowly roll upward, using your thumbs and fingers.
Apply gentle pressure without tearing the wrap.

✅ Rolling Tip: Start rolling from the middle and work your way out to the edges.

🔥 Step 6: Seal the Blunt Like a Pro

Once you’ve successfully rolled your blunt, it’s time to seal it. Lightly moisten the exposed edge of the wrap with your tongue or a damp cloth, and press it down gently along the seam.

✅ Pro Tip:

Use minimal moisture to avoid tearing.
Smooth the seam with your fingers and let it set for a moment.

🌬️ Step 7: Bake and Set Your Blunt

Before lighting up, gently run a lighter’s flame around the seam and length of your blunt. This process, known as “baking,” helps tighten the roll and solidify the seal.

✅ Bonus Hack:

Hold the flame at a safe distance to avoid burning the wrap.
Let your blunt rest for a minute after baking.

🔎 Step 8: Inspect and Quality Check

Before lighting, check for:

Even texture: The blunt should feel smooth without lumps.
Proper airflow: Inhale gently through the mouthpiece to confirm there are no blockages.
No cracks: Patch minor cracks with a small piece of wrap if needed.

🔥 Step 9: Light and Enjoy

Hold your blunt at an angle and rotate it as you light the tip to ensure an even burn. Take small, steady puffs and enjoy the rich flavors and smooth draw.

✅ Flavor Tip:

Use premium THCA flower from Trap University’s Flower Collection for the best terpene and potency experience.
