A Gentleman's Rolling Paper Revue
- Thread starter Gentlemancorpse
- Start date
So this "two pile" conversation caught my attention. Ive never heard of that method before but I think i get the gist of it. Going to give it a try!
Way back @spyralout asked me to post a tutorial on how I roll but I cant really figure out how to show folks since I always need one hand to operate the camera lol.
But to give you an idea, I snapped a few pictures here...
Basically I start holding the paper in my left hand then drop the crutch in there. I add my ground up weed (and dry sift in this instance), essentially in the shape I want, so just a bit wider than the crutch on the left and increases in girth as I move to the right
Then I hold the paper with my index fingers at the back and my thumbs at the front and start rolling from the left. I find it helpful to keep the right side of the paper a little higher than the left so the herb naturally settles into the cone shape while I spin. Its also really important to tuck the paper around the crutch here so it stays tight
Then I kind of just roll the joint in a single motion, moving my thumbs to the right. When its done my left thumb is in the middle of the paper
If its a little loose Ill give the whole thing an extra spin, making sure to keep the edge of the paper tucked. And thats about it.
Time to smoke some weed.

As I think about it, theres a lot of little subconscious things I do while rolling that are hard to explain. A lot of it is to compensate for different papers and dryness and consistency of the herb. Maybe someday Ill have my fiancee help me make a video.
Them elements are good too. Same company as RAW. Is that a GK Genetics tray?
I roll cone spliffs similar to this. What I do is fold the paper in an angle smaller to the left. Then do the same thing.
Lol back in the day this cute hippy chick that worked for me at the Indian casino. She lived in the hills. She told me they were riding like 3 deep on a bench seat in her uncle’s stick shift truck. She had a bit of weed broken up and she couldn’t roll. He said give that to me. Then he rolled a joint in one hand while shifting lol ?
Man I miss brother @Phylex. I was lucky enough to meet him several times. Scholar and a gentleman. Every time we met up he had a care package all Xmas gift wrapped. I drove two hours each time to meet up w him, he drove about 1.5 hours. He’s onto other ventures but I still wanna meet up w him one day. Such good ppl.

? Master of Meat ?
For sure man the couple times I got to talk to him he seamed like a very knowledgeable and solid dude I’m glad I have a couple different packs of his beans that I still need to pop lol

Very nice ! Both the tutorial and job ?ty for sharing that .
No lie me and my buddy both used to do this, and for the same reason, chicks who couldnt roll. Id roll one handed in my left, steer with my knee and shift with my right, whipping around in my baby blue 92 Isuzu Pickup, which I miss dearly to this day. They werent cones though, dont think I couldve pulled that off lol
Fkn A man that multi tasking coordinating shit. I never pulled off a one handed joint but maybe I should try. Wait maybe I shouldn’t lol ? Baby blue ?

I can't even roll right.... Wife does all that if I don't use the little machine LOL.
Looked just like this one. Dont trip though, thing was a tank and a blast to drive! Had a 3.1L GM V6 with the 5 spd manual, solid front and rear axles with manual hubs and just BARELY enough room to cram a set of 30s on it stock. Basically a Trooper in truck form. Paid $500 for it with only 50k miles on it off a body shop where my friend worked. He had been using it for parts runs and nobody wanted it.It was so nimble and torquey Id get further down the trail than lifted jeeps with that thing. It was a sad day when it died. Still ran great, but it was so rusty from using it to launch dinghies in the salt water the frame actually snapped in half one day when we tried to put it on my buddys lift.
Ive been looking for one in decent shape for years but theyre basically extinct it seems. Werent many to start with and they rust away pretty quick around here. Much like early Toyotas they werent designed with salted winter roads in mind.
@spyralout also you should definitely try the one handed roll. If nothing else its a neat party trick lol. I havent tried in probably a decade honestly, probabky cant even do it anymore.
Im all stoned and waxing nostalgic now but that truck was also how I learned to drive stick. I was a broke ass teenager and needed a vehicle on short money, had never driven a manual at all... bought that thing and drove it home, stalling and pissing people off behind me the whole way haha. That poor clutch.

This is really interesting! I recently bought 4 packs of papers at a local spot, 2 RAW Black Hemp and 2 OCB Virgin Hemp. The RAWs were twice as expensive, but as I was using them I was like, these are exactly the same as OCB. What were they charging me double for?? Theres virtually no noticeable difference.Looks like RAW screwed the pooch

I was a little salty over it, and now seeing this, I think Im gonna stick with my OCBs for the time being
So I was thinking about this thread today because Ive settled on a go to rolling paper after all this trial and error ...
And its the OCB virgin papers! They burn great, have no flavor, are easy to find and are cheap to boot.

Someone mentioned King Palms in this thread and I cringed.. I find King Palms absolutely disgusting, it imparts a nasty taste that over powers the taste of the flower. I'm mostly a bong guy but once in awhile I'll grab cigarillos like Game's to roll a blunt. I'm not a big fan of rolling papers, they burn too fast imho.
