Oldheads who started rolling weed in blunts?

[Ya Sinning Mane]

90's .. smoked Garcia Vegas in the bay . You only needed half a gram to be zooted and a Vega is perfect size plus burns slow

Most So-Cali dudes I knew were smoking zig-zags ..

White boys were smoking Bongs all over Cali tho ..

I went away to school and met my roommate and his ppl that were from the Chi .. They smoked Phillies Titans and Blunts .

I was familiar with Phillies Blunts because of artists like Redman & Meth





Which were perfect ..Because they were huge and you could fit a lot of Stress / Cess in them and all they had out there was Bammer ..



But a lot of brehs smoked Swisher Sweets Blunts down South..

Which were also good to .. for the same reason (Bammer) plus they tasted better .. For me . They had a Vibe . Can't explain it



So when i got back to Cali .. I was stuck on Swishers so started smoking Cigarillos

Which were the perfect compromise because I still got the Vibe and didnt need Blunts because you dont need as much Cali weed as you do other places .

Now Im on Swisher Diamonds ..

The absolute GOAT . Pure Zen

Yea i fukked with Backwoods , White Owls , Dutch Masters .. Just dont do it for me .

Too much excess tobacco too I think .

my cousin just put me
Down with the diamond swishers the other day.
I ain’t lookin back after I run out of white owls tonight

I've never not smoked weed from a blunt

You're missing out on the flavor

Especially from an actual Latin Cigar

Who first came up with the fronto roll up?

Rastas, they used corn husk before that IIRC, but where are you gonna get corn husk in a major city? Aint nobody going to the grocery store, and buy corn just to smoke the husk

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

Started in medieval times and they used leaves which is equivalent to woods.

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

I thought it started in Philly

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

i hate woods, Waaaaaaay too strong. Like smoking weed and a Blacc at the same time

Nah, they actually smoke smoother than Dutches or Swishers. U just have to put so much in it to offset that Tobacco taste.

Didnt start smoking in NY until 96-97 but I remember philly's were only 25 cents

went down to Atlanta and they were only smoking blunts for special occasions (white people)

I feel like in NY because it was cheap and there's a store everywhere it was easy to cop and go

Maybe the dude saying Philly was right Also think the rasta shyt was right too from way back

Didnt nikkas smoke thai sticks in the 70s?

I know my aunt used to keep some sticks dried up

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Always been swishers owl white owls in Detroit.

But Snoop said on the coast he never even heard of a blunt until 2Pac rolled one for him.

I hope yall are joking saying blunt smoking started anywhere else beside Brooklyn

People smoked joints UNTIL Cypress Hill got people to smoke blunts in 1991, and they porbably got the idea from DJ muggs who is from NYC, before that only NYC was on blunts., going back to the mid 80's

From el productos to Phillies, white owls, dutchmasters, and more. I used to pay $.25 for a phillie or dutch, then it went to $.50. Then I just bought packs of backwoods for $2, which we started as well. Only Brooklyn nikkas was smoking backwoods. I started backwoods in 1996. Then I just went onto fronto since it was just $1, and more fresh. Then I said fukk all that tobacco, and went to papers, pipes then bongs, now vaporizers.

I dunno about that. Boston nikkas been on that for a minute maybe it's because of yall the yardies that came through from NYC. I was born in 94 though earliest account I seen of a blunt was in 98 when my baby sitter used to kill one before she would watch my bad ass

The Rastas was smoking extra long filled blunts in places like Blue Mountain (jamaca) and westmorland (jamaica) where the Nyambhingi tribe out of hatred for the King James bible would roll blunts with Bible scripture pages back in the 1960s

When the Rasta dreads migrated to Miami and NYC via the Gullymen ..the Shower posse and Spangler it influenced the African Americans who did business with them

I know of this cause I was a teen in 1986 watching this happen

American blacks was still Smoking spliffs

THAT WASNT A GOOD THING BRETHREN

DOWN SOUTH THEY CALLED THEM "BOATS"

I know it's not good. I'm just saying that's the earliest reference I know to smoking blunts I've heard. plus this wasn't pure crack

You might be right about Derek X and Grand Puba making the first references to blunts on wax.

This sounds about right, but dudes were smoking joints on EZ Wider at the time here (from what I recall)

and I didn't know that this was the origin of smoking bible paper/pages. Don't Rastas consider themselves Nazarites (from the Old Testament)....some of their beliefs and ideology comes from the KJV of the bible, correct? Or are Nyabinghi a sect of Rasta with different system?
