Blunt (cannabis cigar)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. A blunt is a cigar hollowed out and filled with marijuana. It is rolled with the tobacco-leaf "wrapper" from an inexpensive cigar. Blunts take their name from Phillies Blunt brand cigars, although any commonly available inexpensive cigar or cigarillo is likely to be used, due to suitability and availability. Another common term for a blunt is an "El-P" or "L", [1] a reference to the El Producto brand.[2] Another commonly used nickname is "Dutch" when referring to Dutch Masters. Swisher Sweets and White Owl cigars/cigarillos are also popular with those who smoke blunts.
Blunts also come as ready made tobacco wraps with hundreds of flavors across numerous brands.
In the tobacco industry, a blunt is defined as a cigar which is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a Corona. A cigarillo that has been split and re-rolled with marijuana is called a blunt in cannabis culture.
Due to the tobacco content in the wrapper leaf, blunts carry with them the risks of tobacco use, including addiction and cancer.[3] In addition to using cheap cigars and cigarillos to smoke cannabis, cigar wraps or "blunt wraps" are also used. These products are legal because they are ostensibly used in rolling one's own cigars.
