Sometimes you walk into a headshop and one product sticks out from the rest. It doesn’t happen all the time but Bluntzilla, by Juicy Blunts, pulled it off.

As far as definable traits are concerned, that about covers it. The smoking experience doesn’t give off anything unique. No taste added to your blunt and no aroma emitted. Too bad, because I was expecting really good things from something with such a bold name.

Even though there isn’t as much personality as expected, the smoking experience wasn’t unpleasant. This wrap still brings the high quality Juicy Blunts manufacturing process - even burn and no runs.

This wrap won’t cause panic in a large Japanese city, but it will set you well on your way to personal devastation.

Creating hybrid flavors is a very challenging feat for most blunt manufacturers. Many attempts miss their mark and turn out resembling a botched science experiment. Not Juicy Jay’s. Their Black & Blueberry blunt wrap manages to successfully meld two distinct flavors.

The classic Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe is and will be forever a favorite of mine. This cigar has all the major elements required to make a great blunt.

Second, the outer leaf can be easily taken off when lightly moistened and used for the final preparation of the blunt. This comes in handy for beginner blunt rollers who don’t have the control with just one leaf. Make sure to keep it moist!

The inner leaf is big enough to roll up any size blunt that may be needed. You can chop it down for a mini or leave it full size for a serious session. And to top it, off just wrap up the inner leaf with the outer leaf for a nice tight blunt.

Last but not least, these cigars burn at the perfect speed. Not too fast and not too slow. However, I have had some difficulty with these blunts canoing every now and then. Luckily, this can be fixed with some saliva near the burning edge.

I have always enjoyed a nice Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe and with all the flavors out now, you can easily find one that fits your taste! And for all you beginner rollers, a Dutchie is a great way to perfect your skills.

One of the most well-known methods to roll up some bud is with the classic Phillies Blunt.

The taste isn’t anything spectacular, it’s actually what you’d expect. The smoke is light & pleasant, not heavy at all. Phillies burn at a faster pace but will be more than adequate for two (and up to four) people.

If you ever find yourself stuck in a situation where you need to roll but don’t have a nice wrap, just find a local mart and grab one of these guys. They’re found all over the place, making it the most commonly stocked blunt wrap around. It’ll do the job without busting your wallet and that’s always a plus.

When presented with vanilla-flavored smoke accessories, I tend to hold higher standards. If I believe the product falls even slightly below the bar, then I consider the attempt unsuccessful. Luckily there’s nothing to worry about on this one, Blunt Wrap Magnum: Coconut Vanilla.

Like always, Blunt Wrap manages to pull off a perfect amount of moisture, an essential part to any presentation. Kingpin, are you taking notes? The smoke is smooth without all of the harsh qualities usually existent in multiple flavored blunts. Unfortunately, there’s no added taste, which (in my opinion) is becoming more regularly neglected by blunt manufacturers.

Bottom line: This wrap should suit the average smoker (and vanilla enthusiast) unless the lack of smoke essence is a real deal-breaker.

The ZenSmoke blunt I’m reviewing today is Kingpin: Paradise Peach. Right off the bat, you’ll notice the presentation sets this blunt apart from the rest and I’m not saying that’s a good thing.

This Kingpin did smoke nicely though. The taste of the smoke was extremely smooth and leaves a sweetness on the mouth. It even burns at a slower than average speed, perfect for a group session.

Overall, the initial unwrapping of the packaging left me slightly dumbfounded on how I was going to roll with this dry-as-hell leaf. Yet, despite having some bad luck with this selection, I wouldn’t mind trying another Kingpin.

After receiving many messages from you guys to do more back-to-the-basics tobacco wrap reviews, we caved in. So today I present the good ol’ Swisher Sweets: Cigarillos. These tiny cigars come in handy quite often for me. I enjoy the taste, smell, and you don’t have to use all your bud filling them.

The mini cigars come in a wide range of flavors from plain to grape to strawberry. And these flavors make quite a difference when lit. One end of the cigarillo is heavily flavored so when smoking it gives your bud an even sweeter taste. However, before getting to the smoking part, first comes the tricky one. You don’t want to damage the little surface area you have, so take your time. An experienced blunt roller should have no problem rolling one of these within minutes, ready to smoke.

I wasn’t big into Swisher Sweets in the beginning but damn it, they wear on you. They’re great for a one to three person session and they usually hold a decent amount of bud if needed.

True Blunts is a brand that we are going to feature more often on tFS. Their line has expanded in recent months, and with the addition of celebrity endorser Warren G, expect them to make a splash. Today, I’m reviewing the Sweet Cherry flavor.

The wrap itself smells very similar to cherries. This is by far its strongest asset. Everything else kind of drops off afterwards. The wrap taste and texture is solid, but not amazing. There’s no flavor added and no scents added to your smoke. These wraps to burn at a nice pace and the smoke had a definite smoothness to it.

It might be the completely wrong time of the year to think about tropical breezes and island-grown fruit, but something’s got to brighten up the day of all our New York readers.

Today, I’m reviewing Juicy Blunts Tropical Passion flavored blunt wrap.

The aroma for this wrap was extremely hard to pinpoint. After a lot of debate, it was decided that tropical passion really means sweet cantaloupe. Still, it almost seems that Juicy threw too many scents into this batch and ended up with a very indistinct overall impression.

Tropical Passion provides no leaf taste, smoke taste or smoke aroma. There are quite a few other JB wraps that come to mind before I would recommend this one.

If you’re going to do an exotically-themed blunt wrap, get it right, because the market is already full of them. It’s like bringing a Mustang to a parking lot full of Ferraris… you won’t stand out.

Many blunt manufacturers use straws, plastic wrap, sealed packaging or any combination of the three to keep fresh and safe guard their wraps. Still, there’s no protection in your pocket or if you accidentally sit on them.

The blunt wrap that’s taken packaging to another level is the Kingpin Premium Blunt. Today I’m reviewing the Chocolate Mint flavor.

Kingpins smoke much better than I expected. At first, I thought this was an unwrapped Cyclone, but I was 100% wrong. The chocolate mint smell is definitely present on the wrap. There is also a strong tobacco odor from the leaf itself, which makes the mint more subdued than it normally would be.

The rolling process was extremely easy as Zensmoke built in a tapered (thinner) edge to the wraps. Once lit, these things go down smooth. Very smooth. There isn’t any flavor added to the smoke or much of an aroma given off, but that’s Ok. The best part about Kingpins is their slow, even burn.

I was impressed by this wrap and look forward to reviewing more.
