aka cigar wrap

A blunt is a cannabis joint rolled in a tobacco-leaf cigar wrap (often a Backwoods or Phillies cigar that's been emptied and refilled). Blunts contain larger amounts of cannabis (1-3 grams) and burn slowly, making them shareable. Modern hemp blunt wraps avoid tobacco entirely.

Example: We rolled a blunt of that exotic for the cookout.

Etymology: From the Phillies Blunt cigar brand, popularized in 1990s hip-hop culture.
