Joint vs Blunt: What's the Difference?

Joint vs blunt: what's the difference?

A joint is rolled in thin, plant-based rolling paper. A blunt is rolled in tobacco-leaf wrap or a hollowed-out cigar. The wrap is the entire difference; grinding, packing, and rolling technique are the same base skill either way.

Does the wrap change the flavor?

Yes. Rolling paper is close to flavor-neutral, letting the flower's own terpene profile come through. Tobacco wrap adds its own flavor and aroma on top of the flower.

Which burns slower?

Blunts are typically thicker and denser, so they generally burn slower than a joint of the same size.

Which is better for THCA flower?

For flower with a distinct terpene profile, aroma and flavor lovers tend to prefer a joint, since the wrap doesn't compete with the flower's own profile. That's a preference call, not a rule.
