You don't need to roll the whole backwood, just use how much you need, and tear the rest off. The only reason to use backwoods or fronto, is because of the thickness of the tobacco leaf, so it burns slower which is needed if you are smoking with others, and its more pure then blunts or cheap cigars, I wouldn't smoke them shyt every time I puff, though, that's too much tobacco, and it dulls the actual weed high because its less weed smoke going into your lungs. I call it a cheap high. Blunts in general was started to help crackheads get off the crack pipe, because the tobacco gives a rush, but its less of an effect then putting straight tobacco into the herb,and it burned for a long time when rolled thick. Its hard to smoke crack in joint paper! Jamaicans started it in Brooklyn, around 1985/1986, at least that's when I first saw them.
I started smoking backwoods in 1996, but after smoking pure good herb for years, all that shyt does is give a rush, mess with the taste of the herb, and not a real high. i just use a sprinkle of tobacco in my herb for the rush, when I want it. That gives less health risk, and a better high.
If I want a blunt, I just roll the leaf of a dutchmaster by itself, since its thin, and don't add too much flavor to the herb.
