In the early 2000s, I used to be in awe when i watched my parents roll up with Grape Optimos and Swishers. I thought they was doing some profound shyt .

Good question tho

 

[I Really Mean It]

Blunts started in NY and Boston.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I don't think its possible to really know for sure

my oldest aunt is from uptown and she asked me once in the 90's
what you doing ova there ...rolling a stogie?
I showed her the Phillies and she nodded her head

Im sure it was a cuban that hung out with some Rastas
cuban tried to pass a cigar and Rastas went wtf is this brethren?
cuban said oh I rolled that...nikkas was like nah roll this fire up
cac was ear hustling and stole all that

I remember in the 90s we experimented with different types... Vegas & phillies

Then swishers and optimos... Now everyone smokes backwoods

First time I saw a blackwood had to of been in some eastcoast video in the early 2000s

But out here backwoods exploded in popularity probably in the mid to late 2000s with Mac Dre

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

that started in seattle

 

[TRY GOD]

Blunts started NY in the late 70s because people would roll hard drugs with their weed (like pcp PCP and later crack cocaine) and needed something that could handle the circumstances, plus the Jamaicans used leafs

 

[Take It In Blood]

I've never not smoked weed from a blunt

 

[Archangel]

Started in Georgia in the early 40s

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I'm gonna say NY

But that's kinda like figuring out who started wearing ball caps backwards

90's .. smoked Garcia Vegas in the bay . You only needed half a gram to be zooted and a Vega is perfect size plus burns slow

Most So-Cali dudes I knew were smoking zig-zags ..

White boys were smoking Bongs all over Cali tho ..





I went away to school and met my roommate and his ppl that were from the Chi .. They smoked Phillies Titans and Blunts .

I was familiar with Phillies Blunts because of artists like Redman & Meth





Which were perfect ..Because they were huge and you could fit a lot of Stress / Cess in them and all they had out there was Bammer ..



But a lot of brehs smoked Swisher Sweets Blunts down South..

Which were also good to .. for the same reason (Bammer) plus they tasted better .. For me . They had a Vibe . Can't explain it



So when i got back to Cali .. I was stuck on Swishers so started smoking Cigarillos

Which were the perfect compromise because I still got the Vibe and didnt need Blunts because you dont need as much Cali weed as you do other places .

Now Im on Swisher Diamonds ..

The absolute GOAT . Pure Zen

Yea i fukked with Backwoods , White Owls , Dutch Masters .. Just dont do it for me .

Too much excess tobacco too I think .

I thought it started in the Bay, could be wrong though
