Some of the best moments of your life involve joints and blunts, surely sharing it with some friends drunk on good vibes. It is too bad when it is over, and you wish they didn’t burn that quick.
Purple Rose Supply brought back a Thai method from the ’70s to make cigars that last for hours. They are called Cannagars, and you can make them yourself at home.
Keep reading to learn how to improve your smoking experience and show off like a boss in front of your friends.
A cannagar is the ultimate luxury in cannabis smoking—think of it as a cannabis cigar. It’s made by tightly compressing cannabis around a skewer, then wrapping it in hemp or cannabis leaves. The concept comes from Thai Sticks, a popular method from the 1970s, but modern cannagars take things to the next level.
At the core, you’ll find densely packed high-grade cannabis, often mixed with hash or kief for an extra kick. Some cannagars also include a coating of cannabis oil or rosin for added potency. Unlike blunts, which use tobacco wraps, cannagars are all about the cannabis—no tobacco in sight.
What makes a cannagar special is its slow-burning nature, thanks to its compressed core.
Depending on the size, a cannagar can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours!

Purple Rose Supply currently makes the best cannagar molds and accessories for creating cannabis cigars (cannagars) at home.
They made their molds easy-to-use and effective, so that you always end up with a perfect, slow-burning cannagar at the end.
They conveniently make their cannagar molds in different sizes:
They design their molds in such a way that they’re supposed to last almost 3x longer than traditionally rolled joints or blunts.

First off, grind up your buds to the finest consistency. We need those pieces of flowers to be tiny so they can fit in the mold in the next step.
Lock the latch of the mold and place the clean skewer inside through the hole at the bottom. Then, pack some ground-up flowers into the built-in mold.
Use the compacting tool to press on that weed, it has a hole that fits the skewer so don’t worry about breaking it.
Don’t put it all at once before compacting. Press your weed in the mold every time you insert some of it to guarantee maximum compression.
Cure your molded weed by storing it in a cool and dry place. The amount of time you need to wait for it to cure depends on the amount of weed you used.
A personal Cannagar of around 3 g takes 1.5 hours to cure. A small Cannagar of around 6 g takes 3 hours.
And, a large Cannagar of around 12 g takes at least 8 hours. In any case, it works best if you let them cure overnight.
It is time to wrap your soon-to-be Cannagar. Take your cannabis fan leaves and place them on a flat surface with a damp towel underneath.
Moistening your fan leaves is a great way to keep them from cracking and breaking, similar to blunt wraps. Next, gently use your thumbs to remove the compacted cannabis shape from the mold, place it onto the fan leaves, and roll it up.
If you don’t have access to cannabis fan leaves and want an easier pre-made option, the All-in-1 Personal Mix from Purple Rose Supply contains a pre-rolled hemp shell that fits your Cannagar mold perfectly.
Simply slide the hemp shell around your cannabis mold; a pro tip is to add some concentrate to your weed before rolling to add more flavor and potency.
Before smoking it, remove the skewer. You can notice the perfect airflow that the skewer hole provides. This will make your Cannagar burn evenly. Use a torch to seal the leaves, but don’t leave it too long over the same place, or it will burn.
Now it is time to light it up and enjoy the smoothest smoke ever! Use the torch to burn one extreme and use the wooden tip to protect your lips from the burning material.
If there is a pro tip here, it is to pass the Cannagar to your friends and enjoy it together. Depending on the size, it will last from 30 minutes to four hours, so there is enough for everyone in the room.

How much do you want? Cannagars are thick, so they hold a nice amount of weed. A large Cannagar can hold around 12 g and up to 14 g. If that is what you want, you can have it, but try starting with smaller dosages around 6 g. And, if you are a new user, 3 g should be fine for you.
Don’t try to take more than what you need. You can get green out with unpleasant effects and waste your precious weed.
And, always buy top-quality buds so you can get the best you can from smoking cannabis. Better quality means smoother smoke, a better high, and less cough.
