How to Judge
Inside are 23 handrolls from Michigan’s best cultivators. Each crafted by Phat Andy, to the same standard for a consistent experience.
Andy Advice
Use a small torch and slowly rotate the roll while lighting the tip evenly. After 45 seconds pull away to check the cherry. Repeat in 15 second intervals until fully lit. With a standard lighter: 60 seconds, then 20 second intervals.
Wait until the center is fully ignited before your first pull. Take slow gentle draws, no longer than 4 seconds. Between pulls rest for 30 seconds, holding it level or slightly angled down. Avoid ashing.
