Are you looking for ways to elevate your smoking experience? We think we have a solution for you! We recommend you try a cannagar, the “crown jewel”, now the most luxurious and sought-after cannabis product. Combining the luxurious feel of a traditional cigar with the unique properties of cannabis, we’ve noticed a great rise in cannagar sales. Stay as we explain what is cannagar, its creation process, and the benefits one may encounter when consuming cannagar.

What Is a Cannagar?

A cannagar or cannabis cigar, an innovative cannabis product increasing in popularity, is made entirely of cannabis. Although referred to as cannabis cigars, there’s no tobacco involved in cannagars. More specifically, it is a pre-rolled cannabis product made in the shape of a cigar using cigar molds. Yet, unlike cigars, cannagar is made by tightly compacting cannabis into a “core” with a skewer down the middle to provide steady airflow.

Besides cannabis, what is a cannagar made of? Are they rolled with ultra-thin rolling papers, or do they use different leaves because of their weight?

Cannagars in their composition include a large amount of ground cannabis and concentrate (if infused) and are wrapped with hemp leaves and glued together with hemp wick. Crafted to deliver a slow, smooth, and potent smoking experience, cannagars are often handmade and designed to burn longer than typical joints or blunts.

So, in short, if you are looking for the best way to enjoy cannabis for hours on end, you could always go with cannagars. For an even more intense and immediate experience, you could dip the cannagar in kief. Just like kief covered blunts, cannagars could be covered with kief as well. To do this, you first coat the fan leaves in concentrates, then dip in kief.

The Creation Process

To make a cannagar, you’ll need:

Your favorite strain of cannabis flower
A grinder
Cannagar mold
Toothpick or skewer to wrap the flower around
Hash oil
Cannabis fan leaves or hemp wraps
Hemp wick

Cannabis selection

The first and most important step in creating a cannagar involves choosing a high-quality cannabis flower. First, you should consider the strain selection.

We advise you to choose strains with your desired effect. Depending on your intended experience, you can choose indica, sativa, or hybrid strains. Sativa is known for its energetic effects, indica is calming and relaxing, and hybrids, as the name implies, are a combination of both.

We recommend organically grown flowers because of their potency and flavor. Look for cannabis with a high THC or CBD content and strong terpene profiles for flavor and aroma. Moreover, we find fresh, sticky buds with visible trichomes and a strong smell ideal. Avoid dry or crumbly cannabis.

Preparation

Preparing the cannabis and other materials is crucial for a smooth rolling process.

You should ground the flower to a medium consistency because it helps in achieving a consistent flavor and burn. The core, which determines the cannagar’s shape and size, is created with a skewer or a narrow wooden dowel.

Once you do all of this, the ground cannabis should be packed tightly around the core. This can be done using cigar molds or by hand. We want to point out that consistent packing ensures even burning and helps maintain the cannagar shape.

Curing

Curing is an important step because it improves the flavor and smoking experience. Curing involves compression, curing time, and temperature and humidity.

The packed cannagar is compressed using a mold or manually. This tightens the cannabis even more around the core.

Then, the cannagar is left to cure for several days to weeks. Curing allows the cannabis to dry evenly and develop richer flavors.

Rolling

The final step involves wrapping the cured cannagar to complete the process.

Now, you should choose cannabis or hemp leaves to wrap the cannagar. Keep in mind that they should be fresh without stems. Then, wrap the leaf tightly around the cured cannagar.

The wrapped cannagar may be tied with string or hemp to keep the leaf in place. Some also brush the leaf with concentrates or oils for additional potency and flavor.

How to Store Cannagars

We recommend storing your cannagars in an airtight container for one or two weeks before consumption to allow the leaves to properly cure. If they stay in their molds for a few days, they will become smoother and hold their shape.

The Benefits of a Cannagar

One of the most notable benefits of a cannagar is definitely the extended burn time. Due to its dense and carefully constructed design, cannagars burn slowly and provide a smoking session that can last for literal hours. But just how long does a cannagar last? Cannagars can last between 30 minutes and 4 hours, depending on the cannagar size. Due to the slow and even burn, cannagars tend to produce less waste compared to other smoking methods.

What’s more, cannagars are crafted to deliver a smooth and potent smoking experience. The compressed cannabis flower creates a controlled and even burn, resulting in a flavorful draw with each puff.

Typically, only premium-grade cannabis flowers and leaves are used in the creation of a cannagar, offering a rich flavor profile that can be greatly appreciated by consumers. Lastly, most cannagars include cannabis concentrates or oil in their composition to increase the overall potency. The combination of flowers and concentrates delivers a powerful and effective high, appealing to experienced users.

Conclusion

So, let’s recap. What is a cannagar? Cannagars are pre-rolled cannabis products that combine flower and cannabis oil, usually wrapped in cannabis or hemp leaves. They are popular among consumers because they offer a slow-burning, long-lasting experience and enhanced flavor profile.

The best thing when it comes to cannagars is that you can create the flavor profile by choosing strains with your desired effect. We also recommend choosing organically grown flowers because of their potency and flavor when creating the cannagar. Keep in mind that preparation, curing, and rolling play a major role in creating a quality cannagar.
