A bunch of Idaho senators learned something crazy recently: People use the fruit-flavored “cigar wraps” sold in head shops for rolling something other than cigars! Who told them about this stunning development? Why, the cigar industry of course–the folks who are selling fewer and fewer of their own pre-rolled cigars to crafty stoners.The Spokesman-Review reported Monday that the Cigar Association of America is besieging Idaho lawmakers to step in and ban cigar wraps like Blunt Wrap and Juicy Wraps, because there’s “no legitimate use” for them other than to roll weed in.Idaho Republican state Senator Denton Darrington, chairman of the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee, tells the Spokesman that this “new technology” in endo-smoking accessories is totally tripping him out, man. “It is so typical of what we’ve faced within the whole drug culture–they’re always coming out with some new technology to be ahead of us.”Except that cigar wraps have been around for years, if not decades, and it’s only recently that the cigar industry has jumped on board with clergy and police in demanding they be banned. It’s working, too. The products are now illegal in Canada, Boston, and New York City. Of course banning cigar wraps because people use them to smoke weed won’t stop stoners from getting high. It will, however, force them to go back to the traditional and far less convenient method of blunt-rolling, which involves buying a cigar, splitting it longways, removing the tobacco, replacing it with dope, and carefully sealing it back together with saliva.Or so I hear.But the point is, blunt smokers will return to supporting the well-established tobacco companies like Swisher and Phillies–companies that have been making drug paraphernalia for decades, but, as they say, doing it “legitimately.”
