QUALITY CONTROL

IDENTIFYING QUALITY PRE-ROLLS

Not all pre-rolls are created equal. Here's how to spot quality:

Quality AspectGood SignsRed Flags
Visual InspectionEven color, no stems visible, tight uniform rollDiscolored spots, stems poking through, loose roll
Paper QualityClean white/brown paper, no runs or tearsYellowed paper, visible damage, poor seals
DensityFirm but not rock hard, slight give when squeezedToo loose (canoes) or too tight (won't draw)
AromaFresh cannabis smell, distinct terpene profileMusty, hay-like, or no smell
MoistureSlightly springy, not wet or bone dryCrumbles when handled or feels damp
💡 PRO TIP

Quality pre-rolls use the same flower sold in jars. Lower quality options may use shake, trim, or lower-grade material. Always ask what goes into your pre-rolls.

CONSUMPTION TECHNIQUE

HOW TO SMOKE PRE-ROLLS

Lighting Technique

  1. Hold pre-roll at 45-degree angle
  2. Rotate while applying flame to tip
  3. Don't inhale while lighting
  4. Ensure even cherry before first puff
  5. Take small, gentle puffs initially
  6. Tap off ash regularly

Common Issues & Fixes

  • Canoeing: Rotate to burn evenly
  • Running: Lick finger and dab the run
  • Too tight: Gently roll between fingers
  • Won't stay lit: May be too moist or packed
  • Harsh smoke: Take smaller, slower puffs
PRESERVATION

STORAGE & FRESHNESS

Proper storage maintains freshness, potency, and prevents pre-rolls from drying out or becoming too moist.

Container

Store in tubes, doob tubes, or airtight containers to prevent crushing

Humidity

Maintain 55-62% RH with humidity packs for optimal freshness

Temperature

Keep in cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight

Position

Store upright to prevent oil migration in infused pre-rolls

Shelf Life Guidelines:

  • • Regular Pre-Rolls: 6-12 months properly stored
  • • Infused Pre-Rolls: 3-6 months (concentrates degrade faster)
  • • Opened/Partially Smoked: Use within 24-48 hours
  • • Signs of Age: Harsh taste, difficulty staying lit, loss of aroma

Pre-rolls generate packaging waste, but many brands are adopting sustainable practices:

Eco-Friendly Options

  • • Hemp-based rolling papers
  • • Biodegradable packaging
