The guide to the perfect joint
4 Basic Tips & the alternative with pre-rolled cones
There's hardly a symbol that embodies the cannabis lifestyle more than the joint . For many, it's a ritual, a craft, and a moment of enjoyment all in one. But what makes a truly perfect joint —and is rolling your own really always the best choice?
At Etos* , we believe that enjoyment begins with quality. That's why this guide shows you how to roll your perfect joint with the right papers, tools, and techniques —or why pre-rolled cones can be a stylish and practical alternative.
What is a joint anyway?
A joint is a classic form of cannabis consumption. It involves rolling finely ground cannabis flowers into a thin, usually unbleached paper —often with a filter (tip) at the end.
The goal: an evenly burning, pleasantly drawn joint that brings out the flavor of your cannabis to its fullest.
The 4 basic tips for the perfect joint

Rolling a perfect joint is a blend of technique, patience, and feeling. With these four basics, you'll achieve the perfect result – stylish and clean.
1. Choose high-quality paper
The first step to a good joint starts with the right paper .
Not all paper is the same – differences in material, burning behavior and taste can change the entire experience.
Our Etos* papers are made exclusively from natural ingredients and guarantee even burning, a clear taste and a conscious experience.
💡 Tip: We've tested which papers are best for clean rolling and even burning - and added them to our range.
2. Grind the cannabis evenly
A consistent grind is key. Too coarse, and the joint will burn unevenly. Too fine, and it will barely draw.
A high-quality grinder ensures the perfect consistency. It distributes the buds optimally, so your joint burns evenly and no valuable material is wasted.

3. Use a filter (Tip)
A small but crucial step. The filter gives your joint stability, ensures a smooth draw, and prevents small particles from entering your mouth. It also makes rolling easier—especially for beginners.
4. Practice makes the difference
As with all good things in life, practice makes perfect.
Everyone has their own style, their preferred crowd, their own technique.
Take your time, experiment—and enjoy the ritual. With our Etos* papers and accessories, you'll find your ideal setup to celebrate the process as much as the result.
Pre-rolled cones: The easy alternative to rolling your own
Rolling your own cigarettes is an art – but sometimes you just want it to be uncomplicated. Pre-rolled cones are the perfect solution for those who value quality and convenience.
A cone is a pre-rolled paper tube—often with a filter—that you just have to fill. No rolling, no hassle, no frustration.
Here are 4 good reasons why pre-rolled cones are a real alternative:
1. Pure convenience
Cones are pre-rolled—all you have to do is fill them. Perfect for beginners, those on the go, or anyone who wants to save time.
2. Uniform shape & quality
Each cone is machine-rolled, which guarantees even burning and a clean smoking experience.
3. Easy to fill
Filling a cone is simple: Pour in the cannabis, press gently, and you're done. There's nothing like the tedious rolling process – and at Etos* you'll find the right accessories.
4. Less waste
Cones are efficient: no overlapping paper scraps, no uneven burning, no material loss.
