Phillie Blunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Phillie is a brand of popular, cheap cigars commonly sold at convenience stores and gas stations, as well as specialized smoke shops. It is one of the most popular American-made cigars. Phillie comes in several variations and is currently owned by Altadis Tobacco of Spain. Smokers of Phillies often call them simply "blunts." More recently, this name has become a colloquialism for "marijuana cigar". Undoubtedly, many purchasers of Phillies do not plan to smoke the cigar they buy. Rather, since it is an inexpensive cigar with a tough leaf, it is often emptied and re-rolled with other smoking mixtures, the most common being marijuana. Due to the variety of flavours which Phillies had, a new market for 'blunt wraps', a prepared tobacco leaf paper, similar to rolling papers, were produced.
