Except all I have is cigarettes (djarum blacks) and weed, no papers. Is there a good way to do this or does the paper burn too quickly?
if you haven't figured out what to do yet, yeah, you can tear off the filter but a much better idea is to remove the filter. the paper around it is stronger than the rest of the paper used. use a pair of tweezers or something and simply pull out the filter. in the empty space, instert a strip of thin cardboard or thick paper that has been rolled into a spiral. business cards work great for this. it will prevent any bits of weed getting in your mouth, and it will allow for better flow of the smoke. be careful, these work well but burn quickly! hold in for only a couple seconds, and dont stop hitting it till its gone, sore throat or not. these work, but stuffed joints made from cigs always seem to burn faster than hand rolled.
Make sure to baptize it, close your mouth over it and pull it out quickly, just get it a little wet and will burn more slowly. Also try packing it in with a pen, the reason these types of joints seem to burn quickly is because they aren't as tightly packed as a cigarette, and the paper has rings that make it burn quickly. Try mixing some of that delicious clove tobbacco with your chronic, it is quite the flavour sensation.
