Cannagars, or cannabis cigars, have emerged as a premium consumption method for cannabis enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated and prolonged smoking experience. Crafted entirely from cannabis plant materials—flower, concentrates, and fan leaves—these handcrafted products offer a slow-burning, potent alternative to traditional consumption methods.
What is a Cannagar?
A cannagar is a meticulously crafted cannabis cigar that contains no tobacco. It is made by compressing high-quality cannabis flower around a skewer to create a dense core, which is then wrapped in cannabis fan leaves. This construction results in a slow-burning, full-flavored product that can last for hours. Some cannagars are enhanced with cannabis concentrates and rolled in kief to increase potency and flavor. This method is reminiscent of the traditional Thai Stick, a form of cannabis consumption that gained popularity in the 1970s.
Cannagars vs. Traditional Cigars
While both cannagars and traditional cigars share a similar appearance and are designed for extended smoking sessions, they differ fundamentally in composition and experience:
- Composition: Traditional cigars are made from tobacco leaves and contain nicotine, whereas cannagars are composed entirely of cannabis, offering a nicotine-free experience.
- Aroma and Flavor: Cannagars provide the rich, diverse flavors and aromas of cannabis strains, differing from the tobacco notes of cigars.
- Cultural Significance: Cuban cigars are renowned for their quality and are highly sought after by aficionados. Similarly, premium cannagars have become coveted items among cannabis connoisseurs, symbolizing luxury and craftsmanship.
