Due to the smaller diameter of the joint it is easier to form a good seal at a slight angle thus increasing the velocity at which the air is drawn through also increasing the air to smoke ratio
When the joint gets down to the roach stage, it makes more sense to pinch it with the fingertips. They're much more tough and caloused and have fewer nerves than the "top" of your fingers.. You can get down to a much smaller roach with the pinching method..
And it's mainly Americans doing that now i think of it.
At least Americans have been doing it that way since the 60's, too.
pinched finger and thumb to the lips has been the mime for "smoking a joint" for as long as I've known...
Cheech and Chong use to smoke that way back in the day as well..
Nothing new, I don't think.
I'm thinking a pinched finger and thumb is about as close as your could get your hand to emulating a roach clip... which is the entire point of the exercise, right? Two "tools" to the same end.
and also if you are passing it back and forth a joint will get fucked up pretty quick once its shorter and if someone doesn't "tab" one side of the opening to hold onto
Cigarettes smoked before filters were smoked that way also. Prime reason as there is no filter it burns to the end and you would burn your fingers smoking it like modern cigarettes.
This is based on cigarette knowledge as my dad used to roll his own not weed.

thats why I hold it that way, the finger tip calouses can be as tough as leather, so one does not feel the burn as much.
If I was to smoke one, I'd hold it like a cig until it got down smaller, then I'd pinch it like that. Less of my finger on the J, less of my finger to burn... you know, If I was to smoke one.
its for passing, holding a joint "cigarette way" is not really how you can pass it in a circle.
but I know plenty of people (including myself) that when you sit back and are in your home or in your backyard smoking ajoint by yourself, you smoke it like a cigarette.
you hold it like that to pass really, nothing more.
however, when it burns down, you HAVE to hold it like a pinch or youll get burned
i think it has something to do with americans not rolling a tip in their joints unlike we do around here... plus do they even roll joints with tobacco there? because the US joints in movies etc always look like the on in the pic, very very thin

Never known anyone hear who rolled tobacco in the J.

first time I smoked with someone from the other side of the ocean, they pulled out like 3 papaers, mixed tobacco with it, and made this really big joint out of california chronic and tobacco. Looks like a chinese yoyo, slim at one end, really fat at the other - said this is how "we do it back home" I said alright, lets do it.
i didnt like the tobacco in it, so I busted out the bong afterwards, but out of respect, I smoked it with him and learned that people from other places do things differently. Then I shoed how we do it in cali with iced down bongs and purple weed.
When you smoke a big join, you can smoke it like a cig... but a small one like that ? It's kinda hard not to break it lol

Europeans like to roll their weed with cigarette tobacco.....They also like to mix coke in them.
Americans don't put tabacco in ?
Canadians do.
and mixing coke with weed... pretty much every coke addict that smokes it does that.

I would never put anything in my joint but weed, why weakin it with tobacco.
When the joint gets down to the roach stage, it makes more sense to pinch it with the fingertips. They're much more tough and caloused and have fewer nerves than the "top" of your fingers.. You can get down to a much smaller roach with the pinching method..
