[3] The original blunt cigar was manufactured in Philadelphia out of a single leaf outer tobacco wrapper.
Since this cigar was rolled in one leaf the end would taper and had a round appearance (thus leading to the Blunt name).
The basic shape of a blunt remained unchanged although the burn characteristics of a spiral wrapped cigar is not the same as a single continuous leaf.
These are tobacco leaves that because of their nature and appearance are used to roll a cigar in one continuous sheet[8][9] (thus the name blunt is used).
[10] Many US states classify blunt wraps as tobacco and a license is required to sell them and collect tax.
