What Is a Hash Hole Joint?
Quick answer: A hash hole is a joint with a thin rope of hash or rosin running through its center, packed in with flower. As the joint burns, the concentrate burns slowly down the middle. Some people call it a donut, after the ring you see on the lit end.
Why do people roll hash holes?
- A slower burn. The concentrate sits in the core instead of being mixed in, so it burns more evenly.
- A stronger joint. Adding concentrate makes the joint more potent than flower alone. Go easy if you're new to it.
- The look. The ring at the cherry is a big part of the appeal.
Hash or rosin: which one?
Both work. What matters is that the concentrate holds a shape.
| Rosin | Pressed hash | |
|---|---|---|
| Shaping | Rolls into a rope easily, especially when slightly warm | Breaks if too dry, shapes if pressed |
| Burn | Can melt and run if the rope is too thick | Burns steadily |
| Common use | The usual choice for hash holes | Traditional, and works well |
Very oily or runny concentrates are hard to keep in place and tend to leak through the paper.
What size joint is a hash hole?
Hash holes are usually bigger than an everyday joint, often king size or a cone, so there's enough flower around the core. A thin joint doesn't leave room for the rope. How much concentrate to use is covered in how much hash for a hash hole.
Do you need a special tip?
No. Glass and wood tips are popular for hash holes, but a disposable tip works if it's wide enough. A 12mm tip fits the bigger rolls. Keep the concentrate stopped short of the tip so it doesn't melt toward your mouth. The full method is in how to roll a hash hole with a paper tip, and tip widths are in the filter tip size guide.
