Since Germany's legalisation, I started rolling joints myself instead of making my SO do all the work lol

Nice work. Good use of the roach. When I roll it takes me about 10-20 minutes and while that's a long time for some, I just prefer my joints to have a more packed feeling. My advice is to get a set of "tools" or just one, which will act as a poker and a tamper to pack your leaves down in the tube before you seal it. Helps avoid the bit of a gap you have at the bottom. You'll notice a better pull on the smoke when you inhale and your joints will burn more evenly/waste less weed. Happy smoking from California.

This is the way. I'm a little bit spoiled and just use preolled cones. But you can still fuck it up. I have real good luck with a 10-12" poking stick, sitting it inside the cone, and then pouring my bud into the funnel. This way the poking stick is preventing the bud from falling until I pull up on it and twist letting only a little bit of bud at a time to fall to the very bottom, tamp down on the bud that fell, and repeat 4-5 times depending on the size of the joint.

Packs it evenly and you don't get that weak spot right after the filter where it never gets packed down.
