Hash Holes: The Potent Pre-Roll Donut of Delight

Are you familiar with hash holes? Sometimes called donuts in the U.S. and Terps Donuts in Europe, these potent joints have become popular in the cannabis community. The term “hash holes” or “donut joints” refers to the hole in the center of the joint that resembles a donut when burned. They are filled with extracts, commonly rosin, providing a flavorsome and potent smoking experience. Let’s delve into this trend and explore them further.

Who invented the hash hole joint?

Lorenzo Dale, the visionary behind Terps Army coffeeshop in Amsterdam, introduced the Terps Donut in 2017. In a recent interview, he revealed his initial vision was to focus on super small batches, emphasizing the importance of a fundamental craft approach. He continues to explain that what started with just around ten donuts for each strain and rosin, quickly evolved into a global phenomenon captivating cannabis connoisseurs worldwide.

This hand-rolled joint is crafted using the finest, high-quality solventless extracts and cannabis, resulting in a product that has redefined the art of smoking. When asked about the significance of the donut joint, Lorenzo passionately expressed, “For me, there is nothing better to smoke than a donut joint. It’s perfect for sharing among friends, as it burns slowly and provides a potent and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.”

After an unforgettable smoking session with Lorenzo at Spannabis, Shant “Fidel” Damirdjian was inspired to introduce the concept of cannabis-infused donuts to the U.S. market. Branded as “Hash Holes,” these joints are filled with top-shelf rosin and cannabis. The American cannabis community’s response has been overwhelming, and the world-renowned Hash Holes & Donuts event held by Fidel’s is one of a series of nationwide gatherings dedicated to hash and rosin.

How to roll a hash hole

Before you start rolling, you should place the rosin in a sealed glass container in the fridge for around 10 to 15 minutes to achieve the right consistency and texture. This cooling process makes the rosin more manageable, allowing you to mold it into a cylinder shape that can be easily inserted into your rolling paper. Once the rosin is adequately chilled, you can prepare the equipment and begin the rolling process.

Equipment:

• Refrigerator
• High-quality cannabis flower (One to three grams)
• Freshly-pressed rosin or bubble hash
• A rolling tray
• Grinder
• Unbleached rolling papers
• Filter tip
• Dab tool

1. Prepare your cannabis
   Begin by grinding approximately one to three grams of cannabis in a grinder to achieve the desired consistency. Adjust the quantity depending on the size of the joint you prefer.
2. Create your filter
   Roll the filter into a small “W” shape and position it at the end of the rolling paper to provide structural support and reduce inhalation of unwanted substances.
3. Empty the grinder
   Follow our guide on how to grind weed if it’s your first time rolling a hash hole. Carefully empty the grinder and use your fingers to distribute the ground cannabis flower across the rolling paper. Ensure that it’s spread evenly to provide a smoother smoking experience.
4. Prepare your hash
   Depending on the amount of cannabis used, take around 0.5 to 1.5 grams of rosin and use your dab tool to create a three to four-inch-long cylinder. The width will depend on your filter.
5. Roll the joint
   Hold the filter between your fingers and gently roll the joint from the tip upwards, tucking in the rolling paper as you roll. Then, moisten the adhesive to seal the joint, and you’re ready to go!

Pro tips for rolling the perfect donut joint

Let’s delve into the art of rolling the perfect donut joint as we explore three expert tips and techniques guaranteed to elevate your donut-making skills to a new level!

• Rolling a joint too tightly can restrict airflow, making drawing smoke from the joint challenging. On the other hand, rolling it too loosely can cause it to burn too quickly and unevenly. If you’re new to rolling, take the time to practice and perfect your technique. Paying attention to the evenness of the burn and the smoothness of the draw can help you refine your rolling technique and enhance your smoking experience.

• If you are passionate about terpenes, it is best to avoid using bleached paper for rolling joints. Bleached papers contain harmful chemicals like dioxins, which can be released when the paper is burned. This poses potential risks to your health. Instead, use unbleached hemp papers to minimize the risk of inhaling these substances and to fully appreciate the terpene profile of both the cannabis flower and concentrate.

• Be careful; if you don’t handle your cannabis rosin correctly, it will be a nightmare to work with! Ensure that your rosin is chilled before handling it. Placing it in the fridge briefly can help prevent it from sticking to everything in sight, making it much easier to work with. Additionally, always disinfect your dab tool with isopropyl alcohol to prevent contamination, and keep cannabis extracts in a cool, dark place to reduce degradation from heat and light.

Best strain pairings for hash holes

Pairing a cannabis strain with rosin involves more than just matching flavors and aromas; it’s about understanding the effects of each component and how they can be combined to enhance the overall experience, known as the “entourage effect.” Terpenes, working in collaboration with cannabinoids, play a significant role in modulating the experience. While this process can be challenging, the results are often worthwhile.

For an uplifting high, consider mixing Sour Diesel with Humboldt Dream rosin. Sour Diesel’s citrusy, fuel-like aroma pairs with Humboldt Dream’s uplifting effects for a euphoric and energizing experience. For a balanced high, try combining California Octane with Blueberry Muffin. California Octane’s uplifting effects blend well with Blueberry Muffin’s relaxing qualities for a well-rounded, enjoyable high that is perfect for unwinding in the evening.
