If you find hand rolling cigarettes difficult, consider a cigarette roller that helps you shape and pack the herbs. You can use this in conjunction with pre-rolled cigarette tubes,[6] X Research source which come in many varieties, including filtered, without filters, and even mentholated.
For faster drying, spread the herbs out in a single layer on a cookie sheet, set your oven to the lowest temperature, and dry the herbs in the oven. Keep a close eye on them. You can also use a dehydrator to prepare your herbs. When your herbs are dry, remove any stems, roots, or small twigs that could poke holes in your paper. [7] X Research source

Use a pestle and mortar if you don’t have a grinder or coffee grinder.
To prevent mold growth, only add moisture to the portion of herb blend that you are rolling immediately. If you’ve made a larger batch, separate and moisten what you need for immediate use and store the rest in an airtight container.
If you are using a cigarette roller instead of rolling by hand, pack your herbs into the filling tray.
For the cigarette roller, insert the empty tube and fill it with the packed herbs to create your cigarette. If you are using a disposable filter that gets rolled into the cigarette, make room for it at one end and roll it up with the cigarette.
