Problem: Article: Lay a single paper out on a flat surface. Use your fingers or a spoon to evenly spread the herbs over the center of the paper. For a smaller cigarette, use about 0.025 ounces (0.7 grams) of herbs; for a larger cigarette, use about 0.04 ounces (1.1 grams). If you are using a cigarette roller instead of rolling by hand, pack your herbs into the filling tray. Either pick up the paper or keep it on the flat surface, holding or maneuvering it with your index fingers and thumbs. Gently fold it lengthwise at the one-third mark so all the herbs roll into an even line. Roll the shorter side of the paper up and over the herbs so that the paper envelops them. Pack the herbs into a tight roll and tuck the edge of the paper under the herbs. Roll up the rest of the paper, leaving a small lip at the end. 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. Dampen the lip of the paper that you left exposed to make it sticky. Seal the paper and let it dry out for a couple minutes. For reusable and disposable filters that aren't rolled into the cigarette, insert the cigarette into the filter. Otherwise, the filter should already be rolled into the cigarette.
Summary: Lay out the herbs on the rolling paper. Roll your cigarette. Seal the cigarette. Add the filter.
