Our Review:

Hey, I admit it...I can't roll a joint worth a shit. Most of the joints I roll are so loose that you have to smoke it lying down or the shit will fall out. I know that being able to roll a good tight joint is like some right-of-passage to most potheads. But rolling takes a knack that you either have or you don't...and I'm certain I don't have it. So what's a bruver to do?

Well, if you're cylindrically-challenged like me, Rollmate can probably help those who tend to waste good rolling papers creating abominations that fall apart and spill precious herb on the carpet.

The Rollmate is an inexpensive, simple device which helps you form a rather large, but perfect joint, then fill it and pack it with herb. It has no moving parts and you can keep it handy on your key ring. Why didn't I think of this thing?

Our Rollmate arrived in a plain, discreetly addressed envelope. Again, as I always stress, this is something that's very important and shows some consideration from the company. Nobody needs to know what's in your packages but you.

Using the Rollmate was a pretty straightforward process. To roll a nice joint, you simply place your rolling paper (included) around the aluminum "cone", wet the edge and close it tight. Then you remove the "cone" and slide in a paper "tip" (included) in the end. Pack your freshly formed joint with herbs or tobacco using the Rollmate to help you compact it, give the end a twist or two and you've got a complete spliff.

The trickiest part of the whole operation is "rolling" and placing the paper "tip" inside the joint. The "tip" is a actually a small, stiff piece of paper which you roll around the end of the Rollmate and then place into the small tapered end of your open joint. Once you get the hang of this after a few tries, the rest is a snap and you'll be rolling nice tight joints one after the other.

The Rollmate Standard comes in two colors, "Silver" and "Gold" and includes rolling papers and tips and costs $5.75 USD plus $4.00 flat shipping on all orders. So for under 10 bucks, you've got a solid, reliable joint rolling alternative.

They offer another model called "The Dutch Big One". It operates the same as the Standard model, but it rolls even bigger joints. And when I say bigger joints...let me tell ya, I'm talking about humongous 18cm joints. You could club someone to death with one of these things. The Dutch Big One Construction Kit costs $7.75 USD. But you better have a pound or two on hand to fill up this bad boy.

Overall, we liked the Rollmate a lot and would suggest this product to anyone looking for an easy way to roll joints. It's very simple to operate and produces a nice tight joint. Since it doesn't have any moving parts and is made from aluminum, it should provide years of use. 

The only real drawback to the Rollmate Standard is the size of the joints this thing produces. A little over 4" long and as fat as your ring finger at it's widest point. Not that I'm scared of it or nuthin' (*shiat...) it's just that it takes a considerable amount of herb to roll shit this size. Now, if you've got plenty of herb on hand or some homies are pitching in at a party... then I say go for it. But if your stash is a little light, you might want to consider mixing it with some herbal smoke or tobacco. 

As for The Dutch Big One...well this thing is a monster and looks like a lot of fun to smoke, but you better have plenty of herbs to fill this joker up with. 

Lastly, you will need to buy big replacement papers for your Rollmate and also replacement paper "tips". You can easily get the papers locally, but you'll need to reorder the tips from Rollmate or you can probably make your own paper tips easy enough.

Overall, we give the Rollmate a solid 4 Bongs Up.
