The Greatest Hits
Every classic album has liner notes — the behind-the-scenes details that reveal how the sound came together. Jetty’s Greatest Hits blog series follows that tradition, taking you inside the craft of cannabis. Our first installment introduced the lineup itself — Solventless Live Rosin, 100% Live Resin, and High THC Distillate. In this article, we go behind the boards to break down the production values that turn a pre-roll into a classic.
The Craft Behind The Best Infused Pre-Rolls
Like music, not every joint earns a place on repeat. Some fade fast, while others — built with care and detail — stand up as classics. Today’s best infused pre-rolls deliver the same qualities that define a timeless record: precision, consistency, and layers of character worth savoring from the first spark to the last.
But how do you know the difference between a throwaway single and a pre-roll built like a hit? The secret is in the production values. From flower sourcing to infusion methods, rolling techniques to packaging, every detail shapes the final experience.
What Is an Infused Pre-Roll & Why It Matters
At its core, an infused pre-roll starts with premium cannabis flower, rolled and ready to smoke, then elevated with concentrates like live resin, live rosin, or distillate. The infusion boosts potency, enhances flavor, and creates a longer-lasting effect.
Across the market, though, quality varies. Many brands work with trim or shake and low-grade oils. A handful of producers — Jetty included — treat infused pre-rolls as studio-grade productions: whole-bud flower, premium extracts, and clean infusion techniques for a smooth, balanced smoke every time.
The Foundation: Flower as the Raw Tracks
Every great record starts with the right sound; every great pre-roll starts with the right flower.
Legacy farm partnerships are a hallmark of top-tier producers. At Jetty, that means sourcing from Coastal Sun, where sungrown, regenerative practices produce terpene-rich buds with no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Whole-bud flower is the raw track — clean, authentic, and impossible to fake.
“You can't fake quality flower. When you start with clean terpene-rich buds, everything from flavor to burn quality improves. It's the difference between a harsh joint and one you actually enjoy to the very last puff."
Infusion Methods: Behind The Boards
In music, production choices define the sound. In pre-rolls, infusion choices define the smoke.
Some brands coat the outside of joints or rely on quick potency boosts. The better producers take a more integrated approach, blending extracts directly into the flower for consistency and flavor.
Jetty’s cold-infusion method is one such approach: concentrates are frozen, milled, and folded into the flower without heat, preserving delicate terpenes and ensuring smooth, balanced burns.
This level of detail sets apart premium lines like Solventless Live Rosin Pre-Rolls, 100% Live Resin Pre-Rolls, and High THC Distillate Pre-Rolls — crafted to deliver flavor, potency, and a reliable rhythm from spark to ash.
Rolling Techniques That Improve Infused Pre-Roll Burn Quality
In the industry, poor construction is one of the biggest consumer complaints — canoeing, clogging, or harsh burns.
Jetty counters this with Dutch crown rolling for even lighting, cone-shaped design to prevent canoeing, and bird crutch filters for consistent airflow.
Every batch is hand-checked — at least ten joints tested — to ensure no clogs, no uneven burns, just smooth performance from start to finish.
“We smoke at least ten joints from every batch before it leaves the building,” Nate Ferguson explains. “We’re looking for smooth burns, no clogs, no canoeing—just consistent quality every single time.”
Terpenes & Flavor Chemistry: The EQ of Cannabis
THC numbers might grab attention, but flavor and aroma come from terpenes—the plant compounds that give each strain its unique profile.
Science shows the first few puffs of a joint deliver the most terpene-rich flavor, while cannabinoids peak later as the joint burns down. A well-crafted pre-roll balances both, preserving the strain’s character from start to finish.
Poorly made joints—over-dried flower, harsh infusions, or low-quality oil—lose terpenes early and taste burnt halfway through. Premium pre-rolls keep flavor intact by starting with terpene-rich flower, using infusion methods that protect volatile compounds, and ensuring even combustion all the way through.
Packaging: The Album Sleeve That Protects The Record
Even the best pre-roll loses quality if it dries out or gets crushed. Packaging is the unsung hero of cannabis craftsmanship.
Across the industry, airtight tins and glass jars are becoming the gold standard for preserving freshness and structure. Jetty’s packaging follows that model, ensuring joints stay intact and flavorful until you’re ready to spark them. Like a vinyl sleeve or CD case, packaging may seem secondary — until you realize it’s what keeps the art intact.
STUDIO NOTES: GLOSSARY OF PRE-ROLL CRAFT
- Dutch Crown Roll – A folding method at the tip of the joint that creates an even light and smoother burn.
- Bird Crutch – A sturdy filter tip that keeps joints from collapsing or clogging while smoking.
- Canoeing – When a joint burns unevenly on one side, creating wasted flower and harsh smoke.
- Cold Infusion – A method of mixing frozen concentrates into flower to preserve terpenes and ensure even burns.
- Cryoinfusion – Similar to cold infusion but emphasizes freezing to protect delicate cannabinoids and terpenes during processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are infused pre-rolls worth it?
Infused pre-rolls offer more potency and flavor compared to standard pre-rolls. For experienced consumers or those looking for a stronger, full-spectrum experience, they’re worth trying—especially if made with high-quality flower and concentrates.
What is an infused pre-roll?
An infused pre-roll is a ready-to-smoke joint made with cannabis flower plus added concentrates such as live resin, live rosin, or kief. The infusion boosts THC levels, flavor, and overall effects for a more robust experience.
Why might someone choose infused pre-rolls over regular pre-rolls?
Infused pre-rolls combine cannabis flower with concentrated extracts like live resin or rosin, offering higher potency and fuller flavor than regular pre-rolls made with flower alone.
They’re ideal for experienced consumers seeking a stronger, longer-lasting effect, or anyone wanting to enjoy strain-specific flavors and enhanced terpene profiles in a single, convenient joint.
Craft Over Hype
The best infused pre-rolls are those that combine high-quality flower, precise infusion methods, meticulous rolling techniques, and protective packaging to deliver consistent potency and full-spectrum flavor from the first puff to the last.
For consumers who care about how their cannabis is grown, processed, and rolled, Jetty’s infused pre-roll lineup—including Solventless Live Rosin and 100% Live Resin—offers a premium option crafted with intention at every step.
