De hard-shell plastic buis kan later voor veilig bot of gezamenlijk vervoer (en wie het weet, dat kunnen=zou= een sterk verkopend punt zijn aan wat.) worden gebruikt Het blad zelf is verpakt rond een stro met plastic blad tussen de vouwen.
Deze Hoofdbout rookte keurig niettemin. De smaak van de rook was uiterst vlot en verlaat een zoetheid op de mond. Het brandt zelfs bij langzamer dan gemiddelde snelheid, perfect voor een groepszitting.
Globaal, het aanvankelijke verliet unwrapping van de verpakking me lichtjes op verstomd hoe ik met dit droog-zoals-helblad ging rollen. Maar toch ondanks het hebben van wat pech met deze selectie, zou ik niet letten op proberend een andere Hoofdbout.

2 maart, 2007 langs Alex
Na het ontvangen van vele berichten van u kerels om meer de omslagoverzichten van de achter-aan-de-grondbeginselentabak te doen, stortten wij in. Zo stelt I vandaag goede ol voor' De Snoepjes van Swisher: Cigarillo's. Deze uiterst kleine sigaren komen in handig vrij vaak voor me.

De minisigaren komen in een brede waaier van aroma's uit vlakte aan druif aan aardbei. En deze aroma's maken vrij een verschil wanneer lit. Één eind van de cigarillo is zo zwaar op smaak gebracht wanneer het roken het geeft uw knop een nog zoetere smaak. Nochtans, alvorens aan het rokende deel komt te krijgen, eerst netelige. U wilt niet de weinig oppervlakte beschadigen u hebt, verg zo uw tijd. An experienced blunt roller should have no problem rolling one of these within minutes, ready to smoke.
I wasn’t big into Swisher Sweets in the beginning but damn it, they wear on you. They’re great for a one to three person session and they usually hold a decent amount of bud if needed.
True Blunt: Sweet Cherry
February 21st, 2007 by Tim
True Blunts is a brand that we are going to feature more often on tFS. Their line has expanded in recent months, and with the addition of celebrity endorser Warren G, expect them to make a splash. Today, I’m reviewing the Sweet Cherry flavor.

The wrap itself smells very similar to cherries. This is by far its strongest asset. Everything else kind of drops off afterwards. The wrap taste and texture is solid, but not amazing. There’s no flavor added and no scents added to your smoke. These wraps to burn at a nice pace and the smoke had a definite smoothness to it.
Juicy Blunts: Tropical Passion
February 13th, 2007 by Alex
It might be the completely wrong time of the year to think about tropical breezes and island-grown fruit, but something’s got to brighten up the day of all our New York readers.
Today, I’m reviewing Juicy Blunts Tropical Passion flavored blunt wrap.

| Pros | Consistent leaf quality |
| Cons | Nothing done well |
| Price | $1.00 |
| tFS Rating | 6.5/10 |
The aroma for this wrap was extremely hard to pinpoint. After a lot of debate, it was decided that tropical passion really means sweet cantaloupe. Still, it almost seems that Juicy threw too many scents into this batch and ended up with a very indistinct overall impression.
Tropical Passion provides no leaf taste, smoke taste or smoke aroma. There are quite a few other JB wraps that come to mind before I would recommend this one.
If you’re going to do an exotically-themed blunt wrap, get it right, because the market is already full of them. It’s like bringing a Mustang to a parking lot full of Ferraris… you won’t stand out.
SmokeClear: King Size
February 9th, 2007 by Alex
The cellulose paper industry is starting to take off. Not only are they healthier for you, but everyone is still in love with the novelty of see-thru papers. Today, we’re starting off with a review of SmokeClear King Size papers.

| Made In | Brazil |
| Pros | Perfect burn time |
| Cons | Hard to find |
| Price | $3.00 |
| tFS Rating | 8.5/10 |
Packaging on these appears to be higher quality than aLeda’s. The tabs fit together correctly, for a tight seal that won’t unlock in your backpack. They should be stored in a cool, dry place should you want to leave them for a while.
The leaves themselves are 95% transparent and carry the other traits of cellulose papers - odorless, tasteless and low-key design. Each pack comes with 40 papers that measure 3.5×11 centimeters. If you’re unsure of how plant cellulose feels, imagine a very thin & light plastic film.
The first thing you notice when rolling with the king size is that these suckers are strong. Seriously strong. Each film even passed the dreaded karate chop test, which tells you these things are built to last. When smoked, the performed exactly as advertised with absolutely no taste or odor.
These papers allow you to focus on what’s being smoked, with no interference along the way. When a product delivers exactly what it promises in the first place, you have no choice but to be satisfied. These are the best transparent, cellulose papers that I’ve encountered so far.
Hello Neighbor: Vanilla Nut
February 1st, 2007 by Tim
Back in college, I lived in a dorm and had a tough time smoking in my room without everyone on my floor catching wind. I’d try different things like standing near my window or taking a laundry sheet, stuffing in a toilet paper roll and exhaling out of that. Too bad none of those tricks worked. So every time I wanted to smoke, I’d have to go to the car and hotbox or leave school grounds (which was a bitch.)

| Company | Hello Neighbor |
| Made In | N/A |
| Pros | Tastes decent |
| Cons | Doesn’t work well |
| Price | $7.00 |
| tFS Rating | 2.5/10 |
This chapstick-sized device has a pink tip on its end. In standard conditions, the Hello Neighbor works decently. It dissipates the strong scents of tobacco and marijuana as you exhale but doesn’t get rid of the odors completely. At first, the vanilla nut smell is there but it fades very quickly and is non-existent for the majority of the odor neutralizer’s life.
I think it’s funny that a product like this even exists when there’s not one, but two sources of smoke and odor that need to be successfully removed. Sure, its aim is the smoke you exhale, but what about the smoke rising from your blunt or cherry in the bowl? This basically defeats any purpose the Hello Neighbor serves in the first place.
Overall, this product is pointless, whatever you’re smoking will give off a scent or smell. If you really need to be that low key, just go for a walk and take some of the stress out from smoking. Just don’t count on this thing to be stealthy.
Kingpin: Chocolate Mint
January 30th, 2007 by Tim
Many blunt manufacturers use straws, plastic wrap, sealed packaging or any combination of the three to keep fresh and safe guard their wraps. Still, there’s no protection in your pocket or if you accidentally sit on them.
The blunt wrap that’s taken packaging to another level is the Kingpin Premium Blunt. Today I’m reviewing the Chocolate Mint flavor.

| Company | ZenSmoke |
| Made In | Philippines |
| Pros | Burn very smooth |
| Cons | No taste added |
| Price | $1.50 |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
The leaf itself is wrapped around a straw with plastic wrap between the folds. Packaging just doesn’t get more solid than this.
Kingpins smoke much better than I expected. At first, I thought this was an unwrapped Cyclone, but I was 100% wrong. The chocolate mint smell is definitely present on the wrap. There is also a strong tobacco odor from the leaf itself, which makes the mint more subdued than it normally would be.
The rolling process was extremely easy as Zensmoke built in a tapered (thinner) edge to the wraps. Once lit, these things go down smooth. Very smooth. There isn’t any flavor added to the smoke or much of an aroma given off, but that’s Ok. The best part about Kingpins is their slow, even burn.
I was impressed by this wrap and look forward to reviewing more.
Wagner Heat Gun is NOT a Vaporizer
January 30th, 2007 by Alex
Every once in a while you’ll come across a deal that seems almost too good to be true. As the saying goes, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Wiser words have rarely been spoken and they get reinforced daily through lessons learned the hard way. Our product that seems too good to be true is the Wagner HT 400 Heat Gun.
Now, your first question is probably, “Why the hell is theFreshScent reviewing a heat gun?” The answer is simple, because some shady headshops are trying to pass off these Home Depot glue warmers as ‘vaporizer lighters.’
They’ll look you straight in the eye and say that this gun is perfect for use with your pipe or bong and will make the smoking experience much healthier. In a word - wrong.

| Pros | None |
| Cons | Doesn’t work |
| Price | $60.00 |
| tFS Rating | 1.0/10 |
So, other than the temperature being wrong and the air pushed out of the HT 400 preventing it from working, is it at least cheap? No (again). Well, maybe if you buy it for the actual retail price of $33 from a Home Depot or Lowe’s. Instead, certain headshops are trying to sell this heat gun for $60 a pop - nearly doubling the price of the item. Strike three.
This is by far and away the worst product tFS has ever reviewed. So bad, we had to give it a 1.0 out of 10 rating. The only way it could score worse than that is if a staff member was injured while trying to review the damn thing.
As a vaporizer lighter the HT 400 doesn’t work, it’s expensive and it just plain sucks. It’s designed for construction and arts & crafts oriented work, which it excels at.
If you ever see one of these things at your local headshop, be aware that they’re willing and able to rip you off without a second thought.
