Kulu: De Grootte van de koning

29 januari, 2007 langs Alex

###

Ons lood van productoverzicht van de week is iets dat heel wat u zich niet van zou kunnen bewust zijn - De Grootte van de Koning van Kulu. Hoewel deze fabrikant eigenlijk een verscheidenheid van documenten uitvaardigt, worden zij niet opgeslagen in vele lokale headshops.

Categorie Documenten > de Grootte van de Koning
Bedrijf Kulu
Binnen gemaakt Europese Unie
Pros De goede grootte, brandt langzaam
Cons. Te vinden Tough
Prijs $2.00
tFS Classificatie 8.5/10

Het eerste ding u over Kulu opmerkt is de breedte. Elk blad is aanzienlijk en merkbaar breder dan regelmatigste koning gerangschikte merken. Het pak zelf bevat 28 bladeren die van zuiver rijstdocument worden gemaakt. Een ander goed aspect is dat de bladeren allen natuurlijk gegomd zijn, zodat gaat geen synthetische lijm uw longen in.

Aanvankelijk, geloofde ik dit om regelmatige `te zijngeen geur & geen smaak`stijl van koningsgrootte. Dit houdt na u waar geen geur de documenten. Het is moeilijk te beschrijven, maar scent is iets u op wasserijverfrissing of gelijkaardig iets zou veronderstellen - denk de Wind van de Lente.

De documenten zelf grote rook. Zij zijn het langzame branden en groot genoeg om vette samen te houden. Het aroma wordt niet toegevoegd aan de rook, maar het verspreide aroma is verser dan normaal. De rijstdocumenten zijn enkel de juiste dikte en komen in reliëf gemaakt met een interessante druk van horseman.

Voor zover de documenten van de koningsgrootte gaan, is Kulu hoogste inkeping. Ik zou hen juist daar met Rokend merk als tot dusver het best herzien opzetten.

De Bom van DA stompt af: Builen Bosbes

De Bom van DA stompt af: Builen Bosbes

Ik weet iedereen mist ziend Nate Dogg en zijn oranje hoed, zodat is het tijd om een andere botte omslag van te herzien De Bom van DA stompt af. Vandaag, concentreer ik me op hun Builen Bosbes aroma.

Bedrijf De Bom van DA
Binnen gemaakt Dominicaanse Republiek
Pros Lichte bosbessengeur
Cons. Vouw in de omslag
Prijs $1.50
tFS Classificatie 8.0/10

Het beste aspect over om het even wat gemaakt door de Bom van DA is hun verpakking. Één van het meest verenigbaar bij het handhaven van botte versheid, de verzegelde buis & vorm-houdende stromethode is taai om te slaan.

De omslaggeuren zoals licht, de zomerbosbessen. Het is aardig om een greep van iets met nauwkeurige scent in plaats van een zeer synthetische het ruiken reproductie te grijpen. Er zijn geen speciale eigenschappen die aan bot worden toegevoegd die in het rollen van - een verminderd eind, getande randen - niets van dat zou kunnen helpen. What they do have is a quality leaf that burns slow and smooth.

Surprisingly, when lit, this blunt gives off a strawberry like aroma. It doesn’t necessarily taste like blueberries but still makes the whole smoking experience a good one. There are plenty of ways to go wrong with a blunt wrap but Da Bomb Blueberry is a more than solid choice.

Juicy Jay’s: Orange

Juicy Jay's: Orange

Juicy Jay’s is a heavy hitter in the papers industry, so you know their offerings are going to cover the basic flavors: strawberry, blueberry, and (of course) orange.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Category Papers
Company ZenSmoke
Made In Spain
Pros Smokes well, better glue
Cons No real taste or smell
Price $2.49
tFS Rating 7.0/10

I tried Juicy Jay’s Orange papers and they’re exactly what you’d expect. The papers themselves have oranges embossed on each leaf and they smelled like a washed-out citrus ’scratch and sniff’ sticker.

The glue has a sweet taste and bonds very well to lock in the air tight seal. Each pack is regular Juicy’s style, sized at 1¼” and holds 32 leaves.

Per usual, the smoke’s smell is as unidentifiable as the taste. Nothing really jumps out, it’s your typical Juicy Jay’s offering. Being as big as they are, I’d like to think they’d have the potential to excel in this department but these papers fall slightly short with this basic fruit flavor.


Cyclones: Honey

It’s Monday morning, so let’s start this week the right way with a blunt wrap review. I didn’t want to kick us off with a normal-style blunt, but instead something a little different - Cyclones.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Category Blunts
Company Zensmoke
Made In Philippines
Pros Pre-rolled
Cons No flavor, bad taste
Price $1.00
tFS Rating 3.0/10

Cyclones are cone shaped, pre-rolled blunt wraps. They’re protected by a patent pending design that allows for a quick fill and easy smoke. Today’s review flavor is Honey but ZenSmoke also makes Peach, Sour Apple, Fruit Punch, Strawberry-Kiwi, Blueberry, Natural, Mango and White Chocolate. Developing this many flavors shows a significant investment on the manufacturers part.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s move on to the details. First, they are extremely convenient and easy to roll. As long as you have a grinder ready, these take less than 2 minutes to pack nicely and take out the door. Other than usability, the honey smell is relatively on point, but that’s where the good features end.

Complete patent pending Cyclones schematic.

The most important aspect of these wraps is that they don’t taste like honey. They taste more synthetic than anything I’ve encountered in a long time. What’s worse is they eventually start tasting bad. Almost like there’s some sort of acidic film in your mouth and on your lips. This has to improve in future versions.

Cyclones wraps also add a level of harshness to your smoke. The treatment and texture of the leaf itself is considerably different than that of Juicy Jay’s, Blunt Wrap or Da Bomb Blunts. This is due to the fact the leaves need to be hardened and dried so they maintain their cone shape.

There are going to be some people out there who don’t agree with this, but Cyclones Honey are one of the worst blunts we’ve tested so far. Being convenient is a positive, but not at the price it costs. I hope other flavors bring more to the table for the next pre-rolled blunt review.

Blunt Wrap: Gin & Juice

December 21st, 2006 by Alex

Blunt Wraps: Gin and Juice

For some reason, alcohol-flavored blunts seem to be popular with manufacturers these days. Blunt Wrap has thrown their own version into the mix with their Platinum Gin & Juice flavored wrap.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Category Blunts
Company Blunt Wrap
Made In Domincan Republic
Pros Good packaging
Cons Low on flavor
Price $1.50
tFS Rating 6.0/10

Made in the cigar-rolling region of the Dominican Republic, Blunt Wrap materials are always quality. Unfortunately, that doesn’t necessarily flow over to the taste and/or smell. BW’s ‘hot-foil’ sealing technique made the blunt perfectly moist and and the serrated edges are easy to roll with. The original leaf smell is almost impossible to pinpoint. I can tell you it doesn’t smell like Gin, Juice or Gin & Juice.

The wrap smokes fine. No surprises really - it burned evenly and the smoke wasn’t harsh. The blunt didn’t give off any distinct taste or aromas while burning. Overall, this one falls short. Gin & Juice is a tough flavor to replicate and the technique definitely hasn’t been mastered yet.

Bongs Not Bombs

Look out below!

Here’s a cool piece of apparel for the ladies. Printed on American Apparel stock, some might call this hippie gear. I call it awesome.

Looks like it might be an old design, but you can still get the shirt in size medium. Hopefully, a re-print will happen soon enough.


Marijuana “Street Terms” Poster

December 8th, 2006 by Tim

Posterize

LA Pop Art is selling an exclusive marijuana leaf poster created by using the official U.S. Government list of 647 marijuana “street terms”.

As described by LA Pop Art:

So you think you have heard every name out there for Marijuana?? Some are funny, some creative and some are out there - but what people dont know is that the United States Government keeps an official list of all these names. And surprisingly enough over the years, this official list has grown to a shocking 647 official “street terms” for Marijuana.

Upon discovering this list, we here at LA Pop Art felt that we had a “responsibility” to you - our customers - to turn this list into a big ass Marijuana leaf. Enjoy!!

The poster is currently offered at 24″ x 30″ with a $13.99 price tag. Not a bad investment if you commonly find yourself staring at blank walls and going crazy with eye-bleeding boredom.

A novelty item like this will definitely jazz up some of that bleakness. Plus, if you have parents, it’s an educational tool. Right?

Juicy Blunts: Pear

December 8th, 2006 by Alex

Juicy Blunts: Pear

Earlier this week, tFS handed out a 6.5/10 blunt rating - our lowest yet. Well, that record isn’t going to stand for long because a new crown holder has shown up.

theFreshScent Product Recap
Category Blunts
Company ZenSmoke
Made In Dominican Republic
Pros Easy to Roll
Cons Everything else
Price $1.00
tFS Rating 5.0/10

Juicy Blunts released a Pear flavored blunt in their latest flavor pack. We covered almost all the flavors in previous reviews and were generally impressed by them. Too bad Pear doesn’t fit in with its brothers. On the positive side, the wraps characteristics make this review extremely easy to do.

The wrap smell? Nothing like pear, completely synthetic. The wrap taste? None. Taste of the smoke? None. Smell of the smoke? Nothing like pear. That’s about as bad a job as you can do on a high-end, flavored wrap. Juicy is almost always pinpoint with their aromas, but need to seriously go back to the drawing board on this one.

To get a 5.0/10 rating there needs to be absolutely no resemblance to the flavor on the packaging. If you think about it, that’s pretty damn hard to do. The only positive I can say is that atleast the leaf didn’t taste bad, it just didn’t taste anything like a pear.

Hopefully, our next review has a much more positive tone.
