Bongs Not Bombs
December 18th, 2006 by Alex
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
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
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.

|---|---|
| Category | Blunts |
| Company | ZenSmoke |
| Made In | Dominican Republic |
| Pros | Easy to Roll |
| Cons | Everything else |
| Price | $1.00 |
| tFS Rating | 5.0/10 |
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.
Royal Blunts: Purple Haze
December 6th, 2006 by Alex
One of the newest flavors out of the Royal Blunts camp is Purple Haze. It’s hard to find a quality grape-flavored wrap these days, so I was pretty stoked when we got these in.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Blunts |
| Company | Royal Blunts |
| Made In | USA |
| Pros | Quality packaging |
| Cons | Smells like Dimetapp |
| Price | $1.50 |
| tFS Rating | 6.5/10 |
RB describes this wrap as a “grape and fruit blend that enhances any flavor.” Ooook, not sure what that means. Sounds like marketing hype to me. What the blunt actually smells like is Dimetapp, one of the most heinous substances known to man.
It’s an over-powering smell that gives off more of a synthetic grape than anything else. The blunt wrap burned great and had a sweet taste to it and luckily, no Dimetapp-esque flavor was lurking in the shadows.
Purple Haze isn’t the worst blunt wrap I’ve encountered, but it definitely isn’t the best. For a company that puts out so many winners, this one was a miss for me. What do you guys think?
Juicy Jay’s: Candy Cane
November 27th, 2006 by Alex
Well, Thanksgiving is over and that means it’s officially the start of the Christmas season. Why not start with a holiday treat? Say … Juicy Jay’s Candy Cane papers?

|---|---|
| Category | Papers |
| Company | ZenSmoke |
| Made In | Spain |
| Pros | Holiday cheer? |
| Cons | Can have weak glue |
| Price | $2.00 |
| tFS Rating | 6.5/10 |
This obviously isn’t one of Juicy’s big sellers, but it is cool for some holiday cheer. It’s nice to see paper companies mix things up (well, except for Sizzling Bacon flavor) and give its customers some seasonal variety.
Brown Sugar: Strawberry
November 22nd, 2006 by Alex
Sporting a new cover design compared to first generation packaging, Brown Sugar is back. They’ve also released some new (and unsurprisingly common) flavors for our smoking pleasure.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Papers |
| Company | ZenSmoke |
| Made In | Spain |
| Pros | Strong glue |
| Cons | Very common flavor |
| Price | $1.50 |
| tFS Rating | 7.0/10 |
Unfortunately, you can tell the little things have been done that make Golden Wrap leaves stick out from the pack, while the Brown Sugar just kind of blends in with the background. They aren’t as uber-infused with a strawberry essence as other brands.
As more manufacturers enter the game, we’re going to see very similar products. Even ZenSmoke, which has multiple lines underneath its brand name, puts out similar shit compared to other papers in their own product line. The strawberry papers from Brown Sugar are good. They won’t blow your socks off, but won’t disappoint either.
Scrolley Tips
November 20th, 2006 by Alex
There are two camps when it comes to rolling – filtered or un-filtered. Pros and cons surround both, easier to roll for un-filtered versus more effort for filtered. Harsher smoke with un-filtered papers and smoother with filtered. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Filters |
| Company | MN&J |
| Made In | Australia |
| Pros | Good perforation |
| Cons | Could be thicker |
| Price | $2.00 |
| tFS Rating | 7.5/10 |
Sizing on the Scrolley’s is just about perfect. They’re big & tall enough to handle a fatty roll, but can be ripped down for smaller-sized joints/blunts. Each pack comes with 40 strips and are all perforated for easy removal. One thing I would like to see is a filter made specially for spliff smokers; something that reduces the toxins and tar from tobacco but leaves in everything THC-related.
Overall, you can’t go wrong with Scrolley Tips, they do exactly what they’re made for.

aLedinha: Mini Cellulose Rolling Papers
November 20th, 2006 by Alex
To follow up on the review of aLeda King Size Papers, we decided to get a hold of their little brother - aLedinha.
I went pretty in-depth with the last review, so this post will be more light weight with some additional observations. First, the aLedinha’s have the same distinct, embossed packaging just like it’s big brother. It also has those annoying little closing flaps. This pack comes with 50 transparent, cellulose based leaves. The packaging is pretty sturdy and won’t bend if you throw it into your backpack or anything. As far as size, they are equivalent to any 1¼” papers.

|---|---|
| Category | Papers |
| Company | aLeda |
| Made In | Brazil |
| Pros | Odorless, tasteless |
| Cons | Tough low-light roll |
| Price | $2.50 |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
It’s obvious there is a lot of interest in these papers. Maybe people just think transparent stuff is just plain cool, who knows? What’s for sure is these are healthier than your average paper and fun to roll. Not a bad combination at all.
