Wide Receiver Catches Weed Misdemeanor

Pittsburgh Steelers’ star receiver, Santonio Holmes, was arraigned Tuesday for possessing three blunts that he offered as evidence to officers during a traffic stop last October.

Apparently, the Pittsburgh police officers were looking for ‘real criminals’ when they came upon Holmes’ car. Unfortunately, the NFL star matched police’s description of a suspicious-looking “large black man driving a fancy car.” In the surprise of the century, Holmes’ lawyer is challenging the constitutionality of the traffic stop.

Holmes, who was last year’s Superbowl MVP, said that he “learned a lot” from his one game suspension following the weed arrest. One thing he’s sure to have learned is that ‘driving while black’ is still a crime in some parts of the country.

Juicy Blunts: Bluntzilla

Sometimes you walk into a headshop and one product sticks out from the rest. It doesn’t happen all the time but Bluntzilla, by Juicy Blunts, pulled it off.

As far as definable traits are concerned, that about covers it. The smoking experience doesn’t give off anything unique. No taste added to your blunt and no aroma emitted. Too bad, because I was expecting really good things from something with such a bold name.

Even though there isn’t as much personality as expected, the smoking experience wasn’t unpleasant. This wrap still brings the high quality Juicy Blunts manufacturing process – even burn and no runs.

This wrap won’t cause panic in a large Japanese city, but it will set you well on your way to personal devastation.

Dutch Masters: Corona Deluxe

The classic Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe is and will be forever a favorite of mine. This cigar has all the major elements required to make a great blunt.

Second, the outer leaf can be easily taken off when lightly moistened and used for the final preparation of the blunt. This comes in handy for beginner blunt rollers who don’t have the control with just one leaf. Make sure to keep it moist!

The inner leaf is big enough to roll up any size blunt that may be needed. You can chop it down for a mini or leave it full size for a serious session. And to top it, off just wrap up the inner leaf with the outer leaf for a nice tight blunt.

Last but not least, these cigars burn at the perfect speed. Not too fast and not too slow. However, I have had some difficulty with these blunts canoing every now and then. Luckily, this can be fixed with some saliva near the burning edge.

I have always enjoyed a nice Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe and with all the flavors out now, you can easily find one that fits your taste! And for all you beginner rollers, a Dutchie is a great way to perfect your skills.

Swisher Sweets: Cigarillos

After receiving many messages from you guys to do more back-to-the-basics tobacco wrap reviews, we caved in. So today I present the good ol’ Swisher Sweets: Cigarillos. These tiny cigars come in handy quite often for me. I enjoy the taste, smell, and you don’t have to use all your bud filling them.

The mini cigars come in a wide range of flavors from plain to grape to strawberry. And these flavors make quite a difference when lit. One end of the cigarillo is heavily flavored so when smoking it gives your bud an even sweeter taste. However, before getting to the smoking part, first comes the tricky one. You don’t want to damage the little surface area you have, so take your time. 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

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

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.

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.

Kingpin: Chocolate Mint

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.

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.

Da Bomb Blunts: Bubonic Blueberry

I know everyone misses seeing Nate Dogg and his orange hat, so it’s time to review another blunt wrap from Da Bomb Blunts. Today, I’m focusing on their Bubonic Blueberry flavor.

The wrap smells like light, summer blueberries. It’s nice to grab a hold of something with an accurate scent instead of a very synthetic smelling reproduction. There’s no special features added to the blunt that might aid in rolling – a tapered end, serrated edges – none of that. 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.
