Blunt Wrap: Gin & Juice
December 21st, 2006 by Alex
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.

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.
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.

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.

| 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 Blunts: Mango Papaya
November 14th, 2006 by Alex
It’s been too long since a product review has dropped, so let’s get’r done. Juicy Blunts is throwing a twist into things with their Mango Papaya blunt wrap.
Following the trend of their latest releases, the packaging is eye catching and each contains 1 leaf. The tapered edge makes rolling the blunt smooth and easy. Leaf smell is great, Juicy did a good job combining the smells. The mango slightly over powers the papaya, but you can tell both aromas are present. The wrap burned smooth even if there wasn’t any taste added to the smoke. Also, a slight mango aroma was given off by the blunt while it burned.
Overall, this is a very solid blunt that just needs a little more personality to take it to the top.
Price: $1.50
tFS Rating: 7.0/10Royal Blunts: Passion Fruit
November 1st, 2006 by Alex
Royal Blunts delivers some of the best flavors on the market. Just like other major players, their line-up is heavily filled with fruit based flavors - Mango, Peach, Strawberry and more. Passion Fruit is in the same category, and delivers like RB knows how.
First point, the wrap wasn’t dry, which is the only real drawback from Royal. If you spot any package designs with the see-through square be warned there’s a high chance it’s gonna be brittle as hell.
The smell is good on this wrap, not pinpoint accurate, but close enough to work. This wrap hits the usual notes after that - good to smoke, doesn’t add much flavor but the burned smoke does leave a good aroma. Royal Blunts has put together a solid product but it’s nothing that sticks out from the crowd.

October 30th, 2006 by Alex
Dipping into Juicy Blunt’s newest line of flavors, Peach Cognac is a wrap that promises the whole package. It’s always a pleasure to roll JB’s because the high leaf quality and tapered edge (for good adhesion) are a constant.
First thing you notice is the smell and how it’s pinpoint accurate. Juicy is starting to get damn good at recreating almost any aroma. I guess practice makes perfect.
This wrap doesn’t add any flavor to your smoke but does fill the air with a deep peach smell. It also smokes smooth and burns even. Overall, this blunt is solid and worth trying out.
Price: $1.50 tFS Rating: 7.0/10Blunt Wrap: Blueberry Burst
September 14th, 2006 by Tim
As usual, Blunt Wrap delivers on leaf quality - serrated edges and perfect moistness. Right when opening the blunt you get an intense serving of blueberry. During the roll, you’ll notice it’s more of a confused blueberry scent. Blunt Wrap have mixed something in there that’s hard to identify. Unfortunately, the smoke added no smell or taste, but the leaf itself had a sugary coating on it.
Overall, I liked this wrap. Not too much on the flavor but a solid buy nonetheless.
Juicy Blunts: Sweet n’ Natural
September 11th, 2006 by Alex
The wrap itself smells exactly as advertised - a heavy tobacco aroma with a nice dose of sweetness. The blunt tastes semi-sweet and doesn’t add much of a taste to your smoke. This is fine though, because with a name like Sweet N’ Natural, I’d expect nothing less.
Juicy Blunts delivered on this one. It’s a nice change of pace to smoke something that isn’t imitating some tropical fruit or a mixed drink concoction.
