Zen Smoke has a tendency to go wild and crazy when it comes to blunt flavors, but one wrap from their newest line goes away from this trend. Juicy Blunts Sweet N’ Natural ($1.50) aims to enhance the blunt leaf instead of morph it into something completely foreign.

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.

As the summer draws to an end, Juicy Blunts continues to roll out their experimental, over-the-top flavors. Part of a new batch of 5 different styles, Juicy Blunts Banana Split ($1.50) promises a lot, but only delivers on some.

The banana split is a complex flavor and not something easily captured in a blunt wrap. Juicy starts us off with a pure fudge smell and no hint of banana. Usual leaf quality and the thin ‘easy roll’ strip help out with the rolling duties. The blunt doesn’t give off much of a smell and delivers jack shit in the taste department. I’m still not sure why some JB blunts are loaded with flavor while others have none.

Essentially, this blunt fails to deliver on a promise. Hopefully, the people out there who love fudge will buy this up off the shelves.

Juicy Blunts likes to get creative with their packaging and even more creative with their flavors. Another example of this is Apple Brown Betty ($2), an apple-cinnamon concoction with a brown-eyed sweety on the cover.

This wrap smells bomb and has just the right mix of its two main flavors. You don’t get any taste while smoking, but it does leave a sugary sweet flavor on your lips after every puff. Also, as a bonus feature, there is a 1″ wide ‘thin strip’ at the end of each Juicy wrap – this cuts down on rolling time.

Overall, this cinnamon treat is different enough from your average blunt to be worth a try. Pick it up and tell us what you think.

We’ve been reviewing some crazy wraps lately, so it’s about time to hit up some of the smoother, more refined flavors. Blunt Wrap French Vanilla definitely falls into this category.

First, Blunt Wrap does a really good job packaging their wraps. The tube + saran wrap method is perfect, and stops the leaf from sticking to itself while being unrolled. The smell hits you full on – it’s less of a pure french vanilla aroma, more of a french vanilla + coffee. While smoking, I was expecting a serious dose of flavor, but no dice with this blunt. It’s the usual case of a perfect scent not being backed up by an equal flavor. Ah well.

On a side note, once out of the packaging, these wraps lose their moisture extremely quickly. So, make sure your homies are on time and roll the leaf as soon as it’s popped up.

It’s always nice to try a new brand of blunty goodness – True Blunts. They sport package design that isn’t on par with Juicy Blunts or Royal Blunts and most of their flavor names are wack as hell. Still, can’t hold that against them until the blunt is tested.

Ex-otiq smells a lot like hawaiian fruitpunch. The leaves taste sweet but, as usual, no taste is added to your smoke. There’s nothing really outstanding about this brand, so we’ll just have to wait and see what they drop next.

It’s common knowledge ZenSmoke is a company that loves to experiment. Sometimes they create awesome flavors and other times they spawn complete garbage. It’s like comparing Mello Mango to, say, Sizzling Bacon. No contest. Today we’re looking at another weird, one-off creation – Juicy Blunts Brass Monkey.

Brass Monkey gives off an odd smell. It’s almost like a combination between oranges, syrup and an unidentified bitterness. The taste is nothing special, more of a dulled down orange flavor than anything else. Texture and burn quality are decent, but nothing amazing.

It’s my experience that the highly experimental papers / blunts out there are frequently disappointing. Resulting from a lack of R&D, smells aren’t quite on target and taste is almost non-existant. As long as Juicy Blunts, and others, focus on developing their core product line they will have the leeway to keep making these unique creations. Still, it’s high time the quality control bar is raised.

Kiwi-Strawberry is a common flavor these days and Da Bomb Blunts has arrived with their version of this smooth combo. As expected, the scent is almost dead on target – a healthy dose of strawberry with just enough kiwi in there to balance it all out.

This level of quality does not transfer to the flavor though, because there isn’t much in the first place. Still, you will notice a hint of smoothness added to the taste. Leaf texture and rollability are all top notch, making this latest offering a good buy when looking for a complimentary blunt to a chill evening.

Peach is a fine fruit that goes well with any summer day. Turning this flavor into a wrap was a logical step and Da Bomb Blunts has done it successfully. With sweet and aromatic leaves, this blunt can compete with the entire DBB catalogue. The peach scent is spot on and its flavor has been lightly infused with the fruit’s essence. These aspects combine to create one well-rounded experience. All in all, it’s hard to go wrong with this wrap.
