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.

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.
Brown Sugar: Island Blend
August 31st, 2006 by Alex
These 1 1/4″ papers don’t quite stick out as much as previous flavors have. The leaves themselves are still coarser & slightly thicker than other Zen Smoke offerings like Juicy Jay’s, Chills or Elements. The smell is weird - it’s basically a combination between a scratch and sniff sticker & some cinnamon. Not what I would instantly associate with the tropics.
When smoked, Island Blend fades into the noise - no flavor added to any aspect of the leaf. Still, these papers are solid. They burn well and add some texture to your smoke. Not everything needs to get the job done with style.
