This is a very sad and very proud moment for me. Very sad in that this thread has not already been created but very proud in that I get to start a thread on an undiscovered trasure of Amsterdam.
I found this coffeeshop out today after Stenman's post about the White Cheese. I got there and as I walked in, the dealer, a very friendly Lebonese (sic) guy, Marco pulled out the menu. I explained I wanted the White Cheese which I had read on the forum wasn't on the menu. He smiled and pulled out the White Cheese. He said this is all he smokes. If he doesn't have this, he is very sad when he has to smoke another.
It is €12g or €25 fir 2.2g I went for the 2.2g option I went and sat down with Ray and a chocomel each. I rolled a White Cheese spliff. Ray's words summed it up nicely "WoW that hit me lilke a train" It was intense and fantastic, this was really good weed. I got Ray to roll another one while I got talking to Marco. He showed me through all the weeds he had that were "off menu". Blue Cheese - Fantastic Buds, Lovely smell and crystals. Every bud of every weed he showed me was covered in lovely crystals. He broke each weed open and placed it in my hand to investigate and smell. He showed me Cheese which is on the menu, and Dominator or dynamite or something, which he says he smokes instead of White Cheese when it's out.
He was also talking about another new weed called Sunrise Haze I went back down and smoked the other White Cheese spliff with Ray and then started to roll a third. Marco came over with a joints worth of Sunrise Haze and said "Smoke that. It's not as strong as the White Cheese, but it is very nice.
Nice is the right word, as I finished rolling the 3rd White Cheese, and put it to one side to build and smoke the Sunrise Haze. It certainly wasn't as strong as the White Cheese, but it was lovely and clear with a soft citrus taste. Very nice we both thought. We skipped out, after a free chocomel, and began the walk back. About halway I sparked up the White Cheese spliff. That was a mistake if ever there was one. We were utterly bolloxed, we couldn't walk in straight lines, we could barely walk!! I thought back to what Marco had said "I like it because it gets you stoned and you feel it from head to toe". Well we could certainly feel it in our heads and our toes!!
Ray commented it was like he was wearing concrete boots, but agreed I was closer to my remark "It's like walking in moon boots. Their not really heavy, but awkward and bouncy. We eventually staggerred back to my room and I am sitting here typing this while Ray recovers on the bed. This is the best weed in the world (in my opinion ) This is my new favorite coffeeshop.
I have said I will also organise another Meet and Greet around 420 in this wonderful coffeeshop. Drinks are a touch pricey at €2.50, but premuim weed is €12g. Cold drinks only. Vending machine but also drinks at bud counter.
Will create a seperate topic for the M&G.

Gets my vote
Thanks for reminding me of this place STENMAN/SoulRider
Old Amsterdam is a great coffeeshop IMO.
I've been twice when it was open, and allowed you to sit in, and once when It was pick up only ( don't know why it was pick up only but the Tender insisted we couldn't sit in?)
The first time I bought some Very nice herb called Marley's collie.... or Marley's Finest.... Finest I think.
The second time was last June, bought the White Rhino ( I'm sure It had been Recomended by Courtjester in a trip report).
Very Strong herb, It was mostly shake in the tub but I bought a gram anyhow.
It's a big shop if I remember right with a big open front window. Big comfy seat right in front of said window.
Massive menu, although the twice I bought, alot of the selections were sold out.
I think I might have to pop back in.....the alure of the whitecheese...

Didn't ask about genetics, but having smoked a lot of white widow and rhino recently, the white taste is there, but it mixes and is very simlar to the fruity taste of the cheese.Boner wrote:Anything about the genetics of the White Cheese or were you too excited?
Could be white rhino or widow with cheese, but only guessing. Will try and find out it's full history

Excuse me while I light my Spliff.....
I agree with Soulrider, great little shop,i have been visiting here for bout 8years now, and yes Andy's right the budtender is a mellow guy so so friendly. Always come here every visit, you got any news on the opening times as it seems to always change Soul? Not to many tourists here either.

Actually it might be a good idea for C&C,cos then they may be too fucked to spend all their money on the first day...SoulRider wrote:Too far out for a first stop, and the White Cheese is not recommended for a first smoke, in the dam, or in the morning :pCheech & Chong wrote:making this our first stop on our next trip mmm white cheese

I got there at gone 1pm but they were still shut. I think it is just 1 guy so he only works maybe 8 hours a day The White Cheese is not a daily smoke, and it is way too strong, if you don't smoke reguarly I'd recommend avoiding it as a whitey may ensue.
Not directed at you of course Puffin13, just a general piece of advice for all.
