[geekymonkey]

So, this pot ho decided to walk on the wild side and had a bit of an affair with the solids. So here’s the run-down.


Mellow Yellow's Jungle Nepal

Mellow Yellow's Jungle Nepal (16e/g) Was nicely pliable with a eucalyptus, spearmint, and faint pepper flavor. Heavy stone presses behind eyes and down on shoulders. Nice, but not worth the top-shelf price tag.


Amnesia's Nepal Pollen

Amnesia's Nepal Pollem (16e/g) I asked after black hash and the budtender told me that this was "really special." Definitely very clean, with a minty flavor with a touch of chili pepper. The high was clear and pleasant, but not “really special” to me.


Katsu's Pollem Nepal

Katsu's Pollen Nepal (4g/ 20e) Had a menthol aroma that reminded me of vic’s vapor rub with a hint of dark chocolate. Pliable and uniform in a way that seemed odd. Left a residue in my mouth. A reasonably strong active high, but unremarkable. Probably better than the price, but still a low-end hash. clean clean uniform pliable


De Graal's Super Pollem

DeGraal’s Super Pollem- Lemon pepper nose with undertone of rich sandalwood. Chatty, social high. Firm enough that grinding it was the best way to get it into a joint. A little harsh on the back of the throat. Wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

DeGraal’s Gardela- Wish I had a picture for you, but this one all got smoked immediately. Powerful dreamy stone, great licorice flavor. Oily. Yummy. Yum yum.


De Graal's Flower Hash

DeGraal Flower- Very firm with a clean minty slightly floral smell. Clear drifting high, a little harsh.


Club Media's Zootjels

Club Media’s Zootjels – Oily, fresh, and pliable. Really a superb recommendation by one of the smoking lady dealers at edia. Tasted of honey, sandalwood, cinnamon, and caraway seed Full aromatic flavor and a soft cottony stone with pleasant limb heaviness.


Kandinsky's Trans Himalayan

Kandinsky’s trans-Himalayan- Brown sugar flavor with hints of fennel seed, sandalwood, and wax. Creaping calm introspective meditative high. Very soft and pliable. I know this is a popular hash here, but it didn’t really do it for me.
The flavor is the most disappointing part, as I like black hashes with a strong licorice flavor and this one has a very pleasant brown sugar. Also, it left a residue in my mouth that I found rather unpleasant and likely indicative of contamination.

Bagheera’s Twizzle- Very firm with a non-descript spicy flavor. Nice expansive strong stone. Drifty, floaty, very chill. In large quantities had a visually heavy effect that was almost trippy.


Basjoe’s Cream Special

Basjoe’s Cream special (Soft Indian Black)- James gave me a lump of this to put in my joint the first day, which had me quickly buying a lot more. Spicy sandalwood, pepper, and sweet cardamom flavor. The stone was like a warm hug.


Basjoe's Royal and Cream Hash

Basjoe’s Royal Hash- Oily, pliable, full of spicy deliciousness. Lemon, cardamom, and cinnamon flavors. Reminded me of the Zootjles except a warmer stonier effect. I love body stone!


Basjoe's Pollem

Basjoe's Pollem- Incredibly pliable and fresh with a lemon blossom aroma and a brown butter and sandalwood flavor. A chatty energetic high that was still pleasantly calm. Easily crumbled by hand into joints.


Basjoe's Isolator

Basjoe’s Isolator Hash- Peppy pep pep. Adds a nice lifted high to any joint. Smooth. Not much flavor of its own, which is great for super-charging a tasty weed joint.


1e Hulp's Zero-Zero

1e Hulp’s Zero Zero (7e/g)- When you ask to see a nice hash and the dealer reaches immediately for one of the least expensive on the menu, you can usually be sure you’re in for a great batch. Lightly aromatic spicy sandalwood and pepper flavor with a moderate slightly forgetful stone. Fresh, clean and soft. Quite the bargain.

1e Hulp’s BHO (55e/g)- Dark and oily, and seemingly the real deal back in late September. Stan and I both taste-tested it and it tasted like it had been well-purged. No pictures of this because it went up in smoke double quick. Powerful, dreamy.


Betty Boop's Tilghdin Ketama

Betty Boop’s Tilghdin Ketama (13 or 14 e/g)- A sweet floral gingerbread smell and taste. Strong powerful but mellow (relaxed) high. Really lasted.


Betty Boop's Pakistani

Betty Boop’s Pakistani (9 e/g) Paki stoney but not as spacy floral nicely Smelled of brown sugar and mint but had a tart, powdery lemon flavor. Stoney and relaxing but mentally present. Heavy but clean in the lungs with a nice clean finish. Actually Pakistani genetics grown and made in Morocco.

Sweeet hash show!!

The hash on the left looks killer (royal hash), very clean and the picture really does it justice!!.the one on the very top (MY jungle nepal) seems full of veg. material.

I was blown away by the first taste of the Silver Bubble. It tasted assertively of black pepper and strawberries with a diesely aftertaste. It even ticked the back of my throat like a big peppery zinfandel. An instant visual stone set in that was silvery and slightly twisted. The stoniness was both strong and mentally energetic, an unusual "Indica High" sensation. The silver bubble was STRONG

funny, here are my (mental ) notes fr the mid december Silver Bubble @ Voyagers:

Yeasty/hopsy first smell (outta the tube) with a fruity undersmell.Once the dense and nicely cured nug is broken, intense sweet strawberry toffee (dunno if that even exist but WTH!!) aroma.This smell was straight mouth watering.
Smooth rich smoke, strawberry toffee on the inhale, sweet pepper on the exhale.ANd hell yeah it was strong (but I'm a lightweight )!!Deffo not a social stone fr me, Introspective and ...yeah "mentally energetic" is the word..spot on!! l

It was the best weed of the trip hands down.Very well grown and cured(didn't sample a lot though).

Thks fr yr reports Geekymonkey!!
