cool, I'd like to know more about this!

lol a french fart ...what, you tried to babel fish-it and it farted in yer screen ???

Funny how prices are fluctuating in AMS: Rootang valley was also at 22 EUR per grm in december 2011...

I have personally been very disapointed with the Trans Himalaya frm Kadinsky, much raved about on ACD (as you can see in this thread too!!).I keep telling myself that I came across an old batch, as I know everything comes and goes.Everything seemed ok when I purchased some, very pliable, bubbled straight away under flame, pungeant minty,peppery smell with a leather backbone.Unfortunately the taste didn't match at all.Very waxy, weak...I had to pack my spliffs to get a bit of flave, which resulted in being quite harsh.The high was also lacking punch, mellow at best.Not a great piece of resin.Here is a picture of the sucker:



On the other hand, I purchased some Cream Charras in Betty Boop (which often stock great hashes at decent prices fr city center by the way) at 12 EUR.This is exactly what you are looking for (though I didn't see it listed on Cisco's latest menu pic, but feel free to ask the budtender..).Now this was a very good piece of Indian Charas by AMS standards, very fresh also.Glittering Dark brown, supersticky and extremly pliable (almost unmanageable at warm temps).Smell was a beautiful sweet citrusy ripe sativa fresh plants one, with a hint of chlorophyl, like most hashes made frm fresh plants (finger hash, scisor hash, charas etc..) that fades away with an extended cure.The smoke was round, rich and thick, very smooth on the throat with pleasant sweet peppery notes on the exhale.The high was very uplifting, heady and creative, slightly pushing yer eyeballs , very enjoyable.I fookin luved it and purchased 5gr at 50 E after a quick bargaining w/ the morrocan budtender next day.




Be sure to check also at Bluebird's, they also have an impressive import menu.
Also Crapulinski seem to have tested a serious selection of black Hashes, let's wait fr his smoke reports.

Last time i tried Transhimalaya ; indeed it wasnt that good.
3x before it was BOMB

I have a small piece of TH that Iv yet to taste so will be back about that can also recommend Bluebirds impressive hash menu I'm slowly making my way through it last trip it wasGorkha , a lovely piece of what I think was Nepaleseish ?certainly in that region . This trip the Otta I never got any details on this . Both lovely sticky seemingly hand rubbed pieces of resin ,floraly spicy almost minty taste lovely

Havent heard much about them lately on here, gonna have to take a dander out next month

thanks everyone!

thanks a lot Alpen rock, you do rock the house! i'll check that cream for sure.

Cream Charras looks and sounds great.

^^ unfortunately not on their menu anymore

Alpen, I'm with you on the trans-himilayan. The batch I got was not special and the waxy film it left in my mouth and the texture, and the way it was lit made me suspect it was cut with something.

I tried their Malana Creme when i was in there last month. It was okay but expensive. It didn't compare favourably with Paradox's Finger Hash, which was about the same price but much more flavoursome.

I'd actually asked for the Nepal Creme when ordering, but when I started rolling it I realised he'd given me the wrong one. But I thought what the hell and tried the Malana instead.

I didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the Malana hash in Amsterdam back in the 80's. Now that was absolutely exceptional....

The way folk seem to think that a hash they bought 1 month ago is still the same hash they bought yesterday amazes me.
You could effectively buy the kingTransTghdenMarcoaneesistanitemplestix in the morning, and be sold a totally different hash in the afternoon... just because a certain plant was used to make said hash, means jack shit. The consistency, and texture of 1 kilo can change within that kilo.... never mind Kilos.

Ive had great hash from the very same shops I've had awful hash from... always inspect it first....some of the worst hash I've ever smoked was bought in the Bluebird
The best, hands down, Papillon.

any advices? what hash is superb at the moment?
Rifman Noor (14€/g) from Dampkring is a nice maroccan hash made from afghani plant´s
(the dealer told me ) Any other top quality hashes around?

@Twichaldinho u are right quality can change a lot... the most purchases I made from Bluebird were not
good but I had also the best black hashes I ever smoked from here lol
The gorcka hash and the pakmar 4 years ago were outstanding...
Melana Cream and Nepal Cream was the worst hash I ever smoked from here...

Gran Cru from utopia was best in town 1 month ago. rootang from anyday was amazing too but 22e/g. sensible from dampkring and maximellow from green place were other favoutire of mine during last trip

@ Colino thanks for the advices. The Sensible hash from Dampkring was great. A dark
creamy hash... very clean and the taste was nice, too.
Interesting that the Dampkring#1 have different hash on the menu than the Tweede
Kammer and the Dampkring#2 shop. The other Dampkring shops have no Sensible
Rifman hash on their menu... they have Rifman Noor and Malika on the menu which
is not on the menu from Dampkring#1

Nepal Cream for 10e @ Utopia. Doesn't get much better than that. It's authentic too.
