Honest Pipes: The Path Pipe: Why You Should Own One

Exploded Pipe

Exploded Pipe COURTESY: MASON PALMER

There was the rub, I still love a good old-fashioned pocket pipe to smoke my cannabis through. It’s part of my culture. As many as I own, there is still room for more if they are simple in design and in function. I still enjoy the slow motion activity of grinding a fancy, outdoor grown nug in my ancient hand grinder and then starting a sesh with this nice bowl that graces the ancient tin-topped table. That first hit into my lungs encapsulates the experience of why I like to smoke the finest cannabis in the world. I’m positive that you would love to know about all the marvelous strains I’ve been enjoying, if I could only remember them all. One I do remember is  from Casa Humboldt. This strain is known as Pineapple Upside Down Cake. And when you open the jar, the aromatics of caramelized pineapple rush up to great your nostrils, thrusting themselves deeply inside your memory of what this strain reminds you of. Was it the rum syrup drizzled over the top of the cake? Each bite bursting in small rewards from the sides of your mouth? This strain has the uncanny ability to bring the aromatics of a well-baked Pineapple Upside Down Cake into the periphery of an ultra-high-end, hand- crafted smoking device. You need to find one of these and master it.

Q&A with Warren Bobrow by FOUR20 REPORT

Tell us a little bit about your background, and how you became known as the Cocktail Whisperer.

I was working unsuccessfully and unhappily in the corporate world for twenty or so years, trying to please my father and grandfather who were certain that I would never amount to anything in life. They were correct! It took six failures and a bankruptcy, plus divorce and being disowned to find that what I had to become successful was inside of me all along. I was in one of my incarnations a trained chef from dish sink to culinary school and into my own business. Unfortunately, my business was located in Charleston, South Carolina. I was the first and as of then, the only manufacturer of fresh pasta in South Carolina. I lost my business in Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Becoming a chef/saucier didn’t just go away for me. While I toiled in the corporate world of banking, I nurtured my craft as a chef on my days off and on holidays. When I lost my corporate job, no fault of my own- I reinvented myself yet again. This time in wine/spirits. The cocktail whisperer grew out of an alliance with an online magazine known at the time as Served RAW. They dubbed me their cocktail whisperer and the name stuck.

Mara Gordon: Aunt Zelda’s, For Every Household

Mara Gordon

Mara Gordon NATALIYA ARDITI

Mara Gordon is exactly what I thought of her, ambitious, someone with a smile on her face leading into her deeply intellectual side and then there is the plant. She sees cannabis as a medical product that has real healing. I would call it agility in the broader scope. Health and wellness needs a place to go within the cannabis dialect. It’s not only recreational cannabis that drives the market. There is real healing taking place here from real medical doctors who are not afraid to buck the tide and create real change away from traditional methods of healing.

I want to share with you someone who has some really fantastic ideas that have taken our collective energy to a higher place in the universe of healing. This is a person who sees a much broader picture in the term “medical cannabis.” Thus, without further delay, may I please introduce you to Mara Gordon.

Five Questions With Illmatik Concepts: Two Guys From Jersey

REAL SMOKE x DT-40

REAL SMOKE x DT-40 JOHNNIE IZQUIERDO

I met Christian Pace and his cousin Luke over at the classic home-spun restaurant named, Argyle Restaurant in Kearny, New Jersey.  These young men are authentic locals to the neighborhood, and over our brimming platters of crisply fried fish and chips, I caught bits and pieces of their often illustrious childhood, always away from the manacles and the eager clutches of the local constabulary. But certainly with good reason did the local law enforcement find bigger fish to fry, for these young men didn’t need to find trouble to find their own success on their own terms. They have ambition in them. And the other part?  They grew up in a tough part of New Jersey, where it’s always been known as “Jersey.” Calling this area New Jersey would make you stand out like a Sussex County farmhand at Gunnison Beach by Sandy Hook in August. (Look it up!) The Argyle Restaurant is certainly a throwback to another era of Kearny, New Jersey when this town was a stop-over point for many Scottish immigrants, most right off the boat from the old country far, far away. Like my family settled in a less-than comfortable part of Newark, as the crow flies just over a couple hills, this part of New Jersey could be another country entirely. And to this day the buildings and the names of the streets call mention to the past and the faded present tense of Kearny, New Jersey.

Island Cannabis/Ray Landgraf: Utter Quality In Cannabis

Ray Landgraf

Ray Landgraf COURTESY: ISLAND CANNABIS

I love Island Cannabis. No, it wasn’t their packaging that did it to me, nor was it their ebullience and smiles, although that did draw me into their bright and shiny booth at the Hall of Flowers just a month ago. Island Cannabis represents to me quality and balance in a friendly package. I wanted to try all their products and at Hall of Flowers I had that unique opportunity, which didn’t disappoint in any way. This led into the honor of interviewing the founder of the company. I must apologize in advance, it wasn’t so long ago that I was the one setting up this sort of meeting for others. I was an executive assistant for far too many years and I never gave a second thought to setting up an interview for someone else. Not thinking for a moment that the person who conducted the above said meeting was myself in my former incarnation. Cannabis surprises abound, and this is the really good stuff. I love their packaging too at Island Cannabis. Bright, exciting, intriguing. I want to taste what is inside. The product that has boldly optimistic creativity signified on the label.

Five Questions with Omura’s Head of Marketing: BJ Carretta

BJ Carretta, Omura’s Head of Marketing

BJ Carretta, Omura’s Head of Marketing COURTESY: OMURA

At first I looked at the design-forward device in a quizzical manner. How is it filled? Why does it look like a high styled, European electric toothbrush? Where is the on button? My old brain was starting to hurt and I couldn’t quite grasp the potential here. But after a conversation with BJ, via both phone and email, my trepidation was assuaged. The design of the Omura is striking. It’s clean and crisp in scope. The size, is perfect to the hand, both elegant and memorable. When you speak to people who have clarity for their path in life, tools like the Omura makes the sometimes difficult road a bit easier to navigate. We spoke about a number of things, listed below. I was most impressed by the gently heat and not burn technology. I only had some CBD pods so I couldn’t get the full experience, yet my feelings were correct in every way. This is a quality machine. Coupled with the right strain, it would be as easy as buying a pack of gum. But in your favorite cultivar, ready to go without having to roll a joint or fill a bong or tap out a dirty pipe filled with last week’s weed. There is nothing cumbersome with regard to the Omura. This is a design edifice, an object d’art for the Museum of Modern Art. It’s functional art and I’m proud to own one. The only thing I need to do is get to a place where their unique carts are legal. California is that place.

Thirty Or Fewer Hours In San Francisco

How About That View?

How About That View? WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

There are dozens of tourist hotels in San Francisco that fail to offer the true experience of being in this magnificent city by the bay. They just seem to suck the life out of travel by being determined to sap the character out of a neighborhood, or in a broader scope make the time away just like home. That’s no way to travel! In my opinion, traveling is meant to give the guest a view into a place that is missing by staying at a big name hotel. You cannot do this by watching television. You must experience it first hand.
