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 throughIt’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.

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.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide: The Best Gifts For Moms Who Love Vaping

AKAMother’s Little Helpers-by the Rolling Stones is in the Public Domain. The BEST gifts for Moms. That’s the gift list that I want to put together. Just returning from the Hall of Flowers, I was privy to some of the finest cannabis flowers in the world, shown to me in all forms, from vaporizers (The Ghost comes to mind), to the ever cleverly designed Puffco Peak, there was something for everyone at The Hall of Flowers. Perhaps the greatest element of this B2B event was the opportunity to openly consume our cannabis, without fear of arrest. That stigma alone is my motivating force behind the use of vape pens. They are non antagonistic. They don’t shout: I’m smoking a joint. They are designed for pleasure, some with added terpenes for taste and aromatics, still others are the exemplification of class and comfort against your lips. I was charmed by so many, but I only have room for eleven, so here goes. Moms Little Helper indeed.

Higgs: Cannabis Lifestyle Brand With Elegance

Higgs Cannabis Lifestyle

Higgs Cannabis Lifestyle WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

A couple weeks ago I received two small packages of pre-rolls that were unlike anything that I have seen or better yet, smoked prior. The packages were extremely well designed with sleek artwork and utterly mesmerizing color schemes. My childhood spent partially in Miami Beach at my family’s estate (Shangri-La) on Hibiscus Island, was filled with this cheery color array. The boxes scream to me Classical Art Deco, and the Higgs Lifestyle Cannabis experience comes with a twist. That twist would be the perfectly hand stuffed and tiny cannabis cigarettes contained within!

Orchid Essentials: Gushing With Terpenes

Handsome Design

Handsome Design COURTESY: ORCHID ESSENTIALS

California Cannabis cultivars possess a intriguing quality that changes from place to place. In the language of wine this aromatic descriptor is called Terroir. Quite literally, Terroir means, the taste (or smell) of the specific place. It’s very esoteric language, but it shouldn’t be overwhelming to the lay person. The same holds true for cannabis. There is in my opinion, there are striking differences between growing regions in the propagation of cannabis. The flavors differ wildly from place to place! This is especially true when the strains are grown under their own specific California-radiance of the sun. In the absence of the natural sun, there are the terpenes. These are naturally occurring scents that are added to cannabis oils and concentrates. What terpenes are in the language of the nerds, (I’m definitely one of those) are the scents that define different varieties of cannabis. Perhaps you’ll remember that I’ve discussed this topic prior at some length and here is a refresher on the topic. Terpenes are those scented-things that we recognize in cannabis. Sometimes they smell like pine. Other times they are citrus in their overall demeanor. And then there are the cultivars that smell like your neighbor’s male cat has been roaming around. I want to smoke those! There are more terpenes in cannabis than in wine! I’ve learned to detect many hundreds of nuances in cannabis, some of them exciting and intellectually stimulating. The mysterious umami ones are amalgamations of many scents. As a saucier and a mixologist, (sort of like a chef and a bartender, only deeper) I’ve learned to detect scents and further myself into the experience of the flavors and the buzz. There are many strains of cannabis to taste and evaluate. It’s what I do! Hey, I could be studying butterflies!

Peak Extracts: Tantalizingly Authentic Cannabis Terroir

Land Race Strain. Very Exotic and Rare! Lush! WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

Peak Extracts Five Ten Cartridge comes filled with some of the most strain specific, terroir authentic cultivars that I’ve tasted in recent memory. But before I get too far ahead of myself, it wasn’t that many hours since my plane departed from Portland, Oregon. I was out there, not as a journalist, but as a mixologist. This was an unexpected bit of work, and it came at a fine time because I hadn’t been to Portland, Oregon in many months. My last trip out there was amazing. Filled with a series of deep-dives into the periphery of the legal cannabis business. There was so much that I wanted to do, see, eat and smoke, BUT there just wasn’t enough time to see the people I wanted to see, (I’m sorry), nor was I able to get that sit down meal at Pok Pok. I did get take-out, and it was delicious with those wings leading the charge to my palate.

Cobra Extracts: Ultra Sophisticated Delivery and Potency

Handsome: Cobra Extracts Battery and 510 Cart (Hidden) WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

Luxury European cars are often distinguishable by their distinctively elegant, elongated and heavy key fobs. The ones on German cars in particular seem to stand out by their pure lines and shining chrome accents. When I was sent by forces unknown to write my thoughts about the Cobra Extracts delivery system and their respective gourmet quality oils, I was very intrigued. But being so busy these days comes at a cost with my package containing the Cobra Extracts dispenser and the two 510 carts. I had some travel scheduled and wasn’t planning on making the trip without at least something to lessen the indignities of air travel. That something was to be my fully-charged, easy to conceal in my dob kit alongside my keys-Cobra Extracts oil dispensing implement.
