El Blunto/Albert Einstone Cannagars-Papa’s Select Editions

I love smoking ultra-luxury cannagars, they offer much more than your typical joint to the high-end cannabis aficionado. A cannagar is a rare treat, a thing of beauty to behold in your hand and soon into your lungs. They are comprised of many parts, top shelf flower along with all kinds of concentrates. The higher the quality, the deeper the experience.

The El Blunto collaboration is the cannagar I’ve been waiting for. First of all, I’m a massive fan of Papa’s Select cannabis adjuncts. The contain deeply potent concentrates derived from outdoor grown, Humboldt County cannabis.

I was especially charmed by the cannagar that contained Papa’s Select from Sunrise Mountain Farms. Their cheerful Dozizoz #3 flower and Dozizoz live Ice Water #5 hash comes hand woven into further tangle of Sunrise Mountain Farms flower. This is truly gorgeous stuff that speaks to a higher place in the universe. I’m very impressed. El Blunto/Albert Einstone/Papa’s Select have created something that speaks very clearly towards quality and character. And you will get really stoned with out any trouble at all.

Tasting Notes for the Dozizoz #5 cannagar:

Nose: Bright and refreshing with dollops of lemon oil and baby skunk

Palate: Richly textured smoke with hints of toasted hazelnut and pine sap

Finish: Each puff brings mesmerizing aromatics of crushed bitter/sweet cocoa nibs across the tongue

The Stone: This is not a cannagar for beginners, you will get quite high. Very high at that! The smoking experience will last a good long time.

The second cannagar is comprised of Gelato OG and infused with Fatso live ice water hash. The hash is bred by Really Cannarado and grown by Sabertooth Farms and the flower is grown by Local Cannabis Co. I really enjoyed this gourmet treat and deeply potent stone.

A Golden State Mini-Prerolls: Strikingly potent Gourmet Cannabis

Have you ever started smoking your typical one gram joint only to get so high that you cannot finish it? Or you’ve put that joint out, but the cannabis smoke that has drawn through the joint, making it sour tasting. Just smoked cannabis has a distinctive bouquet. It is not always a pleasurable scent reminiscent of used bong water. Not pleasant at all to me.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could encapsulate your favorite high-test cannabis strains in a miniature, hand-held easy to maneuver package that is not at all overpowering? What if your “sesh” was just the right size to enjoy but not be wasteful?

There are a multitude of mini-prerolls on the market these days. If you haven’t noticed them yet there is a reason. The larger sized prerolls just dominate the dispensary market, but not for long in my opinion. The convenience to the consumer is profound with each mini-preroll weighing in at about .52 of a gram. For the purpose of this article, each mini of the brand, offers a very personal experience. They are just the perfect size for your own sesh, which I must say is not overwhelming. You will get really high. It’s just enough and not too much.

It’s a nice touch to offer a mini-preroll that is weighed slightly overweight as well. As a person fairly familiar with the cannabis business, it’s nice to get a little bit extra when the quality is already so elevated.

Silver Cloud, Indica:

It’s refreshing to find an Indica strain that doesn’t bury me into the couch after only a couple drags. A Golden State has developed this cultivar to stimulate the mind, while relaxing the body. It’s quite uncanny how they do this. I also had a heightened appetite, something that hardly happens to me under any circumstance. I didn’t eat the entire chicken pot pie, only 9/10ths of it. The Silver Cloud is evocative with notes of citrus oil and cedar on the nose leading into dollops of pine sap and turned soil. It’s crystalline in the head, I was thinking clearly yet my body became very relaxed. Nice work!

Night Sky, Indica:

This strain is the night train to a place not yet discovered. My brain is sedated, and my body is relaxed and comfortable. There isn’t anything out of place and my dream-state is set way off in the background, yet I’m comfortable and peaceful all at the same time. This is cannabis for the late day and late evening. The flavors are of coconut meat, snipped French herbs and candied walnuts. Hints of earth and vanilla bean comes into view then works her magic around my palate up and into my brain. Night Sky is the Milky Way Galaxy…Without any sticky chocolate on your fingers.

Woods, Sativa:

The first thing I tasted was orange zest surrounding gobs of pine sap. The kind of sap that coats your windshield. If you were to lick that sap, it would taste just like the first hit of Woods. I’ve often described California cannabis as having fruit salad notes. This one is the diametric opposite to fruity. It’s a walk in the Redwood forest, surrounded by pine needles and shovelfuls of crushed minerals coated in pristine sea salt. This strain grabs your attention and draws you into a heightened state of intellect. It’s possible that the rabbit hole that you fall down will take you to into the study of Venetian glass. Well not really, this strain is brain food for that perfect refresher to your mindfulness. Smoking a mini-preroll of Woods is a vacation for your mind. If you want more of a buzz, smoke another one. This stuff really works her magic on my brain, or what little remains of my brain at the end of the day.

A Golden State is consistently offering the finest quality herbs in both flower and pre-roll formats. Each strain harvested from their own individually developed cultivars offering candor and intensity for the acutely aware connoisseur.

A Golden State: Three New Strains for Epicure Experiences

Lake Shasta Snowmelt is what powers the textured and redolent cannabis from A Golden State in Northern California. This pure and pristine water source acts to give A Golden State cannabis the unique terroir that adds a certain taste of the place. I wanted to test my theory that A Golden State is unlike any cannabis I’ve enjoyed before by smoking it through two brand new smoking implements to me, namely the Session Bong and the other, a Higher Standards Beaker.

I also used my Stonedware “Purse-Pipe” with splendid results. You don’t need a deep lungful of weed smoke for an abundantly pleasurable smoking experience!

I procured three selections along with some lovely Indica-based, mini-joints that I hope to review in the coming weeks. The flavors are as follows: Lava Flower, Honey Flower and Silver Cloud.  https://www.agoldenstate.com/

Each of these ultra-luxury strains come packaged in eighth-ounce sized glass jars that are painted creamy white with their name, A Golden State penned in gold. There is a round sticker on top of the jar showing the individual strain name. Each sticker is printed in bright Pantone-type color. It’s really impressive to see up close, much care goes into the design of the packaging. This is a brilliant way to be recognized in on the shelf, their labels and micro-stories printed on the boxes really stand out. Each one subtly hinged on art-school worthy color palates that soothe and entice the consumer into a purchase. The consumer, intrigued by all these pigments, will find that A Golden State does more than just look good, the hand-tended cannabis smokes just as exquisitely.

How Top Cannabis Influencers Are Transforming the World of Cannabis Cuisine

Top cannabis influencers are having a real impact on the future direction of cannabis cuisine. Here are some of them.


The Cocktail Whisperer : Warren Bobrow

One of the most visible cannabis influencers from the world of wine and spirits, Warren Bobrow, is a high-profile mixologist who most people simply know as “The Cocktail Whisperer” (www.cocktailwhisperer.com). His primary goal is to transform the world of mixology by infusing (literally) elements of cannabis cuisine. At the first-ever Cannabis Drinks Expo in San Francisco in July 2019, Warren Bobrow was one of the high-profile presenters at the event, showing audience members how he goes about creating some of his most famous cannabis cocktail creations. The importance of this cannot be understated, especially with the growing potential for “cannabis consumption lounges” to become as normal as your neighborhood wine bar. Imagine the buzz that could be created on social media, as mixologists around the nation follow the lead of Warren Bobrow and begin to create cannabis-infused cocktails of their own.

12 Sips and Scenes from Tales of the Cocktail 2011

It’s been said that the sun should be warm over your toes before you have a cocktail—but here in New Orleans, at the site of Tales of the Cocktail, the cocktail shakers never stop making their sing-song sound of rattling ice. The frost of the cold forms on the sides of the shaker. You listen for the snap of the first pour into the chilled glass. It’s all about craft, and everyone here is ready to celebrate.

At the William Grant event over at the WW2 museum the clock stopped in 1945. You find yourself at Jackson Square—in between having your Tarot cards read—there are more cocktails. The Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone is like a circus without animals—the bar moves around the room like a merry-go-round.

At Tales of the Cocktail, there are new products from almost every brand, new technologies to explore, and old drinks to rediscover. Check out some of our favorites sips and scenes in the slideshow »

If you haven’t yet made your reservations for next year, it’s not too late. My advice is to start drinking heavily right now…You’ll need to get your body in shape and this isn’t a 10K race, it’s century marathon, a history lesson in every glass.

The Way to Bliss is Time Enough

420Waldos:  Why is a very important wristwatch for a very important time, and date so intriguing? And what is that time again? It is of course, 4:20 pm on 4/20. And what is it about this wristwatch that makes it irresistible? Tucked into that magic time, 4:20 is a little cannabis leaf. A smile ensues, followed by a belly laugh. But it’s not just serious fun watching the seconds tick by, it’s the importance of time itself, and the minutes and hours that move, like clockwork towards 4:20.

Here are the group of people who created the historically relevant name of 4:20 and they all have a verifiable and deeply fascinating back-story that involves a clandestine meeting. What time? That time of course, the most famous stoner time in the world. Four Twenty….
The day of that time of 4:20 is 4/20 of course. This rigorously documented history is true to the plant and with every sale of the 4:20 Waldo wristwatch,

(a fascinating story, click to the link, please read…) a portion of the proceeds goes towards the quest of the national legalization of cannabis.

As I gaze wistfully at this very special wristwatch on my wrist, as the hands of time gracefully move ever so much closer to that infamous little green cannabis leaf, I smile. That distinctive green cannabis leaf is of course located precisely at 4:20. I can take pause in knowing that this time is very special for everyone who knows the deeply inner meaning of 4:20 on 4/20. Not even my own Swiss wristwatch gently reminds me of 4:20 during the day, or night…

Fortunately, 4:20 comes twice a day. I can rest assured that the quality in this little glow in the dark- wristwatch will bring a smile to the wearer often and a fun conversation to all others. A win/win, good job to the history of 4:20 Waldo… on 4/20!

Introducing the North Coast Co.

Republic of North Coast “Box Pressed” Cannabis Cigars

Brilliance from the far north. One puff at a time.

North Coast Cannabis Co. Cannabis driven brilliance from “up north” and quite far away…

www.northcoast.co

There is an East Coast, there is a West Coast, but did you know that there is a North Coast? Well friends, there is a North Coast and it’s located up north in Michigan. What are they growing up in these northern climes? Some of the best cannabis in the country that you haven’t smoked yet is happening, right now in Detroit.

I was immediately charmed by the names of the blunts, cannarillos and joints. Each hand rolled version is carefully constructed from the finest locally grown artisanal herbs to offer the finest terroir of the place.

@fatheadfarms Banana Mac x Strawberries and Cream Donut- soft across the palate with bursts of beguiling fruit flavors. Comes on slowly but don’t let this subtle sweetness fool you, this is high test weed for sure. No beginners allowed!

@organic_mechanic78
It shouldn’t take too long to decide what blend is your favorite. Mine is the Organic Mechanic78 in a plethora of Candy rain donut. It weaves a story from that fog between your ears. Of course, that would be your brain. Stoned again. What?

@kentargal
@hash.freak
GMO and Key Lime Pie donut
Delicate Kentargal is not, but don’t let that strange name fool you. There is serious power in each metered draw. Each thrust into your lungs mesmerizes the body and sequesters your mind into droplets of stone fruit jam and oily citrus skin. Magnificent effort that took several hours from my mind and deposited them into the future tense.

@trichome_heavy
Katana Kush blunt
There are ways to an end and the trichome heavy Katana Kush blunt reminds me of each one. It’s hard to remain focused with this blunt. The mind just gets wiped away, without smothering the personality. Take a hit, or five. You’ll get pasted all over your couch. Enjoyable work this represents.

@pure_clouds
Bahama mama blunt
Pure Clouds offers remarkable aromatics of baby skunk, citrus, pine needle oil and crushed stones. Then of course there is the stone. Where did my brain go? Into the pure clouds of your intimate memories.

Hydrology 9 NX and Artisan Canna Cigars

Hydrology9 NX Flower & Concentrate Vaporizer

Why smoke cannabis from a joint when you can experience the very essence of the smoking experience with a Hydrology 9/Cloudious 9 Vaporizer.

I was fortunate to have used the prior incarnation of the Cloudious 9 and it served me well for a couple of years. It came to me, resembling a hand-held “Light Sword” from Star Wars and this early device did most things right. What it didn’t do well was the loading process, water sometimes got into the chamber, because the smoking chamber was located on the bottom of the chamber. Not a great design for a device that was quite expensive, and I had a couple of them. Aside from the funky light show, I had hoped for more at the time. Fast forward to the present, the next incarnation of the Cloudious 9.

The Hydrology 9 is the newest and coolest Cloudious 9 yet. NX is the sub-set/name and this completely redesigned vaporizer bong/dab rig is right at home with my fine flowers and ultra-luxe-concentrates. The learning curve is quite short, as this entire device is quite easy to learn how to use.

The NX is a water cooled- vaporizing vessel for both flower and even your super-critical concentrates.

I am extremely happy with the performance of my NX. The smoking experience is cool and robust, each vaporized hit of the flower is cooled by the liquid that you pour into the chamber.  I used Evian mineral water, you can use regular tap water, it’s up to you.
