Another week, another sample. Itâ??s quite dark and fairly compact, yet fluffy and somewhat fuzzy looking. A quarter looked like a half O in a sandwich baggie. It was fairly fresh and probably needs another 2 or 3 days of curing before it reaches itâ??s best flavor. On the outside it smelled very fresh and grassy, but not too overwhelming (I could smell it through the bag when he handed it to me). Now after a day and a half inside the jar itâ??s developing an organic/floral-leathery scent to it and the trichomes are unmistakably amber on the surface. Once cut into, an exotic fermented fruit smell fills your nostrils. It smells like something you could get at the super market. Itâ??s very appealing to your taste buds. The smoke is palatable and mouthwatering as the fruity taste overwhelms your taste buds. Initially itâ??s smooth on the way down but it expands very quickly. If found that if you hold it in too long you end up coughing quite a bit. It was astonishingly resinous in the back of the throat and I could taste long after I finished the bowl (midway through I didnâ??t even want to finish the bowl because I could feel myself becoming intoxicated but I smoked it up so I didnâ??t have to carry that ashy smell around with my bowl). It burned for quite some time. Immediately after the first hit you feel a buzzing sensation in and around your sinuses. After about 10 minutes, I became a bit anxious and it seemed as though I could hear with greater detail. After about 20 minutes I could feel a narcotic body high settling in with mental clarity, an increased feeling of tranquility, and increased appetite. Itâ??s been well over two hours and the body high is still creeping in at wavesâ?¦ my eyes have gotten a bit heavy a times, but itâ??s not to the point you want to close them and sleep. A thought always seems to come in and snap me out of that sensation. Since the brief 5 minute anxiety period in the beginning, Iâ??ve been fairly relaxed and at peace although there are short periods where I still feel some anxiousness. Iâ??ve also noticed that I seem to become lost in thought and a good deal of self-introspection for long (well maybe itâ??s really not that long and Iâ??m just baked) periods timesâ?¦ Iâ??ve been sitting in silence (not even realizing it) for nearly 45 minutes now.
Itâ??s been quite a ride so far and I have a feeling itâ??s not over yetâ?¦
Another interesting thing, I smoked a small cigarillo yesterday with two friends (it was way too much and I was still kind of high from earlierâ?¦ I like to describe my smokes right after I blaze a bowl on a clear head so I decided to wait to write up a description) and I was out of it from 6:30pm until I fell asleep at 12 amâ?¦ I had incredibly pleasant dreams last night though!
Iâ??m not so sure this would be a good group smoke. I think Iâ??d only want to smoke this with close friends and relatives because I would assume the self introspection could make someone (especially if theyâ??re not comfortable with themselves) very awkward in a social situation. I really wouldnâ??t recommended driving on this either.
