I've got some just like that right now. Low-to-middle-grade kind bud...it's not mid, it's kind, but just middle-of-the-road kind. It's some sort of skunky haze. Mine's thick as fuck & needs to dry & cure just a teeny tad more.

I like it a bit moist, actually. Smells fresher that way.

It does usually smell more the wetter it is, but it's just too difficult to break up that way though. You have to aerate it a bit & increase the surface area to be burned by breaking it up well. Scissors & then breaking it up with your hands is a chore & also it's not good to touch it alot really because it rubs off the crystals.

If you go packing a big lump then you are gonna just get it so hot that most of it will incinerate into vapor & not into smoke as is desired. This is also a good reason to keep your pipe fairly clean & to use a glass pipe. To get the greatest volume of smoke & the best high, one has to light it gingerly & make sure it is cured & broken up properly.

I generally prefer tobacco because i like the smell more and it gives me less of a headache in the morning.Buying cheap cigarettes is not so much of a problem in London seen as you can get a packet of bensons for 2 pounds in most areas if you know where to go.

Can you get kind bud very easily in London from Holland or something?

Kind bud is bulky & it reeks.
I was under the impression that usually you guys had to smoke hash or commercial brick weed that's easier to get in to you there. Which is also why I know you guys can get cocaine and heroin.

i'm not really sure what kind bud is, as the only people i've heard use that phrase are american, we probably do have it, but i suspect it is called something different.

I wouldn't know.There are many shops that sell cigarettes from countless countries under the counter.

Well, in the Netherlands they call it kind bud too, but it is an American slang originated by folks over near Kegmama back in the late '60s & early '70s.

Actually, I just examined mine & it's a bit less red-hairy (good sign usually) & it's fuzzier & more manicured than the pictured bud.

I'd be curious to see what those buds look like broken open. It looks homegrown.

so is it just high quality weed?

oh yeah...a totally enhanced effect & a wonder to partake in as often as possible hehe.

I would choose cigarettes over commercial weed, which is not all that pleasureable of a smoking experience really.

In fact Toilet,now that i remember,the turkish kebab on your street sells marlboro lights for three quid.

kebab zero? there's an offy that sells polish fags for £3/pack near the tea bar.

the one on the corner before the strip joint.

I'd imagine there to be a few of them in that area.I've never bought any myself but i can only imagine the market in Daltson to have a lot of people selling black market cigarettes.I'm dead sure of that.

well you can get high quality stuff over here, but you have to know a good dealer, otherwise you'll just get sold crap.
i never really got too into the conniseurial side of weed smoking though, so i'm not the best person to ask about that sort of thing.

No one that I know smokes hash or soap bar (which is what I imagine brick weed is). I think the fact that weed is so popular and more people know what's good and what's shit means there is less demand for soap bar and nonsense like that. Same with stuff like ecstacy...a lot of people I know take pure MDMA rather than a pill.

it depends, if the whole in my throats doesnt close up then about three packs a day.

30 a day or so. cigarettes not packs that is!

how much does a pack of reds run in the UK, since i'm going there and i chain smoke and all?

a pack of 20 cigarettes is about £5.50, darling.

I'm going to start smoking dedicatedly when I'm there. The packs of ten are rather cute, and I find the blunt, gruesome warnings printed on them rather amusing.

i think smokers need to see people less dedicated that themselves commit to the habit so as too feel less bad about slowly poisoning themselves.

go for it truncated!

Aren't they black block printing on white backgrounds, with messages like "SMOKING KILLS YOUR UNBORN FETUS" or something equally blunt?

Those, and the various "anti" commercials (the ones advising against using mobiles while driving, dangers of drunk driving, etc., where an innocent advert turns into someone's skull getting smashed on the back windshield) are fabulous.

I miss it over there.

the pack i have infront of me says "Smoking causes aging of the skin" on the back and "Smoking kills" on the front, apparently they are going to start putting photos of diseased lungs and whatnot on packets soon.

plus, i'm in favour of those adverts too, although i suspect for less blood thirsty reasons.

Get the brazilians packets.They have horrid rats dying of poisoning.Way more fun to have while you die slowly.

Nice !! I like how this cig thread got a sidetrack as well !! :D

The bud i pictured is actually very good. No purchase was required and the 'added ruffage' (not so manicured) look is intentional. A bit of protection if you will....plus the inner leaves really do have alot of THC..so no need to toss...right ?.....besides..the price is right.

Ha...here's a similar pic I took about a year and a half ago....this bud pictured was grown in Austin, Texas....about as high as you go there.....same exact clonage as my previously pictured bud....but a different hand.....this stuff isn't guesswork...it's highly controlled...perpetuated for many generations without loss of quality.....it's called GrapeApe....;)

^^ Ahh, beauty, thy name is divine... That looks so damp...

$11?!??!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ELEVEN FUCKING DOLLARS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!?!?!?!??!?!!?

Nah, it's more like $10....

i'm just multiplying by two.

xe.com says $10.50

cantankerous, get duty frees

mm, ciggies...

ooh on the aeroplane!

More like the shop in the airport.

All they have on the planes to the UK is Toblerone. Obscene quantities of it, in fact.

good to know.


i'm going to go insane not smoking on the plane. which is where the drugs come in.

That's the least of your worries.

I'm more concerned about screaming babies, chatty seatmates, and 8 hours of said seatmate watching Everybody Loves Raymond or Father Ted. It is almost always one of those two, and it is a law of nature that whoever sits next to you insists upon watching them, and guffawing into your ear.

i only ever get to sit next to single aged men aged between 40 and 60 on aeroplanes. i'm sure that when they give out seats they conspire to keep all the single men away from any hot chicks.

the best thing to do is stay up all night before you fly and then taking a sleeping pill when you get on the plane. and get one of those neck cushions that make you look like a twat, because they make things so much less uncomfortable.

i have enough experience flying to know how to handle it. you get completely smashed before going to the airport, and proceed to do so even further on the plane.

i usually smoke between 3 and 5 cigs a day, when i go out and stuff the quantity does multiply.

my preferred brand is lucky strikes but i usually go with regular camels (all of which cost, along with malbs, $2 dollars aprox), or whatever people have (yeah, i normally leach tabbacs). but lately it has been unfiltered faros (pack of 20 for $1 dollar aprox!) and because of that and because i was going to get a cold while i was smoking those my throat was getting fucked up so i've been quitting smoking for a while.

I smoke 3/4 of a pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights a day. This warrants an explanation as they are constantly compared with sucking air. When I drink, I tend to smoke more (as do most smokers). When I used to smoke regular lights, I'd wake up the next day with a sore throat. Not the case with these. And since I buy by the carton, I just stick to the Ultras. I went from Reds (regular Marlboros) to Mediums to Lights to Ultras and it's always been same the amount per day. Now if I could just quit...
