hehe yeah man..

i know now in some areas UK has an excellent smoke scene. thre was a lot of illegal underground coffee-shops opening up when i was leaving uk..

i got to say when there was UK grown bud to buy - sometimes it was absolutelly fantastic, and after a few years i did prefeer bud grown in manchester by nice guys i learnt to know, before the dutch import that was very varying in quality.

the most special memory of UK is the steady flow of travellers coming from india, pakistan, afghanistan etc - with fresh charras and cream..

peace all

Hi wardy,


Spot on as usual m8, although just to be clear, I wasn't saying I didn't think Caramellos existed, rather that I was referring to 2nd and 3rd grade blocks being made into eggs as a marketing tool.

- I have smoked real Caramello, real 1st grade quality, and man, what an experience! Awesome potency, but the high had the true hallmarks of quality too :D as well as the intoxicating aroma and mouth watering taste :)


bone - keep the good info flowing bro, I'm always fascinated to learn more. I've never heard of blue seal hash by the way: was that lower or higher grade than red and gold seal?

I saw a lot of red and gold during the 90's, it was all medium quality though.


justagrower, eggs in 9-bar weights doesn't sound right to me either!

The Punjes you smoked sound awesome :D ...especially because I appreciate a good Moroccan too,


Peace

yeah man - all the hash with a "seal" was medium quality. nothing extra ordinary. rather just a gimmick for sales.

never seen any of those "seal" hashish outside UK.

i never bough much of it. the bud was much better at that moment. i allways found the colour plastic seal or the gold leaf strange aditions to hash. i mean im used to see stamps from where i grew up.

peace

I also remember all the "seals" from the mid 80's & early 90's. I only ever saw/had the gold stamped stuff (some was REAL "Pakistani constabulary" seals, real hash) or the red cellophane stuff, normally low to average quality. There was also a yellow cellophane "border black" that was very common in early 80's.

Never saw a blue one though.

I do remember Blond Lebs that came in blue or green sacking and not the white sacking as the Reds came in. These where normally a lower quality also and would go for around £550 a pound (in 84-ish), the quality reds would be around £690. This was when hash was £16 to £18 a quarter, £50 to £60 on the OZ.

The higher quality blacks that where still available around that time went from around £900 to £1000. Black then went for £20 to £25 a quarter. In fact the cost of a quarter black stayed at around £25 for 10 years or more.

That was another life eh?

I'm going off base here. Must be the melty dry sift i'm smoking (all my own work).

Hey BB, its ok, i know you where not inferring anything, i know your cool.

Lovely looking hash once again Mr Haze.

just another tuppence worth of my experience,

wardy

mr haze - im sure a hash like that would be called simply "chihca" here - since the quality is so easy to see, nothing more would be necesary. as stated before the caramellso are jsut a way of smugling - that first sieve is propably better like that - without the extra heat pressing swallowing does. i allways prefeered it like that anyway.

looks tasty :D

wardy - yea man most of that hash with the seals was not too special - but yeah the real deal gold stamps were different to the hash that came with just gold leaf on top.

i think when my time started in UK not that much more leb was coming in.

the most expensive hash i bought in UK was a parvati cream, an incredible fullmelty transparent redish hash.. that went for 280 Pounds for an ounce. was worth every penny. I didnt sell any of it hehe :D so good...

Yea Bone...the brothers at Christiania are also into the marketing game, and indeed the name game is also played here. I remember a point where something they started selling a variety of hash called "Hvid Kashmir" or White Kashmir". The stuff was bomb, but soon after that.....lots of stuff was called white kashmir even the quality was never up to par. Same thing with the polm. At a point someone had the same polm as mrhaze420 posted up in the Import thread. U know the one with a bud in the wrapping of the blocks. They started calling it "Topskud" or TopBud in english. Soon after that....every decent(and sometimes not so decent) polm was called topskud. The weed sold there are also named whatever is popular at the moment. Bubblegum being the favorite name alongside AK47. Its sad...

Stay Safe

If it s in plates , it can t be carramellos , plain and simple . Somebody has just tagged a name on to these plates . Carramellos is simply a term given to hash formed into pellets/eggs for smuggling . It does not refer to a specific hash . Its become a generic term used to sell hash .

those look very nice MrH , and much more desirable than pellets ( it aint been squeezed out somebodies arsehole) . as Bone has said , to me i d just call that 1st quality . if you knew the area in Moroc , it would be 1st quality from ...............

Calling plates of Hash Carramelos imo is like calling a Haze an indica .

with regards the Asian Border Hash , wrapped in transparent celophane , i v seen green , red , and clear , with gold or silver "stamps" (stenciled on with spraypaint). both in the UK and Holland . it just sells for cheaper in Holland than UK .

GDK - the topskud is now in the oslo area. i heard its good.

hash like ryger, super ryger etc - i guesss its also marketting... but then again christiania with its`pusher street - with 20 hash dealers on 10 meters hehe i guess there more than in many western areas the comercial side is competitive. i remember they were giving out freebees - like for every 10G they gave one extra :D hehe

i supose because of the close proximity for one dealer to an other - they have to compete..

peace!

to me caramello has nothing to do with the shape of the of the hash, it is just a certain quality and taste that it has. seen it in many forms. the egg shape has nothing to do with it as any soft hash wrapped and swallowed will look the part.

That's what I thought Mr H: my thinking is that if you're getting quality like that, of true 1st grade standard, then why would the sellers 'mislabel' the hash as Caramello to sell better - it doesn't make sense.

Clearly, you're basing your choice purely on quality, so the name is irrelevant, so why call something Caramello when it's not?


Peace

just a grower, i guess you definition of caramello's and my definition of caramello are quite different. your descritpion of caramello's is more shape related and mine is quality related. saying it never comes in plates is just foolish.

you do not get it, you are confusing the issue. i say that that caramello is a certain type of hash and you are saying it is all about the shape it comes in. wrong!!!!!!!!!!! :laughing:

mr haze - its been settled on allready caramellos was a term invented by the hippies for hash formed into egg shape and wrapped in plastic to swallow.

it doesnt mean you hash is bad - all the oposite (we love the looks of it) - what we are saying is its not suitable to call it caramellos because of the before-mentioned reasons.

its clear caramello has nothing to do with the qaulity - but if someone wants to use a term they are obviously free to do it in the name of democrazy lol.

mr haze - please understand - caramello - comes from the shape

bonecarver_OG

someone at some stage just started to call plates of same high qaulity as in the caramellos for also caramello.

period.

now rest is up to each - although cant fight facts mr haze :D
