Any body ever smoke the fabled "rose of atar" or know what lebanese hash is like quality wise. How dose the high and taste compare to regional varieties of hashish and other varieties throughout the world?
 
I have had what was said to be Lebonese. It was called "Lebonese Blonde". I was only able to get it trough one source several years ago and it was from a single batch that she had aquired. I never smoked it straight but we would put 1/4 of a gram atop a bowl in a hooka or bubbler. The potency was exceptional. A few hits per person would be more than adequate for an amazing high. I can't really comment on taste due to the fact that it was always combined with pretty tastey dank. I did notice that it seemed to add a floral caramel flavor. This could have been a combination of the dank and my state of inebriation though. In retrospect, I would say that a 1/4 gram was more that what would be needed. The high from what I remember was a very strong body high, relaxing and stimulating in some ways. The head high was similar. Relaxing but at the same time stimulating. By that I mean things that would normally make you tense when thinking bout them, you could relax and think about it from a different perspective. The most memorable part was the body buzz though.

P.S. It was a great addition to sex
 
i too have had what was called labanese blonde hash that bubbles when you put a flame to it. whether it was from lebanon or not it was exceptional quality dry sift, thats about all i have to say cuz i dont know whether it legitimatlly came from lebanon but if your in CA why fuck with import hash just go to a dispensery n get some high quality bubble or oil? i know good import hash is nice but IMO full melt bubble or oil would prob be better. maybe not as exotic or as tasty but more potent (but really the bubble or oil should be more tasty as well but it is all opinions really
 
Probably wasnt from there since i never can bring my self to trust sources off the street. Before i got raided i had acquired around 12 different hashish and one was a gram cube of claimed leb. It was redish brown and packed a real knock out punch body high. Even though it wasnt the same blond this poster is referring too it had similar expressions.
floral caramel flavor

Some info about different hash of yesteryear from cannabis culture:

HASHISH
Moroccan

Moroccan hash is the North African staple. It appears anywhere from deep brown to golden yellow and has a spicy leather flavor to it. Almost all Moroccan hash is screened and pressed. Though lower in potency than most black hash, this commercial offering costs less and tends to be more readily available through the years.

Moroccan plants are shorter and designed to grow tightly together, producing a single hemp-like stalk and a fat and dense single cola at the top. It is an apparent Sativa/Indica cross.

Lebanese Red and Blonde

Lebanese is another Sativa/Indica cross of short stature and density. A bit shorter and bushier than the Moroccan, it had a dark reddish hue.

The legendary Red Lebanese hash holds its own place. Red Leb had the distinct pine/juniper flavor and aroma, with a tangy spice leather to the exhaled smoke. It was sharp on the sinuses and nasal passages.

Most Red Leb hash was screened and pressed, except for the legendary Red Lebanese Honey Oil. The famed oil, only available to me from 1973-77, was in a class all of its own. The oil had a sharp juniper/cedar smell to it. It was the most powerful, lung expansive cannabis product that I had ever encountered. We would buy these glass oil pipes simply to find them useless, as no one could hold even the smallest toke of this stuff.

The oil had to be smeared onto a rolling paper or the side of a cigarette, or it had to be chased into a pile of herb with a flame from below. It was truly some of the finest. The home-grown isomerized oils of the 80's were pale in comparison to the great Red Leb.

Lebanese Blonde, the "working person's hash," was a lower grade of hash than the Red, and quantities were less expensive as well. It was less dense, making grams appear larger and giving the illusion of economy. Good Blonde had character, a spicy/woody flavor and aroma, plus a clean, woody taste. The high was a bit more than the Red, furthering the appeal to working people.

Nepalese temple balls

The Buddhists have a saying: "May all beings be happy." They also have a hash to back it up with: black finger rubbings from high in the Himalayas. This was some of my all-time favorite.

Nepalese is among the most cerebral of hashish. A strong yet pleasant head journey packed in every puff. This is some of the happiest hash I have experienced. The taste is spicy/fruity/earthen and among the most enjoyable of hash flavors. Most Nepalese hash is from rubbings, although I have heard from travelers to the area that screened and pressed varieties are available.

Simply put: Nepalese Temple Ball is some of the happiest, fruitiest and most pleasantly flavorful, highest quality hash that I have ever experienced.

Afghanistan & Hindu Kush

Rolling off the great crest of the Himalayas to the west and to the north are an apex of mountainous zones that define the northern borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Squished among these is the little region of Kashmir and the Hindu Kush mountains. This area may well be the oldest hashish producing area in the world, perhaps the birthplace of hash!

The plants of the area, the Indica variety, have been manipulated and bred by humans since antiquity. Short, dense and stout, with wide, dark leaves, these plants make the best of their high mountain, short-seasoned environment. They were bred to produce large amounts of easily detachable glandular resin heads, ideal for hashish production. These areas incorporate both rubbed, screened and pressed methods of hashish production.

Afghan hash, and the Indica strain for that matter, possess a much more sedative, dreamy, narcotic effect compared to the Sativa. This is true of the Afghan and Hindu Kush plants grown in the Pacific Northwest since 1978.

I believe more Indicas should be made into hashish, which is where the finer qualities of the Indica appear.

A quantity of Afghan seed was smuggled to the Emerald Triangle in 1978. Commercial production of the strain began shortly after that. There may have been earlier trials with Afghan seed in the region prior to 1978, but none ever made it to commercial production quantities or to public market.
