Herbal Smoke Reviews

Crystal Ball Bud

I have been eyeballing International Oddities Crystal Ball Bud for about a year now. Well, today is the day for the review, my tube of Crystal Ball Bud just arrived. It’s been about a year since I reviewed or even had any International Oddities bud around. So I was super excited to crack open the tube to find a light green, dark green, red haired fluffy crystallized ball of herbal goodness.

The aroma was very relaxing and mellow, not over powering. Very similar aroma to International Oddities Herbal O, yet very light.

I rolled up a joint of Crystal Ball Bud and fired it up. It burned very evenly and nice and slow. It was very smooth and tasty. I even could taste the Herbal O/Black Widow like taste as well, but still very light and not over powering. A very clean, relaxing, smooth, tasty experience.

In comparison to the other International Oddities Bud I have reviewed. I believe this one is my new favorite and now the top of my list. I would compare it to a cross between Herbal O, NE-146 and Black Widow. But yet, totally unique, very well balanced in aroma and taste. And by the way… don’t get caught with this one without the packaging, it looks like real kind buds!

Ah, how I love the Panama Gold! Especially around this time of year! The warm spicey aroma and smooth herbal smoke of Panama Gold is a great holiday bud. Perfect in the hooka or paper… the Panama is what Santa is burning this year!

Well, it’s the weekend and I decided to swing by our local shop to see what International Oddities products they had in stock. Turns out they sold out of everything except Diablo Smoke, Wizard Smoke and Ultra Wizard Smoke. So reluctantly I went with the Diablo Smoke this time. I was not expecting anything spectacular from Diablo since it didn’t seem to be very popular, being the one of the last I.O. products on the shelf.

Once I got to the house, I opened the box to investigate the Diablo Smoke. At first glance it looks like Wizard Smoke soaked in one of I.O.’s dark resins, as I like to call it… “Buttered Up”. When I opened the sealed bag and took a nice size pinch out… It reminded me a lot of a mix between Wizard Smoke and Black Widow… but with a spicey overtone. Black Widow is one of my favorite I.O. products due to the thick resinated smoke. Diablo Smoke stands inbetween Wizard Smoke and Black Widow as a nice compromise between the green and black. The Diablo Smoke was moist, spicey and smooth. Preferably smoked in a pipe or hooka due to the moistness of the resin, but not as saturated as the Black Widow. Also, the Diablo Smoke was more aromatic and spicey in comparison to the Black Widow. I would say the Green and Black mildly resinated spicey herbal-o like aroma is one of my favorite aromas of all I.O. products so far. If you like Wizard Smoke, Black Widow or Herbal O, your going to love Diablo Smoke.

Well, I started off only smoking these International Oddities Buds in a bowl or rolled up. Recently we got a hooka for Christmas and I have to tell you… Nothing compares to a resinous I.O. bud like Black Widow and Blueberry Buds in a hooka! A hooka causes the buds to burn at a very low temp, creating a smooth unburnt flavorful taste. What a difference it makes! Keep in mind, you can also buy hookas at International Oddities as well. Grab one with your next bud order, and try some of the thick sticky buds this time!

When we are busy blending our own blends, we rely on this blend to get us by… International Oddities - Black Widow. This bud is very moist in resin, VERY BUTTERED UP as we like to say. It is a smooth juicy smoke best enjoyed like high quality pipe tobacco.

Black Widow is perfect in a water pipe for a long lasting slow smooth smoke. Also try in a regular pipe or hooka. Not very friendly with papers due to the moist resin soaking the buds

When I ordered the Herbal O. I also added the Krypto Buds to my order. When I popped the top to my 1/2 oz tube. It also had a medium strength aroma. Not as strong as the Blueberry and stronger than the DRO BUDS. The buds were green and fresh. They broke up really well. Perfect for joints. I started with a joint. It burned really well. The taste was less fruity and a little less sweet than the Blueberry and Dro Buds I was already smoking. International Oddities has spent over 2 million dollars developing this product. I can tell, it is definately a designer bud and meant to satisfy the hardcore smokers.

Krypto Buds break up well and burn well. Feel free to roll one or pack any bowl. I also prefer to mix resins and oils with Krypto. It also blends well with your favorite smoke blend!

This is the first product I tried from International Oddities. So here I was, holding a tube of Dro Buds and a Tube of Panama Buds in a local head shop. After evaluating each product using sight and smell. I had to decide… DRO BUDS IT IS!

At first glance, it has a kinda light brown color and comes in nugs. As soon as I got out of the shop… I packed a bowl in a new glass pipe and took a taste… Expecting the harsh repercussions of herbal smoke I was blown away… This was a very smooth and sweet tasting smoke. MAN HAS HERBAL SMOKE COME A LONG WAY! I was sooo happy that I found something I could pack a bowl and smoke anywhere. DRO BUDS has a mild aroma compared to the other herbal buds at International Oddities, and is VERY SMOOTH, SWEET and perfect all the way around!

This herbal smoke is perfect by itself or blended with your favorite smoke!
