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!
Well, everyone has been raving about the Skyscraper Buds for some time. And I decided to see what the hype is all about. The Skyscraper buds have the look you want, that’s for sure… hairy crystally nuggets that look so real. The smoke from Skyscraper is unbelievably smooth and fresh as well. I can’t believe I am about to say this, but… I prefer Skyscraper over Krypto now. The flavor was excellent, smoke was smooth, nice and fresh buds as well. These buds are beautiful!I wish there was more to say, but really… all there is to say about this product is 2 thumbs up! Now back to another bowl of Skyscraper and Splice!
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!
I have been curious about the A’HIA bud since I started trying the herbal buds. I finally got around to trying them out. The first thing I noticed was that these were really buds, not pressed herbs. The smoke was light and had a natural herb flavor. This particular product is not all buttered up like the rest of International Oddities herbal smoke. Leaving it with a fresh picked natural taste. I personally prefer the buttered up buds over this natural product. But I did find it to be a very relaxing evening. The A’HIA bud is a really good bud to mix with your other herbs. I recently got a hooka for christmas and find that mixing the A’HIA bud with some Black Widow makes an awesome blend, the Black Widow is full of black resin and is a slow burner, while the A’HIA bud is a fast burner… the blend seems to create a full balance and thicker smoke.
The A’HIA bud has a raw natural flavor, it is perfect for smokers who find the added resins and butters added to most herb products too much. If you like a light natural smoke… go with A’HIA bud but make sure you add a second choice with it since it mixes well with other International Oddities products… especially the more resinous ones.
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!
