I have been in communication with this seller for about a week now and am expecting to receive a shipment sometime in the next week. As for right now, this thread is a place-holder for when I can provide a detailed review of the product.
My personal goal, after communicating with MaskofZardoz, is to provide the best review I can to give him as much business as possible. For those who wish to not bother waiting for my feedback, his profile is at the following link;

As you can see, he only offers Blue Dream, which is what I will be reviewing. My review will cover the following points;
The Seller's Communication, which I can already assure you, the reader, as being good.
The Seller's Packaging.
The Seller's Product.
The smell of the weed.
How powerful the smell is.
The look of the weed.
How covered in trichromes the buds are.
The shape of the buds.
The feel of the buds when broken up for smoking.
How sticky the buds are.
The taste of the smoke.
How the smoke feels, being held in.
If, and how bad if it does, it has any throat-burn.
How long it takes the high to kick in.
How long the high lasts.
The feel of the high, at several intervals, delineated by time.
I hope that, which such a thorough and in-depth review, this seller will be given the business that I feel he deserves.
EDIT: I added two further points to how I will be reviewing this product.
-
Product just arrived. It was shipped out on Friday and, since we can exclude Sunday from the travel times, the fact that it arrived today, Monday, is very very good.
Now, time to start this review! As a note, this is a sample-review in my case. Certain things might be different in the purchase of a full-sized order.
The Seller's Communication has been exceptionally excellent. He let me know when it had been shipped and told me when I should expect to receive. Fortunately, it actually came early!
The Seller's Packaging leaves nothing to be desired and everything to the imagination. If I hadn't known to be expecting something, I would have assumed it was spam and maybe even tossed it out. Also, he includes a Delivery Confirmation Number/Tag.
The Seller's Product is the Blue Dream strain of cannabis. I have not handled this strain in the past, but I can say that in this case, it is very much covered in trichomes, a standard green color, and the regular orange threads, or hairs. I've heard them called either way.
The smell of the weed immediately reminds me of Fruity Pebbles, the sugary cereal that uses the Flintstones characters on the box. It has an undertone that smells more like weed, but primarily I want to pour it into a bowl, add some milk, and have the best breakfast ever, due to the scent.
The smell is not all that powerful, in my small sample-size amount. It is stronger, even though I have much less of it, than the Super Cali Haze I have sitting in a jar, off to the side. I imagine that it would be trying to fill the room, if I had even an 1/8th of an ounce, right now.
The bud looks like it was well cared for; I am hard-pressed to find even the remains of any small leaves, and there is not a single whole leaf, of course.
At certain angles, the weed actually looks white from density of trichomes. Very top-notch, that.
The shape of the buds is hard to review, seeing as it is how I am reviewing only a sampler size amount but I can assure that I am confident it would impress, in a full-size order.
The buds feel like they are moister than I would prefer when I break then up to go into my pipe. Once done and I've rubbed the residue and resin into little balls on my fingers then added it into the pipe as well, my fingers strongly smell of pine-needles. A grinder might be ideal, but I have no actual issue in the process. It is just as easy and any, it just doesn't crumble into dust when handled roughly.
While being broken up, it does not adhere to my fingers like glue, but it certainly tries to resist letting go and entering my pipe.
The taste of the smoke is not immediately recognizable as compared to the smell of the buds; It tastes like regular smoke at first, really. The after-taste is one more like burnt pine-needles than anything, but in no large amount. I don't feel disgusted by tasting this smoke.
The smoke doesn't feel like anything in the lungs at first but then it suddenly swells up and forces a minor coughing hit while it spreads, I feel like I definitely just inhaled something rather substantial.
Even when I pulled in more smoke than I intended and faster then I meant to, there is little to no recognizable burn in the back of my throat. There is no irritation that tries to make me stop inhaling or anything.
I would like to recommend this as far as quick-hitting highs go because, well, it's only been a few minutes since my first hit and I can already feel it rubbing against my like an affectionate cat. Much more immediate than I was expecting, certainly.
I'll tell you how long this high lasts, once it's done lasting. ;)
And the last reviewing point I promised;
The feel of the high, at several intervals, delineated by time.
At five minutes in; I feel like something is stroking my brain with a soft pillow, which is about how all my high's feel. A very pleasant Sativa-high, for sure.
Ten Minutes: I feel like my entire head is wrapped up in a blanket or something like that. I haven't even finished smoking my tiny-ass amount, and it has already slammed me.
I lost track of time real fast and it took me an hour to smoke through... well, I don't have a way to measure amounts that small, but it was a 1/3rd the size of a dime, or so. Probably even smaller. A tiny tiny amount took me an hour to get through and this is about the best damn high I've had. I'm not couch-locked, able to move around and everything, it's just not very easy to get up and go.

Thread updated!
-
Sorry about the multi-bumps, I just want people to see how quality this stuff is.
-
Wow, Where is the MaskOfZardoz?? I would figure he would be present in his own thread?
Glad Im not going to finalize...No Sign of this guy, I ordered .5 of blue dream,
If anything changes, I will update my posting.
-
Still no sign of this guy, No communication, Order still processing... Its not looking very good..
Thank goodness for the cancel button. LOL
A few things I noticed he says in his description it will be 2-4 days before accepting order. But on his feedback it shows that he ships the next day.. LOL
Also he says .5 looks like less than a "dime".. I would believe that Blue Dream is fluffy not compressed, so it would look like a "dime" or more actually.
-
Was wondering the same thing. Was really excited to try some Blue Dream and thought I'd go with MaskofZardoz after reading this thread. Now, I'm not sure? Been a couple days since I placed my order, no communication or indication of shipping. Been giving him the benefit of the doubt since his profile says ships within one to three days of ordering... tomorrow will be three days. I'm hoping it'll ship tomorrow, I guess we'll see what happens.
-
I ordered some Saturday night, and he marked it as "shipped" today. I think since he is selling .5 samples, he will probably be getting a lot of orders... so just hold out 2 or 3 days for him to process your order.
-
Well, He did respond to my question today, but he did not mention when my order would be shipped... So fingers crossed!
-
Ok, I got another response from him today about my order and this is what he has said:
"So sorry Dark Slayer,
I have just decided to not continue on SR. Your oder has been cancelled and you already have a refund. I'm sure there are other good vendors out there. Good luck! "
...He, Indeed did refund my coins and he was indeed honest about his decision.
-
I personally consider it a giant fucking shame that he closed up shop. I would have loved to see him get a lot more business and the like. But, since he's gone... I'm going to lock this thread.
