It's over... Herbal incense has been federally banned

Well I think the incense/spice is over.It's now illegal federally in the USA and they are cracking down hard. You can still get it from some online stores and depending on where you live some locals are still carrying it if you want to take the risk, but I assume that's only temporary. My advice would be to just avoid it.

Down2Earth Climaxxx - Skunk 101 - Fragrant Potpourri [8/10]




Down2Earth Climaxxx Skunk 101 Fragrant Potpourri Review

Scent:
To be honest I don't really remember what it smelled like. I think it was pretty plane.

Taste:
Down2Earth Climaxxx seems to be following the recent trend of not flavoring the potpourri. It does have little green dyed stems but it seems to just be food coloring.

Potency & Length of Effect:
I started out slow and a couple hits gave me a strong effect that lasted about a half hour, maybe a little longer. The downside though was that I seemed to build a high tolerance to it very quickly if you smoke too often.

 Down2Earth Climaxxx Skunk 101
Smell: ?/10 - Don't remember
Taste: 7/10 - Nothing special but not bad
Potency: 8.5/10
Effect: 7.5/10
Length of Effect: 7/10

White Spice Original - Exotic Potpourri Review [8/10]



White Spice exotic potpourri came in the tin pictured above, which was a little different. I got the original, no special scents. The tin above held 3 grams.

Smell:
Pretty bland, kind of a dried plant type of smell. I don't think there's any added scents.

Taste:
The taste wasn't good or bad, like most incense. This was original so I didn't expect much here.

Potency & Length of Effect:
White Spice potpourri is good. A few hits will give you a strong effect that lasts about 30-40 minutes. It gave me cotton mouth too. I was pleasantly surprised by this.

 White Spice Original
Smell: ?/10 - Not much of a smell, just plain
Taste: ?/10 - Same as smell, just bland
Potency: 8/10
Effect: 8.5/10

Fly High FIRE 15x Potpourri Herbal incense Review [8/10] - Kiwi-Strawberry & Blueberry


Fly High FIRE 15x is a decent product that most incense users will like. I bought 2, 5g jars that came both came a little light. One weighed 4.4g and the other 4.2g. The incense is also pretty fluffy but it has a nice effect that makes up for it. Overall it's a nice blend that I would recommend.

Smell:
I got the kiwi strawberry flavor first and it has a very fruity smell. It's OK but nothing great. The blueberry smelled like you'd expect it too and was pretty good.

Taste:
Kiwi-Strawberry: The taste was a little different at first but it's not bad, nothing special here either though.
Blueberry: Better than the kiwi-strawberry flavor was. It tasted like most other blueberry blends.

Potency & Length of Effect:
Fly High FIRE 15x is decently potent and has an effect that lasts up to 90 mins. It comes on strong at first but within the first 30 minutes it drops down to a good buzz and stays there for a while. Overall it has one of the better effects compared to other incense.

Kiwi-Strawberry:
Smell: 6.5/10
Taste: 7/10
Potency: 7.5/10
Effect: 8.5/10
Length of Effect: 8/10

Blueberry:

Primo Herbal Sachet Review - Primo Herbal Incense Review [7/10]



Another Primo product but it's not from the same manufacturer as the other Primo products on this site. I was told this was made by the Cloud 9 company. No surprise there though, as this was very similar to Cloud 9's Mad Hatter, but a little less potent.

Smell:
Just like Cloud 9 Mad Hatter. A minty smell.

Taste:
As far as I know there isn't any other flavors. The bag I got was a little harsh with a menthol like taste. Not too bad though.

Potency & Length of Effect:
Primo's effect was a medium level head high that lasted about 30 mins.

Smell: 7/10
Taste: 6/10

Zombie Matter Ultra Herbal Incense Review - Acid Rain

Zombie Matter Ultra came to me highly recommended by a few people. Maybe I got a bad jar, but this stuff was a let down. I paid $10 for a gram at a local head shop.

Smell:
I have no idea how to describe this smell, it's odd. I've smelled it before but I can't place what it is. Personally I didn' like it and neither did the person I was with.

Taste:
The flavor I got was Acid Rain and it tastes like it smells, but worse, which isn't good. It was pretty harsh and was one of worst tasting incense that I've had. It also left an aftertaste.

Potency & Length of Effect:
Zombie Matter's effect was a pretty mellow body high that lasted about 20 mins. It comes on at its strongest at first but it quickly tapers off after that. Pretty weak.

Smell: 5/10
Taste: 2/10
Potency: 4/10
Effect: 4/10
Length of Effect: 4/10

Brainfreeze Potpourri Review - Blueberry Thrill - Joosy Fruit - Chronic Hypnotic - Groovy Grape



Brainfreeze Potpourri is a good product that should satisfy any smoker. It has a good strong effect that lasts about 45 mins.

Smell:
I had 4 different kinds. Blueberry Thrill which was basically your typical blueberry smell, Chronic Hypnotic which was the typical hypnotic smell with a twist, Joosy Fruit which actually smells like Juicy Fruit gum and Groovy Grape which smelled exactly like that old tape gum grape flavor.
Taste:
All 4 pretty much tasted similar to their smell, with the grape, blueberry and joosy fruit having the most flavor. Not harsh at all and pretty smooth with a slight aftertaste of whatever flavor you are trying.

Potency & Length of Effect:
Brainfreeze potpourri is pretty potent, a few hits and you'll feel it good.  It was a very smooth high that was strong but not too intense. The effect lasted for around 45 minutes in total, coming on strong at first and slowly tapering off. If you smoke enough, you can get pretty baked though.

Smell: 8/10
Taste: 8/10
Potency: 9/10 - (Previously 8/10)
Effect: 9/10
Length of Effect: 7.5/10

Updated Approval: July 13th, 2012
I picked up another small bag of this stuff earlier this week since it's come back around my area and to my surprise, nothing had changed! It's still the same great product. Brainfreeze remains one of the better incense available right now.

White Widow - Platinum Series Potpourri Review





White Widow Platinum was horrible! Probably one of the worst incense I've ever smoked. The incense was dry and full of stems that you had to clean out before you could even use the product. It was also very weak and no matter how much you smoke you can't get anything over a buzz going.

Smell:
To be honest I don't really remember what it smelled like, but it wasn't bad.

Taste:
A pretty smooth taste as long as you pick out all of the stems. It has a bit of an aftertaste though that will last a few minutes,

Potency & Length of Effect:
The effect lasted for around 30 minutes but it was never more than a buzz. White Widow Platinum is very weak. You also have to smoke a lot more of this than you would a normal incense.

Smell: ?/10
Taste: 6/10
Potency: 2/10
Effect: 3/10
Length of Effect: 6/10

Primo Remix Potpourri Review - Berry Blast


Primo Remix potpourri is a great intermediate level incense that most will like.

Smell:
A very berry smell, it reminded me of blueberries. I liked it.

Taste:
A good smooth taste that was similar to blueberries.

Potency & Length of Effect:
The effect lasted for around 45-60 minutes and it gets you pretty high. It doesn't get you super stoned like some of the incense, but it does the job. You have to smoke a little more of this to get the effect, though.

Smell: 8/10
Taste: 8/10
Potency: 7/10
Effect: 7/10
Length of Effect: 7/10

TrainWreck Herbal Potpourri Review - Watermelon




TrainWreck wasn't very good at all... Bottom line, don't buy it.

Smell:
There wasn't much of a smell to it but you could smell a little bit of fruitiness.

Taste:
Very harsh, one of the worst tasting incense that I've had yet,

Potency & Length of Effect:
TrainWreck lasted for about 45-60 mins but it never really took off. I could never get more than a good buzz going, it just wasn't very potent.

Smell: 5/10
Taste:2/10
Potency: 5/10
Effect: 5/10
Length of Effect: 7/10

King Karma Xtreme - Herbal Incense Review




Overall, King Karma Xtreme reminded me of a mix between Aztec Warrior AKA Red Eye and Cloud 9 Mad Hatter. They recently upgraded there 1g bags to 1.5g.

Smell:
The smell is similar to Cloud 9 Mad Hatter, it has a smilar minty smell, but also different, 

Taste:
Not the best, not the worst. It doesn't really have any flavoring in it.

Potency & Length of Effect:
As with most incense around now, the effect is only about 30-45 mins long. This stuff is potent and you'll be good on a couple of hits at first. If you've smoked Aztec Warrior, this is slightly less potent then that but it has a similar intense high.

Price:
I think I'm going to start leaving this out from now on since the prices vary so much around the nation. Locally this stuff is $20/g but online seems to run about $15/g. There's probably some cheaper, just look around.

Smell: 6.5/10
Taste: 7/10
Potency: 8.7/10
Effect: 8.5/10
Length of Effect: 6.5/10
