Absinthe aficionados, halp!

[Keyser Soze]

I remember drinking that shit all night with Eric while @ some hole in the wall gimmick in downtown.

I remember drinking it...but not much about the rest of the night. Fuckin a'

its not the kind that makes you hallucinate

eric will go on & on in this thread (which i didn't read all the way) about how he is an expert on absinthe that can be purchased in america or shipped to american consumers.

he will argue until he is blue in the face that what he has consumed is just licorice flavored booze.

well i am here to tell you that there is REAL absinthe in the world. you cannot get it here legally & the post office will not ship it to you legally either.

however, if you are ever in amsterdam or know a clever person returning from such place... the real deal will make you trip like fungus.

and before eric says it (again) i was not drunk. i have never been so drunk that i saw the ceiling dripping and everything glowed with a green halo. everything was really pretty. i was really happy & dreamy. oh man it was fun. like i woke up the next day & everything still looked skewed.

you HAVE to do the flaming sugar trick to get the chemical reaction though. dunno why but it makes a difference in intensity.

(NOTE, it's Nothing like Tabu absinthe)

I've had the Taboo Gold, I'm sure regular Taboo isn't too far off.

I'm sorry but that is a major FAIL, that hollywood has made popular.
Lighting the sugarcube was rarely(if EVER) done back in the day.

Absinthe, sugar cube, ice cold water over the cube. That is the classic, original way to imbibe it.
And if you tripped off absinthe, someone spiked it with some good shit.
And be wary of any brand that boasts high thujone content. Pre-ban absinthe didn't have extremely high thujone content (tests have been done to prove this, google it). Too much thujone and you'll end up having a seizure.

www.absinth24.net this where i was ordering my absinthe from religiously weekly for 3 years straight, I loved the Absinthium 1792 personally.

there's a few 50% 100% wormwood, a lot of 30%-40% and lots around 10%-20% on that site.

It's real wormwood and it's all legal to purchase, go read up on your laws about it before you start making shit up again suze.

oh and the flaming sugar cube thing gets you more fucked up cause it's even more sugar in it, but the water is supposed to bring out more of the herbs and flvaors, but i don't care for water or sugar cube personally (well only have a sugar cube if it's biter absinthe).

Honestly that story you told sounds like something RIGHT out of a movie, most absinthe is 150 proof, which will get you fucking tanked within two glasses. (well most people anyways)

Now unless the countless bottles i bought are all lying then I don't know. Sona also brought back some homemade absinthe from Taiwan a couple years back that was loaded with wormwood, still saw nothing.

I mention Lucid cause it taste fairly good, not too sweet and not biter at all (some biters are pretty good though) and it's not too expensive.

I've never liked Kublar (Davinci) personally.
