..waited 36hrs and a few tasters before writing this hybrid review/enquiry..

I’ve smoked hash for nearasdammit 40yrs, and have been aware of temple balls all that time. This is my first time trying them though.

I understood - perhaps incidentally - temple balls were slow-burned in the temples to, er.. “improve the ambience” as it were.. if that’s the case, explains the clove/cinnamon oil cut/contaminant/enhancement, if that’s what it is.

On arrival, scratch test: unusual greeny hue under the typical dark chocolate oxidised layer, but the sniff-after-scratch left me scratching my head; no hash smell! Clove’ish? Definitely. Cinnamon’ish? Somewhat. Undertone of faint chocolate even? Possibly. But no hashy smell.

At this stage I was beginning to wonder if I’d been burned on this score. So I decided to skin up and find out.

Definitely a heavy stone. That said I’m heavy handed 🤣. Presumably indica. I say that because I don’t normally feel a “night/day” distinction between sativa/indica, but this one is not conducive to action and interaction, that’s for sure. Assuming it’s either indica or sativa at all. Fuck knows!

So.. conclusion: it gets you stoned, no question, but it’s something new and head-scratchy for an experienced old-school hash fiend, so I’m lfeeling still not 100% sure what it is. Left wondering if I’m misunderstanding something.
