Is this from TGT ? Just got mine and looks completely different. The one arrived today is not a good quality hashish.. Its hard and smells like old school contaminated hash.

Jman, when did you post this?

I find that old school smell good. I don't think it's a contaminated smell personally. The bit I got this last week looks a bit smoother, not quite as lumpy but still nice

Fyi this post is months old and it doesn't reflect whatever the current batch is.

More ace shots, china. The colour is not the ochre of TGTs images either. As Tintin says, the 70s Leb was certainly a red colour. As the gold was a yellow.
Course, this is all academic. The proof is in the puff.
Curiously, I have had two funny Leb experiences, one with Red, One with Gold. I was in a consortium which took receipt of 2 Kilos of Red leb. It was a fuck up from start to finish. Two boneheads collected the gear without smoking it. Turns out to be crap. Good colour, nothing untoward about the appearance, no fragrance, even when burnt. I took a hit. One chap buried his deal and it may still be in the ground today for all I know. Another lad, who had bought a pipe with a bowl the size of a bucket, spent the day blazing it, to little avail.
I tried a few things then passed it on to a couple of mates to have a go. One of them crushed up 1/2 oz. of the mess and got it down his neck on route to The Venue in Victoria to see Lou Reed. Part way through the set, he was grumbling about tummy ache. On the way home he was clutching his gut and cussing us out for taking the piss.
some few years later, I was invited to score some Gold Leb from an aquaintance and turned up at his place. He was a nice guy, a closet gay who was jittery and skittish. What I got was a great big lump of this sandy yellow moonrock. All right! However, it had the density of the thin end of FA. It was like holding a pingpong ball. I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable as it seems that he was genuinely trying to be a dealer, but this was, to the initiated, shite. I cut the dal with him and left. A while later, I heard that he had set off on The Pot Trail to India et al. He was back after a week having been left penniless by a couple of train ticket mushes who intimidated him into buying another ticket, having refused to accept the valid one that they had taken from him.
Anyway, (cor, that Afghani's good. I've been rabbiting on for hours on here.) Anyway. It showed that dark shiny streak when you cut it through. It crumbled under heat and did turn me on. What was different to anything else I've piped, the ash had a gritty sediment in it, like maybe fine sand.

Thanks dude! It really helps for a fellow biggie to share their experience so its always appreciated.

Leb tends to come in either blonde or red, and this isn't blonde so..... :)
The stuff I was getting 30 years back was definitely more red than the modern ones I've seen though..

I’m near sure there’s two leb’s red seal and gold seal but that memory is old

That was black - red and gold seal black. I used to sell it over 30 years ago...how time flies!

It’s just I remember specifically remember two types of Lebanese red and gold... plus the Afghan gold...had a wee look to see there on google ;) check it out

I checked out google but only leb I could see referred to as 'gold' is the blonde leb.

It may well be just my childhood in London, but it was definitely red leb only back then for me, no choices. But black came in 'red seal' or 'gold seal' versions, the gold being slightly higher quality.

In the last few years though I've gotten a few blonde lebs, but I never saw them back in the day - though of course I'm sure they will have exsisted!

Hanging on some old forums and getting posts from similar aged people:
"i started in the late 80's and yeah the soapbar was good back then. there was some good black hash/red seal too with gold stamps on the 2 kilo slabs 'camel challenge' was one i remember. soap type hash pressed into slates the we called 'passport'.

i liked the red leb that came in the cloth sacks"

Seems like we had similar stuff on offer all over London :)

You’re showing your age lol I only ever heard about it coming in wrapped in muslin

When I did a search there it mentions there’s red and gold leb, red being more ripe

Can’t post a link in case I get a ban warning lol

The ban thing sux :)

I know they still come in muslin bag (white) as a vendor called 'psychadeli' on emp (RIP) had his lebs wrapped in this traditional way still - took me back 35 years..

I'm going to have to try these old school flavours again, but I've got to try and stop spending every two minutes too :)

just wanted to say this was some of the nicest hash ive had in years. very earthy and real tasting, like a nice bit from years ago, the taste brought me back atleast a decade or so. the gold seal was nice too.

Not sure how old this post is but i had a few bits of this an it really is a blast from the past an a pleasure to smell taste an smoke

Pics are about 5 months old in Feb 2021

Imho, similar effects, similar quality, ive had the leb 4 or 5 times now and it has a deeper hash flavour compared with the gold seal. You can just about see it trying to bubble when putting a flame to it.

Dont know why other comments say black? (Red seal)
The afghan is gold seal not squidgy black.

For me the high is quite functional yet relaxing without putting you on your arse.(unless you over do it).
A very nice effect overall.

Would love to order from hashishin but im para about shipping from overseas.

Shame he cant get a middle man set up here for domestic mail.

Got both over the last while.oh the memories!!I really liked them both but for me the red leb is bang on what I was hoping for.lovely bit of nostalgic hash.mid to deep stone with a nice smooth and flavoursome smoke.its pliable enough if you have the finger nails but also a little heat does the job fine.the black is really nice too but in my opinion a little milder then the red.To be honest its really down to personal preference.I highly recommend trying both like i did.a very nice treat for xmas for a very happy stoner : )

I've tried both ... and the libanese traditional too. I think they are medium/low quality and the price High.

they are both a hit from the past, enjoy now.

Good call. Grab Old School Weed when you can get it. Grab one or both of these authentic clay's now, because you can get it now. This is an uncommon opportunity for new Adventurers to have a different buzz from a good weed buzz, and for Potheads to enjoy like, the fragrance of the smoke, thick and white, the olfactory nerve stimulating a momentary full sense experience of the time you last smelt this as familiar.
Right. And that's me just eating a piece of RL that I got this morning.

Hi Melody, personally I’ve always preferred black and if ever it was around I’d be mad keen to get it. I’ve got both the Leb and Black from TGT and neither would disappoint. For me, I think the Leb has the edge although I do like the Afghan Black. The stone from the Leb was a wee bit heavier after a joint or 2 so I don’t seem to smoke as much. If you were to smoke them joint for joint ones not likely to disappear any quicker than the other. Both go a long way if you know what I mean. It’s a hard call. Be nice to yourself and buy a wee bit of both of you can ;) R.

Wise words Rogan and thanks for the insight. I think I’m going to start with the black - and that’s purely because I’m preferring the softer more subtle highs these days for a weekday smoke, and because I like hash I don’t have to put a lighter to. Doubtless I’ll be back for the Red Leb after payday! Just great to have this choice after all these years. It’s the hashes and landraces that really excite me about LB.

Hi Melody happy new year!! If like any proper old School hash look no further than HASHISHIN he’s direct from the Middle East I’ve purchased numerous times and can truly vouch for him!! Proper old School

Also interested in this. Got the Afghan myself and its a lovely smoke so wondering whether to reorder more of this or try the leb.

if you haven't tried the red yet i highly as high as i am recommend it.very nice

In an ideal world I’d want both myself but I’ve had the chapo and the lemon amnesia from TGT and the Honey Moroccan from 420. Can’t justify two more - especially as I’m waiting for more old school weed to come back in stock!

Struggling here too. Haven’t got the budget for both. Edging towards the Gold, for sentimental reasons.

A picture says a thousand words. For some reason tgt's photos never do their products justice. Some weird colour and lighting issues. UK 420 his pictures tell you all you need to know.

Can’t call them out publicly with out a back story pal, TGT have always been spot on for me

I was gifted an 8th of the Red Leb, and will agree with you, BarbelHunter! It is very smooth and relaxing :) 3rd hash I've had off TGT in total, and they were very well produced!

Thanks for reviewing this, never tried Leb myself but will give it a go if still available when I place my next order.

agree, nice puff and the black not bad as well:)

Got sent some of the Red Leb :) smokes up lovely :) Thanks for the heads up! :D

This is good news! I have been eying up the Red Leb for a few days! Been a while since I had some hash in My smoking box :D
