View Full Version : Absinthe
Tha Playa 05-10-2005, 03:56 PM Alright alcholics, I need some help. I want some of this stuff. I've found a few places online that sell it and will ship it here to the US, but I want to make sure I'm getting the real stuff, not the fake ****. I have been told that I just need to make sure it has wormwood in it and not "essence of wormwood". Is this correct?
yeah its right, ore you could just add warmwod of your own.
i recomend spanish absinth, strong, real warmwood and tastes real good.
Talk to Leather, he might be able to hook you up....
joeboxer 05-10-2005, 04:24 PM I'm sorry to say that I lived in Europe for 6 months and had Absinth between 20-25 times before I got the real truth.
There is no more real Absinth. Unless you make it yourself (home-made) style. If any of the stuff you are looking at looks like it comes from legit-name brand companies it isn't real.
Although even though its fake it might still be worth trying for a serious alchoholic. The fake stuff tastes like black-licorice and has a powerfull odor (very hard to get down). It does give you a slightly different kind of drunk though. I would compare it to drinking a bottle of Nyquil, and then popping a lot of Advil, adding maybe 1 hit of Marijuana. (If you want this effect you will have to drink alot of it.)
Good luck if you get some, and tell us how it goes.
Tha Playa 05-10-2005, 04:35 PM I was looking at this site http://www.spiritscorner.com/
I hope you're wrong about it not being around anymore. Leather needs to tell me the deal. I have heard two different places that the real stuff comes from, Spain or the Czech Republic. It seems like everyone has a different idea or opinion on it everywhere you go. I just hope to get some or the real stuff so I can decide for myself.
Purity 05-10-2005, 05:13 PM sheep****er should have some good insight. me & albert wanted to get a bunch too. she told me that everytime you order it from the States you have a 50/50 chance of it getting confiscated @ customs.
Tha Playa 05-10-2005, 05:40 PM Guess I'll have to order two bottles then.
Tha Playa 05-11-2005, 10:27 AM ttt for the sheep****er
Mr. Beelzebub 05-11-2005, 10:48 AM Spaniard was suppossed to send me a bottle of Absinthe, I doubt he ever did.
I have checked with some ********* friends and all of them say that the absinthe sold in websites is f'n caca. And smuggling it through customs is hard, but not impossible.
Mr. Beelzebub 05-11-2005, 10:49 AM "3urotr4sh" got filtered? WTF?!

well my babbinka (cz for grandma) gave me a bottle for christmas, they sell it in cz and spain but the spanish tastes a lot better.
its with warmwood its just less than in the old day, just get some spanish and add more warmwood.
absinth will make you drunk in a new way.
Tha Playa 05-12-2005, 04:08 PM Ok ? Where do I get extra warmwood?
Leather 05-12-2005, 04:42 PM Absinthe...mmmm...yes, Spiritscorner is the best choice, I buy absinthe at their shop in Barcelona, if you order one marc (?) try to get "Montañà", it's my fav, avoid the coloured absinthes (a lot of alcohol but nothing special). The next I'm going to buy is Julian Segarra, it looks good...
Lo siento Bubuardo, se me fué la cabeza, pero trankilo que tengo todavía tu dirección...lo prometido es deuda, pedazo puta!!
Mr. Beelzebub 05-12-2005, 04:47 PM Lo siento Bubuardo, se me fué la cabeza, pero trankilo que tengo todavía tu dirección...lo prometido es deuda, pedazo puta!!
Aja... Gracias putilla.

If that last part is for me, someone please translate, if not nevermind. So leather, you reccomend buying Montana online? I just want to make sure i get the kind that has opium or whatever it is that is supposed to make hallucinate before you get too drunk from it. Thanks for the input everyone.

Not entirely true. There is real stuff and you can order it from the Czech republic. That's where the stuff I've had comes from. And yes you can order it online.
Shaolin Bushido 08-03-2005, 03:17 PM So, I was readin about this **** somewhere and did ya'll know it's typically mixed with water(that causes it to turn milky white) and that it's greenish before that?
It's addictive as **** too but I'm guessing you droogies knew that.

You are Christopher ****ing Columbus, aren't you?
Just joking, n00b. No need to flip out and throw your web TV keyboard and your TV.
Yes, Absinthe is mixed with water and sugar since it's extremely bitter.
Yes it is green... That might be way they call it the "Green Fairy"
I had some Absinto in South America, but it turned out to be nothing more that some green liquor... If it wasn't 'cause of the free coke I would have gotten madder than a mofo.
I want a few bottles of that stuff, but I dont know where to get it.
The Troll 08-03-2005, 03:25 PM You have to order the **** from Spain or Bohemia and it can get snatched in costums. I dont think its legal in any state in the US. Leather has a website that solicits it.

That is what I figured. I know you can order it overseas, but the customs thing is a slight problem.
rocco1252 08-03-2005, 03:38 PM I've Tried Ordering It A While Back And It Was Not A Done Deal It Was Fake **** And Alittle Upsetting Considering The Price You Pay For It And They Tell You It's The Real Thing. I Would Have To Agree That It's Not Around Atleast The Real Thing But I Havent Been Over Seas Let Me See Since Ahhh Never So I Dont Know! Good Luck To You Though I Read That It Makes You Crazy So I Wanted Some Haha
jatt the ripper 08-03-2005, 07:41 PM me and my mates made friends with these bar tenders in greece. They made their own abisinth, as did most other bars, and well my freind s ordered a couple of shots and i tell you ive never seen them so ****ed. it's a drink for a real man/women who can thier drink.
also if you any of you ever go to india, meet someone who seems to like their drink and ask about DESI. it has a reputation beyond repute and GUARNTEED to **** you up.
I drive to the Czech Republic once or twice a year to buy cheap cigarettes and absinth. The one I usually get is called "Absinthium 1792". If you can get this one you should be fine.
