I received a sample of the Caviar today.
And I must recommend that you use at least one more vacuum seal layer.
If you ask most people around here. I believe you will find that most agree that 1 ziplock bag and 1 vacuum seal is not enough to hide the smell of high grade marijuana products from canine olfactory glands.
Aside from that. everything seemed to be fine.
The whole caviar thing seems like a great idea and the stuff I got was wonderfully potent. However it was not as well mixed as I had imagined. I think that the oil melted in transit and separated from the bud because it seemed more like a bud dusted in kief with a chunk of budder stuck to the side. This sort of thing seems to be a common issue with shipping various types of cannabis oils. and some people think that it is related to the cargo hold not being pressurized. If this is the case, than you should look into getting the kind of containers that misterwizard uses.
Overall. I would say that this is a great product from a good vendor. But they should work a little bit on their shipping methods
4.5/5

I also received my sample of Caviar and hash today.
Same as DrGonzoII, I pm'ed vendor about using more than 1 vaccuum seal.
Everything else was fine.
I also found the hash to be crumbled and in all, a bit messy. I had to scrape off from plastic ziplock since it was stuck onto it. Not a big deal to me though.
Hash is a little moist and squishy, not sure if this is normal. The caviar looks like the picture he posted in another thread, and does have a lot of keif and whatever else coated on the bud.
I do not have the chance to test it yet, will later tonight or tomorrow and will update accordingly.

And I, as well, received my sample of caviar and wax. I was unable to detect any leaking scent from the usage of just one vac-bag, so I saw no reason to complain. The packaging, then, was to me... perfectly fine. 5/5
I've tried both the caviar and the wax, though I'm going to have to come back to the wax because I kind of fucked up with it. As for the caviar, it does seem like the oil separated a bit, I had one piece that I could have sworn was caviar that turned out to be kief and wax alone.
It's very strong, however. I only took a little, after smoking all day with a friend with huge hits, and it still have made me dumb-founded. So, even at my highest tolerance, it is fucking strong.
The wax was smoked without any ashes in the way, so I'm pretty sure I ended up wasting most of it. I'm also sure that it has also bowled me over with how potent it is. I'll get back to commentary on the wax soon.
The smell of both is a sour/fruity smell, and very strong for the size of the generous sample. :)
On total, 5/5.
-
double vacuum sealed and upgraded shipping containers. check and check! keep the reviews coming guys. the caviar may have been a bad sample product to send out because it is so fragile. i had to break pieces of it off of the larger nugs so this probably caused further separation.
whenever u order a gram of caviar, i will make sure u get nice chunks of it. :)
the potency is quite ridiculous tho, i have to agree the caviar is almost a novelty product for anyone who isn't terminally ill. it floors me every time.

I tried caviar last night. It is very strong as stated, I used very little of it... It was a great, potent high.
My opinion: great product as a treat if you are looking to get super stoned.
-
glad the caviar is holding up to expectations. we also have reviews for our wax in on our vendor page.

Yes. The potency of this stuff can not be emphasized enough.
I am a rather proficient pot-head. But I have barely been able to smoke half of this little nug in the past 24 hours
-
considering the samples were .25 wax .25 caviar. if you got 2 or more high's off the .25 then the price will not seem so extraordinary to people. i under stand that it is 50+ dollars for a lone gram of marijuana but you really have to try this stuff to believe it. We have added half gram listing's of our products so that everyone can get a taste of our fine medical grade gear.
-
Ordered the Honeycomb Wax. This stuff is DANK. Smells so strong and looks like straight bees wax. light colored and crumbly. i'm using a dome and ti nail
Taste: smooth, no chemical taste. pleasant aftertaste
High: energetic, clear headed. 1 hitter quitter. i am soaring high above the clouds ;D
All in all this is some pretty damn good dispensary wax. Vendor stated he is improving his shipping methods so I will be back for more.
Thanks again!

Sorry it took so long to write a review, but here it is.
Received in 2 days or so via Priority. Packaging was okay, mailer got ripped in transit and if it were to slide out of the package it would have been obvious what it was. A color barrier is essential if you are going to use packaging that can be damaged easily. Now to the product. I received a little bit of caviar and some nice chucks of earwax. I started with the caviar first, because of its ease of use. 50mg in the bong and next thing I know I woke up in the morning with some of the best rest I have ever had. Even with my tolerance, this shit tore me up. Now that's something. I could not differentiate the smells from each other because of how they were packed, but they both had a fruity-hashy armoa. Taste was VERY hashy and smooth. Mmm. The was smoked just as well, and a little goes a long way. It is pretty stable, solid at room temp and in your hands so no fridge/freezer needed to play with it. At the prices, I could definitely recommend either of these products to fellow cannabis connisseurs.
[Edit] Gonzo, that "chuck of butter to the side" was your wax sample. I believe TheBoutique was just trying to save on packaging.
-
thanks for the reviews and all the feedback people, packaging has been upgraded! not a complaint on my product qualities so far :)
we even got one "this is the best bud ive ever seen" for our Phishhead OG
-
I gotta CHECK THIS OUT !
send me your link to vendor account.. cuz on SR its looking weird like 42 years old ! lol
-
I just received some of the phish head and I would have to agree that its the best bud I have ever seen as well. The Luca Brasi was also very nice and I'm excited to see what kind of buzz it gives since I've never tried a high CBD strain before. Thanks for the great transaction TheBoutique. What are some of the other strains you have available at the moment?

I placed an order for a gram of the Grape God Caviar on Sunday hoping it would ship on Monday given the good reviews. By the end of the day it hadn't shipped, so I sent a message to TheBoutique asking when it was expected to ship. When I logged on several hours later my order had been cancelled.
They also have this note in their profile: "8/13 Still waiting on reup guys. hold your horses!"
I'm not sure what that means. Are they listing products that they don't have? If so, that's a recipe for disaster.
I messaged them to find out why my order was cancelled. I find that kind of thing from a new vendor with no communication as to why very off-putting. I chose not to order from other vendors with a better track record in order to place my order with TheBoutique. If I had known my order was going to be cancelled, I'd have ordered from another vendor that would have likely gotten my pack shipped out Monday.
They also have this note: "We do not sell to anyone with any auto finalization's. Sorry but we don't need lazy clients who cant pay their tabs once they receive their products. "
So maybe they cancelled my order because of my *1.27%* auto-finalization rate out of nearly 100 orders and nearly 2000BTC in my ~18 months on SR. While new here, TheBoutique should realize and understand that there are reasons for auto-finalizing other that "lazy clients who can't pay their tabs once they receive products" and that such a tiny percentage over such a long time with so many orders doesn't reflect badly on a buyer.
Sure, TheBoutique can make whatever policies they want for buyers but that's a ridiculous and poorly formulated policy.
I had high hopes (punny) for this vendor and the excellent listing of products but this is very disappointing.
-
I don't know the specifics of your situation, but I know from recent conversations with TheBoutique, that he was having issues with numerous buyers not finalizing in a timely fashion. This in turns really ties up a vendor's money.
-
Whatever the situation, there's a big difference in a 1% finalize rate out of 80+ orders and someone with a higher finalize rate on 1/2 or 1/4 that many. In my situation, my ONE auto-finalize came from a legitimate situation from a vendor with a known long-shipping time (on the other side of the planet) in which the order finalized before I received my pack.
Again, vendors can make up whatever arbitrary policies they want and what's much more important than a black-and-white "zero auto-finalize" policy is that the buyer has a good track record over all. I've been using SR since before things ran quite as smoothly as they do now. I've worked to be an active member of the community and always made sure that I've maintained good working cooperation with vendors here. It's a bit of a slap in the face to have an order cancelled by a new vendor over something like this when I try to go the extra mile.

Thats too bad, %1 over many transactions doesn't sound like much to me.
I had high hopes of reading some more good reviews before spending $300.
7 grams of wax/oil would last a long while 8)
Little does this vendor know, I trust Freeman's reports ;) You too CH;)
I think it's a combination of things right now.
Of course the cancel, cost you some coin?

If you can meet their rigorous standards, then don't let me dissuade you from trying them out. Though I appreciate the solidarity. :) There are many reviews about how outstanding the product is and I do feel confident that if my ordered hadn't been abruptly cancelled without explanation they would have lived up to the hype. I've been on a nearly 2 month involuntary tolerance break, and for someone that really relies on the awesomeness of cannabis that's been an eternity. I was looking forward to trying a special treat like the caviar as a "welcome back" from my hiatus.
-
Sorry as CH stated. This is a problem we are having. If you lost coin due to the cancellation. Please pm us and we will refund you SR's fee. Once your finalization rate goes below 1 percent we will be happy to do business with you bro.
In other news, HAD A HORRIBLE FUCKING WEEK with reup and a shitty ass batch of caviar. All is good now though. And we added head band and larry og to the list of waxes we have. Sour Kush caviar at the moment. But only a half ounce right now. Its like 70 percent wax this time. Pretty ridiculous shit. Our chef is purging the butane for the next batch of caviar as we speak.
Sincerely,
TheBoutique
-
how bout a few ounces of actavis and some caviar grap god gram deal ?
-
I was so excited to order what looks like amazing caviar from theBoutique, but two weeks after ordering, and
FINALIZING EARLY
as requested by the boutique,
I have
NOTHING.
His only response to repeated, polite requests to inform me of my order's status have been ignored. After saying i'd leave a review here
he asks for my address but my mailbox is empty yet again.
I'd stay away, and never FE with theboutique. I'll update this if he makes right, but just
LOOK THROUGH ALL HIS FEEDBACK.
and if you feel something's not right, its time to MOVE ON to another vendor.
Damn dude, i really wanted to try your wax after my caviar order. I hope you're legit.
I'll update this thread with my continued experiences.
-
Still nothing from the boutique. No product. No messages.
-
Hi, glad you made it to the end of this thread.
AS OF TODAY, THE BOUTIQUE IS ANSWERING NEW QUESTIONS ON PRODUCTS, but wont tell me why he hasnt shipped mine (or others) orders.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SELLER
-
What's the latest? I have a buddy who put in an order this weekend and was told it would go out Saturday. I'm waiting to see if everyone gets their orders before I put another order in.
-
Dont bother cabbagehead, theboutique is a scammer.... no product yet after his promises.
-
Something seems to be up with this guy. I ordered a small amount of the caviar and it got cancelled after a few days. The seller's profile says "Orders will not be cancelled".. and my buyer account stats are fucking flawless (9 month member, 0% AF, 0% Refund, over a grand in $). Also he hasn't replied to a message questioning the reason for cancellation.
That's a damn shame. I am going to have to talk to some of the dispensary-type vendors I know about sourcing some of the caviar for us here on SR.

MODS SHUT THIS GUY DOWN HE IS SCAMMING EVERYONE NOW
