This is a review for Baroso a German vendor..
He hasn't been on SR very long only a couple of weeks and so is getting started. His prices are real low and I don't know if this will continue or whether its until he can attract some buyers and establish himself. In any case he was offering great prices on his weed, C99.. 5g for 6.50BC. This was my first time ordering weed and I was a bit worried about buying overseas but there isn't much decent weed available from UK vendors so I decided to go for it after making my choice carefully and researching some strains. I made sure Baroso packaged properly and he assured me there would be no smell and it would be done proper. He replied real quick too and had no problems using encrypted messages.
I placed the order at the weekend on Sunday and he shipped it the very next day on Monday. No messing around! He shipped it priority Airmail and it came today..that's 3 days from Germany to UK, very quick! I was expecting to wait 5 days so the early delivery was a pleasant surprise.
The package looked totally professional.. a jiffy bag with printed address label and inside the weed was double vac packed (sealed professionally) just like he said it would be. Didn't look suspicious in any way and felt just like a normal flat package. Didn't have to sign for it. The only criticism I would make about the packaging is that the jiffy bag is see through if you hold it up to sunlight and you could see the shape of the weed through the paper as the vac pack was clear plastic.
The weed itself was beautiful. Nicely trimmed and cured with a strong lemony citrus aroma. Absolutely packed with sticky buds! looked just like C99 is supposed to look..text book quality. Weighed it on scales and it was overweight by 30% weighing in at 6.6g..(I got me one of those super accurate pocket scale that does milligrams).. Amazing just how much you get for 5g.
The smoke test...real smooth nice smoke and very potent!! Only 0.2g gave me a very nice cerebral high and some physical relaxation..been recovering from a bad knee and this has helped alleviate the stiffness. Everything you would expect from C99..feel very uplifted and mentally motivated to work. Very nice clean high that I would happily smoke to work or socialise with.
Have no worries with Baroso I will definitely buy from him regularly. We need more decent weed vendors so he's a valued newcomer and I whole heartedly recommend him. He may be new on SR but he is a professional vendor.

THX. gives me a great feeling about my package tomorrow ;)
-
Baroso did a fast shipment and the weed is fine.
Its a but sticky and untrimmed, but the weight was way more than i ordered, so no complaining here.
The high is nice.
My recommendations.
-
Thank you for your assessments.
We have still a lot of strains in reserve.
The price from 1 bitcoin per g is not an introduction price. We will hold this price, because we expect that bitcoins will rise.
-
10+ for Baroso !!!!
but please treat your weed well ;) dry & ferment it slowly !!!
...'cause it's damn good stuff !!
-
Glad to hear the price won't shoot up...Baroso is the man for weed at these prices and service, without doubt.
For those interested, I've done a full review of the C99 strain on a separate forum post here:

This is very cool weed with a definite trippy feel to it.. I'm eager to buy some other strains and post more experiences =)

Read this in his feedback :
"Fast and overweight, nice-smelling and tasting bud. Discreet and smell-proof packaging, very professional.
One thing: it seems as it wasn't shipped from Germany but another country in the EU."
Do I have to be worried it's from NL and I will get raped by customs AGAIN?
-
its from former germany "Austria" :)

its from former germany "Austria" :)
Even better! :)
Thanks for quelling my fears.
-
I would also like to recommend Baroso.
- He is very quick (ok, I am Austrian, too, so the package wasn't long in the mail, but still)
- Good packaging
- very nice prices
- VERY generous weighing, I think I got a 40g "oz" (or even more, not easy to weigh on the microscale)
- Good product (might be a little drier, but that is whining on a very high level ;) )
I will definitively come back, and back, and back :)
-
Haha. Didn't arrive all week and by friday I was a bit worried but it did show up!
My "ounce" weight almost 37g after removing sticks. I am very pleased. :D

Thats great! I knew there was some thought behind your low prices.
-

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D love it !!!
...and the weed is nice also !
-
Might buy some too soon :D I hope they are as good as everyone says. :D
-
Baroso gets 5/5 stars from me.
A lot of bang for the buck!

Hi!
I want to say to my customers: Thank you!
Unfortunatly I have to stop my shop. Why? I am a victim of my success. There is a customer, who bought already big amounts from me. Now he wants to buy all of my weed. He asked me to reserve all I have. Because he is a very good and trustworthy customer, I will meet his desire.
If all goes well, we plan to open the shop again in the autumn.
Summery: we had a lot of contacts and orders in the last weeks. More than 180 orders were successfully till now, only 3 customers claimed not arriving. I think this is a very good rate, considering that we accepted new customers without reputation. I think SR is a very good idea, it works. Thank you SR! I know we had the best prices here on SR and one of the best quality; this was our intention. I am proud, that I was a part of this revolution.
Peace, Baroso
-
It's a shame that no listings are up any longer, best price/quality ratio on SR. I was just about to order more. Anyway, great work.
-
This is sad, just ordered my first 5g off Baroso and was looking forward to using him a lot. At least I got in there before he closed :)
-
mine never arrived :(
-
Life sucks :(
-
So Baroso's back and his reviews are a bit mixed.
Some say his weed's good while others say it's okay and a bit too moist.
He didn't want to create a sample listing of 20g for me so I could try it out, and I'm not super excited to buy 50g and regret it later.
Can anyone post a review of his new batch?
Pics would be great
And btw what's the difference between his 2 strains?
-
im in the same boat mate, some people saying the weed is wet and pretty poor and some raving about it. For the price i highly doubt its going to be anything better than ok but just want to see some pics, he doesn't even describe it on the ads or the page. Not handing over any BTC without even knowing what to expect.

Just got my pack from Baroso this time around- Arrived bricked as hell. I mean you could probably knock someone out with this shit... Also, I had to sign for the package which I probably wouldn't have minded so much if he had TOLD ME AHEAD OF TIME. So, I was surprised, and not so happy, but it worked out.
Weed is indeed a bit sticky and untrimmed, but was slight overweight even after removing sticks and leafs. So, for cost I would say it's still a decent value, just don't expect that nice AA or AAA bud we get from across the ocean. :P Smell is nice, not great, but the buds are a little underdeveloped and small... More like what I have come to know as 'mids'- good weed, but mass produced, so just doesn't have the nice edge that comes with proper handling and care. Rolling a j now, so might have more to add later.
I had asked for half each of the two strains, but I just got one brick- not sure what it is, so can't help there...

Rekon anyone could upload a picture of the bud? Would certainly help me making my mind up! Cheers

This is after a good bit of pruning and then 24h in the Orange Zest Machine (TM) to fluff the buds a little. Worked. They are OK... just factor in that you will lose some weight once the leafs and sticks are removed, and the bud is dried/cured properly. I ended up with about 10% of total weight that I trimmed up; will save for cooking materials.
Smoke test: was also OK, not great. Earthy taste, as expected from decent outdoor. A little bit cloudy headed high, I think because the buds are just still so fresh... hoping a couple weeks in jars will mellow them a bit. Still, for the price and since we don't have so many options for bulk in EU, I think it's OK. Certainly on par with what I see on the street here that sells for much more. Locally options are shit. So just depends what you are looking for.
-
why is he already out of stock again?
-
I have contacted him yesterday (24 hours ago roughly) already, no reply.
But what wonder? It is really not easy to get decently priced weed in the EU, especially
now that Swazi is on holiday, too ;)
-
i also got no response...
but swazis weed was way worse then barosos! no real alternative for me and i dont know any other bulk vendor.

I have ordered a few grams off Baroso in mid Januari 2013. It came swiftly with decent stealth. The weed ("The Ultimate") is a bit compressed, at least for small packet mail, and it is quite dark green. It did have slightly purple colours and what not. Smell of the bud was quite fresh, zesty but not too strong and stinky. The high of this bud is actually quite decent. It is not the best but it is above standard locally, for me, and it comes overweight and cheap.
I believe Baroso is an excellent vendor, simply just easily misunderstood. Hopefully, I will be able to make a 100 g order from Baroso within this month! Very much looking forward to this, Sir.
Can I ask, why is this thread so inactive?
