In case y'all missed it on our subforum, Black Bag should be available again tomorrow afternoon sometime. Look for it at store.bulakavahouse.com under the name "Nambawan".

Black Bag, now Nambawan, is available on our site now. It was momentarily only available as 1/2 kilo but I have now added the 1/4 kilo option. This is a pretty stellar batch.

Alright, I got in on the order this time. Hooray!



... now how do I answer to/hide this from my wife having just bought a bunch of kava.

Yes! This stuff was awesome. I can't wait. We are collectively an extremely odd group of folks; I've seen very few people get this excited over a root.

@ Ed -You were framed...nay...victimized! Fortunately the perpetrators were caught as they were fleeing the country. The authorities simply forgot to confiscate the evidence of this transgression. The saddest part is...once you drink it all...they'll have to release them for lack of evidence. (smiley: tired)

I was trying create a topic, but I keep getting an error. I figured I can ask here, since it is about Black Bag.



Being a complete kava noob, I was wondering if the Black Bag kava would be too strong. I am not worried about ODing or anything like that, but would it be better to get my feet wet with a few different roots, or just dive into the deep end with Black Bag? I will be placing an order with Bula Kava House in the next day or two.



Thanks.

Honestly your better off just going with a basic root untill you've worked through your reverse tolerance. Black bag is fire but if your not through the reverse tolerance it will likely be disapointing. The same thing applies to all blinged out specialty kavas like N@H's wow! or paradises's isa, they are awesome and worth the price, but more for seasoned kava drinkers.



You've got the right idea with bula though, I'd say get a kilo of something like borogu which has a good amount of kavain and DHM or melo melo which is high kavain and low DHM and power through your reverse tolerance. Fu'u would probably be good for a n00b as well. It wouldn't be a bad idea to buy the black bag while it's in stock as it lasted about 7 hours last time and took months to come back, but hold off on drinking untill kava gets you krunk every time you drink it.

I would save your money until you get past the reverse tolerance aspect. If I had made my first cigar a $60 one I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have known any different than a $2 one. Get past the reverse tolerance, learn how to appreciate kava in general, then start toying with the primo stuff.

Thanks for the fast replies. I was thinking along the same lines, but I'm sure you know how tempting it can be to go for the gusto when you're starting out. Being a self-proclaimed connoisseur of other herbs, beers, and teas, I can totally relate to the cigar analogy.



I was leaning towards getting 2 of the cheaper kavas. That way I can try low DHM and high DHM kavas to see what I prefer.



Thanks again for the insight
UPDATE:
Ordered 1/2 Kilo of Fu'u and a 1/2 Kilo of the Black Bag from BKH.  They were out of the Bogoru, so I ordered some from N@H.  I won't be using the Black Bag right away, but I figured I should order some incase it doesn't come back around anytime soon.
Hopefully the reverse tolerance doesn't last too long, and this time next week I will be sunk in my couch with a coconut cup or two.
Thanks again.
