So as stated in the above post we visited Dampkring Original just after midnight a couple of weeks back. We had a very wild, funny, exciting, freaky and semi-weird (in the most wonderful ways) evening the night before (that story will probably be told elsewhere
), so we were a little tired and looking for something to eat and a place to smoke afterwards. Having spent the day mostly smoking, chillaxing and letting the sweet afterglow of the night and evening before carry us through the day we chose Cannibal Royal for a late night meal and Dampkring for the after dinner smoke.
The place was pretty packed, but the wait wasn’t long and the BTs were in a good mood and responsive. Considering the time of night and the heavy bass pounding just outside from the pride street party around the corner, they might have been in much worse of a mood.
It is never easy deciding on a single buy at Dampkring, two is usually hard too, the menu is just that large and packed with very nice looking stuff. The Rifman hashes alone are well worth a visit, there are a lot of interesting new school stuff and the weed menu is also very solid. Only beef would be the prices which in some cases could do with a little knock down, but the again the location, quality and popularity of the place could be argued to merit a little premium on the prices, this is not Boer West out in the Baarsjes...
This time around we had the Kosher Kush (IWRC, as stated DLN with his superpowers of stoned weed memory may correct us) and the Niqa. Mr. CC may also have bought something more (he tends to be unable to control himself when confronted with such a smorgasbord of top quality products). The Kosher Kush was a good deal better tasting and slightly stronger than the one from Easy Times, but Mr. CC typing didn’t smoke so much of it so the specifics will have to be left to DLN if he can be arsed).
The Niqa is, as stated above, a very fine smoke. Taste is clean but powerful, and so are the effects! We had so many great and varied Moroccan classic as well as new school so it is hard to rate them individually against each other, but the Niqa was at the very top for classics.
The shop itself is spacious, nicely kept and well decorated; there are many options for seating, either at the bar, at a table or in the window (where you are very likely to encounter the latest version of the Dampkring cat, possibly the most stoned kitty in existence). Mrs. CC comments that the window and bar area close to the windows are some of the only such places (“exposed near windows in a shop) where she does not in the slightest way feel on display like “a monkey in a cage”. She can’t tell if it is the location or other factors, but it seems to be one of the only places where people don’t tend to “point and stare”.
The service is efficient and usually friendly, although they at busy times can get a little too “professional”.
At 20 to 1 we had the pleasurable experience of one of the larger staff members (bald guy) giving a little performance, clearly a routine he has, announcing loudly and repeatedly (and in a dutch accent) that “it is close to one, coffeeeshops close at one, get your weed, get your weed! Coffeeshops are closing, get your weed ladies and gentlemen!”.
All in all Dampkring is well worth a visit, especially in the late or generally not so busy hours.
