2000 cases of 6 [of Kübler] just arrived in the United States TODAY! They are to be released in October in the following markets:

Vegas - first week of October
New York - around the middle of October
Boston - towards the end of October



Mhhh...I wonder why they think absinthe would be big in Vegas?

I bet there won't be any clowns featured in the marketing campaign.
Crosby
Butt there should be.
artemis
Evil clowns.

Throwing cyanide cream pies.

Las Vegas, my ass.

What about New Orleans?
Louched Liver
It's the new
Vegas?
Porkio
I think it's funny Boston is on the list. Maybe they'll serve Absinthe at Fenway. They'll call it "The Green Monster". Except Kubler is white...
Louched Liver
They've been known
to be high on whitey
in Beantown.

Vegas never drowned.

Don't tell that Wynn fucker about, N O, he'll buy the whole city.
jaded prol
Maybe someone should put it Ebay. Then again, maybe they could build a NOLA set in Vegas, it would be cheaper than the Venetian.

Lots of college xits up here,
I fear the worst.
Louchelooker
Well I can't wait to get mine.
Louched Liver
Isn't that why
you got married?

Nahhh,
he's married so his wife could get his.

Nice she let's you
out, Loogie, for
your 5 minutes of
posting/week.
Kirk
And we live for the snittyness.
Louchelooker
She didn't let me out.
I'm sneaking out for
a few mins while she's
asleep. Shhhhh, don't
wake her up or I'll pay.
Louched Liver
Like the rest
of us?
Bumpferret
I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snitty.

Snitty?
Louched Liver
Shitty,
in your case.
Bumpferret
Better than sploogy I guess, coming from Abe Froman "The Sausage King."
Louched Liver
Um, wha'?

I asked a person involved with bringing Kubler to the US why Lucid seemed to move so much faster through the approval process. Kubler has a low thujone count but within tolerance levels (under 10ppm). Lucid has no thujone at all. Wonder how Ned made the stuff?
absinthist
The 53 version if it had not been modified down the way to America is 8 mg/l. LuXit, according to what the others say, is also below 10 mg/l, personally, reading the reviews, I give it around 6 mg/l.

Also, it might be interesting wheter the strong badiane profile was changed especially for the American market or not.

For TTB no thujone=<10 mg/l, whereas in EuroFuckyLand it is the second gate.

How LuXit was quicker than K remains the main question right now.
Stroller
Lucid wasn't just under 10ppm. It has no thujone at all. That's why it was approved so quickly.

When Lucid was approved there were calls to the TTB asking what was going on.

No thujone at all and you get approved fast (by their standards).
Kirk
Kubler tastes like burnt cotton candy
Lucid tastes like diesel fuel,
pick your poison or make your own.
absinthist
Indeed. K is stronger ouzo, LuXit ain't absinthe or mebbe demi-fine. End of story.
Stroller
Kubler needs to age. The bottle I have improved quite a bit after sitting a year.
Louched Liver
I've sat for 50.

I still suck.
Kirk
Well, at least for the booze part, I can't imagine it improving much.

Stroller

you were lied to my friend and by someone affiliated with a brand. any absinthe approved in the usa must be thujone free which means that it needs to be 10 ppm or less. lucid as kubler are both "thujone free" but both have levels of thujone just under 10 ppm

Thanks for clearing that up for everyone...

Kubler has less than 10ppm. Lucid was required to have zero, not under 10ppm. I don't think their attorney had any reason to lie about it.

It comes naturally.

Who is this person with whom you spoke? What is his name? He's the lawyer for Kubler?
sixela
Ah, rumours. I've heard other rumours that Lucid has some thujone - which would make sense given they certainly use wormwood.

I still don't like it; it's the Reader's Digest version of absinthe. But there's no need to spread rumours about that ;).

Are you talking homeopathic quantities again?
Speedle
Stroller, that's fine, believe what you want but you were still given incorrect information. He didn't lie, Kubler hasn't lied, and neither has Ned. All possible because, as has now been officially clarified by the TTB, less than 10 = ZERO. End of story.

If, on the other hand, you insist on believing otherwise, all you're doing is selling Czeckerland assbinth for them, to wit:

Accodring to a post on a web forum there is a big difference between Lucid Absinthe & Kubler (both available in the USA). The reason why Lucid was first off the block, according to the post, is that it contains NO THUJONE whatsoever:

Lucid wasn’t just under 10ppm. It has no thujone at all. That’s why it was approved so quickly. When Lucid was approved there were calls to the TTB asking what was going on.No thujone at all and you get approved fast (by their standards).

My sources tell me that the kuubler ambulance chaser is a scumbag piece of Xit.
In addition to being a liar.

Or yeah, could be that too.
