Toast Emerald Review: Tried & Tested Against 12 Other Brands

Summary

I tested Toast Emerald CBD cigarettes alongside 11 other CBD cigarette brands in the market. I researched all 12 companies, looked at lab reports, cut them open to look inside, had them independently tested for potency, poked, prodded, and squeezed, and finally… I smoked them.

In this Toast CBD review, you’ll find my honest account of testing their CBD Cigarettes, which resulted in them winning second place in CBD Incubator’s coveted best CBD cigarettes for 2022.

Toast Emerald cigarettes hit your wallet as heavily as they hit you, making them our top luxury pick.

Expect an awesome body buzz that sinks you deep into the couch, a smile to be pinned on your face, as well as a feeling that borders on giddy. These CBD cigarettes pull through smoothly, although I do find myself having to take smaller tokes, as the action is a little fast for me. I noticed that these cigarettes also burn a little faster than other options.

Intro

Toast CBD is a high-end, premium CBD brand, based in Aspen, Colorado, that is focused on enhancing experiences and wants to help us create moments to share together. Their product selection is fairly specialized at this time, offering several differently flavored CBD oils (for humans and pets), CBD chocolates, and these Toast Emerald CBD Cigarettes, which are also called Toast Pre Rolls on their website.

Having already tried their Cold Press Orange CBD Tincture and their Fine & Raw CBD Chocolate, I did have unusually high expectations of their cigarettes going into this review but as you’ll see, they didn’t have a problem living up to them.

Toast Emerald CBD Cigarettes Review

Toast Emerald provides their latest third party lab results online, but they also sent me a copy of their lab reports printed out on a postcard (very fancy) with their Emerald Cigarettes. They triple test all of their products apparently and the lab testing is very thorough, verifying the potency and terpenes, as well as the fact that their cigarettes are free from pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, and mycotoxins (toxic molds). 

They advertise a potency of 100mg of CBD per cigarette and you can buy the cigarettes in boxes of 2, 5, or 10, which contain 1g, 3.5g, and 7g of hemp respectively. Toast Emerald is the most luxury brand we tested and, as the most expensive brand on this list, you should expect to pay around $34 for a 10-pack.

First impressions

Toast Emerald makes a great impression from the get go. The cigarettes arrive beautifully presented in a reusable, magnetic-closing cigarette box, complete with a humidity control pack inside for freshness. 

When you look at the open end of the cigarette, you can see that the contents are bright green and they smell very strongly of loud and delicious hemp flower, even before they’re lit.

Experience

These cigarettes smoke fairly quickly against some others, but they pull through the filter just like a real cigarette and have a very delicious hempy taste. It’s very similar experience to smoking a joint but much less harsh on your throat. 

Still, I had to take quite small puffs and then as you get closer to the end of the cigarette it does become a little harsher still, but that’s to be expected and it’s a small price to pay for the effects…Which are incredible. 

They hit me like a ton of bricks about two-thirds of the way through the cigarette. I almost felt like I’d had a couple of drinks (I think giddy is the word), as I felt euphoric and very relaxed, with an all over body buzz. I guess now I know the difference between a $3.40 hemp cigarette and a 50c one! 

I didn’t feel drunk, but I was very glad it was a Saturday afternoon, rather than a Monday morning. I didn’t have anything in particular to do and was able to enjoy a happy and carefree afternoon chilling at home. 

I couldn’t smoke a cigarette like this too often as it’s just too strong for some occasions, but what a treat it is! A pack of these would be great to pass around after dinner or to unwind and treat yourself after a particularly hard day at work.

What’s really inside?

When I cut open a Toast Emerald cigarette, the contents were exactly as I expected them to be, which was pure, fluffy, light green hemp flower. When judging the quality by looks alone, they placed in the top three CBD cigarette brands immediately and there really wasn’t much difference between 1st and 3rd place.

The lab results were surprising and a little disappointing as Toast Emerald tested 22% over their claim of 100mg of CBD. With 122mg of CBD in each cigarette, it’s no wonder I felt so giddy after smoking one! It makes for a better deal for me, but it isn’t ideal for people that are medicating and need more accurate dosing.

Final word

I would totally recommend these CBD cigarettes to anyone that is looking for potent, luxurious CBD smoking experience. In fact, I have already recommended and shared them with my own friends and family. They draw a little on the strong side for me, but I think that’s because of the biodegradable filter and if you just take slightly smaller tokes, you’ll be rewarded with a highly potent and enjoyable experience.

The price seems high against other CBD cigarettes on the market, but think of them as the champagne of the CBD cigarettes world. You just have to try them to feel the difference between these and most other brands and they really are worth every cent.
