Remember the Tastes are basicaly volatile oils that are evaporating over the lifetime of the hash. So the more you lose the more you change your overall flavor/taste.
I have smoked some 15 year old fullmelt dry sift in amsterdam over the years.. ( some of you have seen the pictures).. and i can attest the terpenes were literaly non present.. and the taste was very stale.. however the high was still incredible . Even without the modulation of the terpenes> the only difference i found was that the high came on in a creeper sort of way over five minutes or so.
It would be much easier to roll a hash joint with pressed hash yes. My friend out east rolls them in pure hash... flattens out the hash and basicaly rolls it around a toothpick ,puls out the toothpick and voila perfect hash joint..
let me see if i can find a picture in my gallery to put up here..

Inregards to pressed.. pressed heads are going to degrade faster yes.. but only those on the outside of the hash>( a pressed block) the inside heads even though pressed.. are not going to be exposed to light or air.. and thus maintain a lot of their flavour and potency. You can see this when opening a block of well cure hash.. the outside is often a different shade than the inside.
With high grade fullmelt bubble or dry sift.. i can't really say as those who have decent amounts and want to save it for long periods will often keep it sealed in nitrogen with the air removed.

a few more cents

15 year old full melt? Thats insane! Did it still have any color left and was it sticky still?

Like this? :)
3.5 gram piece with just a little bud inside!
Does this mean that the inner heads will keep fresh longer when pressed? what about hand pressing and not heating, think that would be a way to store it longer and keep the heads intact without damaging too many of them?

Kinda like that, but more like this. I believe they weighed a gram each when new. Peace GS

That looks bomb! Mine lasted FOREVER! Wish we could match one some day :)

What micron hash do you people use? I imagine real melty stuff wouldn't work.

?

Yea probably not unless it was frozen after rolling............. :)
I used 160 micron on that one though, worked like a charm!

You and your beautiful backgrounds...........that looks awesome!

Is pressed hash higher in THC due to decarboxylation? It should be huh?
