Question by non spinner: What’s wrong with czech absinthe and how much does it cost?
I’m reading that they make it like they did back in the day. right down to the thujone (made you crazy) in it. If it’s oil based, I’m not sure that’s all bad, because I think I read that it was made in many ways back in the day. You had to have the holy trinity of ingredience. Does the U.S. stuff have that..so how much do these czech guys charge, because it isn’t cheap.
they say it’s legal to bring into the U.S. Wormwood is OK, it’s in lots of stuff. There is a designer copy of absinthe sold here with Wormwood as the principal ingredient. called Lucid. got the website from yahoo answers, thanks!
tried some french stuff last night. Gross!

Not familiar with the czech stuff, but I don’t think anyone is making it the way it used to done, except for in the orient. (maybe)Wormwood is banned pretty much everywhere, the last time I had it was about 20 years ago when my brother got back from a tour of duty as a SEAL. It’s rough! I’m curious if the czech stuff is legit?

All I know is that absinthe makh the heart grown fonder ( of absinthe, that is) I think it contributed to the early death of Edgar Allen Poe. European absinthe is currently being advertised in the New Yorker Magazine. Sounds nasty to me.
absinthe is really french, i dont know why it is passed off as czech; czechs, like all eastern europeans charge a lot cos they havnt forgotten the communist age and they’re all tight.
