WHEN DID PEOPLE START SMOKING FIDELS HASH HOLE
People began smoking Fidel’s Hash Holes after Fidel Hydro (real name Shant Damirdjian) brought the concept back from Spannabis in Barcelona, where he first saw locals rolling joints with rosin cores to celebrate California weed making it overseas. That moment sparked his mission to elevate the idea into a premium product.
While hash holes as a concept existed before, Fidel popularized and perfected them in Los Angeles — turning them into a cultural staple in the cannabis community. His brand gained serious traction around 2022, when he hosted the Hash Holes & Donuts event at Cookies Barcelona and won top honors at Transbay Challenge IV: Hollywood with his Kush Mints × Zkittlez pairing.
So while hash holes have roots in European cannabis culture, Fidel’s Hash Holes became a global smoking ritual starting in 2022, thanks to his craftsmanship, branding, and community-building.
