What kind of hash was this?

When I was in high school I spent spring break in NYC with a couple family members (this was in 2014) and we stayed in a nice hotel in Manhattan. I met a journalist from Egypt in the elevator and he was really cool and offered to smoke some hash with me in his hotel room that he managed to smuggle over on the plane (journalist privilege I guess?) He said the police in Egypt are corrupt and his cop friend confiscated it from someone and gave it to him LOL.

This stuff was a black cube in the shape of a rectangle, maybe a couple inches long and maybe a half inch thick, I can't remember exactly. He melted a piece with a lighter and mixed it in with some tobacco in a joint. I swear the effect was not unlike certain prescription pain medications.....with a psychedelic twist. I literally was nodding off like that from the joint and he had to wake me up to leave or I would've passed out in his room. Awesome smoke. Imagine a really good Purple Kush but like at least 5x more intense.

My question is what kind of hash does that sound like? I could only guess traditional north african/middle eastern hash but I don't know much of anything about hash

I guess it would depend on your tolerance level. I had black Afghan hash in the late 70's that was similar. It was very soft and sticky and the oz was about 3" X 6", just barely fit lengthwise in a baggie. It was my favorite, Indica X 10. You could take it between your fingers and roll it up into a ball. The blond hash was always dry and crumbly.

It was my first real time using a concentrate. The only other time I had ever tried hash was when the neighbor across the street grew his own outdoor and I'm sure it wasn't professionally made, the bud itself was pretty airy.

I actually bought some bullshit on the street of NYC and matched with him but after smoking a first joint mixed with my stuff he was like "nah let's just smoke mine instead" lol so I actually smoked a lot that night looking back
 
Sounds more like opium than hash. Only had opium once but you described it perfectly.
I guess I'll never know for sure, but I have plenty of experience with both cannibanoids and opioids and this stuff definitely felt like the former. For one thing, there was no itching at all and it didn't make me sick. It just felt like a strong indica body stone with the classic thc headspace.

Pretty sure he'd know the difference if it was opium as well since he's from a major city in the middle east... but who knows

Why would the fact that he left it being opium out make it strange?
Im mean a foreign adult with a camera offering a high school tourist to his hotel room to smoke opium i mean hash his crooked cop buddies gave him together is totally legit and unquestionable lol

Same with the Lebanese we got way back when, dark reddish and gummy but burned to a light grey ash.

You met a stranger and smoked their drugs you yourself weren't even able to identify and took it at face value so who knows indeed. You sound pretty young, you ever seen catfish?
