aka Black Bubba

Lineage: Black Russian x Bubba Kush

There has been some hype surrounding this strain, particularly CleanerMeds cut, though not personally grown by him, I was still curious to try.

This was some well crafted weed that's pleasing to the eyes with ...darker colour tones. The nugs were smaller composed of a dense compact structure, heavily resinous, and very sticky for an ideal cure.

Nose was pronounced yet not too loud, and carried a typical bubba smell and taste. Aromas of hash, cream, spice, and herbs, along earthy, skunk, and gas undertones. The flavour was mostly rich with a taste of hash, cream, and pine up front, sweet tasting throughout, which all ended with an earthy, skunk, and mild citrus exhale.

Bong hits were clean and smooth, but also gave a strong kick to the chest area without any coughing. Joints burned well producing thick smoke, and was very greasy along with an ash that was light grey for the most part.

I really liked the effects, they were long lasting and potent. An instant mood changer, that's eventually overlapped by full bodied relaxing properties. It's a creeper as the buzz intensified over time, shifting from light mental stimulation to full on hazeyness and deep couch lock. Even with heavy relaxation there was functionality and at no time did I feel drowsy nor sedated, but does make falling asleep very easily.

I truly enjoyed this batch, only wished I had picked up more than an eight. It's very good stuff but at the same time overhyped to some extent, due to relabeling which also comes with a higher tag. I've seen this go for as high as $300 an oz, which is totally absurd and not worth it for what it is, but at a price point that's closer to $200 it would get my recommendation.

Lineage: Wedding Cake x Gelato 33

This is another one from their private reserves. As far as I know, ICC has been done a few times now, and had good feedback in previous months, so I was much looking forward to this batch.

Lovely looking buds made up of mostly lime and pastel ...green colours, hints of purple, and are absolutely frosted with lots of trichome heads still intact. Very nice dense feel between fingers, they were perfectly cured and sticky.

The nose was so good! It smelled like piney gassy cake batter, not too sweet, but more on the creamy side with notable traits of vanilla, and had undertones of mint and earthiness. Flavour translated amazingly all notes were present and never got subdued. Cream, butter, pine at the front, followed by gas, and ends with a delightful taste of mint, and nuttiness left on palette, with the buttery notes following through as well. I'd say nose and flavour were dialed in and sync seamlessly.

Excellent burn quality. Joints had no problem staying ignited for over 2 mins based on testing, combusting slowly all the way through. Cean and smooth, greasy for the most part, and had firm light grey ash with minimal peppering.

The potency was solid, not super strong knock you out, but definitely above average towards stronger side. Very uplifting and happy, peaceful state of mind, with a warm soothing body buzz that lead to moderate couch lock. It was creeper like inducing mild sedation after some time, making it easy to fall asleep.

I was very pleased with this drop. It checked all boxes for me, and made for a wonderful smoking experience. Not the best value for money, but certainly worth it if you're seeking a cut of ICC that's well done. Still, I was able to get a 1/4 for about $50 after discount, so no complaints here at all. Easy recommendation for a premium smoke.

aka Sunset Sherbet

Lineage: GSC x Pink Panties

A smaller drop from their private reserves, and as such quantity was limited to an eight per order. Good looking buds that had bold contrasting colours from deep purple to blacks, the fiery pistols were vibrant, and the generous l...ayer of frosty trichomes added more to the beautiful colours. Cured very well and sticky, nicely crispy on the outside but perfect moisture within.

The aromas were dank and complex having a perfect mix of fruit, candy, and  gas. Sharp notes of sweet tropical and berry fruit, accented by undertones of funk, and skunk. A sour pungency was further revealed when compressing buds. Taste was a bit different on the inhale yet not terrible at all. It was creamy, minty, and nutty, chased by mild gassy notes. The mintyness was present throughout and made its way on the exhale, along a sour citrus taste that lingered on the palette.

No issues with burn quality, slow combustion, and was greasy for the most part. Ash was favoured towards the light grey side, but did have some peppering at times.

Although supposedly an 85/15 indica, I found the buzz to be almost balanced. The head buzz was pronounced, however, with lots of mental stimulation at first, which eventually faded into total body relaxation. Not a strong potency but effects do seem to last, won't have you feeling tired nor sedated. I'd say it's best for winding down an afternoon.

It was undoubtedly a nice experience, will be looking forward to bigger drops in future where quantity isn't limited. Sold at a pricier tag of $40 per eight, I probably would have skipped this, if it weren't for coupon and points, which ended up costing me around $28. Value was still on the low side, but I'm happy that I was able to try, as it was nothing short of good quality.

Alright, this Wild Sherb is WILDIN! Grabbed this treat (only an 8th) by Pacific Bud Boys. It was one of their Private Reserve items, but from what I heard it was one of the harder items to cop, I'm glad I got some. I know there are mixed reviews on PR items, but I gotta say I really enjoyed it. ...Also, the buds were damn beautiful... seriously. I wouldn't go out of my way to pay to get this, but boy it was worth the experience. Quality 9.5/10 Value 7.5/10

TBH I didn't know what to expect when getting this, I just wanted to try some stuff on Togo's new drops. Boy, was I pleased with it! This one is grown by a private grower, but I was told this grower did some other strains that were quite nice. This one had a truly nice flavours, but really a...ll around did the job well, the smoke was soooo smooth and the burn quality was really good too. Quality 9/10 Value 9/10
