Cookies n Cream - GetSkookum - October 2021

/u/human_hyperbole

I don't know why I can't take decent pictures anymore... I tried, I swear. So I did Skookum kind of dirty here last week, though rightly so I think. Anyway, I bitched here but also reached out to them, and they offered me a replacement can. First off: their customer service is like 11/10. Super friendly, helpful, apologetic. Just top notch. They shipped this on Thursday and it arrived Monday morning, not bad for a 4000km journey. This stuff isn't as wowsers as the Octane visually, but it's clearly well-treated. Like others here, I don't like that the small tuna cans squish the bud. But at the same time, the parts that aren't squished are immaculate, and I feel like overall the cans probably protect the bud better just because they don't get jostled around in shipping. Sorry, I digress. Smell on this out of the can was great, but after a few days in a jar it's just awesome. Sweet, creamy cookie terps, but with a nutty, kind of earthy backdrop. They're so loud and so delicious. The taste (in a joint) is kind of a curveball cause the earthy/nutty dank bits come through more than the sweet cookies. I kind of missed the sweetness at first but after smoking this all week it's really grown on me. Burn is smooth and even, with a fluffy grey ash. This is the smoke I was expecting from the Octane. The buzz is pretty upbeat. Hybrid but creative and energetic, uplifting. For me this is a great daytime/early evening smoke. Overall I had a pretty disappointing introduction to Skookum, but they made it right, and their second attempt was on the nose. Their stuff is pricey as fuck, but based on this experience I feel like you get what you pay for. Sealed can wrapped in tissue paper in a branded box, boveda included. Not something I'd order every month, but definitely a "treat yourself" kind of purchase.

Octane - GetSkookum - October 2021

/u/human_hyperbole

Didn't really wanna do this but I figure it's a necessary pubic service. Was super stoked to try out skookum, despite the exorbitant prices. (For the uninitiated this is $150 a half without discounts). Order took two weeks to arrive (CP's fault, not Skookum) so I was pretty antsy by the time it finally got here. Cracked the can and wow.... What a beauty. Beautiful buds and these gassy, dank, cakey terps. It actually smells a lot like the KK/TQF cut of Dosi. At this point I'm thinking, wow this stuff might actually be worth the money. (Other than the fact that the cans are too small and the bud is a bit squished.) So I go to roll up a joint, and when I open my grinder there's an immature seed sitting in the pile of weed I just ground. I sift through the rest, don't see any seed pieces, so I roll it up and light up. Immediate burnt popcorn aroma. The ash is dark and falling apart. Great. So I rolled up another one. This time checking the buds as I break them up. No visible seeds. So I pop the pieces in the grinder, grind it up, and immediately find chunks of broken seed. So I open the second can, at which point I find the bud with the seed pod crater on the outside. So I break up that bud, don't find any other seeds. It smokes okay. Kind of tasty, but still with a dark ash and a "hot" taste. Attempt number four is where I found my first mature seed (and another immature one). Again, I poked around like a truffle pig, looking for other seeds. Didn't find any. But again that joint burns dark and doesn't taste very good. I would be disappointed by this experience at any price point, but for $150 a half I'm pretty disgusted. Although I do have to laugh that this came from a company whose motto is "the truth is in the burn" lol. At least they got that part right - just not how they intended.

Animal Face - GetSkookum- September 2021

/u/FaceLike_Thunder

Animal Face has probably emerged as one of my new favourites, alongside Mint Choc Chip and Ice Cream Cake, when grown well it never fails to disappoint. This is maybe the nicest example I've had to date and I'm very stoked to review. Appearance: 9.6/10 - Big chunky pieces in my tin, expertly cured, bright mantis green and violet hues and completely caked in frost. The cure is on point, touching the buds leaves your fingers oily and resinous. Smell: 9.5/10 - Captivating to the senses, I get creamy meringue-like dessert alongside sweet gas, lacquered wood and aniseed. Flavour: 9.6/10 - Strong flavour endurance from tip to roach, the creamy dessert notes and gas are most prominently featured. Very smooth but expansive. High: 9.7/10 - A heavyweight in the effects department, this one hits me in all the places I need. Calms and aligns my racing thoughts while providing a soothing pain relief and buzzing stoniness throughout the body. Also I've identified this as sexytime weed, puts me and my partner in the mood, big time. Overall: 9.6/10 - This is a must-try in my opinion, I'm hoping to get another tin of it before it's gone. Burns to a nearly white ash with a grease ring, can osoto gari you to the mat if you trifle with it, but also provides a really present and engaged stone that is great for connection.

Mandarin Cookies - GetSkookum - Sept 2021

/u/FaceLike_Thunder

Mandarin Cookies has a name that just calls to you, and Cal from support tipped me off that the buds in here are a sight to behold. I am truly getting spoiled with the level of quality that Skookum has been putting out, this was no exception. Appearance: 9.7/10 - Wild looking and huge alien-esque buds, flourished with purples and blues and coated in trichomes while the calyxes are densely formed. My tin was no more than 6 pieces. Tightly trimmed and a true quad in every sense. Smell: 9.2/10 - Aged wood, perfumy citrus and cream comprise the aroma, has a bit of an attic-like quality. Flavour: 9.4/10 - Nicely expansive while smooth on the exhale (burns to a nearly white ash) where it imparts a doughy sweet, citrus & spice flavour. Very enjoyable to smoke. High: 9.4/10 - This is a versatile smoke that I would enjoy about any time of day. A bit of cerebral snappiness while a sense of well-being pervades you. Great for mood enhancement or tackling the daily minutiae with a bleary-eyed grin. Overall: 9.4/10 - These buds are insane looking, grown insanely well, and it performs well in a joint. Very stoked to have the opportunity to smoke Skookum, they've done me good so far.

Octane BX3 ( Fire Alien Kush x High Octane OG ) - GetSkookum - SEP 21

/u/millzog

Potent sticky OG alien GAS that smokes and tastes amazing. Skookum really blew me away with this one. After trying their original Octane which was a classic to me, I had a strong feeling this would be next level due to the cross. Glad I moved on an oz. A true quad and 10 in my books. These are the types I search for constantly but hard to find. I'll definitely be picking more of this up. S.O to Cal, the shipping and customer service is always top of the line with these guys.

Octane - Getskookum - August 2021

/u/televisionceo

I've read good things about this strain so I wanted to try it for myself. As you can see the buds are pretty much perfect. Colorful and full of terpenes. I first tried it with my solo 2. the taste was smooth and it was producing a lot of vapor. for the taste I was disappointed. I value originality and it tastes like what most people think cannabis taste. Pretty generic stuff. 7.5/10 I then smoked a joint with it and the piney taste and the slightly sugary taste won me over. such a smooth smoke. In joints I'd say it's a very pleasant experience. 9/10 overall I paid 130$ for 14g V:8.5 Q:9
