Ordering & Pricing:
Pink Joint has a nice selection of flower, priced on the cheaper side with some $99oz and $64 half oz, trips priced around $130oz. All their quads were sold out, not sure on pricing per oz. Great selection of concentrates - Shatter, wax, terp sauce, distillate carts, edibles and hash.
Communication:
Communication was fast and professional.
Packaging:
Generally it was packaged nicely, the flower samples arrived in very nice cardboard tubes which were vac sealed, inside a good sized white shipping box, taped very well. No smell from the package at all. However, in the bottom of the shipping box I noticed a piece of a dryer sheet.
I immediately emailed them and explained all the reasons why including dryer sheets was a very bad idea. They replied very fast, thanked me for the information and verified that they will no longer use these and they will adjust their packaging methods.

Strain Fidelity: Had wedding cake quite a few times, from moms and local. The smell, taste and effects are fairly consistant with my experice with this strain.

Bag Appeal: 7 - Buds looked nice, nothing fancy or amazing. Lighter greens with lots of orange hairs, good covering in trichomes.
Cure & Humidity: 6 - The flower was pretty dry, just a slight hint of moisture in the middle.
Smell Intensity: 6.5/10 - The smell was a little stronger than I expected, nose was okay with the standard cookie / earthy smells. Did get quite a but stronger when busting.
Harshness vs Smoothness: Fairly smooth, slight tickle in the throat. Fast burning with grey / white ash.
Taste Intensity: 6 - Taste wasn't strong, but it did have a nice subtle sweetness to it.
Taste Complexity: 5 - Some earthy and sweet flavors.

Strain Fidelity: Nuken is pretty much a staple strain everywhere. Smell, taste and effects are on par.
Size of buds: 5 - Buds were smalls, slightly leafy.
Bag Appeal: 5 - Small buds, dry. Usual trim for smalls. Good covering in yellow / amber trics.
Cure & Humidity: 5 - Really dry, just crumbles with some pressure.
Smell Intensity: 7 - Interestingly, for the dryness of the flower, the stuff had a really strong nose. Classic Nuken smell, little more on the tropical fruit zest side.

Taste Intensity: 6.5 - Stronger than I expected, but not as strong as the smell.
Taste Complexity: 6 - Usual earthy sweet taste with some tropical zest.
