Strain Name: Strawberry Jerry
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain before, so no idea! Didn't smell or taste like anything I've had before.
Size of buds: 8/10 Nice 1g+ bud, not crushed.
Bag Appeal: 8/10 Nice colors with hits of purple, good trim, nice hairs. Buds are packed but not dense.
Cure & Humidity: 4/10 The humidity is all but gone in this, it had almost no smell when I opened the bag and even when breaking the bud in half nothing more escaped. Smells inert like a random plant.
Smell: 1/10 This had almost no smell. Even ground up it almost had nothing.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Fairly smooth but long draws made it pretty harsh. Some boveda time might help that.
Taste Intensity: 5/10 Not much terps coming through.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Didn't taste much and the little that made it through was fairly forgettable.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Felt like a weak sativa and didn't buzz very long
Price: Listed at 220$/oz regular, currently 160$/oz
Value: Given the dryness and lack of personality of this weed, I wouldn't recommend it.
'A' Scale Rating: AA+ (a fresher product would undoubtedly have done better)

Strain Name: Pineapple Express
Strain Fidelity: 8/10 Less sweet than others I've had, but has that characteristic taste
Size of buds: 7/10 Two tiny buds
Bag Appeal: 7/10 A little leafy, tiny buds
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Wasn't as dry as the Jerry, but still very dry.
Smell: 8/10 Smells nice and sweet, pineapple has terps that survive dryness pretty well.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 This was very nice and smooth but when you took bigger rips, it would grasp the back of your nose (sneezy weed as I like to call it). Almost no sweetness to compensate either.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 You can clearly taste the terps over the smoke, very tasty
Taste Complexity: 8/10 As mentioned, it's less sweet than other Pineapple Express variations I've had but still has that characteristic fruity/spicy/piney mix that's characteristic to the strain.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Nice strong hybrid buzz, I like it
Price: Listed at 180$/oz on sale at 160$
Value: It's properly priced for it's quality, but I've seen better Pineapple Express for cheaper.
'A' Scale Rating: AAA, would prob be a AAA+ if fresher

Strain Name: Snow White
Strain Fidelity: Never had this strain but I've always been a big fan of White Widow and this is either a cross or phenotype of it from what I could gather on Leafly. Was excited to try it!
Size of buds: 8/10 Nice sized nug
Bag Appeal: 9/10 The colors on this are real nice and it's pretty caked as well so you get a nice mix of green and purple with a white frosting on it.
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 There is still some humidity in that bud but it's almost dry, the little left is enough to expunge a gassy funk that reminds me of the 90's.
Smell: 8/10 It's not super strong, but it's a nice mix of pine, skunk, musk. Right out of the bag it did not have much smell but once broken up/grounded it's got some kick left.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Again the dryness probably comes into play, this wasn't exactly smooth or pleasant to smoke. The funk that I could smell in the fresh herb did not translate well to the taste.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 This was fairly intense, but not necessarily pleasant
Taste Complexity: 5/10 The taste was strong and bold, spicy, not very pleasant, harsh.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Similar to the White Widows I've had, respectable but manageable hybrid buzz, perfect balance between body and mind.
Price: Normal price is 220/oz, on sale at 160/oz
Value: I think 160 is much closer than 220 to the real value of this bud.
'A' Scale Rating: AAA-
Incentive for Customers: Sale currently
Incentive for Review: Samples were offered free for the review.
Notes: The dryness of the buds was the biggest issue in this order. The three strains I've got looked real nice, were nice genetics and appeared to be very well grown, but I feel there's a preservation issue.
