Cheebas Review, hash for the most part

MOM Name Cheebas.ca
Overall rating out of 10: Will update when I've tried all the products
Sign Up: Simple no frills, they asked for ID. Account needed to be verified/accepted, it happened fast.
Ordering & Pricing: I had a few issues with the site resetting my cart, which kinda sucked, had to rebuild my cart 3 times before I could finalize my order. Pricing of their weed is a little bit above average, this is not a 99$ OZ MOM, but they do have cheaper options in the 120$ range or so. As far as the hash goes, I don't have much basis for comparison MOM-wise, seems most MOMs either don't have hash or sell the crap Mercedes style crap. If I compare with my street experience, their hash prices are good, but not cheap either.
Communication: I talked with the hash guy from Cheebas on Discord and he was helpful and real quick to reply, we had a long talk and you can see he's passionate about hash, just as I am. Didn't feel rushed or pressured into anything, was given clear opinions on the strains, including him telling me their lower grades are pretty shit, but people like/request it, so they keep it there for that reason.
Packaging: Standard bubble mailer, then a standard food grade vacuum bag. All the hash was either in small glass vials with a plastic cover, or a pill-style plastic bottle (the 7g came in that, others in the smaller glass). The weed was in a thick plastic branded bag, same format as mylar, but it was plastic. Fine by me, weed wasn't too crushed. No complaints!

As you can see, the buds are small, borderline popcorn. I don't really mind, but it wasn't listed as such. I have the worse of luck with bud sizes in general, so I guess I'm fine with it loll. The smell on this is quite intense, it really smells like dank cheese. I get zero blueberry in the nose, it's just intense cheese (first strong nosed cheese I get ever). Very different from the Blue Cheese I got from The Green Ace (which was very blueberry).
Breaking this up, the smell of cheese just gets stronger. It's not overwhelming and it's distinctively a cheese smell, like slightly repugnant (not in a bad way lol). The inside of the bud still has a bit of humidity, it's bouncy and doesn't crunch. Rolled one up (my preferred way of tasting flower) and blazed it. I didn't get a single hint of blueberry during the whole joint, so it's really leaning on cheese hard. The taste was kind of nothing special, it's a mix of sour with a tiny but sharp bitterness. There's also a very faint spiciness to it, the kind that makes the back of your nose tingle. Not to the point of sneezing, but def noticeable. In other words this isn't exactly a delight, but it's still very smooth, so not bad. I didn't even look to see if this is indica, sativa or hybrid, but the buzz I got feels hybrid leaning on indica. The potency is very good, nice strong buzz. On a 10 scale, this a little short of a 7 but lets call it that.
Mazar Sharif Hash: Pic later --- This smells like it's right out of 1990, back when import hash dominated the market around here in Quebec. The smell is where the similarities end though, as the texture is much more malleable than the old school stuff. It's hard to describe, but it's elastic, sticky. It has a fairly dark brown color, but when you crack it open, it reveals a light blonde color, very similar to classic Moroccan. The texture reminds me of Lebanese Blonde, but less grainy.
I smoked this in a joint yesterday with some CE FC GSC and I had a hard time evaluating the taste... so I tried again tonight with my grand-pa pipe (a tobacco pipe that only ever smoked hash) so to get it's taste. I had a lot of issues getting a burn going on this, it would produce a lot of smoke, but would not go into a slow burn. I even left it burning a bit and it would still just stop when I'd take off the flame. Not used to this... I eventually managed to get it burning and got a proper taste. The taste is nothing amazing, mostly sour, a bit earthy, nothing like what I remember from similar hashes back in the day. I honestly doesn't taste real good, but it's not bad either. Better than Mercedes, but barely.
I didn't smoke much, maybe 0.2 gram or so and I got a nice smooth buzz. Not very strong, but that type should not be strong either. The effects were definitely a creep up, at first I didn't feel much but it ramped up nicely over 5-10 min. Not too couch lock, very functional buzz.
Giving it an overall 7/10.
UK Cheese Hash: Pic later --- This one is mostly black, through and through, It's malleable, but has a dryish crust around it, you can squeeze it and flatten it easily between fingers, but you can feel it cracking/crumbling a bit. Nose-wise, be it in the little container or after breaking it in half, this has a very faint smell. Like the Mazar, I pressed a little flat bit (about 0.2g) and used my grand-pa tobacco pipe. I also had a hard time getting this one lit, even with 4-5 seconds of flame and then leaving it flaming some more, the thing would stop smoking as soon as flame was off. I managed to get it going and could finally get a proper taste test. There is very little terps coming though and has a mostly sour/bitter taste. Not harsh at all, very smooth and rather thick smoke. Can't say I enjoyed the taste, the bitterness wasn't a positive thing. The buzz however came in strong. I was already still a bit baked from the Mazar, but this is clearly some next level shit. Nothing dramatic, but I got a solid buzz going, gonna take a break before I check others for sure loll. Gonna give this one a 7/10 also, bonus for the buzz, but malus for the bitterness.
BC Premo cured hash: --- First impressions is this looks and smells like moroccan a lot, but it seems softer. Looks very promising. The texture is soft and malleable, has an hazelnut brown color outside and light blonde interior when you break it up. Its so light in some spots its like beach sand, gorgeous. Smoked this like I did the others and the trend continues, it was very hard to light up. The taste wasn't amazing, similar to the other 2, earthy/sour with a tiny bit of bitterness. Its less bitter than the others, so but I wouldn't say it tastes good. Buzz was ok, not too strong, very indica/couch lock, fell asleep shortly after smoking it while sitting at my computer lol. Another barely 7/10 here.. Competent potency but no fun to smoke. One reviewer on their site said it was the best hash he ever had. I'm very sorry for him.
Wheres my bike Hash: Dark/black, soft but not sticky, has almost no nose out of the little bottle it came in with. Smoked this in the bong. The taste is pretty generic/bland, earthy, bit sour, not bitter unlike some of the others. The taste really isn't that good, but it's not bad either. Packs a punch, has a more uplifting sativaish buzz than the others. 7.5.10
Blueberry Hash: Same texture, appearance, lack of smell as Where's my bike. Taste is a very faint sweet/berry taste but it's really just tiny lapses of it, less earthy perhaps a bit more flowery. Smooth... Unsure about buzz, I was mixing at that point. 7.5/10
Sweet Island Skunk Hash: Same texture and appearance as the other dark ones, but a bit more green in the color. Taste is again faint, but I do feel a tiny bit of sweetness and skunkiness peaking through, ever so faint again. Smooth smoke, unsure about buzz. 7.5/10
Incentive for Customers: They have a 10% (Discord10) --- Note that they charge tax, so that 10% pretty much saves you taxes, nothing much more.
Incentive for Review: None
Notes: The general feeling I have here is that they are all very similar in taste. While there are small subtleties, none of them really sticks out of the fray. There are none of these products that made me want to buy again, but they are still potent and relatively smooth for the most part so I can definitely see an effort that I have rarely seen from MOMs in terms of quality. We're still miles from better hashes I smoked as a teen, or from more recent stuff like Herbal Dispatch's Moroccan, or Bubble Extract's GGC hash or lemon kush hash which were all about in the same price range. They all provided a significant and in some cases strong buzz so I have absolutely no complaints potency-wise.
