Customer Service (Communication, Delivery Speed Etc.) - 10/10
I’ve placed numerous orders from Top Shelf BC since they started up a few months ago and have been nothing but impressed with their customer service and com...munication speed. I mainly communicate with them via Discord and the gentleman who runs the show (I am NOT calling you Harry) is always quick to respond. Typically within an hour or two but never longer than a day.
What’s really fantastic to see is their ability to incorporate customer feedback into the products/prices they offer. When they first launched, there were no multi-ounce discounts nor any mix-and-match products. To my surprise, both of these options were incorporated within weeks giving options for both bulk buyers and casual users just looking to try a few strains out.
I might be lucky living in Manitoba as I’ve only had 1 out of 15 orders take longer than 2-3 business days during the pandemic but Top Shelf kept that status quo going as I’ve never had to wait longer than 2 business days from them coming from BC.
In terms of ratings, I’ve had about 7 strains from them and each and every assessment is bang-on and this honesty is apparent when asking for recommendations if you’re unsure of what to buy.
Bag Appeal - 10/10
Have you ever been in Northern Manitoba in the middle of a blizzard? A biting windchill, fear of death, and low visibility so all you can see in front of you is white? If so, you’ll know exactly what it’s like to lay eyes on this beauty for the first time. This thing is coated, and I mean COATED, with trichomes. Once you run your snowblower through it, the medium-sized light green buds have a firm consistency that squishes ever so slightly along with a perfect cure. The half ounce I ordered came in at 14.7g which is more than a man can ask for. Impressive stuff!
Smell/Taste - 8/10
To be honest, I was hoping for a bit more nose from this given it’s a quad (albeit a minus) but it’s definitely not lacking in nasal stimulation. Initially, you’re greeted with an delicate earthiness that slowly peels back to reveal dollops of citrus and morning dew.
The consistency of the smoke was medium with barely a tickle on the throat during exhale. Again, earthiness dominates most of your tastebuds with those pleasant hints of citrus following not far behind. I’m not much of a joint smoker but the ash in my bong looked almost identical to the crystal coverage - whiter than a Donald Trump rally.
Potency - 9/10
Given my initial impressions above, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the effects. Described as a balanced hybrid with no known confirmation of lineage other than OG, I was certainly looking forward to the surprise.
The initial wave of euphoria started in the centre of my body slowly eminating outwards over the course of a few minutes until I was completely relaxed and couch-locked. However, there’s a certain alertness maintained and after about 45 minutes, I was able to start to carry out menial tasks like grinding up some more of this for my next bowl. I’d say this is well-suited for an after-work puff which could be moved up to morning-noon for rainy days off of work.
NOTE: The description on the website boasts that this strain may make you ’...uncontrollably horny.’ After smoking some after dinner with my lady friend the other evening, I can definitely attest that this is no joke!
Value - 10/10
I believe this was going for $200/oz at first but dropped to $180/oz just recently which makes this an easy decision. Admittingly, I only grabbed a half as part of their mix-and-match pack in my recent order which I’m already regretting. This purchase stemmed again from a sample I recieved a month or two back which grew on me when I smoked it exclusively a couple of Saturdays back. This is probably one of the better regular prices out there right now for something quad-level. This also qualifies for their multi-ounce discounts along with the AAAA- Dosidos they just dropped (Haven’t tried yet...Stay tuned!)
As a side note, to someone visiting their site for the first time, their pricing system can appear all over place as only some qualify for the multi-ounce discount and you need to pay a bit more for certain quad level selections in your $155/oz mix-and-match. Once you get used to it, you realize there are tremendous deals to be found and you just have to play around with what you’re looking for to find the best fit. Failing that, just get a hold of them on Discord or shoot them an email and they’ll gladly lend you a hand.
Overall - 47/50
Top Shelf BC continues to impress me with their selection and accurate ratings. While I certainly wish they were able to get some full AAAA quads in, the fact that they rate their products so honestly makes it well worth the wait when they do. OG Shark is an extremely impressive smoke for the price and I can’t recommend it enough for those who prefer either balanced hybrids or lighter indicas. It may not get you laid but it will certainly get you ripped!
