THIS ISN’T INCENTIVIZED. I purchased this plain and simple because I was curious after seeing all the reviews on here.
Packaging: standard. Cardboard box with double vac sealed bag inside. Flower was in black bag with the name of written on it; no Boveda.
Flower: in the loo...ks and smell department this stuff is pretty stunning. Strong scents of fuel, cake and lemon when the bag is cracked open. Buds are all smallish to medium sized with hues of purple scattered throughout. Trim could be a bit better on some of the bigger buds but that’s getting nitpicky. Moisture content is good. Breaks up nicely in a hand grinder.
Smell after grinding is basically straight fuel with a hint of cake/ lemon.
Taste is there but not as pronounced as it is with the nose. I smoked three different ways to get the full effect. Bong, joint and vape.
With the bong and joint the ash was mostly salt with a little bit of pepper. The exhale was relatively clean and smooth. Some notes of gas and cake but for some reason it tasted like BBQ chips to me?!? I had to go back and smoke another to make sure I wasn’t tripping. Not in a bad way or anything it just, for some reason, had a bit of a mesquite aftertaste.
Effects were strong out of the gate. A solid rush of blood to the head and general euphoria. I wouldn’t call it couch lock and it certainly wasn’t munchie inducing for me. My only issue was that I found the initial effects to be pretty short lived (10 or so minutes maybe) and then it just settled into a more middle of the road stone for me.
I’d give it a high triple A/ low quad rating.
Customer service: communication wasn’t great with onlygas. I gave them a relatively hard time about it and in the end they got me my product within a standard amount of time for a MOM but not without a couple/ few communication failures on their end. Still - I was hard on them when I could have showed more patience. I’ve been stung by fly by night MOM’s before so my paranoia about getting ripped off was on high alert. Apologies for that.
Value: 8 out of 10
Final thoughts: colour me a fan, the cost of this ounce was $165 shipped and I have paid (and have been paying) at least $220-$250 for comparable flower from other MOM’s. If Onlygas can keep this type of quality and pricing up - I’d be crazy not to make them my go to for flower.
I’ve had this one before about a year ago now. Missed out on a drop of it during the summer but snagged another tin during the Black Friday sales.
This was one of my favourite tins from Skookum alongside the Do-Si-Do. The look, nose, high and taste are all on point with this stuff. .../> Medium sized and relatively dense buds give off an earthy and gassy smell. When chopped up the nose turns almost to a dill pickle smell. Kind of reminiscent of Meat Breath to me.
The burn is white and clean and the nose translates to the taste.
High is effective but not face melting. Great for an evening chilling out but I also don’t mind having a puff before headed out to do a grocery shop or things like that. Munchies are negligible and burn out is pretty light.
This one gets pretty low marks from me. Disappointing trim job on some of the bigger buds as well as some random relatively untrimmed popcorn in my tin.
When paying a premium one would expect a premium product – looks, taste, smell and high. This stuff did not deliver in the looks depa...rtment whatsoever.
A couple of light brown spots in a couple of my bigger buds (can’t tell if it’s mold or perhaps just a dry patch). I’ve already been in contact with Budmail customer service and they took care of me which is great.
The high and taste of this stuff is pretty good (almost a sour tangerine taste with an after exhale taste of cookie) with the high being a bit of a hybrid. It’s not a couch lock but it does pack a punch. Munchies are not bad with this stuff. The burn is salt and pepper at best.
This one definitely should of been bag series rather than tin.
Picked this one up as my last purchase over the Black Friday weekend sales, actually snuck it in right under the wire. Super “on a whim” purchase just so I could have a decent stock on hand for the holiday season.
Cracked the tin and was instantly impressed. Packed completely full o...f gorgeous medium sized glistening buds.
Nose and taste is what you would expect from the genetics and are stellar. Nice exhale and a very clean burn.
High is a relatively strong one. Not much of a functional stone for me. Definitely a lay about and watch movies or play games type high. Munchies came on strong for me with this. Burn out put me to sleep which isn’t a bad thing in the least.
Glad I got this and out of all my Black Friday purchases this one is definitely a surprise favourite.
Thanks! KC’s was really good too! I’ve bought it three or four times from them. The last batch I got was in the summer (July, I think) and it just didn’t seem the same. Burned black, the nose was off and the taste wasn’t as pronounced. Figured it might just be a bad batch which is why when t...he strain popped up on Budmail I figured I’d give it a shot.
Previous to this the only Apple Pie I had tried was Hierbas which I enjoyed but wasn’t blown away by. This stuff is replacing Astro Boy as my favourite Skookum sativa.
When I cracked the tin I was greeted with a bounty of beautiful deep green buds with tons of red hair and a smell of p...ine, lemon and cinnamon.
The buds themselves are actually a little on the damper side, probably the dampest I’ve seen from Skookum, but irregardless it breaks off the stem very crisply, rolls and smokes perfectly.
Taste matches the nose perfectly with an aftertaste of cake/cookie and lemon/ pine. Burns an off white with a hint of salt and pepper.
The high is an absolute darling for me. Energetic and mentally expanding - I’m saving this stuff for days in my shop drawing and carving. Pairs really well with my afternoon coffee. I also found it to be one of the better strains I’ve smoked to take the pain out of my repetitive stress injury as well. Kind of just let’s me forget about it for a couple of hours. Burn out is minor and munchies are non-existent.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this strain. Honestly? I bought it more for my girl as she’s a bit of a lightweight and likes mostly only sativa but the fourth day of me having this I turned to her and let her know she better stash some away cause I’m going to burn through the tin right quick. Good for creative bursts, going out, watching movies or playing games. This is a versatile hit.
Yeah, that was my first experience with it when I got it via the tin series. The bag stuff was better but it’s still definitely not in my top 5 (maybe even 10)
This one is a hit for me. Top marks for visuals, nose and smoke/ taste.
Beautiful buds with hues of dark greens, purples and orange hairs. The smell coming from the jar is a mix of chocolate, earth and cake. All the buds are medium sized. No huge nuggets or popcorn. All relatively unifor...m in look and size.
Chopping it up - the nose becomes even more apparent but where this stuff really shines is the taste/ smoke.
A mix of chocolate, cake and sweetness. This stuff pairs with my afternoon cup of coffee brilliantly. This is the definition of dessert weed. I can’t say enough good things about the taste. Probably the first weed I’d buy on the strength of taste alone.
The high is mellow. It’s not going to melt your face or (on the other side of the spectrum) give you energy. However, it’s just a genuinely nice high. Not favouring either side, just a clean balance.
No discernible munchies during or nasty burn out after. It comes and goes with little to no fanfare but leaves you extremely calm and relaxed overall.
Would gladly purchase another jar of this if it’s to come around again. A real treat.
Damn, this stuff is a winner for me. Absolutely love the look, smell, taste and stone that I get from this tin series strain.
Upon cracking the tin you get a nice nose of sour berry and kush with just a hint of gas. The buds themselves don’t look absolutely spectacular but present a ni...ce visual regardless.
When chopping it up is when you start to notice how special it really is. Super sticky but still easy to manipulate into a joint. The nose is extremely powerful upon busting up a bud. The taste when smoking is damn near spot on to the nose. Burns white and clean.
The high is a perfect combo for me. It’s stoney but not absolutely flatlining (looking at you Lindsay OG and Mike Tyson OG). I can still carry on conversations and multi-task but I’m also very aware I’m high as hell.
The burnout is negligible and munchies aren’t heavy either which really sells this stuff.
