Strain Name: Island Pink
Strain Fidelity: Never had ’Island’ specifically, but it definitely has that signature Pink Kush taste with a bit of sweetness
Size of buds: N/A hard to evaluate with a gram sample, but the sample was a good sized bud with a smaller one. Didn’t weight but looked over 1g.
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Leaving asside the fact it had been squished in transport, the product has very nice colors, a decent trim and it was sticky as hell, still fairly fresh, good stuff
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Strong smell when broken up, sticky, still has some freshness.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 The bag smell itself wasn’t crazy, but once broken up it released it’s strong pink aroma. Very nice.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Passable, it’s a tiny bit harsh but not too bad
Burn: 4/10 Black as night on the outside, grey in the center. It kept it’s light and burned fairly well despite this, but that outside color is concerning.
Taste Intensity: 4/10 Mostly tastes like smoke, seems like most of the terps are overwhelmed by this. Can’t say it was an enjoyable smoke.
Taste Complexity: 2/10 Pretty much can’t taste any of it, it’s all smoke/burn taste. Little that gets through is classic pink with a hint of sweetness.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Competent buzz, but didn’t hit me like a pink usually does.
Price: 150$/OZ
Value: I’ve had better 99ers smokewise, but the bag appeal and other aspects aren’t typical for that price range. I honestly would not buy this whatever the price because of burn/taste.

Strain Name: Pineapple Express
Strain Fidelity: 9/10 While the bag smell was lacking, once broken up I’ve recognized classic PE
Size of buds: 8/10 Two decent sized buds. Didn’t weight it but it looked like 1g buds.
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Looks real nice visually, but the dryness and lack of smell out of the bag is a letdown. First time I see purple in PE.
Cure & Humidity: 5/10 Very dry, crunchy. The aroma is still present but muted.
Smell Intensity: 6/10 Out of the bag I didn’t even recognize the signature smell of PE, but once broken up it comes out clearly. That said, this stuff is dry to the core, so the smell is very muted even broken up.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 Fairly smooth, expected worse given the dryness.
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper, descent burn.
Taste Intensity: 7/10 Passable, I can taste classic PE through the smoke but it’s fairly weak.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Pineapple is usually a mix of spicy/pine/sweet for me, this one lacks in the pine/spicy department a bit. Really not bad, but not amazing for PE.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 It’s not the strongest of buzz, like any PE, but it’s a really cool hybrid buzz. It’s one of those strains that never disapoints, the buzz is fairly strong but not sleepy/couch locky.
Price: 100$/OZ
Value: 10/10 Very fair price

Smell Intensity: 2/10 Not much smell, almost inert
Harshness vs Smoothness: 4/10 Fairly rough on the throat, not as bad as expected, but pretty terrible
Burn: 7/10 Salt and pepper
Taste Intensity: 1/10 Mostly smoke, no terps
Taste Complexity: 0/10 No terps
Buzz Intensity: 4/10 Fairly weak

Strain Name: Grand Daddy Purple
Strain Fidelity: 10/10 Classic GDP
Size of buds: 7/10 Nothing crazy but decent
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Looks good. Smells amazing, bit sticky, still fresh, nice
Cure & Humidity: 9/10 Almost perfect
Smell Intensity: 9/10 This was the smelliest sample of the lot, very nice aroma out of the bag and very odorant once busted up, stank up the room
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Smooth as silk, almost no smoke taste, mouthful of terps
Burn: 9/10 I’ve seen whiter, but this was almost perfect, light grey smoke
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Very tasty
Taste Complexity: 8/10 It’s a fairly classic Kush taste with a bit of sweetness to it. I’m usually not a huge fan of kush strains but this one is the kind I like.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 Never had strong GDP and this one doesn’t stand out either, a nice indica buzz but not a very strong buzz.
Price: 140/OZ
Value: 10/10 Very good for the price! This ain’t craft, but it’s as good as it gets otherwise. I’ve seen a lot of MOMs sell this kind of stuff 200+
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+/AAAA- having a hard time drawing the line on this one.

Strain Name: East Coast Alien
Strain Fidelity: Never had this strain before, seems like a mix of Alien and a pheno of Sour Diesel according to what I can find
Size of buds: 7/10 Sample was 2 smallish buds
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 This is some weird looking weed, but it’s fairly caked. Smell is hard to describe, mostly floral, doesn’t remind me of any strain I know.
Cure & Humidity: 6/10 Fairly dry, not much smell even broken up.
Smell Intensity: 6/10 Not much bag smell, not much smell broken up either
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6.5/10 Wasn’t smooth, but it overly harsh either.
Burn: 6/10 Burned pretty dark, not as dark as the Island Pink, but not very nice.
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Smoke dominates the taste, but there are some terps coming through. Mostly floral, hard to describe.
Taste Complexity: 5/10 Not much going on
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Weak sativa effects, it’s supposed to be 30% indica and I’m not feeling it at all.
Price: 220/OZ
Value: Wouldn’t pay 100$/OZ for this, not sure how it’s so expensive.
’A’ Scale Rating: AA to me, listed as AAA

Strain Name: Sunset Sherbet Live Resin
Strain Fidelity: I had Sunset Sherbet a few times as flower, but they were pretty shit batches, so I can’t really comment.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 10/10 Obviously CRC. That aside, the smell is INSANE and the texture is the weirdest I’ve ever seen. It’s like tiny grains but with the sligthest stickyness. It came as a kind of waffer that stands on it’s own, but as soon as you touch it with a dab tool it breaks apart. Amazing looks.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 10/10 This stuff is very odorant and has a crazy aroma. It really reminds me of Orange Creamsicles, a clear very fresh and sharp taste of orange, smoothed by a creamy sweetness. It’s insane to think cannabis can taste so good.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Very smooth, I usually choke a lot on extracts and this is some of the smoothest I’ve had.
Burn: N/A
Taste Intensity: 10/10 Strong taste
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Very good balance between fresh oranges/citrus, tart, creamy and sweet. Absolutely nothing else to taint it, it’s a very clean taste.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Not the heaviest hitter, but decent punch.
Price: 40/g
Value: Well worth the price.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA
Notes: The color is a bit darker than how it came through in the picture. The tint is like a very light tan, but it came out straight white on the pic. I’m not a fan of CRC products in general, but this shit caught me by surprise. I did not do an ISO test, but it left absolutely no residue in my bong so it looks legit.
Incentive for Customers: N/A
Incentive for Review: Samples were offered free for an unbiased review.
Notes: There were some extra goodies I didn’t bother reviewing, a preroll, a 1 hitter contraption (pre-loaded) some papers, etc. Also, their site is slow as fuck, not sure why, but it’s been consistently slow on all connections since they first approached me a few months ago.

An introduction to this is in order, because this is honestly the strangest sample pack I’ve ever received. First of all, not a single one of these products was properly labeled so I had to go to the site and do some digging to figure out what was what. Neither of the prerolls have a strain, when ...asked I’ve been told it’s a ’house blend’. I assume these are rolled by them at the ’Fat boy blunts’ brand is either theirs, or a generic sticker or whatever. Both had similarities that pretty much make me assume these were rolled by the same person. The terp sauce had no strain listed, but there’s only one on the site, so, I assume I got it right. The kief only had a sticker that said ’kief’, again, they offer only one strain so I deduced it was Rockstar. The vape pen just says ’indica’ and had no indication of what’s in there, assuming it’s distillate. That brand has ’sativa’ and ’hybrid’ pens as well as CBD, go figure, distillate is distillate, it’s neither indica or sativa, but anyways.
All in all, the terp sauce is the only product in there that caught my eye. At 20$ a gram, it’s competitively priced and I have no reason to believe it’s CRC or trim run, it looks and smells like a quality extract and it also smokes like one, really liked it. Burns super clean in the banger, highly recommended.

Ordering & Pricing: N/A
Communication: Communications were good no complaints
Packaging: I honestly forget, had the pack a few weeks ago and my Saionara coil was dead so I didn’t get to complete the review until this week. I didn’t note anything bad so packaging must have been pretty swell :)

Strain Name: Culture (brand) disposable vape pen, 0.4ml
Strain Fidelity: This is distillate. It’s mildly terped.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The pen is nice and very small, sleek, has a light that turns on when toking on it. Came into a nice little plastic box that’s strudy. The package kinda looks like it could be government stuff, but isn’t.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Very smooth, smoother than a lot of other distillate pens/carts I’ve tried.
Burn: 9/10 Produces a lot of vapor fast. Bigger or fast consecutive puffs will taste a bit burnt so do not abuse.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 The taste is fairly strong, but not overwhelming. The terp ratio is good.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The only taste I get out of it is Eucalyptus which is to say the least, unexpected. The package did not mention any flavor. While it’s surprising and unusual, it’s also pleasant. Reminds me of the spa :)
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Everyone knows I’m not a fan of distillate and it’s buzz. This one surprised me, not sure if it’s the smoothness that allows me to hit it harder, or if those eucalyptus terps are doing some magic, but I got a nice buzz out of this. Like all distillate the duration is kinda short, but the crash hasn’t been as hard as others I tried.
Price: 50$ regular, currently on sale at 35$
Value: 35$ wouldn’t be a deal, but still would be fair if the thing actually worked until the end. As it is, not something I’d recommend.
’A’ Scale Rating: N/A
Notes: It stopped working with about 1/3 left in it. Sucking on it makes the light turn on and flash, but absolutely nothing comes out but air, looks like the coil is toast.

Strain Name: Fat Boy blunt, house blend with distillate, rolled in kief
Strain Fidelity: No strain specified, WestCoastReleaf says it’s a house blend.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 Came into a plastic tube. Joint itself is well rolled. No complaints, but doesn’t look fancy, looks like a generic preroll dipped in distillaste and then rolled in generic kief.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth no complaints.
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper. Burned smooth and straight no canoing.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Kinda tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 I can’t say I’ve tasted anything particular. Super generic smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Nice buzz, again very generic. I was satisfiedly stoned, so there’s that.
Price: 20$ per unit
Value: Seems overpriced. Not something I’d buy whatever the price.

Strain Name: Unlabeled Preroll
Strain Fidelity: N/A, no idea what’s in there
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 4/10 The roll itself ain’t bad, but it has a very generic aroma
Cure & Humidity: 3/10 Dry and terpless
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Generic old weed
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 was fairly smooth
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper, burned straight.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Pretty much tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Virtually no discernable taste, generic as hell.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Did the job but nothing to write home about
Price: 5$ each, on special for 4.25$
Value: Whatever, none IMHO, would never pay for a preroll

Strain Name: Pineapple Expresss ’Premium Terp Sauce’
Strain Fidelity: 7/10 I’m a big fan of PE, this didn’t really taste like it but it has similar aromas
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice orangy/brown color, semi translucent. Texture is slightly grainy sauce, very slow moving. Smell is nice and strong, but not overpowering.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Smells enough that I had it open on my desk and I could smell it without putting my face to it. Nice exotic fruity aroma. In my experience PE is more piney than this, but this one leans more on the fruity side.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Some of the smoothest I’ve had. Really nice.
Burn: 10/10 I was able to clear the whole dab leaving just an ever so small amount of reclaim. I’ve rarely had extracts that got that far.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Very tasty, produces a lot of vapor.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 PE usually has a complex mix of fruit, pine and spice, this iteration of it really is more on the fruity side and somehow, the pine and spice really doesn’t come through. That said I did taste a very slight kush taste. Overall very pleasant, but not a super complex taste.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 No complaints, got me fucked. Hybrid buzz. Very sleeepy on come down though.
Price: 30$ regular price, on sale at 20$ right now
Value: Good deal at 30$, excellent value at 20$

Strain Name: Sour Blue Soda Bottles candy edibles by Sweeds, 120mg total, 6x 20mg candies
Strain Fidelity: N/A
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The candies look nice, are well shaped, the sour sugar on them was well set, they aren’t sticky/gooey unlike a lot of candy edibles I’ve seen. Very nice.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: N/A
Burn: N/A
Taste Intensity: 2/10 This tasted INTENSELY bitter, the sour sugar on it only made it worse. No fun eating those.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Overload of sourness/bitterness/distillate taste with fake raspberry on top. These taste strong and bad.
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 I got seriously fucked eating the whole bag, which is unusual for me, because 100-150mg is usually about where I start feeling something. This felt like a significantly stronger dose. Nice buzz too, not too sedative.
Price: 22.50$ per pack (they aren’t on the site anymore but same brand goes for that)
Value: I have a hard time evaluating prices on edibles, but these are significantly more expensive than say Twisted Extracts with similar advertized potency. That said, they are significantly stronger in actual potency, so... OK I guess?

Strain Name: Rockstar Kief
Strain Fidelity: N/A has virtualy no smell, taste isn’t what I know of Rockstar flower
Size of buds: N/A N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 This kief is pretty coarse, looks more like the stuff you’d find in the top bag after icewashing buds for hash. Lots of stems (very small), I can clearly see pistils in there with the microscope (sorry didn’t save pics, but you can see one in the pic, I removed a significantly larger one prior to taking the pic).
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Virutally no smell, the little that comes through is extremely generic
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Kief isn’t exactly known for it’s smoothness, but this wasn’t smooth.
Burn: 8/10 Burned alright no complaints.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Mosty harshness though
Taste Complexity: 1/10 Generic smoke, pretty much absolutely nothing interesting coming from this
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Gave me an OK buzz. Didn’t smoke much. Couldn’t be bothered to smoke more of it.
Price: 8$/g or 100$/oz
Value: 100$/oz is fairly cheap, but this is some pretty bottom level quality kief. Guess it could do the job for someone on a tight budget.

Strain Fidelity: This is distillate. It’s mildly terped.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The pen is nice and very small, sleek, has a light that turns on when toking on it. Came into a nice little plastic box that’s strudy. The package kinda looks like it could be government stuff, but isn’t.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Very smooth, smoother than a lot of other distillate pens/carts I’ve tried.
Burn: 9/10 Produces a lot of vapor fast. Bigger or fast consecutive puffs will taste a bit burnt so do not abuse.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 The taste is fairly strong, but not overwhelming. The terp ratio is good.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The only taste I get out of it is Eucalyptus which is to say the least, unexpected. The package did not mention any flavor. While it’s surprising and unusual, it’s also pleasant. Reminds me of the spa :)
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Everyone knows I’m not a fan of distillate and it’s buzz. This one surprised me, not sure if it’s the smoothness that allows me to hit it harder, or if those eucalyptus terps are doing some magic, but I got a nice buzz out of this. Like all distillate the duration is kinda short, but the crash hasn’t been as hard as others I tried.
Price: 50$ regular, currently on sale at 35$
Value: 35$ wouldn’t be a deal, but still would be fair if the thing actually worked until the end. As it is, not something I’d recommend.
’A’ Scale Rating: N/A
Notes: It stopped working with about 1/3 left in it. Sucking on it makes the light turn on and flash, but absolutely nothing comes out but air, looks like the coil is toast.

Strain Name: Fat Boy blunt, house blend with distillate, rolled in kief
Strain Fidelity: No strain specified, WestCoastReleaf says it’s a house blend.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 Came into a plastic tube. Joint itself is well rolled. No complaints, but doesn’t look fancy, looks like a generic preroll dipped in distillaste and then rolled in generic kief.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth no complaints.
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper. Burned smooth and straight no canoing.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Kinda tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 I can’t say I’ve tasted anything particular. Super generic smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Nice buzz, again very generic. I was satisfiedly stoned, so there’s that.
Price: 20$ per unit
Value: Seems overpriced. Not something I’d buy whatever the price.

Strain Name: Unlabeled Preroll
Strain Fidelity: N/A, no idea what’s in there
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 4/10 The roll itself ain’t bad, but it has a very generic aroma
Cure & Humidity: 3/10 Dry and terpless
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Generic old weed
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 was fairly smooth
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper, burned straight.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Pretty much tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Virtually no discernable taste, generic as hell.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Did the job but nothing to write home about
Price: 5$ each, on special for 4.25$
Value: Whatever, none IMHO, would never pay for a preroll

Strain Name: Pineapple Expresss ’Premium Terp Sauce’
Strain Fidelity: 7/10 I’m a big fan of PE, this didn’t really taste like it but it has similar aromas
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice orangy/brown color, semi translucent. Texture is slightly grainy sauce, very slow moving. Smell is nice and strong, but not overpowering.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Smells enough that I had it open on my desk and I could smell it without putting my face to it. Nice exotic fruity aroma. In my experience PE is more piney than this, but this one leans more on the fruity side.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Some of the smoothest I’ve had. Really nice.
Burn: 10/10 I was able to clear the whole dab leaving just an ever so small amount of reclaim. I’ve rarely had extracts that got that far.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Very tasty, produces a lot of vapor.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 PE usually has a complex mix of fruit, pine and spice, this iteration of it really is more on the fruity side and somehow, the pine and spice really doesn’t come through. That said I did taste a very slight kush taste. Overall very pleasant, but not a super complex taste.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 No complaints, got me fucked. Hybrid buzz. Very sleeepy on come down though.
Price: 30$ regular price, on sale at 20$ right now
Value: Good deal at 30$, excellent value at 20$

Strain Name: Sour Blue Soda Bottles candy edibles by Sweeds, 120mg total, 6x 20mg candies
Strain Fidelity: N/A
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The candies look nice, are well shaped, the sour sugar on them was well set, they aren’t sticky/gooey unlike a lot of candy edibles I’ve seen. Very nice.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: N/A
Burn: N/A
Taste Intensity: 2/10 This tasted INTENSELY bitter, the sour sugar on it only made it worse. No fun eating those.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Overload of sourness/bitterness/distillate taste with fake raspberry on top. These taste strong and bad.
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 I got seriously fucked eating the whole bag, which is unusual for me, because 100-150mg is usually about where I start feeling something. This felt like a significantly stronger dose. Nice buzz too, not too sedative.
Price: 22.50$ per pack (they aren’t on the site anymore but same brand goes for that)
Value: I have a hard time evaluating prices on edibles, but these are significantly more expensive than say Twisted Extracts with similar advertized potency. That said, they are significantly stronger in actual potency, so... OK I guess?

Strain Name: Rockstar Kief
Strain Fidelity: N/A has virtualy no smell, taste isn’t what I know of Rockstar flower
Size of buds: N/A N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 This kief is pretty coarse, looks more like the stuff you’d find in the top bag after icewashing buds for hash. Lots of stems (very small), I can clearly see pistils in there with the microscope (sorry didn’t save pics, but you can see one in the pic, I removed a significantly larger one prior to taking the pic).
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Virutally no smell, the little that comes through is extremely generic
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Kief isn’t exactly known for it’s smoothness, but this wasn’t smooth.
Burn: 8/10 Burned alright no complaints.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Mosty harshness though
Taste Complexity: 1/10 Generic smoke, pretty much absolutely nothing interesting coming from this
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Gave me an OK buzz. Didn’t smoke much. Couldn’t be bothered to smoke more of it.
Price: 8$/g or 100$/oz
Value: 100$/oz is fairly cheap, but this is some pretty bottom level quality kief. Guess it could do the job for someone on a tight budget.

Communication: Courteous and warm, all good

Strain Name: Snoop Dogg OG
Strain Fidelity: First time having this strain but my research suggests it’s a cross of Lemon OG and Sour Diesel. I never had Lemon OG, but I’m familiar with Sour Diesel. I can’t say I get much lemon, sour or diesel in the smell or taste, so, I dunno!
Size of buds: 4/10 Tiny but it’s a 1g sample, came as 2 very small buds.
Bag Appeal: 6/10 Hard to judge at that size, but the trim is alright. The smell was peppery, reminescent of it’s OG lineage.
Cure & Humidity: 6/10 The cure seems alright but it came in very dry. It is often the case with 1g samples. There was a boveda included in the vac bag, but not individually.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Despite the dryness, this has a decently strong aroma. The smell is very similar to the typical kush strains that are all the rage lately.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 I half expected this to be ’yet another kush variant’ but I was pleasantly surprised. The smell is kushy, but the taste isn’t at all, it was more similar to the Sour Diesel I know, that super smooth creamy taste, a bit floral but not kushy. Above all, very very smooth, huge rips are no issue.
Burn: 10/10 Burns a nice very light grey
Taste Intensity: 8/10 As it usually is the case with very smooth smokes, it’s not particularly intense in terps, but the lack of smoke taste/coughing allows you to really enjoy the different tastes that are produced by this strain.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 I have a hard time describing the taste, it’s fairly unique. Very smooth, creamy, mix of sour and floral, very enjoyable smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 This is listed as a 70% indica hybrid, but it felt more balanced, perhaps even sativa leaning to me. Very clear headed yet strong buzz, creative, alert, a slight but minimal body buzz. Really enjoyed this buzz.
Price: Sold at 200$/OZ
Value: The fact I got dry popcorn makes it hard to put a value on it, but fresher, bigger buds of this would justify the price tag. A bag of tiny dry bugs like that wouldn’t. Hard to judge, could really go both ways.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+, would be AAAA if fresher/bigger

Strain Name: Charlie Sheen OG
Strain Fidelity: 10/10. It’s so close to what I got from BC Medi Chronic in November that I’m fairly sure it’s the same exact batch.
Size of buds: 8/10 Came as a big bud with a tiny one
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice colors, trim is decent but not amazing, smells dank, sticky, pretty dry though
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 Losing points to being dry, but everything else about it is perfect. It’s sticky, smells strong.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Strong kush smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 As usual for heavy kushy strains it ain’t the smoothest, but it’s a pleasasnt smoke nonetheless.
Burn: 7.5/10 Burns a bit dark (the BC Medi did too), but still burns nice and doesn’t have much harshness, so doesn’t look like a case of contaminants.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 It’s tasty, not much smoke taste coming through, very enjoyable.
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 It ain’t a subtle strain, this stuff is a heavy heavy kush with a tiny hint of citrus to it, let’s call it a high pitched kush. I’m not the biggest fan of kush strains usually but I enjoy this strain a lot.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Strong body buzz with a nice headhigh as well, I remember it being an hybrid and it shows.
Price: 170/OZ
Value: Well priced, actually significantly cheaper than BC Medi had it.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA- losing a bit of points to dark hash and dryness.

Strain Fidelity: 10/10 Classic Nuken, Piney with a sweet fruit touch
Size of buds: 4/10 Tiny buds (1g sample was 3 buds)
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Tiny buds not helping, it’s fairly dry, nose is present but muted. Some weird whitish flake on one of the buds (seen on the pictures)
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Cure isn’t too bad, there’s decent smell and taste despite the dryness
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Nice smell out of the bag but not very strong. A bit more fragrance is released on grinding.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 Typical Nuken, not smooth but not harsh either, decent amount of taste
Burn: 6/10 Salt and Pepper, but more pepper than salt
Taste Intensity: 7/10 It’s fairly tasty but also has that combustion/smoke taste that’s covering the terps a bit.
Taste Complexity: 7.5/10 Classic Nuken, not exactly a strain that’s subtle. Domimantly pine but covered with that sweet ripe fruit. There’s that smoke that comes in between it all.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 Typical Nuken, competent but not heavy indica buzz.
Price: 140/OZ
Value: Nuken is one of those strains that’s everywhere and cheap, 140$ even for solid Nuken is a bit steep. Best Nuken I had was a 99$ OZ and it was very similar to this, but much fresher. 1g samples are brutal for humidity though.

MOM Name: The Prince’s Private Reserve
Overall rating out of 10: 9/10
Sign Up: Simple, no frills, no ID required
Ordering & Pricing: Not cheap, but this is a craft cannabis MOM so totally expected. Didn’t really check the menu real close, I was coming for the 150$ Romu...lan :)
Communication: Excellent, while it’s my first order, I’ve been in contact with PPR through Discord since he came around
Packaging: Big box within which there was a vac bag, each strain was in a mylar-style bag. The mylars were not sealed. The vac bag had some air so no bud crushing occurred. There was a small hole at the seam where the vac bag was sealed, I informed PPR and he identified an issue with one of his sealers and replaced it after I reported it. There was some smell in the box because of that hole, but it was minimal. The bigger box was also sealed anyway. Overall, one of the best packaging jobs I’ve seen short of the little hickup which is now fixed.

Strain Name: Romulan (by Sacred Gardens)
Strain Fidelity: 6/10 I rarely note that review point, but I’ve had quite a bit of Romulan in my life and this one feels very different from what I know of this strain. The Romulan I know has a complex taste that is a mix of pine, skunk and fruit in about equal measures. This one is 100% fruit to me.
Size of buds: 8.5/10 Nice medium to large buds
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 This is sexy stuff. Much less green than the Rom I’m used to, but gorgeous nonetheless. Big orange hair. Buds are round and fat, excellent trim.
Cure & Humidity: I would almost separate cure and humidity and give them distinct values for this one. The cure is 10/10 but the humidity is 5/10. Despite being pretty dry, it kept it’s terps and it smells strong, indicating a solid cure.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 The smell is extremely fruity and strong, stinks the room if you leave the jar open too long. Jarred it at 10pm, went to visit friends and when I came back at 2am, the room still smelled enough to be obvious.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 It isn’t harsh, but it isn’t particularly smooth either. The good news is you mostly taste terps, so it’s not an excess of smoke taste that breaks the smoothness. Smokes decent despite this, just can’t take huge rips without coughing.
Burn: 6/10 Based on ash color alone, I’d be very concerned, it burns almost completely black. That said, it burns well and doesn’t have close to the harshness you’d expect from this color of ash. I suppose this aspect is what explains the low price :)
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Strong fruity terps
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Pretty unidimentional, it just tastes like ripe fruit, something like pear/peach/apple. Very pleasant, but not a whole lot of depth.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Heavy ass indica, I passed out on the couch not too long after smoking this lol.
Price: 150/oz
Value: Excellent value for the price, most MOMs would sell this for 200+.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+
Notes: If I were doing a blind test and getting this bud, I would have thought it was Watermelon. It’s really the same kind of super intense fruit terps that doesn’t even smell like weed, but also just reeks of sweetness. The Romulan I’m used too is piney and skunky as well, so this Romulan is something new/different to me. Guessing it’s a pheno that strayed away from the pure breed :)

Strain Name: Storm Warning (by GreaseGodz)
Strain Fidelity: Legit no idea what that stuff is. PPR’s site doesn’t say anything, can’t find the name referenced anywhere. Definitely has some kush in it, reminds me of Charlie Sheen, Gelato, that heavy kush body odour and pepper dank.
Size of buds: 8/10 A bunch of fairly big buds, pretty evenly sized, but no monsters
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 This stuff is leafy, but it’s also a bit fluffy so I understand why it was left with so many leaves. Despite this, it has a lot of purple, it’s frosty and it smells strong. The buds are visibly pretty damn dry though, so it looses some points there.
Cure & Humidity: Just like the Romulan, it’s got a perfect 10/10 cure, but a 5/10 dryness that’s less than ideal. Especially with the leafyness, these buds are almost brittle. I’m hoping some time with an integra pack will help improve this.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Stinks up the room with that heavy kush smell, just smelling this you know it’s gonna be a heavy hitter. The stink lingers too, loud.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 This is some serious gourmet shit. Absolutely zero harshness, smooth as silk. The taste isn’t as loud as the smell might suggest, but it’s tasty and nice.
Burn: 10/10 Almost white, intense cherry, perfect.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Not the most intense taste, but there is like zero smoke taste coming through so you can really taste the terps well and clearly.
Taste Complexity: 10/10 Weed that doesn’t taste like smoke is the best, you get to taste the full spectrum of the terps. This is a prime example. You can taste the kush, some earth, some pepper/spice, some lemon hints, coffee/chocolate as well. While these are not necessarily all terps that are in my prefered palate, this weed is an amazing blend of tastes, a lot of subtlety.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Don’t even know if it has sativa or not since I can’t find shit on that strain, but it definitely feels mostly indica but not too sleepy, so I guess it might have a tiny bit of sativa in there.
Price: 225/oz
Value: Good value at 225/oz, hangs in there with all the stuff I paid more for :P
’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA, would be + if less dry, craft quality stuff
Incentive for Customers: None
Incentive for Review: None
Notes: There was also a sample of Cherry Pie by Rainzforest. I smoked that one before snagging pics and it was nothing special. It burned very dark and didn’t have much taste. I didn’t finish the joint.

Strain Name: Storm Warning (by GreaseGodz)
Strain Fidelity: Legit no idea what that stuff is. PPR’s site doesn’t say anything, can’t find the name referenced anywhere. Definitely has some kush in it, reminds me of Charlie Sheen, Gelato, that heavy kush body odour and pepper dank.
Size of buds: 8/10 A bunch of fairly big buds, pretty evenly sized, but no monsters
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 This stuff is leafy, but it’s also a bit fluffy so I understand why it was left with so many leaves. Despite this, it has a lot of purple, it’s frosty and it smells strong. The buds are visibly pretty damn dry though, so it looses some points there.
Cure & Humidity: Just like the Romulan, it’s got a perfect 10/10 cure, but a 5/10 dryness that’s less than ideal. Especially with the leafyness, these buds are almost brittle. I’m hoping some time with an integra pack will help improve this.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Stinks up the room with that heavy kush smell, just smelling this you know it’s gonna be a heavy hitter. The stink lingers too, loud.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 This is some serious gourmet shit. Absolutely zero harshness, smooth as silk. The taste isn’t as loud as the smell might suggest, but it’s tasty and nice.
Burn: 10/10 Almost white, intense cherry, perfect.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Not the most intense taste, but there is like zero smoke taste coming through so you can really taste the terps well and clearly.
Taste Complexity: 10/10 Weed that doesn’t taste like smoke is the best, you get to taste the full spectrum of the terps. This is a prime example. You can taste the kush, some earth, some pepper/spice, some lemon hints, coffee/chocolate as well. While these are not necessarily all terps that are in my prefered palate, this weed is an amazing blend of tastes, a lot of subtlety.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Don’t even know if it has sativa or not since I can’t find shit on that strain, but it definitely feels mostly indica but not too sleepy, so I guess it might have a tiny bit of sativa in there.
Price: 225/oz
Value: Good value at 225/oz, hangs in there with all the stuff I paid more for :P
’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA, would be + if less dry, craft quality stuff
Incentive for Customers: None
Incentive for Review: None
Notes: There was also a sample of Cherry Pie by Rainzforest. I smoked that one before snagging pics and it was nothing special. It burned very dark and didn’t have much taste. I didn’t finish the joint.

Hey everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve done a review. A friend was making a big order off Enigma and asked if I wanted to pitch in and I took the occasion to sample some of Enigma’s wares to see what all the hype is about.
MOM Name: Enigma Extracts
Overall rating o...ut of 10: 9/10
Sign Up: N/A
Ordering & Pricing: Talked to him on Discord to get a sense of what I should try based on my preferences. Went with his suggestions.
Communication: Enigma is a very nice guy, always joking and trolling around on Discord, despite never having ordered from him, I’ve had a lot of interactions with him over time. Always quick to reply, very helpful, 10/10
Packaging: PEANUTS!!! Perfect packaging, big box full of packing peanuts. He took time to separate my order from my friend’s, each labeled and vac-sealed individually. A humidity pack in the weed would have been nice but I’m nitpicking at this point.

Strain Name: Fruit Loops Diamonds
Strain Fidelity: First time having that strain but it’s a cross of Blue Dream and White Widow. Can’t say I recognize any of the two taste-wise.
Size of buds: 10/10 This ain’t flower, but as you can see from the picture, these are some heavy duty boulders.
Bag Appeal: 10/10 Absolutely gorgeous. Big fat and hard diamonds in a very moderate amount of sauce. The sauce is thick and didn’t even move during transport. Color is rich and nice. Diamonds themselves are very pale. A thing of beauty.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 10/10 Most extracts tend to have very moderate nose, this is strong and very fruity, smells amazing.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 5/10 High Cannabinoid extracts are always kinda harsh, but I couldn’t take a draw from this without coughing. The vapor is suffocating right from the start, not just on exhale. I’ve had worse, but it’s not exactly a pleasant ’smoke’.
Burn: N/A
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 The contents being mostly diamonds which look pretty ’pure’, the taste isn’t overwhelming but it’s present on inhale and exhale, very very fruity and sweet.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 It’s a bit of a one trick pony, sweet fruit, tiniest amount of floral... but it’s hard to enjoy when you’re coughing your lungs out.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 About what I expect from an hybrid. Didnd’t get me super stoned, but it was still a good hybrid buzz. Nice and clean.
Price: 70$/g (I paid less than that because I pooled up in a bulk order)
Value: ??? Hard to say, first time having actual boulders I know that shit takes time. I’ve had great HCFSE at 30-40$/g.. 70$ def feels a bit steep, but diamonds are a labor of love soooooo... ?

Strain Name: Crumbled Lime FSE Cart
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain. Definitely has a lime taste.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 10/10 The liquid in the cart is thick and has a nice pale color, it’s translucent and has no weirdness to it.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 This stuff is smooth as silk. I’ve smoked a few distillate carts and none of them were even close to as smooth as this. I can take a full 10s draw on my Pico, get a fat cloud and get zero coughing. Super nice.
Burn: 8/10 It does have a slight burn taste if I draw the whole 10 sec. I have my wattage set at the lowest that will produce vapor (which is 3.8w)
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Nice strong taste
Taste Complexity: 9/10 The lime terps are undeniable, it’s a fresh citrusy slightly bitter taste that’s almost exactly like actual lime. There is a slight kush/floral backdrop but it’s almost completely dominated by the sweet sour lime tones. I’m not a huge fan of lime, but this is proper.
Buzz Intensity: 6/10 A bit of a letdown for me. The strain is supposed to be a 70% sativa and in my experience, hybrids hit harder than this. Kept reading about Discord users saying they were stoned on those carts after 2-3 draws... Well not me and I have a pretty low tolerance. On the first evening I must have smoked 30+ draws... Reached a plateau on the buzz at 5-6 draws maybe, all others had virtually no effect. Figured I had destroyed my tolerance in a single night, but smoking half a joint of flower still puts me on my ass at a buzz that’s much more intense than what I can get from the cart. That said, it’s a very nice mellow buzz, not a sleeper/downer, exactly what I was looking for for a quick hit in awkward places.
Price: Sells for 80$/each on the site, got it cheaper because bulk
Value: While 80$ for a cart is steep as fuck, carts that aren’t distillate pretty much are inexistant on the market except this and a few other expensive options. I’d rather pay 80$ for this than 30-40$ for some shitty distillate that only makes me sleep and provides little buzz.

Strain Name: Pine Tar Kush
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain. Looks like it’s an OG pheno maybe? Definitely a unique smell.
Size of buds: 7/10 Some bigger ones (pictured are the 3 biggest), some smaller ones, nothing out of the ordinary
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Nothing about these buds screams. Bud size is pretty uneventful, colors are very green with ever so slight purples here and there, trim is nice, buds aren’t leafy or compact (somewhere in between).
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 While the cure is good, they came in pretty dry. Enigma tells me it was their last quarter and that it sat for almost 2 weeks before being shipped (we paid with cash in mail). It was in a very thin mylar-style bag with no humidity pack (should have asked for one, didn’t think to). Allbuds describes this as super sticky, not the case here.
Smell Intensity: Smell out of the bag was nice but not strong. Breaking the buds didn’t release much more smell. Grinding it for max potential was still a bit uneventful, can definitely smell the terps but they are muted.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very good quality smoke, very smooth.
Burn: 9.5/10 excellent almost white
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 The dryness took away from the experience a bit. The smoothness saved it. The taste is pretty tame, but it’s good until the last puff in a joint, so can’t complain.
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 I expected way more pine, I can still taste it, but there’s other stuff in the mix, some earth, some wood, bit of kush. Very nice taste, shame it wasn’t fresher to get the full potential.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 This is a sneaky one. It’s smooth, which I usually get from weak potency strains, but it comes and hits you like a truck when you’re done smoking the joint. Heavy body buzz mixed with a strong hazy headhigh. Perfect thing to bypass your evening and go straight to a 12h nap lol.
Price: 55$/Q on site, paid a bit less cause bulk
Value: The price is right

Won’t be reviewing using the MOM template, this was a win, ordered through Discord.. Plus I already reviewed them a few weeks ago, refer to my other review for more information!
To put everyone in context, they had a contest for October where anyone who submitted a review of their products... was eligible to win 1000, 700, 500 or 250$ in store credit. I won the 1000$ prize and ordered 7.5OZ with bulk pricing.

Strain Name: Love Potion #1
Strain Fidelity: First time having it, G13 and Columbian Gold cross, neither of which I had pure versions of.
Size of buds: 8.5/10 Very long but narrow buds. 2-3g each.
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Very unique looking, rarely had buds so narrow and long. The trim is good, but the bud structure is kind of loose so there are some visible leaves all over. Extremely fresh, a bit sticky, strong smell, really nice.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Losing a bit of points because it’s perhaps a tiny bit too humid. More on this in the burn evaluation. Very terpy so cure is on point, but need some jar time/burping to cure a bit more.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Strong dank smell. The predominant smell is cheesy/skunky, but there’s a background of fruit/sweetness. Reminds me a lot of Pineapple Express, but funkier, less fruity.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Super smooth smoke
Burn 6/10 Burns salt/pepper, didn’t burn out or anything, but it definitely could burn better.
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 Like most skunky/cheesy strains, tastes less intense than it smells, but it was very terpy the whole way through.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Very enjoyable taste, creamy cheese main taste with some fruit (tropical/citrus), much less sweet than it smells, perhaps even a bit of sourness
Buzz Intensity: 8.5/10 For a sativa leaning hybrid, this hit pretty hard. The buzz howerver felt more indica, really made me sleepy fast, didn’t get much energy from this.
Price: 200$/OZ
Value: The burn/wetness is it’s only problem, not a bad deal at 200$ and I got bulk pricing on it so paid 135 for it. Totally satisfied!

Strain Name: Grape Ape
Strain Fidelity: First time having it, supposed to be a Mendicino Purp x Skunk x Afghani cross. Only ever had Skunk out of these and I can’t quite feel it in the nose or taste.
Size of buds: 8/10 Most nugs are around 1-3g, no shake, no tiny buds, some very minimal popcorn
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice trim, the purple/orange/green color mix is breathtaking, it’s a bit dry though. The mute smell is a turn off.
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 A bit dry on the outside, borderline hay smell, but once broken up it’s good decent humidity inside. Prob will improve with some jar time.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Bit of a hay/floral/generic smell right out of the bag with a slight grape smell. Once broken up it’s much stronger and reveals a distinctive kush smell (unexpected given the lineage), but not a room stinker even ground.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 This was a fairly smooth smoke. Was able to take big rips on the joint without choking.
Burn 7.5/10 Salt and pepper, but burned well despite this
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 The terps are coming through but are faint. Smoke is disrupting a bit.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Slight sour grape taste. The kush I detected in the nose comes through as well but very faintly. Reminds me a bit of Purple Space Cookies overall.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 This is listed as an indica, but it gave me a buzz that was fairly light and more hybrid/sativa leaning.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 122 bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff a lot of MOMs would try to pass as a quad but it’s really just a decent triple. Wouldn’t be happy paying 195 for this, this is more 150ish territory to me.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA, borderline AAA+

Strain Name: Grand Daddy Purple
Strain Fidelity: Yet another classic I had never tried and heard a lot about. A cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud. I tried Purple Urkle a few times before, had a few Big Bud crosses but never the real deal. I can see slight similatities with Purple Urkle.
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Average sized buds, nothing too small, nothing big.
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Good trim, nice colors, but nothing crazy look-wise. Certainly not as amazing as the pics shown on their site. Not much smell out of the bag, very floral/generic.
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 Bit dry on the outside, but decent inside. Smell comes out much better once broken up.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Once broken up it’s got a nice aroma. Not a room stinker but still pretty odorant.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth smoke
Burn 8.5 More salt than pepper, but not white.
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Definitely not a terp overload, but you can make out the terps well.
Taste Complexity: 8/10 Some grape hints, more sour than sweet, more of a ’high pitched’ taste. Really not bad, but fairly tame taste.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 A nice mellow indica buzz, not for chronic smokers.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 128/OZ in bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff I expect to find at 180ish/OZ so 195 is close enough. Fresher it would warrant that 195 tag, as is, it might be a bit dry for it.

Strain Name: Blue Cap Crush
Strain Fidelity: Unclear origins, said to be a cross of Orange Crush and either Blue Dream or Blueberry. 90% sativa they say.
Size of buds: 7/10 A mix of different sizes but mostly on the smaller side of things.
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Nothing special. Has a nice trim, colors are fairly generic, not super caked. Nothing bad, nothing amazing.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Good freshness throughout, no complaints here, good smell out of the bag too.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 A mostly fruity nose, not super intense but really nice nose. One of the best smelling bags from this order.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 A bit ambivalent on this one, it’s got a small harshness but it’s not from smoke, I think it’s really the terp profile. It’s one of those ’high pitched’ tastes, kinda sharp/dry. Bigger rips caused me to cough, but smaller ones were manageable. Lots of terps though.
Burn 9/10 Nice burn, salt with a bit of pepper.
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 The terps definitely dominate the taste here, barely get any smoke taste
Taste Complexity: 9/10 There’s definitely some blueberry coming through, I’d say dominantly, but it’s not a sweet taste, more like sour blueberries. There’s also an undeniable skunkiness to it which totally did not announce itself in the nose, but the taste has some old school funk mixed with the sour blueberry, very nice.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Definitely a strongly sativa leaning buzz, for a sativa it hits pretty hard!
Price: 195/OZ, paid 120 bulk
Value: I’d say it’s worth it’s 195 tag. The slight harshness in the smoke is the only ’issue’ with it but it’s slight enough.

Strain Name: Sunset Sherbet
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain.
Size of buds: 3/10 This OZ was straight popcorn with few average nugs. Not announced as such on the site.
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Generic looking, good trim, mute smell, no special colors, not particularly caked, pretty sad looking weed.
Cure & Humidity: 4/10 Dry to the core. Still has some flexibility so it’s not totally dead, but it’s way past it’s prime.
Smell Intensity: 4/10 A slight sweet fruity smell barely makes it out of a floral/borderline hay smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Smokes better than it looks, relatively smooth but burns hot because of how dry it is.
Burn 9/10 Almost white
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Doesn’t have much terps coming through, very generic smoke
Taste Complexity: 5/10 Tiny hints of the fruit in the nose come through, but it’s like once every 5 puffs. Really not much to look at here.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Fairly week buzz, felt like a balanced hybrid, didn’t last long.
Price: 195/OZ paid 140 bulk
Value: I wouldn’t be trilled paying 100$ for an OZ of this. I’ve had much better.
’A’ Scale Rating: AA
Notes: The dryness kills this one before it’s even in the race.

Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 This was a fairly smooth smoke. Was able to take big rips on the joint without choking.
Burn 7.5/10 Salt and pepper, but burned well despite this
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 The terps are coming through but are faint. Smoke is disrupting a bit.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Slight sour grape taste. The kush I detected in the nose comes through as well but very faintly. Reminds me a bit of Purple Space Cookies overall.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 This is listed as an indica, but it gave me a buzz that was fairly light and more hybrid/sativa leaning.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 122 bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff a lot of MOMs would try to pass as a quad but it’s really just a decent triple. Wouldn’t be happy paying 195 for this, this is more 150ish territory to me.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA, borderline AAA+

Strain Name: Grand Daddy Purple
Strain Fidelity: Yet another classic I had never tried and heard a lot about. A cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud. I tried Purple Urkle a few times before, had a few Big Bud crosses but never the real deal. I can see slight similatities with Purple Urkle.
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Average sized buds, nothing too small, nothing big.
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Good trim, nice colors, but nothing crazy look-wise. Certainly not as amazing as the pics shown on their site. Not much smell out of the bag, very floral/generic.
Cure & Humidity: 7.5/10 Bit dry on the outside, but decent inside. Smell comes out much better once broken up.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Once broken up it’s got a nice aroma. Not a room stinker but still pretty odorant.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth smoke
Burn 8.5 More salt than pepper, but not white.
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Definitely not a terp overload, but you can make out the terps well.
Taste Complexity: 8/10 Some grape hints, more sour than sweet, more of a ’high pitched’ taste. Really not bad, but fairly tame taste.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 A nice mellow indica buzz, not for chronic smokers.
Price: 195/OZ, paid 128/OZ in bulk
Value: This is the kind of stuff I expect to find at 180ish/OZ so 195 is close enough. Fresher it would warrant that 195 tag, as is, it might be a bit dry for it.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+

Strain Name: Blue Cap Crush
Strain Fidelity: Unclear origins, said to be a cross of Orange Crush and either Blue Dream or Blueberry. 90% sativa they say.
Size of buds: 7/10 A mix of different sizes but mostly on the smaller side of things.
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Nothing special. Has a nice trim, colors are fairly generic, not super caked. Nothing bad, nothing amazing.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Good freshness throughout, no complaints here, good smell out of the bag too.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 A mostly fruity nose, not super intense but really nice nose. One of the best smelling bags from this order.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7.5/10 A bit ambivalent on this one, it’s got a small harshness but it’s not from smoke, I think it’s really the terp profile. It’s one of those ’high pitched’ tastes, kinda sharp/dry. Bigger rips caused me to cough, but smaller ones were manageable. Lots of terps though.
Burn 9/10 Nice burn, salt with a bit of pepper.
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 The terps definitely dominate the taste here, barely get any smoke taste
Taste Complexity: 9/10 There’s definitely some blueberry coming through, I’d say dominantly, but it’s not a sweet taste, more like sour blueberries. There’s also an undeniable skunkiness to it which totally did not announce itself in the nose, but the taste has some old school funk mixed with the sour blueberry, very nice.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Definitely a strongly sativa leaning buzz, for a sativa it hits pretty hard!
Price: 195/OZ, paid 120 bulk
Value: I’d say it’s worth it’s 195 tag. The slight harshness in the smoke is the only ’issue’ with it but it’s slight enough.

Strain Name: Sunset Sherbet
Strain Fidelity: Never had that strain.
Size of buds: 3/10 This OZ was straight popcorn with few average nugs. Not announced as such on the site.
Bag Appeal: 5/10 Generic looking, good trim, mute smell, no special colors, not particularly caked, pretty sad looking weed.
Cure & Humidity: 4/10 Dry to the core. Still has some flexibility so it’s not totally dead, but it’s way past it’s prime.
Smell Intensity: 4/10 A slight sweet fruity smell barely makes it out of a floral/borderline hay smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Smokes better than it looks, relatively smooth but burns hot because of how dry it is.
Burn 9/10 Almost white
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Doesn’t have much terps coming through, very generic smoke
Taste Complexity: 5/10 Tiny hints of the fruit in the nose come through, but it’s like once every 5 puffs. Really not much to look at here.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Fairly week buzz, felt like a balanced hybrid, didn’t last long.
Price: 195/OZ paid 140 bulk
Value: I wouldn’t be trilled paying 100$ for an OZ of this. I’ve had much better.
’A’ Scale Rating: AA
Notes: The dryness kills this one before it’s even in the race.

Strain Name: Pre-98 Bubba
Strain Fidelity: First time having Pre-98 bubba, but it’s one of the strains that was recommended to me several times when looking for skunk because of it’s old school intensity.
Size of buds: 8/10 One nice sized bud
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Nice trim, nice purple hues and darker greens, bright orange hairs, strong old school dank smell. Without smoking it, you know you’re in for a treat.
Cure & Humidity: 9/10 Superb terps locked inside, nice humidity, good job on all accounts
Smell Intensity: 8.5/10 It’s got a pretty strong smell and it made my wife bitch (she didn’t like it, lol). Definitely an old school vibe to it, not quite skunky but rank and dank, almost kushy, body odor type smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 Bubba strains are rarely super smooth and this one is no exception. It has a strong taste that can be a bit overwhelming, smoke does come through a bit too.
Burn 10/10 Tight white ash, cigar like
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Smells similar to how it taste, with a sharpness that is a bit unexpected. Overpowers the smoke real well, but the smoke is present and discernable.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 A bit of classic bubba, some definitive funk and skunkiness, bit of spice/herbal, very nice strain.
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 Strong full mind and body buzz that lasts longer than usual, this is some heavy duty shit.
Price: Couldn’t find the product on the site just now, so I assume they ran out. Most of their strains seem to be 200$ tops except a few.
Value: Definitely would not be a steal at 200$, good stuff

Strain Name: Charlie Sheen
Strain Fidelity: A cross of Blue Dream, OG Kush and Green Crack, all strains I’ve tried. Definitely has a strong kush background so the OG definitely comes through strong.
Size of buds: 8/10 Nice sized bud sample
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Look-wise, it’s nothing crazy, has a nice trim, nice vibrant greens, nice orange hairs. What really grabs the attention is the rank and dank smell, but also it’s stickyness. This is literally the stickest weed I’ve seen in 20+ years, even breaking the bud with my hands every single part composing this bud is sticky, down to the stem, absolutely crazy.
Cure & Humidity: 9.5/10 My poor, poor grinder. This stuff didn’t grind, it lumped up in balls of sticky, hard the hardest time turning the grinder. The 0.5 loss is because of the lumping, but I’m nitpicking, cause it rolled well and burned well despite this.
Smell Intensity: 9/10 Smells awesome and strong
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Strong kushes usually come out as a bit harsh, this isn’t the case at all, smokes super smooth, absolutely perfect
Burn 10/10 Insane oil ring, more oil and the thing might have dripped. Burns white.
Taste Intensity: 10/10 No noticeable smoke/combustion taste, intense terps, very very enjoyable experience
Taste Complexity: 9/10 A strong kush, some lemon/sharp/sour mixed in there, some hints of skunk. Amazing strain.
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 This is an hybrid and it shows, got a strong full mind and body buzz that lasted a long time. Had intense and wild dreams that night too, which is unusual for me.
Price: 225/OZ
Value: Absolutely worth it.

Strain Name: Wonder Woman
Strain Fidelity: As per wikileaf: ’The father is the product of crossing a landrace Thai, Haze and Skunk #1 hybrid mother with one of his own pure Skunk #1 males.’. Can’t say I recognized much of those in there. Reminds me of Dancehall.
Size of buds: 7/10 One of the smaller samples, average sized bud.
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Not a fan of that type of weed, has a bit of a brownish look, the whole structure inside when you break it up is like small scale, very thin end stems, very small leaves, not much trichomes. Smell is nice, but not super strong. Trim is nice.
Cure & Humidity: 8.5/10 Good humidity, smells came out stronger when breaking it up
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Like several fruity strains, it doesn’t have a very intense smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8.5/10 Very smooth, but you can taste the smoke through it fairly well.
Burn 10/10 White ash
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 You can taste the terps well through the smoke
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The dominating taste is fruity, kinda like dried berries/grapes, a bit of similarity with cherry strains. Some herbal and dampness tones in the background that are less pleasant.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Feels like an hybrid buzz, not very strong, but pleasant.
Price: 210/OZ
Value: Fairly average but no bad scores, just nothing that really stands out, personally would be a bit sad paying 210 for this. Would feel fairer at 160-180ish.

Strain Name: Gelato (unspecified pheno)
Strain Fidelity: Definitely has that signature dank smell and taste of the few Gelato samples I’ve had (45 and 3)
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Fairly average, had one bigger bud and a smaller one
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Gorgeous colors, caked, strong stapple gelato smell, good trim, very good looking weed.
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Could have been a bit fresher, but well within reasonnable levels. A bit sticky.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Not outrageously strong, but definitely spreads to the room pretty fast.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 It had a tinge of harshness, but it’s smooth overall. I had a cough when I tried this so it’s possible the perceived harshness was just that.
Burn 10/10 Nice white ash, no issues
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Nice strong taste, but it has a bit of smoke/combustion taste mixing with the terps.
Taste Complexity: 8/10 Predominant strong taste of kush (the gassy body odor type) mixed with some citrus, very nice
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Nice strong buzz, felt indica leaning hybrid. Didn’t last super long, but I’ve been smoking more lately, so it could just be my tolerance playing tricks.
Price: 150/OZ
Value: Priced right, better than a lot of 200$+ weed I’ve tried, good deal at 150

Strain Name: Lemon Cookies
Strain Fidelity: The classic GSC smell and taste is there, full on, with a slight lemon/citrus touch. Sounds about right ;)
Size of buds: 8/10 A single nice sized bud
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Looks fairly generic other than the long hairs. Trim is nice but still has half-leaves all over. Not much of a looker, but nothing wrong with it either.
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Proper, could be a bit fresher but otherwise no complaints
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Not the strongest of smell, but it’s a nice smell, very pleasant
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Smooth as silk, the type of weed where you pretty much can’t taste the smoke, it’s 100% terps.
Burn 10/10 White ash, steady burn, perfect
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Like most GSC strains, it’s not a strong taste but the lack of smoke taste allows you to fully enjoy it.
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 This taste predominantly of ’generic GSC’, lacks the peppery/spicy side of thin mints or forum cut, but has a very doughy/creamy taste and smoke. Less predominant is a very nice sweet citrus/lemon taste that blends perfectly with the doughy main. Very pleasant smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 Like most ’generic’ GSC close relatives, it’s not the strongest weed in terms of potency, but it’s a nice well rounded hybrid buzz.
Price: 195/OZ
Value: Priced fairly

Strain Name: God’s Green Crack
Strain Fidelity: I’ve had this strain several times, always as samples, and I’ve always had a ’meh’ experience with it and I can’t quite pinpoint what exactly is ’typical’ GGC. It just feels like ultra generic weed to me and well, this one fits the bill, so I guess... I dunno?
Size of buds: 8/10 One nice sized bud with 2 tiny ones
Bag Appeal: 9.5/10 It’s losing 0.5 to the smell because like I said, generic, but damn those colors and trichs are really nice looking. The GGC I had before was always much greener, this one has some rich purples and very dark greens.
Cure & Humidity: 5/10 This was by far the driest sample of the lot and it was well past it’s prime, dry to the core. When I ground it, I ended up with a significant amount of dust on the table.
Smell Intensity: 5/10 The dryness killed this one, borderline hay, but once broken up the terps woke up a bit.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Not as bad as I thought it would be considering how dry it was, it was a fairly pleasant smoke in terms of smoothness.
Burn 9/10 Burned white and well.
Taste Intensity: 7/10 Not tasteless, not too harsh.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Again the dryness tanks it, most of the terps, whatever they were, are long dead. Best I can describe it is generic/flowery. As the terp hound that I am, I had no fun smoking this.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Decent hybrid buzz, leaning sativa, fairly average
Price: 185/OZ
Value: Perhaps a fresher version of this might work out better, but as it is, this is barely 100$/OZ material in my book
’A’ Scale Rating: AA+
Notes: Dryness is the overreaching problem with this strain. The look is absolutely exotic and breathtaking, it’s sad to see such a nice bud ruined by excessive dryness.

Strain Name: Jet Fuel
Strain Fidelity: Only ever had Jet Fuel once and it was very different from this. This one was kushy, while the other I had was fruity with no kushyness at all. Not sure what’s going on here?
Size of buds: 8.5/10 A single nice sized bud
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Fairly generic looking, nice trim, noticeably dry on first look, not much smell
Cure & Humidity: 6.5/10 This was dry, not as bad as the GGC, but definitely drier than I like.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Not very strong, mostly because of the dryness. Once busted up it showed a bit more personality.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very pleasant smoke, smooth!
Burn 9/10 White ash, burned well
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Surprisingly more tasty than expected
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Like I said in my mind this strain is usually fruity, I get absolutely none of that here. It’s really a typical kush taste, but more airy/gassy however. This is surprising to me, Jet Fuel is supposed to be a sativa and I really don’t associate the kush smell to sativas.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Fairly average buzz, definitely sativaish
Price: 175/OZ
Value: Kinda steep at 175, would be more aptly priced at 130ish IMHO

Strain Name: Red Congolese Live Resin
Strain Fidelity: Never had Red Congo! Baptism by fireeee!
Size of buds: N/A
Jar Appeal: 8/10 Not goopy at all, has a slick greasy/doughy appearance. Color is fairly light.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 4/10 Not much smell right out of the jar
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Well done live resin, very smooth, I can take nice draws and not cough
Burn N/A
Taste Intensity: 10/10 Nice rich full flavored (’dabbed’ in pico/sai from 280 to 420f, started really showing taste at 330 which is higher than most concentrates)
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Often seen this strain described as spicy, didn’t get much of that. I got a taste that I associate with older landrace sativa strains, very similar to Lamb’s Breath. It’s similar to a kush profile, but more flowery with a tinge of spice
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Nice clear headhigh buzz, almost no body buzz, typical of a strong sativa
Price: 60/G
Value: Fairly priced, but I have a psychological barrier of 50$ for live resin considering lots of places offer it for that. That said, this was some good shit and it’s the first time I see Red Congo live resin, so kudos!
’A’ Scale Rating: AAAA
Incentive for Customers: N/A
Incentive for Review: Samples offered for free for a review, unbiased as usual.
Notes: Very impressed by the humidity levels on most strains, samples from most MOMs are either bone dry or beyond their prime, so it’s refreshing and nice to get plush and fresh product that’s been properly cured and preserved!

Cure & Humidity: 5/10 This was by far the driest sample of the lot and it was well past it’s prime, dry to the core. When I ground it, I ended up with a significant amount of dust on the table.
Smell Intensity: 5/10 The dryness killed this one, borderline hay, but once broken up the terps woke up a bit.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Not as bad as I thought it would be considering how dry it was, it was a fairly pleasant smoke in terms of smoothness.
Burn 9/10 Burned white and well.
Taste Intensity: 7/10 Not tasteless, not too harsh.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Again the dryness tanks it, most of the terps, whatever they were, are long dead. Best I can describe it is generic/flowery. As the terp hound that I am, I had no fun smoking this.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Decent hybrid buzz, leaning sativa, fairly average
Price: 185/OZ
Value: Perhaps a fresher version of this might work out better, but as it is, this is barely 100$/OZ material in my book
’A’ Scale Rating: AA+
Notes: Dryness is the overreaching problem with this strain. The look is absolutely exotic and breathtaking, it’s sad to see such a nice bud ruined by excessive dryness.

Strain Name: Jet Fuel
Strain Fidelity: Only ever had Jet Fuel once and it was very different from this. This one was kushy, while the other I had was fruity with no kushyness at all. Not sure what’s going on here?
Size of buds: 8.5/10 A single nice sized bud
Bag Appeal: 7/10 Fairly generic looking, nice trim, noticeably dry on first look, not much smell
Cure & Humidity: 6.5/10 This was dry, not as bad as the GGC, but definitely drier than I like.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Not very strong, mostly because of the dryness. Once busted up it showed a bit more personality.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very pleasant smoke, smooth!
Burn 9/10 White ash, burned well
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Surprisingly more tasty than expected
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Like I said in my mind this strain is usually fruity, I get absolutely none of that here. It’s really a typical kush taste, but more airy/gassy however. This is surprising to me, Jet Fuel is supposed to be a sativa and I really don’t associate the kush smell to sativas.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Fairly average buzz, definitely sativaish
Price: 175/OZ
Value: Kinda steep at 175, would be more aptly priced at 130ish IMHO
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA

Strain Name: Red Congolese Live Resin
Strain Fidelity: Never had Red Congo! Baptism by fireeee!
Size of buds: N/A
Jar Appeal: 8/10 Not goopy at all, has a slick greasy/doughy appearance. Color is fairly light.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 4/10 Not much smell right out of the jar
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Well done live resin, very smooth, I can take nice draws and not cough
Burn N/A
Taste Intensity: 10/10 Nice rich full flavored (’dabbed’ in pico/sai from 280 to 420f, started really showing taste at 330 which is higher than most concentrates)
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Often seen this strain described as spicy, didn’t get much of that. I got a taste that I associate with older landrace sativa strains, very similar to Lamb’s Breath. It’s similar to a kush profile, but more flowery with a tinge of spice
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Nice clear headhigh buzz, almost no body buzz, typical of a strong sativa
Price: 60/G
Value: Fairly priced, but I have a psychological barrier of 50$ for live resin considering lots of places offer it for that. That said, this was some good shit and it’s the first time I see Red Congo live resin, so kudos!

Notes: Very impressed by the humidity levels on most strains, samples from most MOMs are either bone dry or beyond their prime, so it’s refreshing and nice to get plush and fresh product that’s been properly cured and preserved!

Strain Name: Blue Satellite
Strain Fidelity: I’ve had blueberry crosses before, but the other parent (SBK) is unknown to me.
Size of buds: 8/10 Average, one big bud and 2 smaller ones (only 1 of the smaller ones shown in picture)
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Excellent trim, nice sized bud, colors are vibrant, looks dank!
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 No complaints, it could be a tiny bit fresher but it’s god good spring left
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Not a pungent strain, but it smells really good. Some blueberry and skunk hints in there, really nice.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Smooth as silk, big tokes aren’t an issue at all, very enjoyable
Burn: 9/10 Burns very well, didn’t have to relight, ash is light grey
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Similar to the nose, it’s not a strong tasting flower, but the terps are present and clear.
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Reminescent of the nose, I’m getting blueberry/fruit hints, not sweet though, more like sour/bitter berries that aren’t quite ripe, some slight skunkiness, very good taste, wish it were stronger/bolder
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Nothing insane in terms of potency but it’s very decent. If felt more sativa than indica, nice energic/no crash buzz
Price: 221/OZ
Value: More 200ish to me, but unique enough to be worth it’s tag.

Strain Name: White Dragon
Strain Fidelity: This is supposed to be a Northern Lights x Afghani cross. I’ve had a few of those this year and they were totally different from this, so I dunno, I’m not recognizing either of those parents.
Size of buds: 8/10 One bigger bud with smaller ones.
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Nice trim, decent sized buds, some really nice colors on it, hints of purple on the smaller nugs
Cure & Humidity: 5/10 This was pretty damn dry. I’ve had worse, but it was past it’s prime for sure. Hard to judge cure with such dryness.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Despite it’s dryness it’s got a good smell
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Not as bad as expected, smoked pretty good, thick creamy smoke, tiny bit harsh
Burn: 9/10 Burned well, light grey ash
Taste Intensity: 7/10 Terps get through but they are a bit clouded by a generic smoke veil.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Fairly generic taste, hard to make out the aromas over the smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Medium potency indica buzz
Price: 239/OZ
Value: Pretty average bud overall, kind of stuff I expect to see in the 150-175$ range

Strain Name: G13 Haze
Strain Fidelity: Never had G13, did have several Haze crosses, I can’t say I recognize the typical haze smell or taste in this.
Size of buds: 8/10 Medium sized nugs
Bag Appeal: 8/10 Good trim, nice buds, doesn’t have any special colors or any distinctive features, smells nice and unique
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 Decent humidity but could be a little fresher
Smell Intensity: 7.5/10 Very distinctive smell, can’t quite put my finger on it, bit skunky, def old school. Won’t stink up a room, but it’s got a nice smell.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Super smooth, rich creamy smoke
Burn: 9/10 Burns really well and slow, mostly white/light grey but with a brown hue to it (not a common thing, not sure what if anything it means)
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Not the strongest tasting I’ve had, but it’s smooth and creamy, not much if any smoke taste it’s all terps to the end
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 The skunky tones come out fairly dominant in the taste, it actually tastes better and stronger than it smells. I can’t quite place the haze in all of it, but there’s lots going on. Really enjoyed this.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 Lots of hybrids pretend to be heavy sativa leaning, most are a lie, this one ain’t. Nice strong energic buzz, almost no crash, very nice. Take note that this 9 is on the ’sativa scale’, doesn’t hold a candle to average indica obviously.
Price: 239/OZ
Value: I’d value it closer to 200 in it’s current state, but if it were fresher it would warrant the asking price.

Strain Name: Pink Gas by Gastown
Strain Fidelity: This is a cross between Pink Kush and Bubba Kush, I can recognize the pink right away, but the bubba doesn’t come out clearly.
Size of buds: 8/10 Nice sized buds
Bag Appeal: 8/10 Nice trim, smells dank, looks good, less colors than other pinks I’ve had so it has a bit of a generic look
Cure & Humidity: 7/10 It’s rare I say this, but this was a bit too wet, yet, it didn’t have much spring. I have a feeling it could have used a bit more jar time.
Smell Intensity: 8.5/10 Strong kushy/peppery mix, bit of gas, real nice.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 I kept coughing smoking this, it’s not harsh per say, but a bit suffocating? Odd thing, perhaps it’s me reacting weird to the terps
Burn: 7/10 The high humidity made it burn a bit dark, but it still burned well despite this.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 Strong typical pink kush taste, but sharper than usual, less savory, more gassy
Taste Complexity: 9/10 Real good mix of kush and gas, more gassy than other pinks I’ve had
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 This is a heavy hitter indica, it’s listed as having 10% sativa, didn’t feel that a single bit :P
Price: 239/OZ
Value: The coughing bothers me enough that I would not buy/recommend this as is, but I have a feeling some jar time would make it better. Hard to value weed with such an issue, especially since everything else is in quad territory. I’ll refrain from putting a value to it.
’A’ Scale Rating: Definitely AAAA territory, but the coughing botters me. I’ll call it AAAA-, close but no cigar.

Strain Name: Lemonchello HCFSE Caviar by 91 Supreme
Strain Fidelity: Apparently a cross of Lemonade and Chery Pie. Never had either, did have a few lemony and cherry strains though. Seems to fit the bill.
Size of crystaks: 7.5/10 This is more of a sugar consistency than rocks, but fairly coarse
Jar Appeal: 9/10 Some of the nicest looking HCFSE I’ve seen. Light color, looked a bit dried up, had a sugary consistency once played around, very easy to separate, not sticky or runny at all.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 6/10 Even on the first crack of the jar, not much smell came out of it. The little that did smelled nice, but it reminds me of some shatters where there isn’t much smell going on until you light it up.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 7/10 Not exactly harsh, but a bit suffocating. You don’t choke on the puff itself, but after exhale. Definitely not the smoothest extract I’ve had.
Burn: 10/10 Didn’t leave any residue, required higher heat than most other extracts to properly evaporate, didn’t leave any residue
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 Not much terps left in this, looks like it’s mostly THC, has a strong THC taste with a tiny bit of terps. Close to diamonds purity I’d say.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 Not much beyond the THC taste, I expected some lemon and didn’t get much if any, tiny bit of cherry but without much sweetness
Buzz Intensity: 6/10 I didn’t do a huge tab, but I hadn’t dabbed in probably 2 months. Usually a dab of HCE that size should put me on my ass, but I didn’t get a strong buzz and it didn’t last very long. A bit of a deception there. Just saw on the site it’s a sativa, I guess that explains, in part...
Price: 70/g
Value: I don’t have a whole lot of concentrate experience yet, first time trying 91 Supreme actually. I had HCE several times from CE, different strains, and they were all significantly stronger than this and terpier as well and about half price. Like someone said, anything that comes in fancy packaging is overpriced, I guess it applies here. I honestly wouldn’t buy this strain, but I really liked the appearance of that stuff, kinda torn.

Strain Name: White Fire OG
Strain Fidelity: A cross of Fire OG and The White (aka triangle kush), neither of those I ever had.
Size of buds: 7/10 One decent bud with a bunch of smalls
Bag Appeal: 7.5/10 Pretty generic looking, trim is good, not overly caked, browish hairs, nothing special lookwise. The smell however redeems some of it, nice funky/skunky smell, not super strong but it was the strongest of these samples by a significant margin.
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Could have been a tiny bit more humid, but it’s got decent humidity.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Good nose, smells really nice, got me excited when I opened the bag. Once ground it didn’t become much stronger, I feel a lot of the smell was in the bag and left when I opened it.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 No complaints here, very smooth smoke up to the filter.
Burn 10/10 Perfect white ash, burns well without having to relight
Taste Intensity: 8/10 The terps get through, there ain’t much smoke to cover it up, but it could have been stronger in terms of terps.
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 Similar to it’s nose, a bit of funk, a bit of skunk (very faint), reminds me of a tame White Widow
Buzz Intensity: 8.5/10 A good hybrid buzz, not overly strong
Price: 260/OZ
Value: While there ain’t much to fault here, it’s definitely not craft level cannabis and doesn’t really have any outstanding features. Kind of stuff I’d expect to see priced at 180ish.

Strain Name: Blue Dream
Strain Fidelity: Believe it or not, despite it being one of the most popular strains in North America right now, I only ever had it once and it was absolute bunk so I can’t really compare. There is a slight blueberry nose to it, so there’s that
Size of buds: One big bud with a couple smaller ones
Bag Appeal: 7/10 A bit rough, the bigger bud looked like someone had picked part of it off (was more like 2 buds on a stem), pretty plain looking stuff, good trim though.
Cure & Humidity: 6/10 This stuff was pretty dry
Smell Intensity: 5/10 Again, the dryness robs most of this score. There are discenable blueberry notes, but there was also some of that floral/old dry weed smell mixed in there. Past it’s prime.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6.5/10 Didn’t have much fun smoking this. The blueberry I got in the smell didn’t translate at all in the taste, wasn’t a bad smoke (it wasn’t harsh) but definitely nothing special.
Burn 5/10 Burnt pretty black, had to relight it several times
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Pretty much none of the nose came through, very generic old weed bag end taste
Taste Complexity: N/A Can’t even put a score on this
Buzz Intensity: 6/10 Decent hybrid buzz, didn’t last long
Price: 220/OZ
Value: This belongs to the 100$/OZ category IMHO, way overrated at 220
’A’ Scale Rating: AA

Strain Name: Nebula
Strain Fidelity: 10/10 Only had it once before and I remember it’s distinctive smell. It’s a mix of cherry/berries.
Size of buds: 9/10 One big bud (3g) and a small one
Bag Appeal: 7/10 This sample got crushed/rubbed/whatever, it was round as a ball. Trim is good, looks fairly generic overall though not much standing out.
Cure & Humidity: 0/10 Dry as fuck, I rarely got weed so dry from a MOM, after grinding it I literally dumped a pile of dust on my table.
Smell Intensity: 6/10 The dryness robs it of most of it’s nose, but there’s still some smell there.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Despite it’s dryness it was fairly smooth at first, but it got progressively more and more harsh as I went on. I didn’t finish the joint, it was a chore past half.
Burn 9/10 Burned well and white ash
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Despite it’s dryness, I could make out the terps well at first. Very similar to the nose, a nice smooth cherry/berry taste. It got harsh fast though.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The cherry/berry taste is pretty much all that comes through. Pleasant enough but fairly unidimensional.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Stuff this dry rarely does wonders in the buzz department. Felt like a hybrid leaning towards indica, but it didn’t last long and wasn’t very strong.
Price: 240/OZ
Value: The dryness makes this a non-buy for me, even at 100$ there are better options out there.
’A’ Scale Rating: AA-
Notes: This is a perfect example of a bud ruined by dryness. I’m fairly sure this had quad potential at some point in it’s life, but it was either not dried well, not cured well, or simply sat too long before getting sold, a waste of potential.
Incentive for Customers: N/A
Incentive for Review: Was offered free samples for review, as usual, my review is unbiased and ignores the price paid.

Price: 260/OZ
Value: While there ain’t much to fault here, it’s definitely not craft level cannabis and doesn’t really have any outstanding features. Kind of stuff I’d expect to see priced at 180ish.
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+, would be AAAA- if a bit fresher

Strain Name: Blue Dream
Strain Fidelity: Believe it or not, despite it being one of the most popular strains in North America right now, I only ever had it once and it was absolute bunk so I can’t really compare. There is a slight blueberry nose to it, so there’s that
Size of buds: One big bud with a couple smaller ones
Bag Appeal: 7/10 A bit rough, the bigger bud looked like someone had picked part of it off (was more like 2 buds on a stem), pretty plain looking stuff, good trim though.
Cure & Humidity: 6/10 This stuff was pretty dry
Smell Intensity: 5/10 Again, the dryness robs most of this score. There are discenable blueberry notes, but there was also some of that floral/old dry weed smell mixed in there. Past it’s prime.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6.5/10 Didn’t have much fun smoking this. The blueberry I got in the smell didn’t translate at all in the taste, wasn’t a bad smoke (it wasn’t harsh) but definitely nothing special.
Burn 5/10 Burnt pretty black, had to relight it several times
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Pretty much none of the nose came through, very generic old weed bag end taste
Taste Complexity: N/A Can’t even put a score on this
Buzz Intensity: 6/10 Decent hybrid buzz, didn’t last long
Price: 220/OZ
Value: This belongs to the 100$/OZ category IMHO, way overrated at 220
’A’ Scale Rating: AA

Strain Name: Nebula
Strain Fidelity: 10/10 Only had it once before and I remember it’s distinctive smell. It’s a mix of cherry/berries.
Size of buds: 9/10 One big bud (3g) and a small one
Bag Appeal: 7/10 This sample got crushed/rubbed/whatever, it was round as a ball. Trim is good, looks fairly generic overall though not much standing out.
Cure & Humidity: 0/10 Dry as fuck, I rarely got weed so dry from a MOM, after grinding it I literally dumped a pile of dust on my table.
Smell Intensity: 6/10 The dryness robs it of most of it’s nose, but there’s still some smell there.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Despite it’s dryness it was fairly smooth at first, but it got progressively more and more harsh as I went on. I didn’t finish the joint, it was a chore past half.
Burn 9/10 Burned well and white ash
Taste Intensity: 6/10 Despite it’s dryness, I could make out the terps well at first. Very similar to the nose, a nice smooth cherry/berry taste. It got harsh fast though.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The cherry/berry taste is pretty much all that comes through. Pleasant enough but fairly unidimensional.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Stuff this dry rarely does wonders in the buzz department. Felt like a hybrid leaning towards indica, but it didn’t last long and wasn’t very strong.
Price: 240/OZ
Value: The dryness makes this a non-buy for me, even at 100$ there are better options out there.
’A’ Scale Rating: AA-
Notes: This is a perfect example of a bud ruined by dryness. I’m fairly sure this had quad potential at some point in it’s life, but it was either not dried well, not cured well, or simply sat too long before getting sold, a waste of potential.
Incentive for Customers: N/A
Incentive for Review: Was offered free samples for review, as usual, my review is unbiased and ignores the price paid.
Notes: A good example of what I often refer to as ’MOM quads’.... All the MOMs advertise quads, but most MOMs don’t have them.

Strain Name: Crystal Cookies
Strain Fidelity: A mix of GSC and Animal Cookies. I never had Animal Cookies and only had ’rare’ phenos of GSC except once, so it’s hard for me to have an opinion. It did remind of of Cookies and Cream, a strain I really like.
Size of buds: 7.5/10 Medium sized buds with a few slightly bigger ones
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Caked, well trimmed, purple colors
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Still had a bit of humidity throughout, but close to being dry
Smell Intensity: 7/10 Like a lot of cookie strains, it’s not a stinker, but it’s got a nice fragrance
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Nice and smooth, really pleasant smoke
Taste Intensity: 7.5/10 It’s one of those smokes that doesn’t taste much, but has like almost zero smoke taste, so you can really taste all the subtleties
Taste Complexity: 9/10 A bit sweet, a bit doughy, none of the characteristic pepper I usually get from GSC crosses. This tastes like how people have described GSC to me (those terps are perceived either as sweet/vanilla by some, or black peppercorn for others, like me). Very nice.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Not the heaviest hitter, but still holds it’s own.
Price: 256$/OZ
Value: It’s very nice flower, but maybe not amazing enough for 256$/OZ. This would be more what I’d expect to find in the 200$ range
’A’ Scale Rating: AAA+, it’s tameness both in buzz and smell/taste makes it miss the AAAA grade but it’s damn close

Strain Name: Jelly Punch
Strain Fidelity: A cross of Platinum Punch and Jelly Breath. Never had either, so I’m in uncharted territory!
Size of buds: 9/10 A fat nug and 3 smaller ones made that quarter, so decent sized buds
Bag Appeal: 9/10 A mix of dark purple and bright greens, it’s caked too, looks delicious!
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 It’s a bit fluffy but despite that, it has decent humidity throughout. It did burn a little dark, but kept burning decent.
Smell Intensity: 7/10 It doesn’t have a strong nose, but it’s nice and sweet, it has fruity tones with some herbal tones
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 This is where it gets skittish. There isn’t much taste coming through, but there is a harshness to the smoke that makes it pretty unpleasant to smoke.
Taste Intensity: 5/10 The smoke/harshness covers most of the taste. The first few puffs had hints of fruit/cherry, but the joint soon turned harsh and was a chore to finish. I smoked two of them to confirm my diagnostic, didn’t have the heart to finish the second.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The little that came through reminded me of cherry bomb, a strain I had a long time ago. Also reminescent of the CBD taste which a lot of people describe as cherry. It’s a nice taste, but it’s a shame the smoke/harshness interferes.
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Didn’t check the lineage details but it felt like a average hybrid buzz. Nothing strong, but competent.
Price: 256$/OZ
Value: The darkness and harshness and general lack of pleasure smoking this makes it a no-go for me.
’A’ Scale Rating: N/A, would be AAAA- if it weren’t for it’s major issues

Strain Name: Thin Mints
Strain Fidelity: First time getting this but it is, according to all accounts, a GSC cross and often glorified as one of the best of them, along with Platinum GSC and Forum Cut GSC. It has that pepper/kush smell and taste, but it’s fairly different from all cookie strains I had.
Size of buds: 8.5/10 Nice sized buds, averaging 2g or so
Bag Appeal: 9/10 Strong terps on this one, some peppery/kush nose with some sweetness and tiny hints of citrus, good trim, caked, it’s a looker.
Cure & Humidity: 3/10 The humidity is good, but I’m taking this grade because of I’m going to guess the flush or cure, it burns black as hell and kept running out (had to relight the joint close to 20 times to finish it, it’s ridiculous). It’s not too humid either, so it’s not a case of excessive humidity.
Smell Intensity: 8.5/10 This was the strongest smelling of this pack, it has a very nice strong fragrance.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 4/10 Again the flush/cure or whatever is off on this, the first half of the joint was terpy as hell, but also harsh and past half it got to the point where it was almost unsmokable, each puff was a struggle.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 As mentioned in the previous point, it’s got solid terps but the harshness overloads it quick.
Taste Complexity: 8/10 The taste is a really nice blend similar to the nose, a mix of peppery kush (more subtle than the average GSC I’ve had), some sweetness, some tangy/citrus (just a hint, it’s definitely more acidic than tart).
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 Despite it’s shortcomings this is a hard hitter, strong indica hammer to the face buzz.
Price: 256$/OZ
Value: If it wasn’t for the burn/harshness issue, this would be worth the price, but those two points kill it.
’A’ Scale Rating: N/A, would be AAAA+ if it weren’t for it’s major issues

Strain Name: Wedding Cake Gelato
Strain Fidelity: 9/10 For once I’ve had both parents before (yay, mark your calendars!). It definitely leans towards Wedding Cake more than Gelato for me, but it’s a hella nice cross!
Size of buds: 8.5/10 Nice sized buds, averaging 2g or so like the Thin Mints
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Awesome smell, you get both the wedding cake and gelato signature aromas, solid trim. Not much crazy colors, but caked
Cure & Humidity: 8/10 Could have been a tiny bit more terpy and humid, but it’s still very nice and proper.
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Not as strong smelling as some of the Gelato I’ve had, but more than the Wedding Cake I’ve had, very pleasant smell.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Smooth as silk down to the filter, very nice
Taste Intensity: 8.5/10 The terps can be tasted throughout the joint, they aren’t super strong, but the smoothness of it allows you to taste every little detail inhindered.
Taste Complexity: 8.5/10 A nice mix of the typical doughy/spicy taste of Wedding Cake, along with some of the more citrucy/pepper/kushy profile of Gelato, very enjoyable combo.
Buzz Intensity: 7.5/10 Felt more hybrid than indica, not very strong but competent.
Price: 250/OZ
Value: On sale at 15% this was a good deal, as is, it might feel a bit steep for people who care about buzz intensity. It was an amazing smoke, super pleasant though.
