Not trying to hate I’m just genuinely interested.

I don't think an overdried bud can qualify as AAAA. I guess the scale is pretty subjective. To me AAAA should be perfect, this wasn't. It lacks nose and taste vs what it could have been if not too dry. This ain't an issue that can be fixed with a boveda, those terps are long gone.

I picked up a 3.5g along with their concentrate deal last week, the boss told me it was their proudest flower so I figured I'd try it out! I can't find the product online anymore looks like they ran out, if I remember right it's a cross between Cookies+Cream and Thin Mint GSC?

In any case, it looks fantastic (the picture doesn't do it justice, colors are slightly off with my camera). The buds are caked and have wildly varying hues, similar to "breath" strains, it's very exotic looking. There are some black leaves in there, with lighter greens and the caking makes it look like it has grey spots where the trichs mix with the blacker leaves. Absolute beauty!

The nugs I got were kinds small, not popcorn but close. Humidity was a bit low to my liking, even though it came with a boveda inside the package.

The nose is very exotic, I can't quite place it, I never had anything quite like it. It's as "weird" as Cactus Breath is, for those who had it. The dryness made it pretty faint though, right out of the bag it wasn't very strong.

I wasn't impressed at all by the smoke though... While it wasn't harsh, the taste that dominates is a mix of pepper and spice. I'll admit those two tastes are the ones I least like in weed, but those who like that would be served! The smoke was smooth, not particularly thick. There are also very subtle hints of floral terps coming through, in the range of tea/coffee. Those little spikes were very faint and few though.

I'd rate this at a 8/10 (not letting the spice/pepper skew the note here). On the A scale I'd say it's closer to an AAA than the advertised AAAA. Had it been less dry I'd give it an AAA+. It is however very exotic looking, so its the nose, so I guess you could consider that as a skew factor

Edit: Forgot to mention the buzz! That stuff hit me pretty hard with what I'd consider an hybrid buzz. Wasn't a couch lock at all but it did have a good strong body buzz. After 2 hours it started to feel a bit sleepy but I've been sick lately, so could just be me that was tired Definitely did not hinder my sleep, lasted all but 5 seconds on the pillow.

Like I said 8/10 from me is good I can definitely appreciate the genetics, it's a damn good looking flower, the trichomes are insane as seen in the microscope pic, buzz is strong!

In other news, I tried the Nuken live resin and it's phenomenal! Never had resin or rosin before, this is some smooth and nice tasting stuff.

We have a pretty exciting new natural Rosin that will be added within the next day.

I'm pretty noob when it comes to extracts myself, I found that getting the right temperature really makes the experience a lot better. First couple times I smoked shatter I was using way too high temperature and I would cough for like 15 min after each dab. Less is better, lol... That resin was smooth as silk I really enjoyed it... Taste is clean and fruity, super nice!

To each their own, I was genuinely curious as I collect cannabis and this was a better example of a true AAAA from a mom that I’ve had recently, in my opinion of course. I’m not too sure what you were sent but the cure from mine was very similar to what I got with the Violator Kush from theraveda a few months ago and that was canned just after the curing process.

I’m loving this stuff.
