Birch+Fog review

1
Birch+Fog

Let me preface this one a bit. I wasn't really a fan of Birch+Fog the last few times I ordered. I felt like I was paying that retail premium, and honestly while I think their marketing is very successful it really isn't my cup of tea. All that said, I had a $100 visa gift card from using OpenCare to find a dentist, and Birch+Fog is one of the few to take credit cards; also I was out of Sativa; and this is where our story begins....

Overall rating out of 10: 7.5

Sign Up: Easy I think, it was a while ago, this was an additional order long after sign up. I'm not going to talk about that here because it wasn't part of the experience, and man, B+F love their experiences.

Ordering & Pricing: I paid $97 for 4 grams of Island Jack and 4 grams of Red Congolese and shipping. I didn't order enough to get free shipping.

Communication: We didn't correspond. I ordered, got tracking, got weed, got high. There were no CS issues that required contact.

Packaging: Well packaged in vacuumed sealed bags inside a box. The B+F branded tissue paper is a nice hipster useless choice that adds to the aesthetic. Anyway.

Products / Photos: To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much. I'm not sure why, the last flower order I had from them was fine. Pretty even. But I ordered two sativas, wasn't expecting a huge punch, just wanted to use up the gift card and increase the strain collection y'know what I'm saying? I was pleasantly surprised!

The Red Congo at first was disappointing. I'm used to caked red hairs and a very exotic look. This stuff still looked exotic, but I saw the yellowing hairs and was sure I had an inferior product. Take a look for yourself below. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The signature pepper and spice nose is there in full force, both when breaking it up and when vaping it. This is a unique sativa strain folks, one everyone should try. This might not be the best example of it, the stuff I had from JJ last year was better, but this a very, very decent. The high isn't quite as intensely intellectual as I found the other batches, its still a peppy sativa that gives a great rush of creativity and drive. I'm writing this review right now on a couple of bowls, and I've been procrastinating it for weeks.

Island Jack is supposedly just Jack Herer grown on the island, but this taste was unique enough that I'm not sure about that. It has a bright, tropical fruit based taste that makes me think more of Island Jack the Carribean pirate than sweet jack herer but whatever, its tasty as hell. The high was also light and in the front of the head, but not overly intense. It was a great morning time smoke (see picture) and it tasted so damn good I would add a pinch of it to every bowl I smoked last week just to have some of that sweet sweet island sunshine.

Incentive for Customers: I bought these when they weren't on sale, but basically don't buy from B+F unless it's on sale, they frequently drop strains by 40% or more.

Incentive for Review: none for this review, but I do have a refferal code that gives you $20 and me $20 that I've posted on Instagram and elsewhere.

Notes: I guess the short version is I was pleasantly surprised by two very tasty sativas from a MOM I didn't expect much from.

Re: Birch+Fog review

I've never experienced a 10 from a mom yet. 9 is stellar weed for a stellar price. 8 is good weed for a good price. This was good weed for an ok price, hence 7.5. I was not disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised, but I'd give shitty weed a 4 at best, a normal no discount average weed order a 5 or 6 to give scale if that helps at all.
