MOM Name Cannabis Extration (CE), pastebin MOM

Overall rating out of 10: 8/10 so far, 2 items not smoked yet, will update

Sign Up: Was already signed up but this is a no frills kind of place, just send EMT and address and they send you the goods, nothing complicated, no ID check.

Ordering & Pricing: They have a pastebin menu along with an imgur gallery of their products. Not everything is pictured, not all pictures are recent, but generally speaking their pictures are pretty representative of the products. Prices for flowers and some items are very high, others are cheap or very cheap.

Communication: While I've seen lots of complaints about their lack of communication skills, they've always answered all my emails promptly. They did however forget to send me tracking, just like last time, but they promptly provided it when asked.

Packaging: They like small boxes with a good food grade vacuum, zero odor until the vacuum is broken. They take care not to over vacuum also, buds are never crushed. They do ship all the buds in sandwich ziplock bags, kinda basic, but fine. All concentrates are in tiny glass containers with no lip/recess so everything is easy to scoop.

Cookies and Cream by Mega Meisho:

This was their new year special, 200$ OZ. First time I tried Meisho's stuff which usually sits at 325-350$ an OZ. Great looking buds, caked, nice purple hues (I don't remember my other order of C&C to have purple). Buds are medium sized, no big ones in here, couple of popcorn sized. The product is dry, crunchy dry. Breaking it reveals a very faint smell of freshness, it's not quite dead, but it's damn close, smells on point though for the strain, exactly as I remember it. Unfortunately though, this does not burn very well, I had to relight the joint a couple times and it just kept tunneling and canoeing. The ash is pretty dark too. There is no harshness however, this is smooth, thick, creamy smoke as I remember from my previous brush with this strain. The taste is good, but almost devoid of terms. I paid 125$ for half a OZ, in my opinion it's very overpriced given it's dryness. The previous batch I had was from Planet Pot at 200$/OZ and kicked this out of the water with eyes closed. Giving this a 7/10.

Meat Breath by Dave (3.5g sample):

Great looking strain, but most of the buds in this 3.5 are pretty tiny, so no lookers in there. The buds are fairly dark with the typical almost black leaves of breath strains and the nose definitely has that distinctive breath smell. Again, this is very dry, crunchy, so nose is muted. Cracking these open didn't help much, it's dry through and through. The nose is hard to describe, there's the typical breath smell, but there's also something that reminds me of beef jerky, or dry meats, herbs and spices included. Smoking this, it burned well, light grey ash and the taste really follows the nose, reminds me a lot of Cactus Breath from Kootenay, but it's less refined. That dried meat that was a smell while grinding it shines through again this time as taste, a rich taste that reminds me a bit of middle eastern spiced and grilled food. The smoke is rich and smooth. While I like the strain, I feel the excessive dryness probably turned an absolutely insane strain into something a bit spoiled. Hopefully the boveda it's with will make it better over time. For now, again, this is overpriced stuff. Kootenay's Cactus Breath walks all over this.

Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies by Dave (sample):

I haven't smoked it yet, but again, super dry like last time. The nug is 2.2g and looks gorgeous, but it's crunchy, dry to the core. I did smoke a bit but it was with hash, so I guess it's hard to comment on anything for now. Will revisit, but pretty sure it's the same batch as my last order anyway, so not expecting to be wooed.

Peanut Butter Breath HCE: Have not tried it yet, will report later. This came in as one big sugary rock. Little nose.

Meat Breath FSE sauce: Have not tried it yet, will report later. Pretty liquid, tiny crystals, little nose.

UK Cheese FSE sauce: Liquid with tiny crystals that from a sugary depot on the sides of the glass jar after the liquid part drops to the bottom. This stuff REEKS, the nose is very strong and it honestly smells pretty nasty, I was scared to vape this. It smells like old hockey socks that a cat pissed on, it's horrible, lol. That said, once in the pico/sai, I was surprised to find a completely different taste. It's pretty gassy, bit sweet... There is a bit of that strong cheese coming through as well, but it's surprisingly tame and pretty much overtaken by the gas and sweetness. Pretty good stuff!!! Buzz was strong and very relaxing, couch lock goodness.


Incentive for Customers: Referral program gives free shipping to both parties.

Incentive for Review: I review all my orders

Notes: The samples were included because I complained about the excessive dryness in my last order. Apparently, dry is all they have. It's a shame really, cause you can see those are some killer and wild genetics, but they're doing some OCS-style curing on that stuff and drying it beyond saving. Such a shame.

This description made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for posting this. There aren’t many CE reviews.
Sounds a lot like my experience with them, top shelf stuff arrived dry. However, when I ordered their AAAA Pink Kush it arrived sticky. Even after two months, its still got a bit of tackiness when handled. My meat breath, slurricane and pbb arrived dry.

Its just like you said, its a shame how they’ve let amazing flower turn dry. The stuff is very potent, I’ve nearly finished all of it.. but its overpriced since it arrives dry. And boveda did hardly anything to my meat breath 29 unfortunately. It brought it back a little, but not much. I heard someone describe the smell as salami.. I tend to agree, it smells like salami to me. Lol. It looks the exact same as the stuff I got in November. I assume they’d have a new batch since then though.

Every time I see an xsinx review I look for the Kootenay mention; it’s there every time. I don’t actually read the “review”, I just skim through them and sure enough, every time, it’s there 😂.

Might look a bit shilly, but like I've always said, I don't rate MOMs as much as I rate products and despite trying well over 100 strains this year, the top 10 is dominated by stuff from Kootenay. Ask anyone who knows Kootenay and you'll know they aren't the kind to give kickbacks or free stuff to make people happy, on the contrary even, the only time I had an issue with one of their batches they only refunded me half which is kinda shit. Despite that, their shit is on the level. I've also stated many times they've sent me stuff that was too try, AAAA that I'd barely rate AA+, they are far from perfect.

In other words, I'm not sold to any MOM and the fact I'm still trying stuff from new and reputable MOMs on a regular basis to try and find better proves it. Trust me, I can't wait to find a MOM that provides me better stuff than KC.. and when I do, my quest will turn to finding better still, and so on.

I also often mention Planet Pot, a MOM that's almost forgotten on here. They are the only other MOM that provided me with true quads.. Was a long time ago and I did not order from them again, but I totally should, lol.

XSinxX thanks for the review. Since PuffLevel no longer ships across Canada, I have to get some CBD from the only place I know, CE.
I was thinking of getting some flower to make up for the mandatory shipping fee, but I think I'll save the scratch for JJ, or KC like you mentioned.

They weren't samples as much as compensation. I gave them feedback by email expressing how I felt the FC GSC from my first order was much too dry. They asked how they could fix the situation. At that point I had no intention of buying again, so I just told them to work on their cure and get some bovedas going, lol. Then new year happened and they had the Mega Meisho Cookies and Cream at 200$/OZ (his stuff is all 325-350 usually) and I figured I'd check if Mega's cure was better. When I placed my order I reminded them about the FC GSC and simply mentioned if it's not too much to ask, just getting a few samples of their higher end strains so I can figure a possible next order. They said they'd add some samples and that was it. I'm surprised myself didn't expect that much.. was like close to 6g of samples in there.
