Communication:
I was looking to try a MOM based on the east coast where I'm located, mostly to see Canada Post shipping times vs BC where I mostly order from. Saw these guys listed as a new MOM from NS. I placed a small order and then emailed them (checking their customer service and response times, get some information about them and told them I review all my orders and I would link them to my review if they were waiting to get on the verified MOM list). The owner emailed me the next morning, saying he cancelled my order and was going to ship out a package of some various products for me to review. Unexpected and very generous.
Packaging:
Arriving in a large brown bubble mailer, I pulled out a large, white gift box that was nicely labelled and shrink wrapped.
Inside were several business cards with a discount code, two eu4ia 250mg THC shatter bars, 1 package of 2 x 50mg THC Moon Bites - their in-house branded gummies, and the flower samples in white, heat sealed mylar bags. Really nice packaging and presentation. No smell at all, nothing crushed or damaged.

Phantom OG
Sale $127oz
3.5g bud, light green with darker areas with a good trim. Good amount of orange pistils and decent trichrome coverage. Strong, pungent smell - Citrus zest with some gas and spice. Slightly dry outside, but terpy and sticky inside. Citrus and pine on dry toke, the taste on smoking is pretty faint but more earthy / spicy. Slightly harsh with a light smoke, leaving white ash. Calming and relaxing, with a creeper cerebral high. Nice body effects with just enough mental stimulation. The buzz from this was also really long lasting.
Grease Monkey
$180oz
Tight, dense bud. Pale and dark green with fluffy brown pistils, nice trim. Slightly dry outside but again, terpy and sticky inside. Strong grease smell! You can definitely tell the GG parentage. Gassy, skunky, spicy with a little hint of sweetness. Dry puff gave a strong nutty flavor with some pine. Taste on smoking is not overly strong and doesn't reflect the smell at all, more creamy taste. Smokes good with light salt and pepper ash. The effects of this hit me like a truck. Feeling it hit after only a couple puffs, hits with a strong cerebral high - trouble concentrating, almost drooling. Complete relaxation and euphoria in the body. Probably the best "old school" stone I've had in a long time.
Thin Mint Cookies
$180oz
Slightly dense bud, pale green with a couple orange pistils. Good trim with okay tric coverage. More dry than the other strains. Classic cookie nose but more earthy / grassy with some hints of pine. Busting gives off more pine flavors, but not overly strong. Taste is more pronounced with an earthy, soapy, piney mix of flavors. The smoke is smooth and light and the ash is light salt and pepper. The buzz was slightly stupefying, glazed eyes and slack jaw. I wasn't a fan of this, but I generally can't stand cookie strains, I don't like the terpene profile at all, so I might not be the best judge of this one.
Sour Secret Strawberry Banana
$180oz
Fairly dense bud, slightly leafy but good trichome coverage overall. Strong grassy / gassy nose, definitely more of the sour diesel coming through, as only some minor sweet notes get through. Slightly dry but still has some good bounce. Fairly sticky and terpy inside. Smoking gives the same gassy taste but the sweetness is a little more pronounced.. Medium smoke which was only a little harsh. The buzz was a little energetic rush and a foggy head. Bit of a creeper buzz, the cerebral high picked up over the next 5 or 10 minutes and eventually settled in as a balanced buzz.
Eu4ia Shatter Bars
250mg each, 1 Indica and 1 Sativa
Nice tasting chocolate, very slight cannabis taste but disappears almost instantly. 60mg - 100mg dosage gave a good long lasting buzz. No discernible difference between the sativa and indica bars. Made with oil, not shatter, not sure if they use FSE anyway. Lab test results included for one of the bars.
Moon Bites
"Blue Moons very own custom gummy product"
2 x 50mg @ $9, sale $7
Nice grape jello flavor. Took one of these Friday night and was feeling quite buzzed all night. I never smoked all day in order to gage the potency and buzz, and a couple hours and eating one of these, I felt like I just smoked a joint. Solid buzz, found these much strong (mg vs mg) than the shatter bars.
