Snazzy Strains is craft cannabis being sold by The Wholesome Monkey, who's based out of the Toronto area.

Communication with Monkey was excellent. I asked for strain recommendations and he straight up said he was biased towards the Papaya Punch, and that if he could smoke this strain forever he would. I went into this with a lot of hype and this strain definitely exceeded any expectations I had. He wasn't kidding about the terps.

Shipping was fast, it came in 1 day after placing my order. They also have delivery around the Toronto area. My order was double vacuumed sealed.

I love the packaging and presentation. For reference, the jars are the same 7g jars that Kootenay Craft uses. As a bonus each 7g comes with a doob tube featuring craft joints. I love this idea and think more MOMs should adopt this. It's just a sweet bonus that feels good to have. I'm planning to save these doinks to smoke in Amish, but if there are requests I can open one up and take photos/review the prerolls no problem. I asked Monkey and he said they grind the craft smalls up for these. Terps are strong so I'm not worried about shake.

I can't get past how crazy the terps are. It's a unique blend, a pungent fruity aroma with a hint of cheese. I keep opening the jar to smell it. Comes with an integra. The smell translates over to the taste and this one is a treat. Very enjoyable.

In my Dynavap M it hits smooth and fruity. In a pipe it's smooth and on exhale the flavours really come out, with a sour fruity taste that lingers for a while. The ash burns clean and white in a pipe. I don't smokes joints day to day but if interested I could roll one up and snap a photo of the burn.

In a session vape is where the terps shine the most. Some strains taste good at around 190-200 degrees for a minute or two and that's normal, this one is tasty for an entire 10 minute session even at 240 degrees the entire time.
The first time I hit it in a session vape, I noticed a sour flavour lingering on my lips and in the mouth for a while after. It probably sounds odd but that cheesy pungent aroma really comes through this way and I like to describe it as a sour fruity taste. It's sweet, but not overly so like candy, if that makes sense.

Every hit is enjoyable, always smooth and tasty, and I don't need to grab another bowl every hour. In this case you get what you pay for. With mids I hit a bowl every hour and the experience isn't close.

The buds are fresh, sticky, frosty and caked. Perfect density and perfect cure. Great trim. I'm happy with the size of the nugs. Absolutely no shake or anything in my jars and a few larger nugs. Even the sugar leaves that fall off are so coated I get buzzed smoking them.

I'll be straight up, this was an absolute treat. This craft is on the same level as Ghost Drops and Kootenay Craft, but I enjoyed this strain more than the strains I've had from those places. I really enjoyed the Gelato #33 from GD and Slurricane from KC to give you an idea of strains I've enjoyed in the past.

Potency is really high. After the first day this became my favourite strain because it's the perfect strain to workout on. It's a strong initial high for the onset and also a creeper. Keeps me stoned for a solid two hours off a small bowl, and then the 3rd hour I'm still buzzed but it's a mellow comedown that is relaxing and a little sleepy, but not burnt out. It works well as a wake n bake if I keep it light, a day time strain, but also knocks me out at night.

I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu every day, and I'm always looking for strains to train on. Love a sess before I roll at the gym and this is the perfect strain for that. Monster hybrid hits all the right spots for that heady creative high but its manageable enough to socialize and chill, and relaxing with a nice chill body stone that loosens me up and lets my body flow. Relaxing but doesn't make me lazy/want to fall asleep when training, so it's perfect. It's great for any activity.

100% recommend this to anyone considering trying it out. Bud is straight fire. I plan to try out more Snazzy Strains in the future.
