An introduction to this is in order, because this is honestly the strangest sample pack I've ever received. First of all, not a single one of these products was properly labeled so I had to go to the site and do some digging to figure out what was what. Neither of the prerolls have a strain, when asked I've been told it's a "house blend". I assume these are rolled by them at the "Fat boy blunts" brand is either theirs, or a generic sticker or whatever. Both had similarities that pretty much make me assume these were rolled by the same person. The terp sauce had no strain listed, but there's only one on the site, so, I assume I got it right. The kief only had a sticker that said "kief", again, they offer only one strain so I deduced it was Rockstar. The vape pen just says "indica" and had no indication of what's in there, assuming it's distillate. That brand has "sativa" and "hybrid" pens as well as CBD, go figure, distillate is distillate, it's neither indica or sativa, but anyways.
All in all, the terp sauce is the only product in there that caught my eye. At 20$ a gram, it's competitively priced and I have no reason to believe it's CRC or trim run, it looks and smells like a quality extract and it also smokes like one, really liked it. Burns super clean in the banger, highly recommended.
MOM Name: WestCoastReleaf
Overall rating out of 10: 6.5/10
Sign Up: Didn't sign up, product was provided via Discord
Ordering & Pricing: N/A
Communication: Communications were good no complaints
Packaging: I honestly forget, had the pack a few weeks ago and my Saionara coil was dead so I didn't get to complete the review until this week. I didn't note anything bad so packaging must have been pretty swell
Products / Photos:
Strain Name: Culture (brand) disposable vape pen, 0.4ml
Strain Fidelity: This is distillate. It's mildly terped.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The pen is nice and very small, sleek, has a light that turns on when toking on it. Came into a nice little plastic box that's strudy. The package kinda looks like it could be government stuff, but isn't.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 10/10 Very smooth, smoother than a lot of other distillate pens/carts I've tried.
Burn: 9/10 Produces a lot of vapor fast. Bigger or fast consecutive puffs will taste a bit burnt so do not abuse.
Taste Intensity: 9/10 The taste is fairly strong, but not overwhelming. The terp ratio is good.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 The only taste I get out of it is Eucalyptus which is to say the least, unexpected. The package did not mention any flavor. While it's surprising and unusual, it's also pleasant. Reminds me of the spa
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Everyone knows I'm not a fan of distillate and it's buzz. This one surprised me, not sure if it's the smoothness that allows me to hit it harder, or if those eucalyptus terps are doing some magic, but I got a nice buzz out of this. Like all distillate the duration is kinda short, but the crash hasn't been as hard as others I tried.
Price: 50$ regular, currently on sale at 35$
Value: 35$ wouldn't be a deal, but still would be fair if the thing actually worked until the end. As it is, not something I'd recommend.
"A" Scale Rating: N/A
Notes: It stopped working with about 1/3 left in it. Sucking on it makes the light turn on and flash, but absolutely nothing comes out but air, looks like the coil is toast.

Strain Name: Fat Boy blunt, house blend with distillate, rolled in kief
Strain Fidelity: No strain specified, WestCoastReleaf says it's a house blend.
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 Came into a plastic tube. Joint itself is well rolled. No complaints, but doesn't look fancy, looks like a generic preroll dipped in distillaste and then rolled in generic kief.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9/10 Very smooth no complaints.
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper. Burned smooth and straight no canoing.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Kinda tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 I can't say I've tasted anything particular. Super generic smoke.
Buzz Intensity: 8/10 Nice buzz, again very generic. I was satisfiedly stoned, so there's that.
Price: 20$ per unit
Value: Seems overpriced. Not something I'd buy whatever the price.

Strain Name: Unlabeled Preroll
Strain Fidelity: N/A, no idea what's in there
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 4/10 The roll itself ain't bad, but it has a very generic aroma
Cure & Humidity: 3/10 Dry and terpless
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Generic old weed
Harshness vs Smoothness: 8/10 was fairly smooth
Burn: 8/10 More salt than pepper, burned straight.
Taste Intensity: 3/10 Pretty much tasteless
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Virtually no discernable taste, generic as hell.
Buzz Intensity: 5/10 Did the job but nothing to write home about
Price: 5$ each, on special for 4.25$
Value: Whatever, none IMHO, would never pay for a preroll

Strain Name: Pineapple Expresss "Premium Terp Sauce"
Strain Fidelity: 7/10 I'm a big fan of PE, this didn't really taste like it but it has similar aromas
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: 8.5/10 Nice orangy/brown color, semi translucent. Texture is slightly grainy sauce, very slow moving. Smell is nice and strong, but not overpowering.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 8/10 Smells enough that I had it open on my desk and I could smell it without putting my face to it. Nice exotic fruity aroma. In my experience PE is more piney than this, but this one leans more on the fruity side.
Harshness vs Smoothness: 9.5/10 Some of the smoothest I've had. Really nice.
Burn: 10/10 I was able to clear the whole dab leaving just an ever so small amount of reclaim. I've rarely had extracts that got that far.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Very tasty, produces a lot of vapor.
Taste Complexity: 7/10 PE usually has a complex mix of fruit, pine and spice, this iteration of it really is more on the fruity side and somehow, the pine and spice really doesn't come through. That said I did taste a very slight kush taste. Overall very pleasant, but not a super complex taste.
Buzz Intensity: 9/10 No complaints, got me fucked. Hybrid buzz. Very sleeepy on come down though.
Price: 30$ regular price, on sale at 20$ right now
Value: Good deal at 30$, excellent value at 20$
"A" Scale Rating: AAA+
Strain Name: Sour Blue Soda Bottles candy edibles by Sweeds, 120mg total, 6x 20mg candies
Strain Fidelity: N/A
Size of buds: N/A
Bag Appeal: The candies look nice, are well shaped, the sour sugar on them was well set, they aren't sticky/gooey unlike a lot of candy edibles I've seen. Very nice.
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: N/A
Harshness vs Smoothness: N/A
Burn: N/A
Taste Intensity: 2/10 This tasted INTENSELY bitter, the sour sugar on it only made it worse. No fun eating those.
Taste Complexity: 3/10 Overload of sourness/bitterness/distillate taste with fake raspberry on top. These taste strong and bad.
Buzz Intensity: 10/10 I got seriously fucked eating the whole bag, which is unusual for me, because 100-150mg is usually about where I start feeling something. This felt like a significantly stronger dose. Nice buzz too, not too sedative.
Price: 22.50$ per pack (they aren't on the site anymore but same brand goes for that)
Value: I have a hard time evaluating prices on edibles, but these are significantly more expensive than say Twisted Extracts with similar advertized potency. That said, they are significantly stronger in actual potency, so... OK I guess?

Strain Name: Rockstar Kief
Strain Fidelity: N/A has virtualy no smell, taste isn't what I know of Rockstar flower
Size of buds: N/A N/A
Bag Appeal: 6/10 This kief is pretty coarse, looks more like the stuff you'd find in the top bag after icewashing buds for hash. Lots of stems (very small), I can clearly see pistils in there with the microscope (sorry didn't save pics, but you can see one in the pic, I removed a significantly larger one prior to taking the pic).
Cure & Humidity: N/A
Smell Intensity: 3/10 Virutally no smell, the little that comes through is extremely generic
Harshness vs Smoothness: 6/10 Kief isn't exactly known for it's smoothness, but this wasn't smooth.
Burn: 8/10 Burned alright no complaints.
Taste Intensity: 8/10 Mosty harshness though
Taste Complexity: 1/10 Generic smoke, pretty much absolutely nothing interesting coming from this
Buzz Intensity: 7/10 Gave me an OK buzz. Didn't smoke much. Couldn't be bothered to smoke more of it.
Price: 8$/g or 100$/oz
Value: 100$/oz is fairly cheap, but this is some pretty bottom level quality kief. Guess it could do the job for someone on a tight budget.
"A" Scale Rating: AA-

Notes: The initial contact was about a flower sample pack, but they were waiting on a drop so they send this to break the ice and said they'd send a second pack later when the flower would be available.
