The flavour was decent, but the effects were a bit too mild for my liking. It’s good for a light high, but not for heavy smokers.

The high is absolutely perfect—strong but not overwhelming. The aroma fills the room, and it’s such a smooth smoke.

The balance between body and mind was great, but it took a little while to hit. Once it did, it was perfect!

It’s a good hybrid, but I felt the effects were a little too light for my liking. Perfect for beginners, though.
