Nose 8.1/10

Unbroken, it's sweet citrus, floral, earthy, and dank, floral leading the front with the dank sitting in the back end. Bright and trying to leak through before it even breaks up. Once it's broken down, the dankness pops out a lot more, a soft sweet rank combining with the citrus, a middle pepper note while it stays floral on the front. Like you'd just gotten a stalk of freshly cut lemongrass. Cold jar performance is honestly a weak point though, hard to tell exactly what you're getting into, and you definitely don't get the full picture it's holding back from the raw jar smell.

Taste 7.4/10

First pulls are gassy floral, floral sitting in the middle into an almost chem-esque coat. Gassy stays up front until about a third through the joint, then the floral takes full front, a super tart palate coat and stain that could genuinely turn some people off from finishing it. Halfway through, lung expansion kicks in while staying smooth with no bite. Citrus tries to push through two thirds in, but the perfume-strength floral and chem still overpower it before it slowly steps back, letting pepper, gas, and herbal combine into an amazing inhale while citrus and floral take the exhale. Gets a slightly sharper bite on the inhale near the end, but it's the most balanced stretch of the whole joint, everything coexisting without one note crowding out the rest. Problem is you barely get to enjoy it before it's over. Honestly kept waiting for a bigger shift through most of it, and while small changes were there, I wish they'd been more noticeable; there were points around the halfway mark where I nearly stopped, but glad I rode it out for the full picture.

High 8.9/10

Starts subtle, light neck and sinus pressure, then around 10 minutes in shifts into upper-body downward pressure ending around the ribs. Genuinely good for concentration early on. Around the 22 minute mark I got completely lost off track; had a timer going so I was able to lock back in, but it flips fast from something you'd use to work to something you'd use to relax and watch videos. Heavy head high that locks you in place, best enjoyed comfortable: eat something good, have a video ready, get the temp cozy, and settle in. Lightens up around the 32 minute mark, releasing some of that pressure and leaving a small amount around the shoulders. Fully dissipates around the 1 hour minute mark.

This one's a grower. The nose undersells itself in the jar, and the taste spends most of the joint working toward a balance it only holds for a few pulls before it's gone. That high is the real selling point though, heavy and locked in, genuinely great for a relax and watch something kind of night if you set it up right. Would buy again for a more evolving taste; aswell just to catch more of that late joint balance.
