Let me just start out by saying I'm extra as f... so bear with me lol. This would be my second outing with this strain from two different collectives and this review will be directed at the later due to many minute aspects that separates good from great. The main take-away is umami ( for us cavemen it's lasting flavor in your mouth like Louisiana dry-rub cooked to perfection), some cultivars have it and Jungle Boys Skywalker OG definitely does.
Vaped from a Stolz & Bickel crafty+ ......
Bud Structure - I got the smalls so bud structure should be the least important topic but for an OG I was happy that the flower was fluffy compared to the usually diamond nuggets I'm used to seeing, it just makes it easier to portion out flower for dosing capsules and it prevents over packing since the flower just springs back up perfectly filling the volume . Right now I have it in a amber jar that I keep forgetting to close but it has a 62% humidity pack size 4 ( their roughly the size of sugar packets at burger joints and they keep your flower at optimal humidity for the best flavor and burn , definitely look into them if you care about terp profiles and trichrome preservation.). Also jars are being stored in a refrigerator roughly 50 F ( 10 C for the bros overseas) but it's hard to differentiate a skinny bar from a big bar so temps might be off. Back to packs, there's two type that are recommended but I only have experience with the 62% ones and since they work I don't see myself dropping down to the 58% which I heard keeps your flower firmer. So at 30 x the trichrome formation density is ridiculous seriously not joking dog lol and if I didn't see it through a literal microscope I would of thought trichomes were sprouting out of trichomes. the most important thing I saw was whoever harvested the batch is a master, perfect transition between clear and milky with maybe ......like 10ish % amber ( mind you I'm not an expert I'm just extra for the sake of being extra especially when I see passion). damn were still on bud structure lol shit.....
Aroma - This is some legit OG, the aroma is similar to walking near pine trees after it rains and I'd say it was borderline(I had to look up this word) aromatherapeutic because the smell alone relaxed me just like the scent given off after you crush up fresh lavender or rosemary. Mind you this is pre-sesh, but don't worry the smell is exactly how it smells when you smoke/vape it btw ( dry vapes make you herb last longer , taste better and depending on the temperature vaped it can help you sleep or keep you a active/productive).
Taste - Like I said the main takeaway should be umami, the flavor we all know and love is here in full effect and then some. Every hit taste the same out of a dry herb vape with a session lasting about 7 minutes so that say a lot. The vapor leaves a greasy sensation on the tongue and it seriously reminds me when you eat candy that turns you tongue red because every time I rubbed my tongue along the roof of my mouth I just tasted DANK, not pine tree or whatever I wrote above just DANK. I'd really recommend you look into a dry herb vapor were you can adjust temps on the fly unless you want to fast track the session and burn it on max option which you could but I see it as a disservice to the the work the cultivators invested into the final product. quick recap.... pine trees , umami and dank.
Effects - The effect last a long time and it's not your typical monster energy crash like some strains, I got issues with different muscle aches here and there and going on almost 4 hours I'm still finding relief for the trigger points which makes it easy to get to the deep fascia when using an impact tool for deep tissue massages. If you looking for a strain that can help you unwind this is definitely it especially when you need something to take the edge of the pain of an aggressive foam roller. Along with it's ability to relief pains , it works exceptionally well at boosting creativity while preventing information overload ( to the ADHD cats out there , stand up). The average dosage from the S&B capsule is between .1 and .2 grams and I put this out to let you know that this is the amount I need to relief my issues for over 4 hours so unless you're trying to dark souls your inner demons all night, I'd recommend to pace yourself . I could of said more but I keep looking at that four page paragraph on the bud structure and chuckle to myself. alright I'm done, support your locals .
