Pre 98 Bubba Kush (Cincopax) - Kush Station - February
I ordered an 8th on my first Kush Station order a few months back, and immediately wished I got more, so when I saw it pop back up recently I couldn’t resist grabbing a half o, and I am glad I did. This batch is as good, if not even better than what I remember.
When I opened the bag I was a bit thrown off at first, as the bud structure seemed completely different from what I got last time. Whereas the last bag I got was small compact buds of around 0.5, these buds were much larger, and the trim seemed a bit different with a bit more leaf on the buds, and a bit more squishy as opposed to the density of the last batch.
My concerns were put to rest as soon as I threw some in my grinder and was treated to the fluffiest, most lively looking weed to come out of that grinder in a while, making rolling a joint an absolute pleasure, the sticky buds forming something like a natural glue as you spin one up with ease.
The smell is classic bubba, an unique and unmistakable smell that is hard to describe and impossible to forget, like an earthy, and ever so subtly kushy dark roast coffee of my dreams. The nose translates perfectly to the flavour, the flavour seeming to travel deep to your chest, to linger long after the burn.
The high is almost entirely in the body, creating a perfect muscle relaxant without the mind sedating effects of a classic “heavy” indica (pink kush etc). For that reason I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for bedtime as it isn’t a completely knockout in the sense that it will calm both body and mind. I find it perfect for stretching my muscles after an especially physical day, but if I really want to let the day melt away, I might mix it with just a bit of something more heady to relax my mind as well.
Quality 8.5/10 I think this is a perfect strain for very specific purposes (muscular pain), but maybe lacks a bit in other departments (mind relaxation/heaviness), so as long as you don’t expect a knock out you should be happy. And even if you don’t get the effects you want, the flavour and smooth burn is worth the experience alone.
Value: 8.5/10 (it isn’t cheap, but luckily I had some kush points + a referral so was able to knock off something like 27 bucks of the half o, so no complaints there)
