**Pre 98' Bubba Kush**

Haven't had pre 98 in a while so when I seen that this was in stock I didn't hesistate to add it to cart. The buds came sticky and dense, all being on the larger side of 2 grams or more. Not the prettiest looking pre 98 with a little extra leaf but it makes up for it in being over the weight.
Classic kush with that gassy goodness that stinks up a room in no time. A little earthy and musky as well, making for a dank and pungent aroma. All translates to taste nicely and for such a thick and overwhelming smoke, it's pretty smooth on the lungs. Also burns rather clean as it produces a lighter ash in both bong and joint.
The high is fairly potent and quick hitting, settling in behind the eyes right after the initial exhale. Somewhat heady with a strong and blissful body buzz. Relaxing and calming but not overly sedative. This is the perfect smoke for capping off a long day.
**Fruit Loops**

I was sold on the name of this strain for obvious reasons as it sounds delicious and I've never had it before as well. This one in the picture was a large 2 gram nug that had a somewhat dense and heavy, tight structure. Sporting a mix of lovely colors, with deep purples and greens complimented by the orange hairs. Very sticky too, thanks to the substantial amount of trich heads. A little leafy but they are stuck to the bud and caked as well.
The smell of this fruit loops takes on more of a gassy kush profile, which I wasn't really expecting. I'm not sure if it's a placebo effect or not, but there is indeed a fruit loop type of aroma that emits from the bud the more you smell, especially when ground up. Gassy on the exhale with faint notes of berry but nothing too pronounced. Smooth and clean smoking, burning a salt and pepper ash in a joint.
The high is pretty heady and uplifting, as well as both physically and mentally relaxing. Not really sedative but it has potential to be due to the potency and definitely an indica with a tingly body buzz as well.
**Island Pink**

Never had island pink before but I've always heard lots about it. Medium sized nugs that appear fluffy at first but were actually more on the dense side. Unique looking pink hairs that are hidden underneath. Not the greatest trim but the leaf remaining is just as frosty as the bud itself. Sticky and gooey, a proper grinder clogger. Leaves the fingers sticky to the touch.
One of those aromas that remain subtle and dormant until cracked apart. Gassy and sweet with some earthy/skunky notes that translate well to the taste. Reminds me a lot of your standard pink kush just not as floral/perfumey. Smooth on the lungs and throat while still maintaining it's gassy kush goodness and burns a salt and pepper coloured ash.
The high is indica leaning, with heady and euphoric sensations that are soon followed by a very relaxing body buzz. Not your knockout type of indica making it perfect for all day use but can also leave you a little tired and burnt out. I would compare it to certain stains like nuken, pink kush, and Violator in it's effects
**Mendo Breath**

A strain that I've had a few times and have always loved. OGKB (og kush breath) which is a gem on it's own, crossed with Mendo Montage. Interesting look and bud structure going on with this particular one. Light green in colour with pale orange hairs and coated in trichomes. Average moisture level, being slightly sticky and the structure is more on the fluffier rather than dense side.
The nose is a little muted at first and almost has a too fresh smell. Probably could use some extra curing time in a jar. After grinding it up it totally comes alive though with those recognizable mendo breath aromas of sweet earthyness and hints of vanilla. The taste is similar with a sweet creamy smoke and earthy accents. Not the most pronounced mendo but very enjoyable and smooth with a light grey almost white ash.
The high was very relaxing and had me feeling quite locked to my chair. Tingling body buzz that you really felt in the feet and legs. Found it to be pretty potent and a good evening smoke but it definitely made me lazy with a substantial burn out.
**King Louis XIII**

Didn't know too much about this strain up until a couple years ago and it's definitely one of the stronger indicas I've had. These dense buds are beautiful, with a mix of vibrant colours that really stand out. Also absolutely caked in trichs, making for a sticky and resinous texture. Neat trim as well, with minimal leaf.
Smells exactly like what I would expect from something bred by og kush. Gassy and earthy with strong notes of pine. Very pungent aroma overall and the taste is equally as dank. Thick and flavourful smoke that sting the senses with it's deep kushy and gassy taste. Burns slow and greasy with a light grey ash.
Strong, sedating and relaxing indica effects, that come on rather quick. Doesn't take much either, as half a joint in I was already yawning and felt my eyes get heavy and low. This is the type of indica I would definitely use for night time, personally.
**Khalifa Kush**

Seen this strain many times and never pulled the trigger but this time I finally decided to try it and was very glad I did. Frosty dark green nugs, all medium sized, sporting a decent trim for a kush. Really sticky to the touch when breaking apart these tight, squishy buds. Definitely better off in a grinder.
The aroma of this kush instantly reminded me of og kush and many strains of a similar ilk. Lemon/citrus and pine with those unmistakable gassy and earthy kush notes. The flavours are identical and reminiscent of og kush in every way. What stood out was how smooth it was despite being such a full and thick smoke. Clean burning too with a very light ash. Really enjoyable flower and wish I'd have gotten more.
Found it to be a very well balanced hybrid in It's effects. Had all the relaxing and calming traits of an indica but with a certain focus and alertness from the sativa, making it perfectly functional for any time of the day. I would recommend this to those that love gassy strains without the heavy sedation.
**Duke Nukem**

Got this duke nukem as a 1g sample and it came slightly squished. With that said, it still managed to hold some of it's bag appeal, sporting healthy colors with a decent amount of trichs. There's a bit more leaf on this one but that's understandable considering it is rated AA+.
The nose is pretty strong for such a small and compact bud. Flowery and skunky with an almost citrus undertone. Less pronounced when smoked but still that skunkiness remains. Real smooth as well, and fairly clean, burning a salt and pepper ash.
The high is definitely sativa leaning, producing an uplifting and energetic buzz. A bit heady too as I did experience some bouts of spacyness. A great high for doing activities or being functional as it's not the type of strain that promotes relaxation.

No
**Final Notes**
Still my go to for bulk as I tend to stick with places that are consistent and cws has been exactly that in my experiences. I also find that the descriptions of the strains on their site are always accurate when they mention the texture and bud sizes. I've come to make my decisions off them and the on site reviews and only had a couple strains I wasn't crazy about and that's only because they were a little too fresh. Will be back again per usual.
