\[TheGreenAce\] King Louis XIII Indica Review | 4.5 / 5 | [Microscopic Photos](https://www.safebud.wiki/review/268/king-louis-xiii-indica-this-strain-is-a-trip-back-in-time-as-was-one-of-the-first-strains-we-ever-re)
This strain is a trip back in time as was one of the first strains we ever reviewed (but that time from THC) so it's nice to look back and see if it's the same kind of effects and whether our ability to taste and judge has changed much.
From the jar the buds seem leafy, crystally, some red hairs but not many. Pretty well trimmed with only few half-leaves left over. Without hesitation we're getting a GASSY, hint of SWEETNESS (but pale in comparison). Probably one of the most 'pure' gas/diesel smells you can really get from buds. We tend to see that the diesel strains are usually a bit stronger than fruity strains so hopefully it remains true.
Cracking it open we get an even stronger gassy smell to the point it almost knocks you back a bit. The buds, tho whole and 'neat' maintain quite a fluffy non-dense structure meaning we get little discoloration (a bit lighter) to the core and consistent frosty-ness.
Grinding it up we get a bit less than we expected from the 0.6grams but instead if a STICKY bud (sticks to fingers, to itself, leaves hands sounds sticky). This is pretty consistent with other gassy strains we've come across with a matching STRONG diesel smell (and perhaps an equally high THC content).
After trying it from the vape we got one of the most UNIQUE combination of flavors we've come across. Obvs. diesel flavor was the first we got hit ... with an odd twist. Soon after we got a skunky flavor which was best described as instead of the bitterness of gas/diesel we had a sweeter, more cooked-food flavor which added nicely to the buds spectrum.
From the pipe we get a light grey to dark grey ash. The smoking experience was not THAT smooth (could have been smoother). We got a bit of that diesel flavor, light on the lungs. The effects were pretty heavy indica (no body buzz but rather brain dead) meaning you cold walk around, do chores and not really think too much. Safe to say it was a head-buzz indica effect rather than couch lock body buzz. Effects kicked in right away and continued to creep up over the next 5-10 mins.
Overall, looking back at other King Louis we had the flavors, effects and smells very closely resemble this one from months later. A nice looking bud, strong smell, unique vape combination and tolerable indica effects makes it a solid choice for after-work smokes. Perhaps due to our ability to judge more tastes we get this unique, skunky-ish flavor near the tip of the tongue which was a nice surprise over what would be a boring, run-of-the-mill diesel/gas experience.
