The nugs I got in my $10 gram of Star Cookie (yeah, I said nugs. Plural.) were tightly packed and firm, but just a little crumbly. Dense but delicate. As you can see above, the bud was pale green with long, ginger hairs and it was absolutely coated in kief and crystals.

The aroma as I opened the bag was piney and earthy with just a hint of berry. The inhale was very smooth and the berry flavor opened up on the exhale leaving a pleasant after-taste. This one is a slow builder but very mellow(indica hard at work!), and I would say it’s great for an evening boost but also a good weed for Netflix and chill. With such a relaxing high and the slow pick-up, this strain is great for the first-timers or the one-hitter quitters in your circle. Although the more aggressive smokers might find this a bit mild, it’s definitely a good mixer or follow-up for dabs.
