I just smoked my first buds this afternoon, and now that I'm home, I smoked a few pipes for a fresh buzz. My first impression is that it's a lot stronger than I thought it'd be. Utopia Haze is no lightweight but it's not as strong as Carnival for instance. And Buddha Haze wasn't remarkable 'cause she hermied before she had a chance to finish. But this cross has a solid punch! I've been smoking the Rio (Carn x UH) and I think this may be stronger.
And I think it's primarily Brazilian with the typical spiritual high.
The aroma is ... there's a characteristic aroma that the old Colombian sativas had, that I seldom see described. It's hard to put a finger on - a light tingling scent, the kind a light lubricating oil might have. I've called it sandalwood, but this has a citrus topnote too. Fresh cut oiled wood, with a bowl of cut limes on top?
Mostly, I'm startled at the punch it has. My head's still thrumming ...
Better have another pipe.
[Edit] Now I'm getting a mild floral taste ... this one has my attention - gonna watch the terps develop. Or maybe it was the grapes. Has anyone had those Holiday grapes in the stores now? Big crunchy seedless red grapes? Holy crap that's a fine grape! I discovered them a few years ago but last year's crop must have been a bust, 'cause they only had a few and they were gone. This year they're spectacular again.
... might be a munchy buzz associated with this strain ...
