Shout out to all you vendors taking risks to keep us fiends stocked up. Your service and stealth game is much appreciated.
I've had 3 top quality orders from LB now and wanted to show some appreciation with a post combining my thoughts on each. Did some research with checking lots of comments + posts before each order. Figured maybe this will help streamline some decision making for new members interested in any of these vendors/particular strains.
-Blue Nerds, Pistachio
The most expensive bud I've ever purchased in the UK. Could see Pistach had a quality rep so treated myself to something high-end for a first LB order. Blown away. Ordered late afternoon and still received next day delivery. Very dense + tasty buds, smooth resilient vaping with a deep long lasting high reminiscent of an edibles effect. I'd say it's a hybrid with an indica dominance. You feel it almost immediately from head to toe and it has a knack of elevating whatever mood and moment you're in. Perfect for a couch lock TV day, perfect for a chatty outside get together with friends. Relaxing, energising...it's like it can be whatever you want it to be. Saying that, it's not suitable for working - far too strong for that - and I'd wager gaming with any sort of competency would be a stretch. No light effects here: one way or another, you will be BLASTED.
Arrived a bit overweight so felt like I'd robbed Pistach with a couple of free sessions - trust me, a little bit of this bud goes a long way. A true "special occasions" smoke.
Not long after ordering this I went to the states and got one of the highest end buds in a top dispensary (a 29% THC Strange Haze). Will comfortably say the Blue Nerds is on par with that. Expensive at $27/g but deservedly highly rated. You get what you pay for and if you have the budget for this kind of treat you won't be disappointed.
-Mac n Jack, Urban Leaf Co.
For me this was a good marriage of price + quality. $38 for 2g, so $19/g which is premium but for that I got quick delivery, immediate comms and quality bud exactly as pictured and described. Smooth, tasty, calming high that promotes focus. Notable for being strong yet functional without inducing the usual midnight munchies I get with a lot of other strains. Also has that nice indica full body high without feeling immediately sleepy. Pretty much the perfectly balanced hybrid. Really glad I've tried it, would recommend this high to anyone and of the 3 buds I'm reviewing here, this is one I'd feel most comfortable giving to new smokers + old heads alike.
A little disappointed to see the price per gram is now nearly halved compared to what I paid, but might not have picked it up if 7g was the only option when I ordered. If you're in the market for a Q of a crowd-pleasing quality hybrid you're getting a banging deal if you nab this at the updated $11/g price point.
-Mimosa Evo, Keep it Green
All I have to say is WOW!! Actually, that's a lie, I have a lot more to say on this one. It's the kind of weed you tell your grandkids about. Honestly I cannot praise this enough. Service wise - slowest delivery I've had on LB at 5 days (weekend included) but with plenty in the jars already this was a non-issue for me. This bud is one for the connoisseurs and worth the wait.
Why so good? I've been chasing flavours since switching to dry herb vaping at the start of the year and it feels like this Mimosa Evo is the pot of gold reward at the end of the rainbow. Makes a mockery of some Evo I picked up elsewhere earlier this year. Arguably the most beautiful looking british bud I've seen in my 20+ years of daily smoking. Grown and cured to perfection. Smells and tastes like it's wrapped in orange/grapefruit peel. 0.15g provided me with a solid 30 minute sesh in the vape. 10 mins at a lower-to-mid temp range brought out those intense flavours and a surprisingly cerebral high for what is usually just a flavour temp range. 10 mins at the mid-to-high range intensified the effects and carried the high down to my body, leaving me relaxed and comfortably fixed in place without being couch locked. Finishing it off at max range full on melted me into the sofa, made me look like I had red contact lenses in and sleep soon followed. This must be very high THC because I swear I can still feel it in the system some 15 hours later. Despite being subject to a 30 minute sesh the AVB looks mostly coffee brown, so should still have something to give when used in edibles in the future.
This was supposed to be my last order for a while. Have an enforced T-break coming up soon due to a new kid on the way and easily enough weed in the jars to see me over the line. Despite that, totally considering another order of this so I have it to hand when I can get back on it. It is that good.
Note: Got this at the promo price of $33 for 3.5g ($9.42/g) - daylight robbery. It's now $13-$14ish per gram at full price and, for me, definitely worth it. If you're just looking for a strong high and don't care about the nuances of quality you can obviously get Dawg or something far cheaper and get blasted. If you're "into" weed on a fanatical level, from bag appeal to flavour to cleanliness of high, this feels like Christmas has come early.

Nothing but respect for all you guys, I'll be back sooner rather than later and look forward to ordering from Pistach, ULC and KiG again as well as trying a whole bunch of others.
