Today I’m writing about a quarter of Saveur des Sommets Blue Pavé flower. This one comes out of Quebec, but I bought it locally for $46 plus tax.

Blue Pavé is a cross between Azul Runtz and Pavé, and the store called it an indica.

Inside the usual mylar bag, I found just 2 huge buds along with a few smalls. The buds were obviously hand trimmed and treated well, they were still really coated in trichomes

There was a nice spicy gassy sweet herbal nose out of the bag, and I got a good sticky grind too.

In the vape it started off as a sweet musk with hints of fruit, gradually fading to a bland smoky musk. Smooth to the end anyway.

I did get somewhat sedative effects, so the indica label is fair I guess.

This is really good cannabis, it just needs a touch more flavour to move up onto the top shelf, but it was priced right IMO.

Interest in mathematical mysteries marks you as a maven, so you’ll want to know that the THC was 30.7% and the terpenes 4.33%, with limonene, linalool, and myrcene as the top 3.

My bag was packed on July 8, 2026 in lot BP-02-26.

A quick second look at an old favourite, the Northern Apple Jaxx Live Rosin from Earthwolf Farms. I bought mine from Mendo.

I last reviewed this over two years ago, and Mendo had a new batch, so I thought I’d take another look.

The rosin was darker than the last time, and a little orangey in colour. I put that down to the hot summer temperatures in the Purolator truck. The texture was still easy to handle though.

I think the nose was a little stronger, and the flavour still gave me that caramel apple vibe, which I really love.

I still think this is really good rosin, although some people might be put off by the colour. It tastes great, with good effects, so I don’t care about that much.

Meddling in the mysteries of mathematics can manifest many monsters, so be careful when I tell you the THC was 70.43%, the CBG was 4.0%, and the terpenes 5.7%, with myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene as the top 3.

Something new from some old friends to write about today, the Candy Rain Live Rosin from Earthwolf Farms. I bought mine from Mendo, even though it was a little above my usual price point.

Candy Rain is a cross of Gelato and Lemon Pound Cake, and they’re calling it an indica hybrid.

It came in their usual small glass jar inside a mylar bag, and the rosin in the jar had a nice smooth, easy to handle texture.

The rosin was caramel coloured, and there was a nice mild spicy sweet nose when I opened the jar.

In my Carta 2 at 480, the flavour was a sweet musk, with a side note of petrochemicals, and a hint of cinnamon.

Bottom line, I don’t think this is the best rosin from Earthwolf, it’s not my favourite flavour, so it’s probably not a rebuy for me, but YMMV.

If you develop daydreams about digits, don’t delay, do something about it before I tell you the THC was 62.6%, the CBG 7.8%, and the terpenes 9.5%, with pinene and caryophyllene as the top 2.

My jar was packed June 10, 2026 in lot 26-FP002.

Today I’m writing about a quarter of Jet Fuel Funk from Joi Botanicals. I bought this locally for $53.

Jet Fuel Funk is a cross of GMO and Jet Fuel Gelato, and they’re calling it an indica.

The bag was filled with 5 big buds, 3 small ones, and a tiny Boveda. The buds were absolutely coated with trichomes on the outside, they actually stick to your fingers.

I was a little worried it might be dry because it was a little older, but it ground up nice and sticky.

There was a nice mild gas and spice smell right out of the bag. In the vape, it’s more of a spicy skunky musk. Smooth to the end of the bowl.

I get sedative type effects, so I can go along with the Indica label, and I’d class it as pretty strong.

Even if it was packed a while ago, this is still really good cannabis. It just goes to show what a good cure can do.

I haven’t had any Joi products for a few years since I haven’t seen them around much, I’m glad to see they’re still producing really good flower.

Delusions of digital divinity deteriorate your dignity, really these are just digits I give you when I say the THC was 27.51% and the terpenes 4.82%, with myrcene, pinene, limonene, and caryophyllene as the top 4.

Mg bag was packed in lot JFF143325F on February 24, 2026.

Today I’m checking out the first BLKMKT branded product I’ve seen here in Winnipeg. It’s their rotating Exclusives product, and the cultivar for drop 9 was GDP Cherry Soda. I paid $63 plus tax. I really just wanted to see if they were worth the hype.

The quarter came in a nice glass jar with a not very tight seal under lid. Opening it let out a strong fruity grape smell, really nice nose here.

In the jar were 6 buds and a single popcorn, along with a small Boost.

Looking closely at the buds, it was disappointing to see all the missing trichome heads, it actually looked machine trimmed to me. I expected better at this price point.

In the vape, the nose didn’t quite come through completely, it’s more of a sweet musk, still pretty tasty though.

Where it falls down is in the effects. It’s nowhere near the claimed THC level in my opinion, I have to supplement with hash or kief to get decent medicinal effects.

So, is it worth the hype and the high price? That’s a big nope from me. It’s still pretty good I guess, but weak. I feel a bit like a kid who got sold oregano at the park. 😂

Mathematical mendacity makes me mad, but I’ll still tell you that they said the THC was 27.07% and the terpenes 1.84%, with myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, and ocimene as the top 3.

My jar was packed July 7, 2026 in lot 3PLO4426EX1.

Today I’m writing about the Victoria Cannabis Helium, which is their latest flower, and a cross between the Ukee and G-Wagon cultivars.

This one was a gift from a friend in BC, so if you’d like, you can have your grain of salt ready as you read this. 😂

The buds were beautiful, big and sticky, and just completely coated with healthy trichomes. Bag appeal is off the charts! These are obviously buds that have been carefully handled. It ground up nice and sticky too.

Opening the bag, it gave off a beautiful terpinolene dominant citrusy nose, with some spicy skunk mixed in there.

In the vape it’s a lemony musk with the spice and skunk showing up as background notes. Smooth, with flavour to the end of the bowl.

This one was described to me as “zippy”, and I’d agree with that. This is a “get up and get sh&t done” weed.

This is excellent cannabis, fresh and strong. It actually hit me harder than the numbers might indicate. Thanks again brother. 👍🏻

Deviancy in digits doesn’t definitively cause depravity, still you should be careful when I tell you the THC was 26.9%, the total cannabinoids 33.7%, and the terpenes 3.04%, with terpinolene, myrcene, and ocimene as the top 3.

My bag was packed on August 13, 2026 in lot HLM-P-002.

Kind of a sad story to tell today, it’s about some Headstone Forbidden Fruit Cured Resin. I bought it locally for $45.59 plus tax.

After loving the last few Headstone products I’ve had, I was excited to try this when it showed up in Winnipeg.

It came in a typical glass jar in a small mylar bag. The resin had collected in one corner, so I had to scrape it together before taking pictures of it.

It was an orangey gold colour, in a diamonds and sauce type texture, with crystals separating from the liquid terps.

Sadly, in my Carta 2 at 495, it tasted old and musty. Concentrated “basement terps” are no bueno! 🤢

Headstone is still 3 out of 4 in my books, but this one is a hard pass for me.

Normally, I like cured resin, it gives growers a chance to use up flower that didn’t sell, and it gives consumers a chance to get concentrate at a decent price, but I think the flower used for this just got too old before it was extracted.

Don’t get apoplectic over abstract arithmetic, see the absurdity when I tell you the THC was 77.1% and the terpenes 7.53% with caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, myrcene, and pinene as the top 5.

My jar was packed March 4, 2026 in lot X018-R1-B.

Today I’m writing about some Six One Charlie branded Rogue Pop grown by Black Kettle Farms. I got my quarter from Mendo.

I couldn’t find much out about the cultivar, but they say it’s a hybrid. The bag also mentioned that it’s never irradiated.

Just 9 firm buds made up the quarter, ranging in size from small to medium, along with a few popcorn, and the grind was sticky and fresh.

There was a beautiful sweet fruit candy nose out of the bag, and in the vape, that sweet candy comes through nicely in the taste with some spicy notes.

This is excellent cannabis, comes in just under the top shelf. I want to order more and I haven’t even finished it yet.

Maladjusted mathematicians may magnify minor matters until they seem mad, and then say the THC was 32.6% and the terpenes 1.9%, with myrcene, ocimene, and linalool as the top 3.

My bag was packed in lot RP-25-01 on July 27, 2026.

Today I’m writing about a 1964 branded quarter of Gasolina flower that was grown by Meridian 125W. I bought it locally.

I loved Meridian’s Moonshine last year, so I was excited to find this locally after seeing some positive reviews out of Ontario.

Gasolina is a cross of Blueberry Diesel and Thai Haze, and is classed as an indica.

The quarter was made up of 10 small and medium buds. They were quite firm, and gave a nice sticky grind.

I got a mild sweet gas nose out of the bag. In the vape, some fruity sweetness is up front, followed by a sweet musk, with hints of gas. The flavour lasts to the end of the bowl, which is great.

I’d rate this as excellent medicine, either just below, or at the bottom of the top shelf.

A deluge of decimals can deliver a delightful debacle, but you won’t find that here, just that the THC was 29.3% and the terpenes 2.78%, with caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool as the top 3.

My bag was packed June 1, 2026 in lot GSLSEF001.

Up for examination today is this BC 1/4 branded Pink Pavlova. I bought it locally for $45 plus tax.

Pink Pavlova is a cross between Pink Cookies and Strawberry Pavé, and they class it as an indica.

As the brand name suggests, it’s a quarter ounce, and it’s packed in a mylar bag. The buds were mainly small and medium sized, and maybe a little larfy. A tiny Boost pack was included in the bag.

The grind was a little dry, with some trichome separation, but not too bad.

I got a mild sweet fruit candy nose out of the bag, but in the vape, the flavour mainly comes across as a sweet musk. Smooth, but unassuming.

I’d rate this as pretty good mids, so for the price, I’d say the value is there.

Nothing nibbles at the neocortex like nice numbers, here’s some, the THC was 30.969% and the terpenes 1.73%, with limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene as the top 3.

My bag was packed in lot (10)CC15JUL2026.103 on July 15, 2026.

Another Headstone product to write about today, their rotating Quartz flower quarter, which is currently Lamb of God. I bought it locally for $53 plus tax.

Lamb of God is a cross between Super Lemon Haze and Lambs Breath, and they class it as a sativa.

Only 5 extremely sticky buds made up the quarter, and it ground up fresh and sticky. The bag has a UV-protected transparent window, and a Boost pack was included.

The nose was a nice mild lemon and peppery spice. In the vape, it was peppery skunk, with a sweet musk finish. Smooth and tasty.

Consumed on its own first thing in the morning, I found it very strong, with a real “get things done“ vibe.

This is excellent cannabis, makes me want to go back for more.

Mathematical mysteries may make a merry mess through malfeasance, so mind when they say the THC was 35.1%, total cannabinoids 41.82%, and the terpenes 3.83%, with myrcene, pinene, limonene, and linalool as the top 4.

My bag was packed on February 20, 2026 in lot LOG4-F7-B.

Another hash product to write about today, the Curado “Fruit” Temple Ball Hash from the good folks at Oaziz Extracts in Montreal. I bought it locally for $36 plus tax.

It came as their usual 1.5g ball in a glass jar with silicone cover, inside a plastic jar with seal.

This is a rotating product evidently, and this time the cultivar was Gazzurple according to the jar.

The hash had an excellent texture, easy to handle, and I think it should probably snake if you’re into that.

Out of the jar, it had a fairly mild hashy smell, and in a flower sandwich in the vape, it added a sweet hashy taste.

This is a really good temple ball style hash, maybe not quite up to the level of their Cali B and Black Cherry Punch hash, but what is? 🤓

Never mind the numerologists, if you’re normal, they’re just numbers, the THC was 60.098% and the terpenes 1.795%.

My jar was packed in lot 71383 on March 20, 2026.

More hash to write about today, the Hammerhead AFG Blonde Hash by Headstone Cannabis. I bought it locally for $35.

I have a soft spot for blonde hash, since it reminds me of the stuff I got back in the 70s, so I was excited to see this around after seeing a positive review.

The hash came as a little 2g square chunk in a parchment envelope, inside a small mylar bag. It’s made from their Black Mountain Side cultivar, a cross between Wedding Cake x Thin Mints.

This was an old school blonde hash, lightly pressed, probably from dry sift. It had a firm but brittle texture, breaking down easily with just fingers. This hash definitely isn’t for snaking in a kettle though.

Out of the bag, it had a mild sweet incense nose, and in a flower sandwich in the vape, it was sweet and very smooth.

This is excellent blonde hash. It must be, I went back for 2 more before I even finished the first. 😋

Dabbling in digits can make you a dribbling idiot, so be careful with these, the THC was 43.2%, the total cannabinoids 51%, and the terpenes were 1.76%, with caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, ocimene, and farnesene as the top 5.

My bag was packed in lot BMS4-H2-B on February 13, 2026.

Another budget rosin to write about, today it’s some Astrolab Guavacot Kush Lightspeed Live Rosin Cold Cure. I bought it locally for $39.99 plus tax.

Not much information on the bag, not much room after you print the name, but the website says it’s a hybrid. 😂

Inside the bag was a typical glass jar, with a plastic lid and plastic seal.

The rosin was a little dry, but retained enough moisture to still be easy to handle. The colour was good, a nice light yellow.

In my Carta 2 at 480, I got a sweet fruity musk. Smooth and easy on the throat and lungs anyway.

The reclaim was a little dark, and some plant matter was left behind, but not too bad.

This is really good budget rosin. I can see buying this one again, it’s got good strong hybrid effects.

Never mind the numeracy nuts, these numbers aren’t negativistic, the THC was 72.6% and the terpenes 8.2%.

My jar was packed February 26, 2026 in lot ANC-3912.

Today I’m writing about some Cosmic Extracts Papaya Punch Live Rosin. I bought it locally for $40.98 plus tax.

The gram of rosin came in a square glass jar with plastic cap, inside the usual mylar bag.

The rosin was a light beige in colour, but the consistency was way too dry and waxy. Because it crumbles so easily, it’s tough to handle, and to figure out how much to use.

Not a lot of flavour left in it to write about either, mainly a sweetish hashy musk. It leaves only a light reclaim, making for an easy cleanup.

It was tagged as a hybrid, and I’d say that’s fair based on the effects.

This is still a decent budget live rosin, it just got way too dried out at some point. Not from sitting in the store either, since they only had it for a couple of weeks before I bought it.

My guess is that this is an older batch, since this cultivar isn’t even mentioned on their website anymore.

If you are maladroit at mathematics, I’ll show some magnanimity and tell you the THC was 74.075%.

My jar was packed in lot JRPC260302 on April 22, 2026.

Another concentrate product at a good price to write about today, the Terra Labs Clementine Kush Live Resin. I bought this one locally for $32.48 plus tax.

The resin came in a standard big top small bottom jar with plastic seal under the lid. It had the sticky wet sugar consistency that I like to see in live resins, and was a dark gold in colour.

In my Carta 2 at 495F, it had a dank weedy skunk flavour with hints of sweetness, that I really enjoyed, and the effects were nicely sedative. It was an easy cleanup too, with just a light reclaim.

All in all, this was an excellent budget live resin even though it was an older batch. i actually went back and got another one.

Newcomers to these numbers should remain neutral when I tell them the THC was 83.68%.

My jar was packed on April 13, 2025 in lot 2024TSME0002.

A hash product to write about today, the Vertuose Culture Old Press Hash. I bought this from Herbal Dispatch.

The hash came as a small dark brown puck in a small parchment bag inside the usual mylar bag. Cut open, it was a lighter greenish brown.

They say the hash is made from indoor grown organic input, and is a multi cultivar blend.

The texture is just about perfect for this kind of hash, not too soft or sticky, but not hard either. It should snake well I think.

This is really good hash, a touch more smell and flavour and it goes right to the top shelf. I can see myself buying it again.

If decadent debauchery is your deal, don’t dally here, these are decent digits, the THC was 58.48% and the terpenes 3.11%, with caryophyllene, humulene, bisabolol, linalool, and limonene as the top 5.

My bag was packed February 14, 2026 in lot number 06010720003.

Another Amani Craft flower to look at today, a quarter of their Gastro Pop. I bought it locally for $62 plus tax.

Gastro Pop is a cross between Grape Gasoline and Apples & Bananas. I know I swore to never buy another product with Apples and Bananas in the genetics, but I made an exception for Amani, I just compromised by getting the quarter instead of the half.

Holy bag appeal Batman, 1 huge bud, and 2 smalls made up the whole quarter. Fresh too, with a nice sticky grind, but maybe just a touch too wet.

Beautiful strong fruity nose out of the bag. The nose came through in the vape a little at the very beginning of a bowl, before ending up as a secondary note behind a slightly harsh cedary musk.

This is still good cannabis, I just wish that beautiful smell came out in the flavour more. As it is, I guess I’ll go back to skipping Apples and Bananas crosses.

Nihilists never need numbers, so they won’t need to know that the THC was 27.44% and the terpenes 6.31%, with myrcene, ocimene, and pinene as the top 3.

My bag was packed on May 13, 2026 in lot GP035BGS03 from a February 26th harvest.

I was excited to see some Amani Craft products show up locally, so I had to score some. First up to talk about, a quarter of their Turbulence. I bought it locally for $52 plus tax.

Turbulence is a cross of Mai Thai #4 and Gusherz, and they class it as indica dominant.

Just 5 buds and a couple of popcorn made up my quarter. No moisture pack was included, or needed, since the buds ground up nice and sticky.

There was a mild spicy gas nose with hints of rubber right out of the bag. In the vape, it was mainly a spicy dank musk.

This was really good medicine, almost sneaking onto my top shelf, but not quite.

Malingering mathematicians mostly make up their numbers, so maybe don’t make a fuss when I tell you the THC was 29.94% and the terpenes 5.97%, with limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene as the top 3.

My quarter came from lot TB036BGS02 and was packed May 13, 2026 from a March 19th harvest.

Here’s another look at a Woody Nelson Country Club bag, today it’s a half ounce of Grape Galena grown by Craft Kings. I bought it locally for $86.49 plus tax.

The bag was made up of mainly medium sized buds, with a few smalls, and a small Boveda in there too. The buds had good moisture, and gave a sticky grind.

Right out of the bag, I got a nice creamy grape nose. It doesn’t quite translate in the vape, coming out as more of a sweet skunky musk with just a hint of grape. I still really liked the flavour though, and this stuff was very smooth, with strongly sedative effects.

This is excellent cannabis, if you’re in Winnipeg, it’s worth looking for.

Mavens of mysticism mock mathematics, so they won’t care that the THC was 29.44% and the terpenes 2.56%, with limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, farnesene, and linalool as the top 5.
