Every cannabis connoisseur knows a legend when they see one, and Cali Kush is nothing short of legendary. Ancestor to many modern Kush strains, it still stands tall, offering a memorable bang for your buck. That earthy, grassy vibe? It’s jazzed up with hints of anise and pine, wrapping up in a creamy smoke that’s like a blast from the past.
We had to see if Piff’s pre-rolled version could stand up to competitors DOJA’s Cali Kush Cake or Vibe’s Rocketman Pre-roll.
Smell
Pre-rolls often get the rep for being light on the aroma, but Piff’s version made us do a double-take. The moment that lid came off, we got smacked with a rich, sweet herbal aroma. That piney kick? Front and center. A hint of citrus danced around the edges, though not all of us caught that note. The scent came stronger than anticipated, and we were all fingers crossed for the taste.
Appearance
The joints arrived in a sleek plastic doob tube. All the details upfront – brand, strain, cannabinoids, the works. As for the pre-rolls themselves? They were neatly rolled in king-size brown rolling papers, reminiscent of RAW, with matching brown filter tips. They looked well-made and weren’t jam-packed, hinting at a smooth burn ahead. First impressions? Pretty solid.
Flavour
Lighting up was a breeze, with the pre-rolls burning even and steady. The flavour played out just like the smell hinted at: musky cream taking the lead. The pine made a cameo at the start but was soon overshadowed. Smooth drags all around with just a hint of coughs here and there. The whole squad seemed to be vibing with the session.
Experience
Our tube from Piff was part of lot number MJ0029 and was packaged on August 23, 2023. Priced at $11.75 for a two 1-gram pre-rolls that had THC levels of 31.9%, we knew we were in for a ride and man, did it deliver. While not overpowering, every drag sent calming waves, making us feel like we were floating on cloud nine. A definite couch-locker, you’ll want to reserve this for those wind-down moments. While it made us feel buzzed and anchored, conversations still flowed effortlessly. Piff? Never heard of them before, but at just under $6 a joint, they dished out a pleasant surprise. If you’re on the hunt for a knockout indica pre-roll, this one’s a winner.
