LSO Cherry Paloma

Information

LSO Cherry Paloma is AAAA flower, and the LSO in front of the name is our own listing's shorthand for living soil organic. Whole intact bud, offered at 7G, 14G and 28G. Flower is bagged in 7G and 28G units: a 7G order comes as one bag, 14G as two 7G bags, and 28G as a single 28G bag.

The frost is the entire first impression. The coat on this run is heavy enough that the pile reads ash and pale beige before it reads green — the green survives only as dark flecks between buds and at the leaf tips. Buds are chunky and rounded, packed tight, without the airy stretch of a looser run. The surface is matte rather than glassy. Pistils are short, fine and orange, scattered thinly across the top, not clustered. Dense like this, it snaps into chunks instead of powdering. Sweet and slightly sharp, nearer candied fruit than fuel. Our noses, not a lab.

What we noticed when this run came in

• Frost you can see from across the room — the coat washes most of the green out of the photograph, and it sits in the flower rather than on it.
• The grade is our word, not a lab's — AAAA is our own shelf label; it tells you where we filed this and nothing more. Living soil organic is what our listing says; we pass it on as that.
• Density that holds its shape — tight buds take handling. Airier flower sheds into shake long before you finish it.
• Only a light orange scatter — the pistils are short, thin and thinly spread, so there is very little to interrupt the frost. If a hairy bud is what you like the look of, this is not one.
• Blank where other shops guess — no indica or sativa tag, no parentage, no percentage. Our listing carries none of it and we are not going to supply it from memory.

Three weights, and which one to take first

7G, 14G and 28G. That is the whole list, and it is one product at three weights , not three different lots of flower. Every order includes a free gift.

Every weight is priced in CAD on the buy box above. Free delivery and free Ground shipping apply to orders over $150 CAD; under that, local delivery is a $10 flat fee, mail orders pay the shipping rate shown at checkout, and the minimum order is $60.

Skip this one if you shop purely on grams per dollar.

On a AAAA listing you are paying for frost and trim as much as anything, and our AAA shelf stretches further for the same money. Take the 7G before you take anything bigger — enough to break up by hand and decide whether the frost is worth what the top shelf asks.

The same living soil line runs through LSO Bananas Blow and LSO Blackberry, so either one is a fair next step from here, and the rest of what we have filed under AAAA sits one page away.

Telling fresh flower from tired flower with your hands

Squeeze a bud gently. Fresh flower gives a little, springs back, then breaks with a soft muffled snap. Flower that has sat too long skips the give — it crushes to powder under no real pressure and decides where it breaks before you do. Stems answer faster. A small stem on fresh flower bends and folds; on a bone-dry one it snaps loud and clean.

What the grinder and the smell give away

Sticky, recent flower loads slowly, drags on the teeth and leaves a film of resin you can scrape off — an argument for metal over cheap plastic here. Old flower spins free and goes to dust in two turns. Then smell it. Aroma fades first, so an old batch does not smell bad: it smells of nearly nothing. Flat, dry, tea and hay.

What buyers want to know about this run

Is this just Frosted Cherry under a different name?

No. They are two listings on the same shelf, both leaning cherry. The honest difference is how each is described to us: Cherry Paloma is one of our living soil organic lots, Frosted Cherry is not listed that way. We are not going to tell you one smokes better. Take 7G of each and let your own nose settle it.

Can this be delivered, or does it have to ship?

Both. The two words mean different things here. Local GTA delivery lands within 2 hours of order confirmation, 12PM to 10PM, 365 days a year. Outside the GTA we ship Canada-wide by mail order, paid by card or e-Transfer.

What does it smell and taste like?

Candied cherry first, something brighter behind it, and less fuel than that much frost suggests. That is our read on this run and nothing more — noses move from lot to lot, and yours may land somewhere else entirely. Break a bud in half before you judge it, because the outside of a dense bud gives up the least.

How does ordering and payment work?

Pick a weight on the buy box above and check out. Most of that happens on a phone — 83% of our checkout submissions come from mobile, so the page is built for a thumb. Pay by Interac e-Transfer, which carries a 5% fee, or cash on delivery on local orders; a mail order can also be paid by card. Every delivery is 19+ with government-issued photo ID checked at the door.
