FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall a great smoke and a something everyone should try. Very pronounced Caramel taste, with hints of earthy spice undertones are present on inhale and exhale. It seems like the longer the cure, the transition shifts from Caramel to more tropical papaya. We enjoyed Karma Jack as a daytime smoke, a great compliment to the morning and getting things going. Bag appeal is great with dark green colors and very visible trichomes and although smaller bud structure, they underlaying flower cluster dry very nice from each other giving it an usual dry look which when crumbled is unexpected dense and fills the air with aroma. You know something special is coming next. Not a “sticky” bud when dried and cured, but no doubt will leave some crumbles and trichs on your fingers, so be careful! Most distinct Caramel taste of herb I have had and again something that has developing tastes throughout the cure.
