Haze Incense taste/smell?

Thank you, it was very different from what I'm used to smoking, both in high and taste.

Indoors even more so.. it was like smoking incense, creamy with a bitter note to it.

I think you should go with ace seeds, purple/green haze standard or purple haze thai standard.. that is if you don't mind waiting 16-20 weeks.. you could always make your own seeds.

Nevils haze is often mentioned as an incensy strain.
My experience after running 3 packs of nevils haze and a pack of nevs haze mango is that the churchyness can be found but alot of searching will be needed. If it has the incense smell/taste, it will usually be faint - and the same can be said of the buzz too. The nevs haze mango is quite different and more variable - also more tasty and smelly phenos can be found. Here too, a good potent pheno wasnt found in my pack. Not exactly a ringing endorsement and I am well aware of how highly some folks speak of these strains but to me it was a wasted 2-3 years running haze hay.

I have heard fugu kush ( bubba x blowfish) has an incensey smell/taste. Havent tried it personally though.

I've found that most pure haze plants need at least 8 weeks of curing to be any good.

I've yet to try Nevil's haze but maybe your expectations were too high.

Yep ...

Yep ...

MNS Nevil's Haze and Nevil's Haze × Mango Haze have a very large proportion of plants with the incense qualities you describe. You may well be mistaken for a priest if you walk down the road smoking them :D
I grow them often and I find that I can use them as incense almost every time.

Having said that, a lot of sativas will show such characteristics, especially SE Asian ones, though perhaps not quite as reliably as Nevil's Haze and its crosses.

I'd recommend the Nevil's Haze × Mango Haze meself, easier to grow, huge yields, cheaper to buy, and can be even more churchy and tasty than Nev's on occasion.

G`day Gert

Big NVL`s Hz / Mango fan here .
I`ve grown ASHz , Critical Hz , NL5 Hz , Mango Widow , Mango Hz ,G13 Hz ,NVL`s Hz / Mango . Smoked a few samples of NVL`s Hz .

Thanks everybody for the info, as some might be able to tell I'm after a smoke with that NYC Haze smell and taste to it, I of course would prefer a Haze with these traits as I'm sure others would as well, but I would be willing to try any type of strain as long as they had those traits I was after. Thank you

There are many great suggestions in this thread

As a fellow NYer Nevilles haze is the closest thing ive tasted not from Uptown (she can easily pass for NYC haze) .Ive only grown two phenos an both Incense type smoke IME but im no expert an it was outdoor .Soo the phenotypic expression could be abit diff indo aswell as protection from outdoor elements a mature clone (Mine was from seed) an dialing in might have been even more what I was lookin for .But i was throughly pleased surprised estatic for better words

But ill say again ive ran 2 phenos from seed an i had plants from the first run in plain soil that tasted the same as my ameneded soil .Nothin sweet about Nevilles haze st8 incense .

I ran Sk/Hz aswell an found some similarites in one pheno but not exactly what i was looking for .

I must suggest MNS Haze hybrids ,NH ,Afghan haze an Mango haze along with other mentions of newer hybrids .BUt #1 is Nevs .

For the taste that we know You cant forget ,they arent commonly mentioned But I would Highly Recommend .Sams CC Thunk is been reported to have phenos that are Church an his Haze/skunk has incense reports aswell. These smokes have been put in high reguard by some of the IC Fam an they are definetl on my to do list

Ace Seeds Is also another that has to be mentioned in a Haze/Incense convo this line shares many Similarites to the Santa Cruz Original Haze .The Oldtimers Haze an Crosses are known to have the incense trait which Dubi is a Big Fan of an has selected an made crosses with Green haze 19 and Purple haze 23 both reported to hold the Incense trait

Remember These are long flowering Haze heavy strains Ive suggested ,But the overall smoke is worth its weight in Gold an Yield can be surprising good on these mentioned .

Hey guys was wondering if anybody knows of any Hazes with an incense smell and taste,or perfume like,metallic in seed form.
If not a haze any starin in seed form that has these characteristics consistently, thanks.

Save your money dude. Been there done that. Nothing I can think of from any seedbank or vendor with anything that resembles the haze you're familiar with in NYC. Not even the terpene profiles. My experience with Neville's Haze was lemony black pepper nonsense. Big waste of my time and $. You might get lucky with m-riots offering but, the guy has a bad rep and his prices are a joke.
 
^ I still haven't seen any "hazes" that are exactly like any (taste and smell) "NYC haze" I have had as well, but all the ones mentioned are great strains in general . Moonshine Haze from rare dankness is another good Haze not mentioned yet.
 
I think you guys are correct that what I may find from seed will most likely not be anywhere near the same and only a slight similarity in taste might exist, I really don't think that the plants that the guys in the heights are working with are a really long flowering strain because it wouldn't make sense for them to grow a 15+ week strain for a commercial crop business wise, they wouldn't be able to produce that kind of volume that they need to supply they're customers who come from all over, but I could be wrong,
I remember taking cabs to Audubon and st. Nick from the late 90's and into the 2000's getting that haze with that crazy smell and taste, and at that time the Heights was really the only place you wou be able to come across that kind of smoke, most of the Haze from the outer boro's was pretender haze, but now I've also noticed that since the sour started really taking the city by storm in the late 2000's the quality of the Haze has gone down, I also noticed that around the same time that the term "Piff" was being used to describe the Hazes is right around the same time the quality of the Hazes started falling off.
I also think that they're is no way on earth that Matt Riot would be able to acquire a cut of this Haze because their is absolutely no way that the Dominicans are gonna let that cut out,and if somebody found a seed,which I really doubt,it wouldn't be the same

Hey BX, there was/is a member here who supposedly found a seed in some NYC Haze, or something like that, but dude never followed through with the thread (as far as I know). But still, some good info in there. Also, the "question for Sam about original haze" sticky at the top of this sub forum has a lot of good info too, so you should peep that if you haven't already. :)

Here's the thread on that NYC Haze seed (possibly): https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=90856

Hope that helps.

I can't disagree with ya here. For both haze and sour-d actually, and for the same reasons. Haze appeared in the heights in the 90's than around 2002 Sour D came out, Along wit overgrow and the whole internet growing community. This is what brought about all the knockoff haze we see being called piff. SourD was a bit harder to replicate because of its rancid stench but this is where the "sour" knock off's come into play as well.
As for Riot acquiring anything I don't believe he did. Just became friendly with the right person on the boards is all. Riot's source is a dog breeder who's handle is Doggystyle, who I believe is Dominican/Puerto Rican but that doesn't mean anything. I used to speak to him over at ******** and the farm a while back. Not a bad thing I can say as he seemed to know his stuff and had a passion for what he was doing. My cousins went off to meet with em last summer and purchased two pups. Last I've seen, both were healthy, big boned beefy necked bully pits, with arms/legs like soda cans! Crazy I guess but, just as advertised :blowbubbles:

I kno what the OP is looking for and I agree with most people here Nevs haze crosses work ..if u can get some of those chem sis x Nevs haze or Ecsd x Nevs haze ..Chaco made and sold by people under the stairs you'll find what your looking for ..most of the plants I grew had that smell and some had the hazey sweet taste ..and I think most are finished by 90 days ..there kinda cold resistant also so they do well in times like now ..Ive smoked some haze from the heights recently and they still carry that smell but the taste and aroma are nothing like back in the day ..the ones I grew actually were way better in the aroma and tast department but wasn't as potent
