Definitely such a thing as too wet, look at this sour little raisin after a one-week ferment at 25-30C:

Excellent shots @Hombre del mont the colors are amazing and I can just imagine how nice they smellBuenas trades fellow cobbers!
For the 3rd morning on the trot Mrs DM has requested Mulanje x Malawi/Ethiopian! It's certainly her new favourite, despite being so young and lacking the longevity of a aged cob.
It's giving her focus and energy to spare; it really is like she's taken a stimulant!
And it's more euphoric than I first thought! Every day she said "the euphoria is coming on". Not as euphoric as the aged Panama but euphoric!
I took 300mg yesterday morning and had a very productive morning!
So, this morning I decided to take 250mg of the Zacateca tribute cob that was made at the end of October.
The smell and taste are out of this world!
In fact, I've just been to the jar to sniff it in an attempt to describe it; I'm getting very sweet pine and perhaps a little mint.
And to better describe the taste, I've just broken off a small piece to chew, ¿possibly about 250g. (That'll "bend me silly" for the rest of the day
Sweet pine and some spearmint.
After 5 mins of chewing it's now quite bitter but not unpleasant. The taste will improve as it ages.
The high it's very warm and sociable.
I've been out this morning to see my hairdresser, who just so happens to be one of my best friends in the village. It's his birthday tomorrow and for present I gave him 4 different small cobs.
I turned him onto cobs a year ago and like everyone, he loves them.
Besides being an awesome hairdresser, top bloke and one of the kindness, most generous men you could ever hope to meet, he just so happens to be a top class professional drummer who plays with local and international bands. He's played Glastonbury at least once to my knowledge.
All during my protracted illness/surgery/infection, he was there all the way on all my hospital/health centre visits, helping me with my poor Spanish and smoothing the way through officialdom with his genuinely charming manner.
The point to this being;
He has told me that if he gets high prior to playing, then it actually inhibits his playing. Once he's been playing a while then he's ok to smoke, but if he takes cob before he plays, it helps him get into the groove immediately and he plays like a man possessed!
The second dose of cob is coming on strong now!
This afternoon I took out my 4 original haze cobs after a month of being sealed up on top of my amplifier.

Unfortunately the picture has come out upside down and I'm not too sure how to rectify it. No worries!
The 2 one the left of the picture had 4 days drying before being cobbed and the 2 in the right 5 days.
You can see a colour difference just for the extra day. The starting material was very light and airy and quite dry, so i "sweated" at high temperatures and for quite long time to be sure to kick start them.
There was no sweat as buds were so dry going into the cob.
They've remained unsealed until today.
5 day dried

The smell is sweet with leather and maybe orange?, a little light mint?, I'm not the best at describing smells, but it's very appealing.
They're already developing a nice sheen and are quite sparkly. There's a nice hash tackiness you the touch.
They'll sit out in the ambient room temperature until tomorrow morning before being sealed up to age.
I might be tempted to sample just a little?
I've been very pleasantly surprised with taking samples of my other cobs at only one month old.
I think yes!, tomorrow morning I'll eat 250mg before I visit my friends for our Saturday morning coffee and a chat.
I think that's enough of my waffle for today. I'm so high and getting higher by the minute. This Zacateca is very euphoric and giggly! I feel quite silly!
❤
. I can't wait until I get to try the cobs that I have underway! Oh yes, I too appreciate the line "bend me silly" -classic!
Yes, when I read Taima-da's comment where he wrote that I was laughing out loud, literally! It was such a great line and I think we should keep that one going - as a signature/ tagline it's a winner!!
Thank you brother!
Beautiful stories yes the right cob makes everything creative and anything possible.Buenas trades fellow cobbers!

Spot on brother.Wow JustGrowing, that looks great, colour is fantastic!
Ringo, sometimes I leave everything on and clean before use but doesn't look as nice. Also be aware that those big stems hold a lot of moisture...
This is the stuff dreams are made of once aged its going to be trippy for sure brother.1 week after initial sweat and drying, sitting at 25-27c:
smells a completely different profile than the raw flowers, fermented and sweeter like cured meats, texture has become softer when you break up a small piece.
Sealed for another week, then check again.
Its nice to know there are so many peaceful caring people in the world chewing cobs brings us all together.Like begets like brother Tang. You’ve attracted all of them.
Peace

Same with big stems in cobs my friend. Great to dry them still on the stems though, slows down the process nicely.
