like i said, a wild guess but i actually think i might be right on this one.

sounds extremely likely to me - good stuff

Same with "mangobiche" or " mango biche".Some say "biche" while others say "viche" jejej what a mess!!
The first time I saw the word "chiva" was in Sabbag´s novel "Snowblind"
It reads that when in the beach (sorry my english

) they smoked a big torch,a newspaper wrapping one oz? maybe more of "Chiva-Chiva" colombiana.
I also heard it´s some kind of brazilian herb....I don´t know,i´ve seen written as Cheeba and Chiba as well

Dammit, i learn so much everytime I read one of these BC threads, keep it up guys! Zam, that sounds like one hell of a rare heirloom, straight from the hands of the Paraguayan mafia, those guys must have some good stuff.

Actually BH, we won't be working with the chiba/chocolate sativa since its one of Luiz's lines and he isn't working with us anymore.

Well that's sad news... hope it's not his health...and that it's amicable.

No, His health is fine. He just wanted a different deal. I talked to him yesterday he got some new land to breed his lines in country and will be able devote more time to his lines than we could.

In Colombia ,up by Santa Marta in the mid 70's there was rumour of a strain called
Chiba Chiba....even then it was not a new strain and the talk was,even then,
of finding the "original " Chiba chiba.
They were apparently small budlets, denoting one of the furiously stretchy long flower time sativas.
Dats all i know.
