The Cosmic Queen sits atop my shoulder whispering dainty things as I write this smoke review, classic WuTang in the background and my space filled with the sweet exhaust from the chillum.
Top Tier Family Growers provides us with Cosmic Queen flowers, bred very well from Mephisto Genetics. Presented as a sativa dominant hybrid of Space Dawg crossed with Chemdogging f5, the near-endless genetic lineage of this plant is fully complimented by the diverse taste and high. I can only imagine with a dozen or so seeds planted out of this variety the phenotypic expression could be very impressive, what a fucking roller coaster! I'll start with listing some of the players in this pen; Skunk #1, Super Skunk, Cinderella99, Snowdawg, Jack Herer, Haze, Chemdawg. Many generations of breeders went in to this cross, Cosmic Queen takes the nod from it's heritage and runs with it.
As for the rubber meeting the road? She is an excellent ride! And to highlight the premise that individual's experiences are as wide and varied as the indiviuals themselves, my first impression with smoking CQ was that it was indica dominant! After 3-4 rounds with her I decided to dig into the lineage and was pleasantly surprised to find her being sativa dominant. As with many things your sativa/indica mileage may vary, and though my preference being loftily lodged in the sativa realm I can say CQ has a complex, uplifting effect regardless of her parents and grandparents.
With flame near the tip of my chillum, I pull gently until ignition. Right off the top I get rotten fruit sitting on top a muffin or sourdough slice, skunk is faint but there.....but not only that, there's also hint of strong plasticy fuel? Yes! The fuel/skunk/food tastes mix together into something reminding me of dark fruity pipe tobacco that had your dad's aftershave dropped on it. Do not dismay! This is a most excellent thing! Cosmic Queen is either schizophrenic or a chameleon, the taste profile seems to change over the duration of a round of smoke regardless the size of the round, even for the larger sherlock bowls she gives compleXXXity! The previous 2 sessions I spent with her? I had 2yr old gas sitting in a can in a shed in the back taste that fully had me smitten with her. Many times I find myself really looking for tastes and smells on the slight taboo side, even for the fuel lovers; soap, plastic, old people potpourri odors, band aids, chemical solvents..........rarely do you get these smells being over-dominant, so when they poke through to add that little Uhmph, it's just damn dandy. The sweet taboo, with hints of fuel and skunk. Yes! Buds are nice and dense, the smell being reminiscent of fruity candy with pungent skunk underlying it.
And the high? The smoke is quite smooth, after a large sherlock bowl of going hard at it, then finishing it off, the throat was good and I had minimal coughing after heroic hits. Right off the top of the pull a Vision Acuity System Check happens and you know you just moved laterally 3 inches and didn't twitch a muscle, the sativa is noticeable right away but seems to just front run the whole show, announce itself, then step back behind the entourage. A nice healthy uptick in heart rate and pressure, but still moderate. After a few minutes the sativa kickoff leads to a very well balanced, uplifting, equanimous climb along a path of well-being, giggles and good old-fashioned stony. The myriad of aches and pains lurking around my body take a ciesta. The plateau is where I really feel the indica, after your climb you dip back down a few thousand feet then cruise along a long flight path of an alert, mind-friendly indica stone. The body is quite content wherever you place it but the mind is ready to engage. Wonderful. At the taper I feel like CQ drops you like a dirty overnight date, BOOM! Like out of nowhere, she just goes away w/o warning or even a kiss. Personally, I like those kind of girls. Right? It's a perfect opportunity to introduce yourself to another, post haste. She smokes great and true to the last pull, the last fading hit sweeter than the rest.
