Maybe that might have no concern, but i get couples cut of the "Montreal candy jack"
I was expecting a skunky smell, but no! They are in veg, and even when light goes off. I can smell it, lovely incense smell who remind me a bit of catholic church! (don't hang much there these days)

Uptown Haze?
Uptown Haze?
As far as I know any time I've bought haze from an uptown source it must have a specific scent. I have been reading these forums for years like weirdo and decided to finally jump in to help the piff cause. I'm no grower but a true lover and my life resolves around having the best possible desired strain in my possession at all times, it's been 15 years high straight lol. Now for one to say they have haze, piff, puday, uptown or church it simply either is or isn't based off that distinct basement incense frankincense swamp forest piss gas smell, but it's that frankincense note that is in distinguishable. I rarely noticed the topic of teaxutre but every time I get a good uptown source the piff always has a very consistent feel. Recently I've seen extremely wispy and super duper fluffy buds covered in long redishbbrown & white blondish hairs. This haze is so fluffy, to break it up you can just sprinkle it between your fingers, super incense piff frank smell love her! This strain leaves tons of keef and hairs behind after break up & is the one I'm currently smoking to date. Another haze strain I have seen about 2 months ago was less incensey with a slight skunk, the plant was more stick to ur fingers and denser but still fluffy compared to the standards strains in circulation. The plants that come from uptown are so well keep, they aren't always perfectly manicured but they are always grown properly. Both of these have great highs, infinity uplifting. You can take a couple pulls and be functional or smoke a full Dutch or joint or vape bags and get really lost in ur head. Sadly haze was put to the side when the mainstream blew up over sour in the mid 2000s. The sour was fire and was so loud that people switched up, plus haze an in the know type weed and is a hassle to get (for most people). Now being a seasoned smoker that loves to read made me get back to older smokes like haze bc now I know of its origins and inceptions thanks to all you guys. If the average smoker knew they would only look for haze bc it's so much cheaper than it should be for what goes into the creation of top shelf piff, it's so cheap today and it's always on point if you know the right person. I know there's talks on how haze was better earlier in NYC around the millennium but I feel it's very close today. Only reason I can say this in confidence is because the weed must have that haze smell to even be called haze in my book no substitutes or exceptions, like big herb says if you ain't smoking incense it's nonsense. After reading dozens of posts all over multiple forum sites, reading every seedbanks descriptions, googling haze keywords for days like a posted stalker, exhausting leafy & smoking this dope daily... the real question I have is what is the deal with uptown and how the haze game really works (who are the gods whom make this potion like clockwork) & if an old timer smoked today's haze would it be reminiscent of those days back in Cali in the 70s like the stories say? My reasearch leads me to these beliefs and questions. Best way to solve this debacle is to all meet up and smoke together and compare & share.
PS- all I used to smoke was haze back in the early 2000s before sour came around, I have always went back to haze because she was my first exotic. The haze that comes from NYC must be some very experienced operation bc it's always very consistently the same for over a decade! I'm curious to see if it's this black haze that's coming from Florida, what's the texture of that bud... How does it feel and break up?

Personally I have never had the privilege to have a farm to table type experience when sampling strains bc of logistics here in ny, so I couldn't say. But there's a standard to the hazers of uptown and all over whom know what to look for, that unmistakable frankincense twang. i could only speak on the uptown haze and I would be unable to compare bc I have never had old timers or O haze, that's the question though.

im starting to think what you guys are talking about has got to be bagseed haze. but not the terminology that gets associated with the name bagseed. good find
It is a bagseed haze... in a way, only thing is that the frankincense Piff twang will always be in the bag. Whomever controls the bags uptown has good standards bc it's very consistent. I wish there was a way to find out what the genetics are bc there is no other weed out here in NY that smells like church. The strains or cuts vary bc the buds are always a little diff throughout the year, right now it's whispy and tropical with a swampy church bag smell, and more of a musty Piff taste on burn.
I just wish I had more haze experience outside of NYC because this haze is never sweet and only frankincense swampy smelling, but other areas of the world think haze should taste sweet... But based off my research early hazes are the opposite.
This is why I came to a place where there are enthusiast to research further. The weed that's called haze here, that the streets and myself consider haze must smell/taste like Piff or it's not haze. What are tell tale signs of the early hazes that are closer to pure genetics, something that resembles the earliest of haze smokes in the US?
What's the standard to Haze?
