House Brand Showcase: Hikei

By: Shagwhelin “Shaggy” Bullock

Hikei Introduction

Last time I tried Hikei it was a Rainbow Sherbert, and the structure was nice and the high solid, however the smoke wasn’t as smooth and felt dry.
Well they have definitely improved!
The Garlic Gum Drop was fantastic. It had the punch I love with just a little sweetness for everyone to enjoy. I think more popular among consumers would be the Kick Rocks, however I think my old school stoners will love the Garlic Gum Drop.
Some of these strains are close but with the price of 14g being almost the same as lights out and jungle boys 1/8ths its a no brainer that they are the best overall!

Overall HiKei Takeaway

HiKei not only delivered, it elevated. Between the deep-earth punch of Garlic Gum Drop and the smooth, euphoric calm of Kick Rocks, these feel like perfected cutting room selections. I believe that its just slightly behind lightouts in the effect and just behind Jungle boys in taste however its very miniscule difference. I think combined with the quantity you get for the price it pushes it to the top In my book right now.
