This is the first of a series of reviews on my recent (and first) purchase from BigSkyBuds. Their Maui Waui listing convinced me to give them a shot, and I ended up with 6 of the 7 strains from their current menu.
TLDR - Aesthetics were great on all strains, and everything I've tried has been solid. The two strains for this review - Maui Waui and Grape Ape - have both been tasty smokes with good potency.

Comments:
This was my first order w/ BigSkyBuds and it won't be my last. I love the ability to mix/match, so I've created a lot of work for myself with 6 strains to review. I use the term "work" loosely. I think I'll survive. :)
Transaction was uneventful. Minimal communication needed to clarify rules on splitting strains (basically, no rules/limits), but response was prompt and helpful. Stealth was solid, maybe even deserving of a 10. Shipping was maybe a day slower than some, but still quick enough to keep most customers from flipping out.
Some would argue a rating of 9 for price/value when we're looking at a $315 ounce, but I believe the value comes from the ability to really sample the menu. It's maybe a little steep if you're only doing a single strain, but so far the quality has been excellent so even then I'd probably be ok with the price given the consistent quality. Weight was not particularly generous, though I've read it can be with this vendor and maybe that's more likely if you go with fewer strains.
All in all I'm really happy with how this worked out. This is a vendor I probably would have continued to skip over had they not been carrying a strain I had been searching for. Now they'll probably be one of the first places I look when I have an itch for something new.
Strain Summary:
Strain | Maui Waui - https://www.leafly.com/sativa/maui-waui |
Bud Size: | Medium size, medium density |
Smell: | A bit of floral, a bit of citrus, a bit sour |
Trim: | Well trimmed |
Trichomes: | A nice, slightly-sticky coating of 'em |
Seeds: | None |
Stems: | None |
Smoked: | This strain was a request from a friend - and I can see why! This is one of the best strains I've had - just a super mood-lifter. Happy without a shit-eating obvious grin. Smooth smoke - the taste that lingers in your mouth is this great blend of flavors. |
Vaped: | Vaping is also quite enjoyable with this bud, though I prefer smoking it. Vaping just removes some of the character from weed in my opinion, so I haven't enjoyed it as much lately. Effects are still strong and uplifting, so consume it however you please. |
Other: | Can't say enough good things about this strain - I truly enjoyed it. I almost didn't review it as I have this fear that there'll be a run on it and I won't be able to get more. |

Strain | Grape Ape - https://www.leafly.com/indica/grape-ape |
Bud Size: | Also medium density and size w/ a few smaller nugs. |
Smell: | I can pick out a bit of the 'grape' scent, but it doesn't smack you in the face. |
Trim: | Great |
Trichomes: | Nice layer gives a little glimmer when held to the light. |
Seeds: | None |
Stems: | None |
Smoked: | I liked everything about this bud except it could be just a touch more potent. That's partly a skewed view as I was using this as my before-bed smoke, and I like hitting the sack with a pretty heavy buzz. No big deal - just took an extra hit or two. Effects themselves are great - relaxed the body and mind. |
Vaped: | Haven't yet, and probably won't. |
Other: | I'd say this is a good buy for anyone looking for a solid, if unremarkable, indica strain. I'd buy it again. |

Disclosure
My intentions are to honestly review any product I receive, whether I paid for it or not, and my hope is these reviews will help buyers make informed decisions on which vendors and products they spend their money on. I will do my best to call out any part of any transaction that could compromise the integrity of a given review, and will provide as much information as possible while protecting the security of myself as a buyer as well as the vendor (and/or market).
Love your reviews breh. Thanks for all your hard "work". I've always wanted to try Maui Waui
