Shipping
It was marked as sent within the time-frame given on the vendor's profile. Took two days to travel almost from coast to coast.
Packaging
The stealth was great except for a bit of smell. When I popped open the main visual barrier I caught a subtle but distinct whiff of weed. Not strong enough that I'd suspect faulty packaging, but I'm going to let the vendor know when I go to finalize and leave feedback. But yeah, aside from that little issue I'd have no concerns about future orders. I wouldn't be worried about opening it up in front of others.
Weight
On point. A bit heavy but I'm too stoned to remember/guess how much.
Appearance
The buds are dense and firm, slathered in crystals, and as sticky as the name implies. None of the nugs are huge but there aren't any small ones either (the smaller ones in the pictures were broken up by myself).

Smokability
Easily the least-harsh smoke I've had in a long time. A couple bong rips had me coughing a bit, but I didn't feel any actual irritation. Even the coughs were smoother than normal.
High
Like I said above I took a couple decent-sized bong rips and they put me right where I want to be and then some. Got a nice energy boost, really upbeat and outgoing, focused. This bud is the cherry on top of a perfect Summer day spent with the homies. I can't stop tapping my foot because sitting in front of a PC monitor is the last thing I want to be doing right now.
Price Value
As is the case with Stratton, I'm paying more than I would locally for much better quality than I could get locally. 200 smackaroos for a half zip is steep, but in my opinion the quality and convenience make it worth it.
Parting Thoughts
This shit is bananas. Pricey but worth it if you don't live in a legal state. The smell mishap bugs me but doesn't really sketch me out because I can tell that real effort went into the stealth beyond just sealing it up and throwing it in an envelope. If it happens again I'll be trading quality for peace of mind, but I hope I don't have to.
So no MBB eh? That peace of mind is priority though. I'm surprised you paid for express. The total price was $225? No offense, but that's a bit overkill for a 1/2 oz. For $75 bucks more I would've gotten an oz from CultMadeline. Thanks for reviewing this vendor though, I've thought about trying him a few times.
