Repost from the original thread:

Finally received my sample from califinest! Here is my review:

Received promptly via first-class mail. I do have some MAJOR qualms with the packaging. Sample or not, I do not think it was acceptable. No return address, handwritten address, and over-postage. Separately these would not be so big of a deal, but together I was concerned. I feel this package could EASILY be picked out, which is the exact OPPOSITE of what we want. Double sealed and a color barrier on the inside was satisfactory. Now to better things. The bud was slightly flattened due to postal handling, nothing too serious. The buds are VERY dark green with golden sticky crystals. Nice brick-orange to brown hairs, which are extremely thick. Smell is not extremely strong, but very pleasing. Hint of tropical citrus. Slightly on the sticky-tacky side they tend to clog up my grinder so hippy picking is preferred. Breaking it up reveals even more of the tropical undertones. Yummy. I stuck a small nug into the bong and took a couple of hits, tastes like the smell and goes down very smooth. Burns VERY well. Much better than what I've seen lately on the road, just wish the prices were a bit lower.

Seriously though, need to get those packaging issues fixed brother! Check out the sellers guide on the main site, or ask around. Printed labels are preferred, and a VALID but undeliverable return address is the standard!


Thanks for the sampe cali! I'm glad to see you have already worked out your packing issues and your prices suit the quality.

poor packaging. poor product.  this is no where near medical pot or triple A pot. this is some straight up commercial beast. dark dark green pot. SUPER HARSH, no taste. and the high is is more from u coughing from the harshness and getting lightheaded then the actual pot. learn to review marijuana products ppl, not everything thats green and smokes is good. especially when a vendor is claiming high quality.

that is weird rosenthal, i make sure my meds are up to Cali standards as i have lived there most of my life. sorry you are unsatisfied, just dont get from me again, everyone else seems to be loving it. possible troll or competing vendor? idk , you were one of the buyers i chose with barley any stats, i guess that was my fault. ;)

Figured i'd quote tritton as he addressed most of my issues. If you haven't already invest in a label maker, handwritten packages are much more suspicious. Also one vacuum seal is not enough, maybe for a sample but i just want to make sure when you ship 3.5+ you need to double to triple vacuum seal. Small shipping issues like this are expected in new vendors as long as they are addressed there is nothing to worry about. This bud is very potent. I'm a daily smoker, and after 1.5 bowls i'm stoned as hell! The weed tastes like grapefruit, very delicious. It's a strong body high, not overwhelming but very relaxing. This bud may be expensive but it is TOP shelf. It looks like cali is already on top of the shipping issues. Looks like another promising vendor just joined the SR community! ;) Looking forward to future business with you cali. =)

okay so all 11 samples have made it guys!!!! lets get this orders going! i got some master kush sugar leaf in 140$ oz.!! qreat price for what it is. doesnt have too much of a smell, but is covered in trichromes and actually gets you high. Great for rolling up or even cooking edibles!

Post by: ppass on July 24, 2012, 01:11 am
Other than a few issues with packaging which I do believe the vendor is rectifying everything else was great. The herb itself is fantastic, smells and tastes rather sour. Bit of a fresh lawn mowed smell, gas and grass. Nice trim job too by the way. :D 
If pricing drops a bit and packaging is fixed I could seeing working this new vendor.

-Cheers and appreciated the nice sample.

Post by: gtrmonkey on July 25, 2012, 09:41 am
Well I guyes I finish with my sample just now and here is my review.

Vendor: Pretty good, quick on getting things shipped, let me know when it was shipped. Pretty chill guy.

Packaging: Really dont need to go into much detail. It was subpar. But it got to me. And reading the thread it looks like he is correcting this issue. I would recommend a double vac with an air pocket.

Weed. I recieved a sample of the Sweet and sour Haze, and first off it got a great smell. The buds them selfs look great too, very sticky. I took some pics, Will upload them tommorrw. Over all had very good bag appeal. Now the taste, its there but not overwhelmingly strong. Pretty much had a smooth toke, with a hint of a sour taste after the draw. Which I found very pleasent. Potency, Lets put it this way, my friend Passed out as soon as he went his house, Probably was due to the heat(100 degrees out). But it was funny as fuck. Major couchlock High was lasted 2-3hours. Great relaxing weed. And just chillin around the house stuff. If your in for potency then a 9.  I really say, Awesome product.

Overall I give my vendor Experience 9/10. Definitely going to order from again. Just fix your packaging. Anyway will update with pics

$450 for an ounce is expensive on the east coast idk how that's reasonable in cali. Maybe you should consider lowing the prices a little so more people will buy. The cannabis is amazing, but there is no bud worth $450 for an Ounce. Hopefully you consider changing things up because your bud is amazing. I feel bad to see you give away all those samples and get no customers But why would i buy it when i can get the same exact quality for $280-320 on here? If you are really growing this you would still be making a killing at $300 an Ounce and you would get A LOT of customers. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do.

Just picked up an ounce from another vendor today. Maybe in a week i'll get a quarter or try some BHO wax. How much wax do you smoke at a time? I've never had the pleasure of smoking it. =) $55 for an eighth of AAA bud is reasonable, i guarantee you'll get customers. Just be patient it may take a little bit for you to start gaining popularity. At these prices you look like a promising vendor though =).
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: Califinest on September 10, 2012, 07:52 pm
Thanks Jello! i smoke about .05-.1 of wax at a time, but that is due to a pretty large tolerance, i think someone that doesn't have much tolerance to wax, could smoke about .03 and get blasted.

I'll give you a shot Califinest :)  Just gotta wait until my wife gets home so we can figure out which strain we want.

She has some pretty chronic back pain.  Any suggestions on which of the Plat. Bubba or Agent Orange would be best for that?
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: Califinest on September 13, 2012, 07:18 am
sorry or late response.. plat bubb would def be the best for that. we grow it for people with terminal illneses, as it is high is CBD , very good pain med, very good for insomnia, and loss of appetite. :) But in all honesty i like agent orange more, due to the taste and high it give me , very uplifting and buzzy. good for pain too

were running low on our meds atm, we will restock with new danks in the next 1-2 days . thanks :)
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: jhancock1984 on September 13, 2012, 07:04 pm
Yeah, I went with the orange.  The Plat Bubba looked good but also looked like the last bag we smoked so wanted to get something different for the sake of variety.

I'll drop a review in here once I get a chance to try it :)
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: Califinest on September 14, 2012, 05:04 pm
 Thanks Jhan!! YOull love the orange, everyone does!

we are almsot out of stock, only have about a oz left in total!! will be reupping hopefully today , if not tomorrow...


also have a very limited quanity of jack herrer wax, get this while you can its FIRE, way better than the last batch of blue dream..
after it is gone itll be gone, but we will have different strains of wax in a few days... :)
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: jhancock1984 on September 16, 2012, 01:12 am
Ordered a quarter of Agent Orange about four days ago.  Package showed up today and so far I'm very happy with the purchase.

The packaging was nice and stealthy, double or triple vaaced (wife opened it so I didn't count).  Labeling was also nice, professional, and stealthy :)  So whatever packaging issues Califinest had in the past are resolved.

The herb itself is nice and dense, some compression from the sealing but not overly compressed in my opinion.  A few stems left on a few of the buds but not a big deal overall.

As to the smoke, the Agent Orange is super skunky and a bit on the harsh side.  I took one medium sized hit off my pipe and nearly started coughing from it.  But it also gave me a really nice energetic high that lasted quite awhile and when I did come down I didn't feel tired (something I commonly feel when I smoke).  I may have to try vapping some of this to cut down on the harshness but otherwise I'm really happy.

Great herb at a great price :)  Assuming he can maintain these prices and service I'll be using him again in the future for sure.

Hey Califinest. I just found your 1/2 oz Blue Dream listing and I am excited as fuck. A sativa dominant strain for under 10 BTC? The perfect listing for me, hands down. As soon as my BTC shows up in SR I am gonna order some.

I am new, so as per your profile I will FE early and what not. That makes me nervous, but your reviews and communication with everyone seems excellent.

I will post back in here again with a review in the future!
Title: Re: Official Review Thread for Vendor "Califinest"
Post by: coolkid321 on September 24, 2012, 04:11 am
hey CF. im also getting oz of the blue dream to try out.I didnt see anything on your page about newbs not being able to order so hopefully my order isnt cancelled like CALIFORNIABUDDY did. Now Im out 50 bucks or so for an order that never happened.

If everything works out and this is some decent stuff then yo uwill have a dedicated buyer for as long as you stay here. thanks man.

btw im gonna FE early cuz im sure you will reward me if I do.  ;D

Post by: BMaverick on October 01, 2012, 09:12 pm
If anyone is thinking about ordering from this guy and peering through the pages of this review thread, do it.

My order arrived not even a week after I ordered. Not only was he communicative about my order, he was apologetic that he did not have time to ship it the DAY I ordered.

I don't have a scale, or else I would verify the fact that, because he felt bad, he shipped me an overweight order. Califinest is a great businessman, and can probably be found balling at the half court in a top hat and a monocle.
