Appearance
The jar opened up to a nice safety seal that had to be peeled off before getting to the flower, which was a nice touch to help prevent tampering while also keeping the flower fresh. Once peeled back, it revealed some visually appealing flower with around six nugs total, consisting of two smaller nugs and four medium sized ones. The nugs were mostly green with traces of purple throughout and were absolutely covered in trichomes, giving them a very frosty appearance. There were also plenty of orange pistils spread throughout the flower as well. The flower itself was also extremely sticky to the touch, and when breaking it down I’d definitely recommend using gloves unless you want your fingers covered in sticky trichomes.
The jar packaging was nice, coming in a small black jar with a plastic lid that featured both a top sticker and a wraparound label. The top sticker had an embossed finish with a deep blue colorway, with The Firm’s logo with the skyline and their name underneath, with a bright blue jellyfish sat in the center.. The wraparound sticker carried over that same blue theme and featured jellyfish throughout the design. It also included the jar’s name, “Pi Chew #1” along with additional information such as the genetics and collaborators.
Aroma
The aroma on this one wasn’t very loud, but it had a nice smell to it. It had a light sweet, doughy earthy profile with a subtle hint of gas layered in the background. The aroma was nice and clean, but it didn’t really come across as anything particularly unique or standout in terms of complexity or loudness.
Taste
The flavor on this translated decently from the nose and kept that rather faint profile, bringing over those light sweet earthy doughy notes with a bit of gas tucked in there. It wasn’t super mouth coating or overly flavorful, but it still had a smooth nice terp profile that stayed consistent throughout doink.
Burn/Smoothness
The burn was solid. As soon as I lit it, a nice resin ring formed around the doink and lasted through most of the smoke. The ash burned more on the salt side than pepper, giving it a fairly clean look overall. The flower also smoked very smooth and clean with little to no harshness or discomfort throughout the session which I enjoyed.
Effects
The effects were nice and delivered a rather potent high that slowly creeps in over time, gradually settling into a very relaxing experience with anniversary body high that I personally enjoyed. It wasn’t an heavy hitter that’ll take you out but it delivers some nice mellow effects.
Overall
This was some solid flower from The Firm x Ronin Seeds x Hash Tribe x LA Kush Klinic. This was interesting as it was a four way collab not sure how everyone falls into play but I know that the strain is bred by Ronin Seeds and grown by The Firm. The reason I got this jar is because I haven't had anything from this brand since the earlier batches of Toad Venom in those orange and blue jars which were really nice and a friend thought I'd enjoyed the Pi Chew #1 so I figured why not give it a try.
The Firm is the in house brand for Kush Klinic, a California based delivery service. The Firm has built a solid reputation for cultivating fire genetics like Toad Venom which is one of the most sought out strains right now.
I would say this jar checked all the boxes overall with no real complaints. I do wish the terp profile was a bit more pronounced on the nose and translated with more flavor on the taste, but outside of that it was enjoyable smoke.
I thought this jar was solid overall, but it wasn’t anything too special, especially when factoring in the high price point. For that reason, I wouldn’t run this batch back, but I would definitely be interested in trying different phenos of the Pi Chew along with some other genetics from The Firm in general as it smoked smooth and rather clean which i enjoyed. Shoutout to The Firm x Kush Klinic x Hash Tribe x Ronin for putting this one together.
