CATEGORY 03
Taste
This category evaluates the flavor profile out of 10 based on flavor notes, terp translation from nose, and overall intensity on the palate.
CATEGORY 06
Overall
This section covers my overall thoughts on the jar, why I picked it up, a brief overview of the brand, whether it checked all the boxes for me, if I’d buy it again, and the final averaged score from all five categories to give an overall rating.
How the Scoring Works
My reviews use a 10 point scale. Anything scoring 9 or above is considered “Seal of Excellence” quality, standout jars I’d confidently buy again with very few flaws. Ratings between 7 and 8 are still quality smoke, though not always memorable and questionable to grab again Anything 6 and below falls short in multiple categories and I would not grab again.
