Unsurprisingly, strain reviews have become something that I look forward to. Most of the time I will arrive at work and one of my bosses will kindly propose a review of something delectable. This week, however, I couldn’t resist changing things up. After purchasing and enjoying an eighth of Cheese, I felt obligated to request a review.

A cross of Skunk #1 and Afghani Kush, Cheese represents a well-balanced and power-packed hybrid. Its appearance harkens back to the Kush side of the family, displaying towering plump buds that are elongated by its sativa side. Cheese sports a deeper, more lime green color, lacking the paleness that some strains engender through sheer trichome coverage. Although not quite as eye-catching as strains like Mk-Ultra or Jack Herer, Cheese should not be discounted for it has transformative taste and effect.

As soon as the bag is cracked you know it is Cheese. One of those strains that just reek, Cheese attacks your nose from all angles. Like many types of cannabis, the smell of Cheese has an almost indescribable complexity: piney notes that sting your nostrils; a deep fruity scent, almost on the verge of being spoiled; and an underlying skunk. All of these sensations combine into one multi-faceted perfume: Cheese.

After burying my nose in the bag, I can’t help but give it a real sampling. As ever I choose to roll one, finding a better appreciation of the overall taste from a joint. I find this batch to be very easy to grind and roll, something that I expect from high-grade medicine. The dry pull expands and enhances the fruity aspect of the herb, promising a quite enjoyable smoke. It doesn’t take long for me to locate my lighter and to no one’s surprise my efforts are rewarded with lip-smacking flavor.

Cheese’s effects correlate nicely with its lineage. I find it to be intensely psychoactive, offering a more uplifting and energetic experience than would normally be found in a Kush. That is not to say it is productive. Although it does not make me drowsy, it is difficult to function while medicated with Cheese – my mind is typically preoccupied. One of the things I value most about Cheese is its similarity in effect to Afghani Goo. Both strains make me inordinately happy, enough so to reduce a grown man to giggles. For this reason, I feel very comfortable suggesting Cheese to people who specifically suffer from mood disorders like depression.
