Dude, I haven't been able to find a proper oldskool Rooibaard/Transkei bud for jeez almost a decade, every now and again i get something that looks kind of similiar at first glance & for a moment get hopefull of catching a whiff of sweet nostalgia but end up dissapointed everytime the vacuum seal is broken & that first aroma whiffs out its like nope, not a chance!
While it may look like the lost unicorn, but it turns out its just a donkey who rammed his head into the wall to try ton getbthe carrot infrtont of his face to stop moving and instead impaled it into his forehead and the unicorn was born.......LoL
On a serious note though, where can one find these oldskool beans, certainly can't find them online or have I just been blind and not looking in the right places?
Malawi is another haven't smoked in ages but if I'm honest dont miss it a single bit because while its a very enjoyable smoke with a heavy stone it should come with a warning because its guaranteed to turn you and your crew into a pack of rabid locusts on a mission to raid every cupboards in a 10m radius/eat 2x your bodyweight & possibly start a fight over the crunchy snacks
Seeing as you guys talking about jut I'll throw in my 2c, back in my day there were 2 kinds of jut - the worst of the worst was called Mpondo (nickname= tamatie blarre) sticks/stoppe cost like R2 but it was basically just leaves, stalks & at least 200 pitte - this mostly smoked by buttonkoppe not worth your time - then there's turi/turry skuif - quality can vary greatly but yeah is mostly lower grade that look similar to mpondo but tastes slightly better but essentially same thing, tons of light green seeds with heads always having more stalk then bud - I must also say though albeit only 2 or 3 times this same jut strain grown sensi, has gotten me pretty baked but nooit the strain in general is simply below par
Now the skunk vs Swazi matter, in cpt back in day skunk was always king, and fetched a slight premium but many people would just say that they got skunk but sell you swazi which is the reason why there is such an issue between smokers differentiating between the two because they believe what they smoked was 'skunk' and therefore always refer to it as 'skunk' but 50% of the time was a Swazi, because the differences between them are very subtke indeed a skunk - so basically unless you bought skunk and bag seperately (preferabky at the same place) anyone's who been to purple turtle and bought a bag of Swazi and a bag of skunk at the same time will know the difference and the only difference is flavour -- i actually remember a time where the terms were combined and was generally known as a 'swaziskunk' but I guess by today's standards calking that a skunk would be completely incorrect because now UK Skunk is the world skunk standard no? And one thing I can say for sure is that they miles apart, not blasting our version its just original UK skunk tastes amazing & entirely different strain - however its no secret that countless of the worlds best/strongest hybrids were bred with sativas whose origins can be traced back to RSA, because apparently our sativas are among the quickest growing/flowerimg, most potent and produce the highest yielding sativas (something to do with a 31st meridian line)
Trying out my first outdoor grow with bag seed (Swazi/TK cross) before forking out some $$$ for 3x Black Diamond, Glookies & Platinum GSC beans to test out this season. Planted very late (April)
