Grower: Humble Gardens Farms

Rating: 4.6

The following diary entry is shared to provide insight into my personal use of cannabis to alleviate a series of medical and health issues.

The Keeper is a bud I am keen on, so I was excited to see Humble Gardens take their (very capable) hand to it. Their iteration is a superb combination of sandalwood, spice, and vanilla, with mixed citrus and berry fruit-candy sweetness riding alongside a pine note that leans pungent. On the smoke, the flavor leans heavily into the spice and sweet sandalwood, with a firm touch of that same pine. The candy-citrus fruitiness is present, but itโ€™s more of a supporting noteโ€”an accent that keeps the profile bright while the wood and spice do the heavy lifting. Itโ€™s layered, clear and true, and absolutely delicious.

The high is feel-good euphoria right out of the gate, with a spark of energy that quickly dissolves into sensual relaxationโ€”while creativity and productivity stay online. It finishes with a genuine sleepiness.

I highly recommend Humble Gardensโ€™ The Keeper to all consumers. Iโ€™m a huge fan of this cultivar and feel lucky to have tried it from three excellent growersโ€”each iteration has its own special charmโ€”but I am particularly drawn to the sandalwood-forward character of this one. As mentioned earlier, this is a feel good bud which is appropriate for all consumers.
