Mmmm... Mimosa Punch
Orange Fetish

It's no secret that I have a wee thing for orange flavours and also for Green Cat. So when GC added a Mimosa Punch to the menu I was all over it. What a perfect combination of vendor and product. I'll probably be smoking it all month now as I bought extra.

So what's it like?

Mmmmm... It's bloody lovely and orange that's what it's like. It's got a very old school orange flavour. There's hints of other vintage strains in the smell. It's almost a bit northern lights, a hint of skunk, but mostly it's a lovely deep citrus orange.

Stamp of Approval

It gets my orange stamp of approval. It smokes lovely and is definitely very pleasantly orange. The main stone is nicely delayed and kicks in late. It's not a massively heavy hitter but it's getting me pretty stoned so I imagine it'll work out for many other LB folks. I've just hammered two fatties on the bounce and have a little face sweat and will be super happy to eat dinner soon.

Genetics

Mimosa Punch is a cross of Mimosa and Orange Punch. Basically it's double orange and I suppose double punch too as Mimosa has purple punch parentage. Both strains have a link back the original old orange bud. It's the perfect orange storm.

I Reckon You'll Like It

In short, if you like a bit of orange then jump on the GC train and get yourself some Mimosa Punch. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Orange fans may also like the Forbidden Fruit too which I have bought too but I've not smoked yet as I'm Mimosaring my way through the evening.

Thanks for Reading

As always thanks for reading, I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way. Are you an orange fan too? Get involved in the comments section and let me know.

Evening BigRoo, As someone who has never tried orange strains, How would you say the stone is? I've had a couple of bits from GC before and have all been absolutely top notch, I may order the Mimosa Punch next.
+1
BigRoo
Generally a good orange bud stone will be a fairly gentle hit to start but with a much more solid but delayed follow up hit. So you have a bit of a high first but then a heavier stone sneaks up and kicks in. That's the sign of good orange genes. The Mimosa Punch is a really decent stone but not a massively heavy hitter. I've got several strains at the min and am only smoking the mimosa though. I've got a melonade I've not even opened. That says a lot.

Shetlad123
I am vaping away on the Melonade right now, I rate it highly (though I don't carry much weight around here), And I'd be very interested to hear your opinion on it. Though I am new I have read most of your reviews and have been toking a little while now before I found LB.
+1
BigRoo
I'll dig a bit out tomorrow and have it as my first one. My review now would just be "it's not orange" as I've already started on the Mimosa.

Thanks for reading my stuff man. No one's opinion is more important than anyone else's though. Our cannabis consumption is a personal thing and I'm sure we all have our unique needs. You're the best judge of your own needs so your opinion is just as valid as mine. You may also find there are more people like you here than me. So your opinion has every chance of speaking to more people than I do. Your voice likely has more weight than you realise.

A good example is that I haven't vaped any of this weed. And quite often you'll find things that smoke well don't always vape so well - and vice versa. So even within the remit of this chat you have some knowledge I don't (yet). This places you as the vape expert within this conversation.

Hey BigRoo, you have got me very tempted to try this one. I would love to buy enough to press some and get some orange rosin but I spent all my coin on hash again.💚
+1
BigRoo
Now that'd be an interesting product to smoke. Be a pricey one to make though.

I wish I needed to restock! Still got lots of Skywalker og and pink certz, didn't have that in stock when I purchased.
+1
BigRoo
Skywalker OG is one of my favourites when you get the really blue tasting versions. I had pink certz smalls which was probably the best bargain bit I've had on LB. Really lovely smoke that.

Honestly I'm over stocked at min as I ordered twice in just a few days - and I've not got the money for the druids new crop which I'd probably have dived into. I guess life is all about choices.
+2
flowerfiend123
Lol. Yes mines quite blue it's very nice, very strong flavor in the vape. The pink certz is very candy like. I've just bought 3 live resin vapes so don't need more bud 😅

I'm not familiar with the druid, who's this?
+3
BigRoo
The druids are a small grower that produce really old school natural buds with tons of flavour once per season. Their latest batch went live and sold a couple of strains out straight away. I'm not surprised. It's really nice weed - and very different to the commercially grown furry pebbles we're more used to. I've not had any of this recent lot so can't say how it is but I expect it's lovely. Worth keeping on your radar. Linked to their profile.

flowerfiend123
Thank you! Know what you mean about furry pebbles. I love a pungent flavoursome flower that's got nice structure not like a rock. Just checked out druid and looks like they have nice bud for sale now.
+3
BigRoo
Snap it up while it's there if you've got the coins. So long as you're expecting a more wispy natural grow with lots of old school flavour notes I think you'll be happy with it. I can see why they sell out fast as it's a lot different to most commercial buds here - aside from a few other small growers - so is a standout product. Damn it I want some too now...

I thought you'd like it mate....wish I'd bought more !

BigRoo
I've over spent early though so am committed to an orange month. I've got last bit of jungle juice, forbidden fruit and double helping of mimosa. The druids are due a new crop sometime soon so will be a shame if I miss out through cash flow thoughtlessness.
+2
acezero68
I'm with you on the cash flow front , I'm smoking shake at the mo...all my good buds gone on gardening chores this weekend and the coin man says no more til payday too. I,ve got about an ounce to go through and I just looked st GCs menu and i have just enough coin to get an oz of his Skywalker trim. Gonna be a lean couple of weeks.
Druids look like they've got a couple of nice bits coming through...fingers crossed til.payday

Looked at Druids again last night and couldn't resist trying Wham Boom...so the trims out the window now!

After reading this topic I jumped in on the Wham Boom too. Never had driuds stuff before. Can't wait. Thanks guys.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm jealous.

BigRoo
Damnit.... Everyone has the druids weed but me. Might have to scrape it together for an order. Let us know how you get on with it.
+2
acezero68
Will do .. i changed my mind on the 7g of wham.boom and went 3.5 wham boom and 3.5 fosters ...the other strain they had on ..they got some frozen black cherry coming through soon
+2
BigRoo
Good choice. I'd have done exactly the same. Might wait til the black cherry. I'll mull it over later and make a decision.
+2
acezero68
I'll let you know how it goes
There were no reviews on these two strains so might be around a little while
+2
BigRoo
Thanks mate. I'll be interested to know. The druids stuff doesn't usually hang around for long though.

acezero68
Well the druids landed today, I must say it's impeccable service from these guys...when I message to change my order I had an immediate reply. Never had that happen on LB before.
The bud, they really do stink, both have a skunky edge to the smell. I've only tried the Foster so far...so glad I changed my order! Sticky icky buds, light in weight and take a bit of grinding coz of the stickiness..smells so good tho...even though I think that grinding buds knocks the flavour/ taste ..a discussion for another day that. Still it tastes divine, and a quick draw on the blunt before lighting takes you back 30 odd years , beautiful taste. Smokes and burns clean,no harshness at all . The high hits fairly quick In the eyes but the head takes a little longer but it keeps coming and coming....I has my first blunt around lunchtime, 12ish...had another about 2ish and still felt stoned when I had tea at 6 ish ..never touched anything else til after tea. Bloody lovely.
If you can, grab some mate ...you won't regret it.
Wham boom tomorrow 👍

That's the druids experience! Top vendor. I felt just the same when I got my first order. Took me back to early Dam days.

Always a pleasure reading your posts. As an Orange terp fan myself, it's nice to have confirmation when there is something tasty on the wall.

The last Mim punch I had, was from MJConcentrates. It was spectacular and something I will go out of my way to experience again.

Much appreciated
+2
BigRoo
Thanks man for your kind words. I had the mimosa punch from MJ too which was lovely. This is a bit different to that, the buds don't have those dark little leafy bits like on the MJ version so it's not as pretty. But it's a stinky old school flavoured double orange bud to smoke for sure. Price is cheap too.
