What A Lovely Thing
I was sent some Super Boof and other bits to test from Cannabis Cannibals as they wanted my opinion on the orangeness of the boof before listing it. I'm really down with the concept of being an orange approver. Like I should have an orange stamp or something.
So I thought I'd write up my day and share it with you nice folk on LB as I was very excited by it all.
Packing and Delivery
Starting with the basics, all these buds were carefully sealed without squashing and were placed in sensible multilayered packaging. Everything arrived in perfect condition and was neatly print labelled. This was all spot on.
Super Boof
This weed is badly named. If it was named Super Dank Orange I'd likely have tried it already.
Why The Name?
I googled it as I had to know why. Apparently it was originally named Blockberry and was changed by a grower who found it amusing to call it Super Boof (with the meaning of low quality weed - not 'that' Boof - hence why it is ironically funny. Or was funny to them at least). Bloody stoners. I swear none of us can be trusted to take anything seriously.
The Promise of Orange
Immediately, in the grinder, the orange smell is teasing me. Even at this point I'd bet a pound against a penny that this is going to be a lovely orange bud.
And orange is exactly what is fully delivered in the smoke. Bloody hell it's a nice orange bud. It's got a rich dank complex deep orange note lined with citrus. It's not lemony citrus but a much deeper and a multi-layered, thick, fruit note with a deliciously orange inhale and more complex flavour as you breathe out that reminds me of sweet twangs of diesel.
True Orange Buzz
The strength is there too and delivered in true orange fashion. You get a relatively mild and intriguing buzz while smoking then a short while after the rest of it catches up with a much heavier hit.
Orange Fans
I honestly cannot imagine any orange fan ordering this and being disappointed in anything other than the name. I've just rolled a second to confirm my thoughts and I'm even more sure that this is a supremely nice orange bud. It may even be the orangest bud available on LB right now. Maybe.
Genetics
The Super Boof is a mixture of Black Cherry Punch and Tropicana Cookies. The latter is mildly orange as cookies tends to dominate the flavour in my experience. I've not had the black cherry so can't comment on how punchy it is. This cross though is distinctly orange.
Orange is Always a Winner
I note the Super Boof has won a few accolades including Leafly Strain of the Year 2024 so perhaps there are more orange flavours are on the way than I'd realised - not least because the word Boof doesn't make me think of something that smells like orange.
I guess I don't really care what costume the orange bud wears, I'm just glad to see the flavour sneak back into the mainstream
Conclusion
I'll be buying some Super Boof and actively seeking it out for the foreseeable future. This is the orange bud I've been looking for.
[Note - Since first writing this I have ordered some Super Boof from CC. Most of what they had left in fact. I fully put my money where my mouth is. I believe the bud is being restocked this weekend but prerolls are available - check the link. Message CC to secure your bit.]
Next We Have Tangerine Dream
After all that excitement comes the Tangerine Dream. This is a mixture of g13 haze, Nevilles Haze and Afghani so it doesn't have any actual orange bud genetics despite hinting at such with its name.
Arguably, everything we smoke is essentially derived from about 10 or 15 original landraces so pretty much everything is linked somewhere along the chain.
But, back to my point, the Super Boof is parentally linked to my hallowed orange bud but the Tangerine Dream isn't. By name alone this is difficult to tell but I assure you that it's true.
Haze Fans
If however you're a haze fan, particularly a g13 haze fan, then I suspect you'll absolutely, completely love this.
It is a citrusy and fruity taste and it is far better balanced than a pure g13 but it's that end of the flavour spectrum from its parents. It's also pretty strong in effect like a g13.
Head Haze
The effects are more typical of a haze than any orange bud too as it's head-hazy and hits fast. I know some creatives love this about haze. It's not a flighty buzz like a pure g13 where I'd feel like manically doing a hundred things at once for twenty eight seconds before hiding in a dark corner and hoping no one notices me. It's much more enjoyable than that but definitely a cerebral high.
Conclusion
So I guess that's my ultimate conclusion. It's a really nice, high-end, well balanced, haze. Much more user-friendly to smoke and flavourful than a lemon or a g13 but still at the hazey end of the smoking world.
It'd make more sense to have called it Tangerine Haze. Yes this is the second strain I've tried to rename in this topic. I make no promises about number three.
Finally the Pineapple Runtz
In the grinder I can smell the pineapple immediately and that's the taste delivered upon sparklng up too. It's less sourly complex than an orange bud which will likely mean some people will prefer it. It's a sweeter fruit note but still zesty and not so much of the weed-candy sweetshop flavouring the runtz name suggests.
The stone is easy going and is delivered gently while smoking then develops into a nicely balanced high that carries on lifting after you stub. It demands very little from you.
It's a really nice, enjoyable smoke. If you like real fruit flavours but don't put orange buds at the top of your list then this is likely a bit of you. It's just very easy to smoke. I don't feel the need to rename this one either.
So To Conclude
To wrap up what turned into a much more extensive piece than I'd intended to write - the Super Boof is a fantastic orange strain, the Tangerine Dream is more hazy and the Pineapple Runtz is an easy fruit stoner. It's also been a great day and I'm really quite stoned.
Thanks
Thanks as always for reading my topic. I hope it was informative and if not I hope it was entertaining in some way.
Have you tried the Super Boof? Orange fans - I swear you'll love it. If not let me know why.
