A great combination of aromatic strains that are distant in time and space. The original Cheese cut provides a stable branching pattern and fuses its intense fragrance with the rich, sugary hints from Cookies. The mix of these two fine genetics of aroma produces plants with extraordinary organoleptic qualities, which stand out even in gardens packed with different varieties. A candy with substance.
