This Pippen is hittin'!
I was blown away by the taste of this flower.
The taste is intense and never lets you forget that it is there.
Not too be a one-trick pony, the flavor has layers and is nuanced. Like a fine aged wine or bourbon, you can pick up different tasting notes on each session.
The flavor intensity reminds me of Peninsula Garden’s Sherb Pie, but even more pronounced.
It was also FRESH. This flower went from the testing facility to my grinder within a 2 week period.
This flower creates a Dream Team of what I’m looking for:
- Fresh as possible.
- Buds looked wonderful.
- Broke down perfectly.
- Had crazy umami taste.
This Pippen doesn’t have to live under Jordan’s shadow, this is:

Backpack Boyz with the alley-oop & Pippen with the slam dunk!
I bought this on a whim.
I thought the BackPack Boyz were just another Cali brand.
Being a sucker for basketball player strains, trying Gary Payton as well as Iverson 01’ from Viola, this caught my eye.
I’m glad I took the chance!
If you guys see this at your local dispensary, grab it!
It might be the MVP strain of the year.
Anyone grab this one yet?
Stay 😶🌫️
