PIFF STIXS
BERMUDA ROSIN Pop the jar and you’ll find a sand-colored, playdough-like substance. But this flaky rock of rosin offers up a chunky, chalky consistency that breaks apart for easy scooping and slips right into the banger. It smells of sour cheese with faint floral notes – a profile that follows through from nose to smoke. 69.95% THC | 0.19% CBD piffstixs.com | @piffstixs | Review by Amanda Day @terpodactyl_media

GARY PAYTON ROSIN A puddle of rosin rests in this juicy jar, glossy and glistening with terps. The savory flavor is just waiting to show you its peppery pizazz as a relaxing dose of caryophyllene complements the pungent profile with each lift of the lid. Following through until the end, it clings to the palate like you forgot to say “stop” when the waiter was spinning the mill. 73.11% THC | 0.16% CBD | 11.44% Terpenes The Y x Snowman | focusnorthgardens.com | @focusnorthgardens Review by Amanda Day @terpodactyl_media

FOCUS NORTH
TROPICAL SORBET FRESH PRESS ROSIN Opening a jar of Kalya is like staring deep into the quantum realm. This Tropical Sorbet smells like expensive suntan lotion and the flavor is a strong Papaya that’s peppered at the edges and ends with something light and hard to immediately put your taste buds on. Welcome to Oregon, we’re glad you’re here. 74.58% THC | 0.21% CBD | 8.03% Terpenes (Papaya x Mimosa) x ZT Wilson Cultivated by Tuxedo Llama | kalyaextracts.com @kalya.oregon | @tuxedo_llama

STRAWBERRY GUAVA 6-STAR WPFF LIVE ROSIN Smells like a fruitcake that’s been soaked in booze and left out to dry. The taste is an overwhelming, almost confusing expression – like a bag of candy mysteriously labeled “fruit flavored.” Whole plant fresh frozen is an arena where Oregon tends to shine and this is another example of that excellence – which Sand Castle calls a six-star example. 66% THC 0.1% CBD | 6.38% Terpenes | sandcastlehash.com | @sandcastlehashco
BONSAI
OBAMA 90μ LIVE ROSIN Coming in beautifully redesigned packaging, Bonsai outdid themselves with rosin that’s floral, doughy and a little bit funky, with the color of white peach nectar. This brand uses exclusive AI technology to help them grow strains for their single-source concentrates. The 90μ Obama is an amazing rosin that carries a beautiful floral scent when it’s heated up. 69.69% THC 0.04% CBD | 8.42% Terpenes | bonsaioregon.com | @bonsaisolventless2.0 @bonsai.farms | Review by Matt Jackson @actionmattjackson
