[Dual Cannabis Vendor Review] HonestHerb and NorthwestHarvest

Double review action. TL;DR: Both vendors are solid in quality, pricing, and service, however HonestHerb has the danker product. Lets jump in.

HonestHerb - Alphabay

Product: 1/2 oz of Headband ~ $120 + $10 shipping

Haven't seen too many reviews of this guy on reddit, but people in comments always wrote well of him so I gave him a shot.

Shipping: Domestic USA - Was hoping for 3 days, but I didn't receive it so it probably came in 4 or 5. Not complaining.

Communication: None really needed.

Stealth: MBB and vac sealing. Totally satisfactory for domestic shipping.

Weight: .5g over

Methods of Consumption: Bongs (Manifest Glass Works and HVY Glass), Joints (Element papers), and Vaporizer (Arizer Air)

Aesthetic: 9.4/10 - No shake and minimal stems. Nice full buds ranging from a 6.4g behemoth to 1.5g nugs. Definitely hairy as hell and trimmed nicely. Burnt umber hairs, dark and light green leaves, topped with little white kiefy snow patches. Colors could have been more vibrant.

Aroma: 9.4/10 - Diesel-y as hell. Great if that's the loud dank smell you are looking for. Definitely a nose turner.

Potency: 9.5/10 - Solid A grade stone. Even with a tolerance from dabbing recently, I felt a good bake with this stuff. Now I'm not one for names, but the Headband delivered on that warm "headband-y" feeling in my forehead - I got the warm relaxing body high, but was still thinking and jamming to tunes. Very pleasant high.

Price Value: 9.3/10 - This is definitely a solid price point for these buds. Very loud bud with great bag appeal. Not a steal as far as the DNMs go but I'm satisfied.

Overall: 9.4/10 - Very solid first transaction with HonestHerb. I'm more than happy with the bud and satisfied with the service.

NorthwestHarvest - Direct Deal

Product: 1/4 oz Pineapple Express and 1/4 oz Lemon Diesel ~ $120 + $7 shipping

Shipping: Domestic USA - Not really sure as I wasn't home. I'm sure it came in 3-5 days. Buds came pretty clumped together (as seen in a lot of the pictures) but it wasn't too bad - it seemed to be a tendency caused by the smaller nug size.

Communication: Answered my questions and confirmed the order promptly.

Stealth: MBB and vac sealing. Totally satisfactory for domestic shipping.

Weight: Definitely looked on point but I was using a different fucked up scale so I don't know the exact weight.

Methods of Consumption: Bong (Bio Glass), Joints (OCB and Raw papers), and Vaporizer (Pax 2)

- Pineapple Express -

Aesthetic: 9.1/10 - No shake and minimal stems. Lots of smaller buds - less than 1g. Vibrant redish hairs and bright greens. Nice little hairs on the buds. Great trim. Has a very soft touch to it. Doesn't look as dank as other stuff I have received.

Aroma: 9.4/10 - Can definitely catch a whiff of the fruity undertones. Slightly tropical and sweet smelling. Definitely like sticking my nose in the jar.

Potency: 8.6/10 - Honestly I'm disappointed with the potency. I don't think its my tolerance either. The Pax 2 is definitely not as good a vape for potency compared to other vapes in my opinion, but I feel like my stone should be stronger and last longer (at least from what I expect with cannabis from the DNMs). The high is a light airy sativa feeling. A nice feeling for sure, just weak.

- Lemon Diesel -

Aesthetic: 9.1/10 - About as good looking as the PE. Slightly bigger buds than the it. Vibrant colors - light green with yellowish hairs. Fluffy to the touch and well trimmed.

Aroma: 9.3/10 - Almost a bit zesty and tart in smell. Lemony and earthy undertones. Nice smelling stuff.

Potency: 8.8/10 - Slightly better potency with this strain than the PE, but still nothing impressive. Was hoping for a bit stronger. Similar sativa bake as the PE. Not bad stuff by any means.

Price Value: 8.4/10 - NWH's weed is ok at this price point. Its quite flavorful and fragrant, but with the potency lacking, I have to consume more so it's not as good a deal. They just lowered their prices - $90 for a half - so it's too bad I missed out on that because its definitely great at that price, although I didn't see the Lemon Diesel anymore.

Overall: 8.9/10 - This vendor has solid bud at solid prices. Its nice that he can easily mix and match any strains with any purchase. That being said I was disappointed with the potency of the weed compared to other cannabis I have received at the price point I paid.

Damn dog. You harsh. Those are some tasty looking buds. But you fair dog. Good review especially at those numbers for such a small amount. I bet his higher numbers get better.(if they are available)Still if they all have a good taste to match the other aesthetics.. Still, awesome review.
