I adjusted the review template, because in my opinion, the most important factors are stealth and quality. These should each make up half of the final score calculation. I chose to give qualitative feedback for the other stuff. The Aesthetics, Transaction, Vendor, and Drug categories are redundant, in my opinion, so I took them out. Consider this my vote to streamline the current template which would allow us to more effectively evaluate vendors. EDIT: Credit goes to /u/entactoBob for the original review template.

BudsNRoses is a fabulous new vendor. I was surprised by the fast shipping, great stealth, and dank quality. This shake is great for budget smoking. Doesn't everyone grind their weed anyway? If you don't, consider the fact that you can buy an ounce of this shake and a beautiful Santa Cruz Shredder for less than even the cheapest ounce of buds on Agora.
Picture: Remember, this is shake, not nugs. It's not pretty, but it smokes great and can be used in edibles, for vaping, etc. Link to picture (sorry for the poor image quality... the True OG Kush pics are better).

To be honest, after all of the good things I've heard about ogbryan, I am shocked that this isn't a perfect score. After receiving the product, I immediately noticed the lack of MBB. Huge red flag for a weed vendor (ogbryan later explained that he uses MBB for QPs and above). This wouldn't bother me if the smell didn't completely overpower my room after opening the first layer (there were only two vacuum seals). I've had vendors use only vacuum sealed bags before, but these had 4 or 5 layers and I didn't ever smell anything until opening the last one. It's terrifying to imagine what could have happened if the smell leaked past the second layer.
The weight was slightly under, which is more of an annoyance to me rather than a major issue. Just about 0.1g short.
The product is great, but I had to knock off 1 point for the value. It is almost indistinguishable from my 4-month-old product from WeedNation, which was only $250 IIRC. Both vendors sell dense, frosty, dank weed. In the end, I think ogbryan would be a great choice if you are looking for QPs and above. You'll get MBB and I doubt he would short a big order. His communication was solid enough that I am eying his 'good for the price' QP.
OG Kush Picture Faceoff:
ogbryan's True OG on left, WeedNation's Platinum OG on right
Round 1: Low exposure for bud definition -- Perfect form! Calling this one a tie.
Round 2: High exposure for quality and color -- Also too close to call. Tie.
. . .
EDIT: I should add that BudsNRoses' product is not better than ogbryan's. I took into account that one was advertised as "great shake" and the other as "fucking awesome weed, better than anything you've ever seen."
EDIT 2: Can a mod remove "[Vendor Review]" from the default review title? With flair, it's redundant to have both.
Heh, for the shake the weight was "on point" but for the og kush you were missing a "point" (0.1g)
