** Keep in mind throughout this review that this was the bottom of the jar of the Exquisite SLH, so the buds aren't a fair representation of the original batch. **
A common question I see, especially with CultMadeline, is what's the difference between the vendor's listings/grades. Specifically, the question is often asked - is the extra $40 between the "Exquisite" and "Infinity" grades worth it?
The only person who can actually answer that is you, but hopefully with this review you'll be able to better decide for yourself.
TLDR - Two orders of Super Lemon Haze in the past few months. One ounce @ $300, the other @ $340. Both excellent. $340 is slightly denser, stickier, and more potent. IMO, yeah, probably $10/quarter better.

TOTAL SCORE (100): | [94 ] |
[97 ] |
Comments: I reviewed the Exquisite Super Lemon Haze a couple months ago. You'll see the score is different here - 3 points lower. I adjust the Price/Value because as much as I think this stuff is worth its price, I do agree that if you hunt
around you can find similar quality for cheaper. I'd rather spend more to get the sure thing and use my time otherwise, but that's my preference. Anyway - 8's instead of 10's. Second, I added wrong in the previous review. So that's
the other point.
Moving on, SLH was recently listed in their 'Infinity' class, and I loved the previous batch, so I had to try it. I'm never surprised when I receive a pack from CultMadeline - I know it's good stuff. That doesn't make it any less
impressive each time I cut through that final layer, lay eyes on the buds, and get that first whiff. The SLH, of course, did not disappoint.
For whatever reason Lucy just updated the price on it and knocked it down to the $300 price for the same quality. Awesome deal IMO - they must have a pretty good supply of this stuff.
I've done a little comparison table below in the strain summary instead of separating them as usual. If it formats properly, that is.
Strain Summary/Comparison:
Listing | "Exquisite" ($300/oz) | "Infinity" ($340/oz) |
Bud Size: | Mainly Small-Medium buds. Airy/Fluffy and soft. | Medium-sized buds, similarly constructed but just a bit denser and stickier. |
Smell: | VERY lemon-y, even before grinding. | Still very lemon-y, but the 'dank' smell of the buds is stronger in this one. |
Trim: | Pretty good, esp. for looser buds | Clean - close to perfect |
Trichomes: | Very good coverage | Hard to tell, but just a bit frostier |
Seeds: | none | none |
Stems: | minimal (pics show the last of this SLH) | minimal |
Smoking/Vaping these gave the same experience - nice citrus taste on the inhale that lingers long after your hit. It's a shame when/if you have to get the smell off your breath. Yes, everything with the Infinity batch is just turned
up from 10 to 11... but I'd smoke either of them any day.

Additional Notes/Pictures:
I had this review written, and since it's a comparison between the different classes I'm posting it. I probably won't be doing many CultMadeline reviews in the future - their reputation is well established by now. You'll probably see
some of their stuff pop up in other reviews for comparison, and I may post some to one of the forums. We'll see. Anyway... a few extra pics, Infinity, again, on the right:
Disclosure
My intentions are to honestly review any product I receive, whether I paid for it or not, and my hope is these reviews will help buyers make informed decisions on which vendors and products they spend their money on. I will do my best
to call out any part of any transaction that could compromise the integrity of a given review, and will provide as much information as possible while protecting the security of myself as a buyer as well as the vendor (and/or market).
