Cannabis Now\u2019s staff writer Jimi Devine, known for having \u201cthe woods with the goods,\u201d gives his top five strains to smoke in a Backwoods.<\/h4>\n
\n

F<\/span>or over a year, Cannabis Now\u2019s editorial team has been conducting bimonthly experiments, searching for the best strains possible to smoke in the classic, flavored Backwoods blunt wraps.<\/p>\n

Many of the world\u2019s best cultivators and strains have featured in this process, including Gelato straight from Mr. Sherbinski himself and the 3rd Gen Fam\u2019s Roz\u00e9 that took second at the Breeder\u2019s Cup during the recent Emerald Cup<\/a>. Throughout the tasting experiment, the most common Backwoods flavor used was the Honey Backwoods, but on occasion, the staff was able to acquire some elusive Russian Creams.<\/p>\n

Through the perilous journey, many a pretender was whittled away, but in the end, every contender that passed the team\u2019s test was a winner. Here are the top five strains to smoke in a Backwoods, in no particular order. And of course, because tobacco is a carcinogen, blunts should be smoked in moderation.<\/p>\n

1) Purple Punch<\/h4>\n

\nEven the worst Purple Punch on the market right now is practically top-shelf. The strain provides an elite experience of flavor with a heavy body high. In a world that has heard declarations such as \u201cthere won\u2019t be good purple in the age of testing,\u201d Supernova Gardens\u2019<\/a> marquee strain destroys such concepts. Nothing has filled the void of Purple Kush quite like Purple Punch. The best cuts have a slight fuel-laced aroma over the grape smell produced by the myrcene content. When these flavors come together, they both shine through in the Backwoods, creating a one-of-a-kind experience.<\/p>\n

2) GG4<\/h4>\n

The copyright-free version of this strain is so sticky that the world of corporate duct tape took offense. GG4 also took first prize in Cannabis Now\u2019s 2017 Mini-Cup<\/a> at the National Cannabis Industry Association, a competition which included some Cannabis Now staffers judging exclusively in Backwoods. This resinous strain can quickly become one of the trickier to roll, especially if you\u2019re trying to roll a cannon. While the leaf of the Backwoods is sturdier than a paper, GG4 can be so sticky it\u2019ll cause the leaf to stick to your thumb and tear. This is an emotionally taxing process, so we recommend using a grinder if it looks like your pot might be that sticky and awesome.<\/p>\n

3) WIFI OG<\/h4>\n

\nDon\u2019t get us wrong, we love pure gas and fuel \u2014 or however you want to describe that smell that goes beyond a certain \u201cchemyness\u201d and attacks deep into the sinuses. But there is something a little extra when a strain has that kushy scratch to it. Sour Diesel is fantastic and Chem 91 changes lives, but elite WIFI cuts are something to behold too! This full-bodied high won\u2019t put you down, and if you enjoy it wrapped up in a woods, while smoking it at a leisurely pace with friends, you\u2019re guaranteed to have a great time.<\/p>\n

4) Zkittlez<\/h4>\n

\nWhen it comes to unique terpene profiles, Zkittelz<\/a> has a seat at the big kids\u2019 table. In recent years, it has saturated itself into the hearts and minds of the world\u2019s biggest enthusiasts via contest wins and folklore. Now that the strain has been out a few years, we\u2019re even starting to see its fantastic second generation. We encountered some fantastic Blue Zkittlez out of the hills of Mendocino<\/a> this past harvest, and the Watermelon Zkittlez that Alien Labs dropped at Emerald Cup was also a big standout. While the other items on the list may slice through the tobacco flavor a bit more, the Zkittlez flavor in a woods comes together in a more subtle and delicate way.<\/p>\n

5) Blueberry Cookies<\/h4>\n

\nThe first batch of Blueberry Cookies to ever hit our radar was Kyle Kushman\u2019s offering at Chalice in 2017<\/a>. As we made our way from booth to booth, jar to jar on a hunt for the best strains of Chalice, we quickly scooped a quarter of this killer cut. Kushman would go on to win the San Francisco Chronicle\/GreenState\u2019s Cultivator of The Year award, against stiff competition. In essence, a blunt full of Blueberry Cookies is going to be magical.<\/p>\n
