'Twas given me by a friend last night around a small outside fire. Pre-roll. This was before the snow.

Curio says this Rum Pie strain leans sativa but most of the references online classify it as a 60/40 indica. The genetics are intriguing: Mandarin Cookies x (I-95 x Chemdog).

Whenever I see Mandarin Cookies in a lineage I get interested. I went through an eighth of Mandarin Cookies earlier this year, a most enjoyable experience. It created that "baked" effect by which I am relaxed, curious, carefree, open. I have not seen straight-up Mandarin Cookies since but if I see it listed as a strain's parent I'll give that strain a try.

I also know I-95 x Chemdog—as a parent, not as a standalone strain. It's one of the parents of 91 Bacio, a Fig Farms creation. The Chemdog in this cross is ChemD. I-95 is Triangle Kush x (Legend OG x Stardawg IX2). It's the phenotype of Stardawg named after Corey Haim. Source: Seedfinder, link here.

I was always curious why it was named after Corey Haim. The best explanation I found is on the Greenpoint Seeds site. (Link here.). Top Dawg seeds created Stardawg. Greenpoint worked it further. They say the phenotype was named after the tragic child star because it is the "black sheep" of the Star Dawg family. As they put it, "The moniker suggests a strain that is 'too much for most to handle.'"

Anyway, this post is about Rum Pie so let's get this thing back on track! If you can't tell I am slowly becoming quite baked, my mind happily drifting from one curiosity to another.

This is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Five inches of wet snow fell early this morning. After a pleasant evening around the small bonfire last night, we awoke this morning into a totally transformed winter landscape—surreal.
