That burnt chocolate flavor. It’s distinct. There was some in Cresco’s Pineapple Punch as well, which makes sense considering Pineapple Express is one of the parent strains of Pineapple Punch (the other is Durban).

There is a chocolate exhaust chewiness. Tootsie Roll? Not quite. The only way I can explain it is not quite to explain it—it escapes me. It’s not generic.

I’ve had Cresco’s Pineapple Express three times now. This is the third eighth, I mean. Chocolate-dipped fresh tennis ball. That smell you get right when you crack a fresh tube of tennis balls.

The Pineapple Express Open, a tennis tournament where everyone plays high. Tagline: Let’s Just See What Happens.

The lineage of Pineapple Express is Hawaiian x Trainwreck. Hence the name. I am happy to try any strain derived either from Hawaiian or Trainwreck...

Pineapple Punch by Cresco

I am nearly through the jar. What began as an eighth is now down to what will go into three final joints, each about .4 grams.

I opened the jar almost three weeks ago but the remaining flower still smells funky and pleasant. There is a fruity aroma but there's also a sharp dankness that is reminiscent of what you would catch wafting out of a tennis ball container—rubber and gasoline. The grind has been exceptionally even. Sticky. A little dense.

The dispensary menu showed a photo of a green Cresco container for this Pineapple Punch but when I picked it up, the man behind the counter pulled a red-topped container from the bag. Sativa? Yes, I'd call it sativa leaning. 65/35. That is one characteristic of the Pineapple Punch strain that makes it somewhat uncommon: it delivers sativa effects without first taking the smoker through anything too racy or confrontational. I was smoking this flower within a couple weeks of putting the late great Hugo to sleep, and if ever there was something that a strong sativa was going to throw at me, force me to deliberate upon (further) it would be that. Except with Pineapple Punch it was a clear sail. ..
