An outstanding cut of an iconic strain that traces back to everything you know and love about cannabis
Once upon a time, a very different time about a half a century before legal dispensaries, people weren’t very picky about weed. You smoked whatever was available, and if you got your hands on a bundle of Maui Waui, you were probably on the West Coast, and you were one popular and lucky bastard.
We doubt that anybody reading this needs a history lesson, still it’s critical to recognize that Maui Waui is the benchmark for green that kicks down both sides of the sweet and sour aisle. While not every cultivar out there is a direct descendant, many strains worth smoking were likely inspired by either its chemical tinge or the famously citrusy chaser. All of which are popping with this particular pick …
We’ve had several contemporary cuts of Maui Maui, including others in the Massachusetts market, and Claravita’s is a trim above, a pot you can write poetry about and which surely inspired our prose herein. An uplifting motivator that isn’t too speedy (as the strain is classically known for), it’s the kind of head-expanding weed that loads behind your eyeballs and locks you in for the long haul.
Aesthetically, this MauWau is dense with sufficient squish. No shit, the nuggets make an actual noise, almost like you are biting an apple, when you burp them. Split open, the buds will reveal even more of the light green accents and orange clusters that give this one so much bag appeal.
Once inside the jar, you’ll start to catch aromas, but more awaits. Grind some up then spread your shred across the plate and you’ll discover multiple unique aromas in different pockets, just a couple inches from each other but distinct and mesmerizing one and all. It’s an experience that reflects the history and variance of this enduring favorite, which Claravita has paid proper homage to with its New England spin on a worthy old icon.
