Seb's take
Once a UK-only cutting passed hand to hand like contraband, Original Cheese is now available honestly, from seed, with the same pungent, skunky, nutty nose intact. The high is relaxed, sleepy and happy with a giggly, euphoric lift and hunger to match. A 35/65 sativa-indica split that finally lets everyone in on the secret.
Where it comes from
A Skunk phenotype, and a 35 percent sativa, 65 percent indica one at that. Original Cheese spent years available in the United Kingdom only, passed around as a cherished cutting hand to hand, never quite legitimate and all the more sought after for it. Herbies now offer her honestly, from seed, with the same smell and the same character intact. A cut that once travelled by reputation and trust alone, finally available to anyone who wants her, which rather spoils the mystique but improves the access.
Nose & flavour
The Cheese signature is unmistakable: pungent, skunky and sharp, with a nutty depth and a woody, earthy floor beneath. This is the aged, savoury register that gives the strain its name, not a fruit note in sight. It does not travel discreetly, and it was never meant to. A loud, distinctive nose that announces exactly what it is from across the room.
The high
Broad and good-natured, running hungry, relaxed and sleepy with a happy, euphoric, giggly lift threaded through. It settles the body while keeping the mood bright, and the appetite it brings is no small part of the appeal. An evening-leaning effect with plenty of cheer in it, the sort that suits a comfortable chair and something to eat within arm's reach.
Growing it
A feminized plant with genetics of 65 percent indica, 35 percent sativa, and THC of 17 to 19 percent, with CBD at 1 percent. She flowers in 56 days and returns a modest roughly 120 to 155 g/m², so this is a strain grown for character rather than tonnage. The record gives no height, so I will leave that be. What she offers is that legendary Cheese aroma from seed rather than from a borrowed clipping, which for many growers is the entire reason to run her.
