Exploring Violet Tourist’s Latest Pre-Roll Offerings

Introduction:

Violet Tourist has managed to be one of the consistently high-quality brands despite the challenges of overcoming producer shutdowns and issues throughout the supply chains in the various provincial systems.

 

After the closing of the Candre Cannabis facility in Sundre, Alberta, Violet Tourist has moved the brand over to the Freedom Cannabis facility in Nisku, Alberta. Maintaining the connection to my home province of Alberta and supporting our local growers are among the many reasons I am excited to try the newest products from Violet Tourist. Their recent pre-roll lineup releases continue to captivate consumers with various flavours, aromas, and effects. In this comprehensive review, we journeyed through four of Violet Tourist’s latest pre-rolled offerings, delving deep into their packaging, presentation, smoking experience, highs, and overall impressions. I am excited to break down this pre-roll lineup before showcasing the 510 Vape carts, Flower, and Terp Slush in future showcases.

 

Product #1:

Lilac Diesel – Violet Tourist Variety Pack 2 x 0.35 gram Pre-Rolls

THC: 28.5%,
CBD: 0.1%,
Terpenes: 2.11%

Packaging and Presentation:

Delving into Violet Tourist’s latest lineup, we first encounter the Lilac Diesel pre-roll, boasting a THC content of 28.5%, a mere trace of CBD at 0.1%, and a terpene profile of 2.11%. Packaged on April 8th, 2024, this offering arrives in a simple Mylar bag, lacking additional protective measures. Despite some minor flattening from storage, the joints are tightly packed, requiring only mild manicuring.

 

Smoke & Burn:

Lilac Diesel impresses with a clean burn upon ignition, leaving behind a satisfying white ash and an even resin ring. The draw is smooth, accompanied by a mild yet pleasant flavour journey dominated by earthy notes, subtly accented by floral undertones and a lingering hint of leather.

 

High & Experience:

Lilac Diesel delivers a light cerebral experience, gradually enveloping the mind before dissipating after approximately 30 minutes. While lacking significant body effects, this strain offers an excellent genetic combination with a long-lasting, body-focused high for a broader range of effects.

Product #2:

Peppermint Sherbert – Violet Tourist Variety Pack 2 x 0.35-gram Pre-Rolls

THC: 30.3%
CBD: 0.1%
Terpenes: 2.55%

Packaging and Presentation:

Next in line is the Peppermint Sherbert pre-roll, boasting a THC potency of 30.3%, minimal CBD content at 0.1%, and a terpene profile of 2.55%. Packaged alongside its variety pack counterpart on April 8th, 2024, this offering arrives in a familiar Mylar bag, with joints exhibiting slight flattening from storage.

 

Smoke & Burn:

A dry pull reveals a mild minty flavour, quickly giving way to earthy undertones upon combustion. Peppermint Sherbert burns smoothly, leaving behind salt and pepper ash and an even resin ring throughout the smoking experience. Overall, the flavour experience was lighter than expected but great for individuals seeking a smooth and light flavour profile during the day.

 

High & Experience:

Peppermint Sherbert offers a swift onset of cerebral effects, accompanied by gentle body relaxation. While the mental high dissipates quickly, it remains suitable for brief indulgence during leisurely activities.

 

Product #3:

Cool Mint Crush 2 x 0.35 gram Infused Pre-Rolls

THC: 48.7%
CBD: 0.1%
Terpenes: 1.57%


Packaging and Presentation:

Next is the Cool Mint Crush pre-roll, which boasts a remarkable THC potency of 48.7%, minimal CBD at 0.1%, and a terpene profile of 1.57%. Packaged on April 2nd, 2024, this offering arrives in a doob tube, though it lacks protection against the joint bouncing within the tube during transport. Minor damage to the joints I reviewed coincided with the lack of bounce prevention within the tubes. All potential issues were avoided after taking the time to manicure and work before sparking the joint.

 

Smoke & Burn:

Cool Mint Crush is overwhelmed by its minty and menthol-infused flavour profile from the doob tube opening to the first draw. Despite minor damage, the joint burns evenly, showcasing a heavy resin ring and consistent distribution.

 

High & Experience:

Cool Mint Crush delivers a heavy cerebral experience that may overwhelm some users. Lacking significant body effects, it envelops users in a heady fog, suitable for deep contemplation or relaxation.

 

Product #4:

Banana CK 2 x 0.35 gram Infused Pre-Rolls

THC: 33.2%
CBD: 0.1%
Terpenes: 2.57%

Packaging and Presentation:

Lastly, we explore the Banana CK pre-roll, featuring a THC potency of 33.2%, minimal CBD content at 0.1%, and a terpene profile of 2.57%. Packaged on April 5th, 2024, this offering emits a strong aroma reminiscent of baked goods upon opening its Mylar bag.

 

Smoke & Burn:

Banana CK delights with its smooth, even burn, rich flavour profile, akin to fresh green bananas. The joint offers a satisfying experience from start to finish, leaving behind a mild baked goods profile.

 

High & Experience:

Banana CK delivers a full-body high, complemented by mild cerebral effects, leaving users feeling energized and focused. Its pleasant distractibility makes it an ideal companion for morning activities or casual outings. While the body-focused effects are minor, your energetic relief is perfect for tackling that mid-afternoon task list.

 

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Violet Tourist’s latest pre-roll offerings showcase diverse strains with unique characteristics and effects. From the earthy sophistication of Lilac Diesel to the potent intensity of Cool Mint Crush, there’s something for every cannabis enthusiast. While packaging and presentation could be improved to ensure product integrity, these products’ smoking experience and highs are commendable. Whether you’re seeking a subtle indulgence or a powerful escape, Violet Tourist’s pre-rolls are worth exploring for their quality and variety.
