Scored Breakdown

🔍 Bag Appeal – 7/10
Mostly small buds, nicely frosted with vibrant greens and bright orange hairs. Would’ve liked some bigger nugs in the bag.

👃 Aroma – 7/10
Bag sniff isn’t as loud as some Carmel cultivars, but it still delivers cherry, cream, and gas. Dry pull intensifies with sweeter cherry and creamy gas tones.

👅 Flavour – 9/10
Opens with heavy cherry notes in the first pulls. By halfway, cream and gas become richer, creating a dessert-like profile. Strong translation from dry pull to smoke.

🔥 Burn Quality – 8/10
Even burns with a solid resin ring. Ash comes through salt-and-pepper grey.

💨 Smoke Quality / Mouthfeel – 8/10
Thick, rich, and silky smooth draws that coat the palate without harshness.

💥 Effects – 9/10
Starts off flavour-forward, then midway the effects hit heavy — slowed down, dialled out, and pleasantly stoned. Creeper-style, but strong.

💸 Value – 8/10
Good value for potency and flavour. Bag being small-heavy knocks it slightly, but overall, it's still worth it.

Final Score & Thoughts

🧠 Final Score: 8.3 / 10

Permanent Cherries shine with cherry-forward flavour that deepens into creamy gas mid-smoke. While the bag leaned small-heavy, the burn, effects, and unique dessert-like profile made up for it. A tasty, potent offering from Carmel that stands apart from typical Gelato-heavy cultivars.

Review Notes & Context

Sample conditions: Smoked via joint.
Testing protocol: Evaluated across dry pull, bag aroma, first five pulls, halfway mark, and full finish. Resin ring, ash colour, and mouthfeel observed.
Context: Carmel continues to deliver bold profiles, with this one standing out for keeping cherry notes upfront instead of being dominated by gas.
