[ANTHEMS] ANTHEM BOLD: BLACK CHERRY MADURO!
TL:DR Black Cherry Maduro is marvelous, and Anthem doesn't disappoint!
Black Cherry Maduro is an Indica infused pre-roll from Anthem Bold that is enhanced with THCA diamonds for increased potency and additionally terpenes for a more pronounced flavor. They come in glass and wood filtered tips, Black Cherry having the latter option, which has sugar ingrained in the wood to further elevate the taste, specifically of the fruit it's representing like the black cherries. The presentation of the pre-roll was top notch, it wasn't tight and didn't clog, which is a plus from anyone, and consistently burned at an even rate.
I was met with an overwhelming smell of cherries covered in dark chocolate and cherry cola, like Cherry Coke but richer and more refined. The Anthem lit up like a comet when sparked up, soaring evenly down the joint as we took toke after toke. Much like the smell, the taste is reminiscent of soda, cherries, chocolate, and sugary sweetness (perfect when paired with pop!). The high I got from it wasn't an overwhelmingly strong Indica, but a more lax and leisure smoke that kept my night a smooth, mellow slow-burn that capped off with mindful meditation and somber sleeping.
For an Indica, I'd definitely say this is on the more manageable side and should be a sweet smoke that's enjoyable and compliments your evening instead of a complete day-wrecker that locks you in for the night. As a fan of Anthems, I can say I'd buy it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice for Indica. I'd still prefer Berry Gelato/King Louie XIII for overwhelming strength but Black Cherry does a standout job at not being the heaviest hitter in the catalog, but is certainly one of the tastier options available from the fruit lineup.
Although Black Cherry Maduro has a dessert smell/taste the wood tip does a great job complimenting the entire profile and easily earns a 7.7 out of ten.
If you've tried it, how did you enjoy it? Don't forget to kick back, relax, and roll up!
