These tins and stickers are available to buy on eBay. I'd assume most of you guys knew that just putting it out there

Lol. I don't get to see the weed I buy anyway in the black bag it comes wrapped in! All depends on whether you have a trusted source or not don't it!macky wrote: Sun 9th Dec 2018 12:53 pm Kind of defeates the purpose of seeing what your buying ,not like anyone would scam ya!![]()
Sorry that probably came off the wrong way. But in Dam and I suspect to large extent (re: more so) in the UK there is a lot of people packing or repacking tins with subpar product. I think it's a bit of both. I think the true "brands" (i.e. licensed producers with distribution in licensed outlets) are often gutted a refilled with either nice UK-grown, or mid-grade Cali, wheres the fake brands cough* Shitscotti Boys* just fill with subpar Cali-weed, I'll elaborate on that below though - I digress for now.avfc-herbalist wrote: Sun 9th Dec 2018 10:10 amCounterfeit in what way mate? UK growers filling the tins and pretending to be Cali import? Americans just sending over random weed in tins?DeLekkersteNUGS16 wrote: Wed 5th Dec 2018 02:18 pm It's certainly not outside of the realm of possibility that some of the import could be sent out from other legal-states. But honestly the actual packs and tins are all more suspect. I usually write off tins as counterfeit on principle, I only know a of few "legit" brands (I use the term very loosely) that actually use tins over in the US. I think it's a marketing gimmick that was overblown by unsavory UK importers to peddle commercially-grown local weed at exorbitant import prices. Never understood the desire to package one's weed like cat food.
Off the top of my head only Orange Tree can I think of as a one of the tuna-tin packers, and that guys is a proper egotistical grimey muppet, seems like a whole lot of the "industry" players utterly detest him and his "Greasy used car-salesman" tactics at marketing. Don't get me started on the fake unregistered brands like Biscotti Boys and Big Smokey tins, what a buncha clown shoes those crews are, especially the fucking Biscotti Boys, a circle-jerk of ego and delusion that crew is.
But I reckon there's maybe a few more brands that do it, but I can assure you tins are much more common on this side of the pond than over in the land of the free.
The marketing gimmick of the tins is something that I quite enjoy. The anticipation of pulling back that lid to see what nugs are waiting for you inside is quite an exciting part of it lol. This is honestly some of the best weed I've ever smoked, I've also tried Space Monkey Meds GG #4 and Birthday Cake and they were both lovely lovely smokes too.
The other tins or packs that are around that I haven't tried are West Coast Cure (tin), Diamond Cut Exotics (tin), Biscotti Boys (tin)(your favourite people), Cookies California (pack), Paris Cannabis Co (pack) and Billy Kimber (pack).
For a once in a while smoke I'm happy to the price I am![]()

Granted the SMM you posted looked quite nice, though they were the first tins I ever saw sometime back, and when my mate popped a few he had purchased in front of me they were underwhelming to say the least. Though I have no doubts on looks alone what you posted above is much better than what I saw that day.
Back to the clown gangsters: The Biscotti Boyz aren't a real registered brand with integrated supply chain, they're not sold in US dispensaries, ask about them in Cali and people will look at you with a quizzical "dafuq" look, nobody's ever heard of them, despite what their VH1 hip-hop reality show reject-contestant leader "Mr.KaliBudz" likes to scream out on social-media. What I suspect is they buy a bunch of Cali commercial mid grade which sadly is pretty much top-shelf and some, by most European standards, pack it in tins and come up with some gimmicky copycat name of other flavor of the week designer strains and ship it over to the EU & UK for the muppets to feast. Even Big Smokey is more legit than the Shitscotti Boys - and that's saying something
Anyway I prefer to buy my Cali "loose" so I can pre-inspect it; and again based on how well I know my guy and the fact I've had direct insight into the import process without going into further detail, I know it's 100% legit Cali (at least in the sense of geographic origin).


Hahaha nice one that! At least you see I wasn't being a total twat in that last response (just 85% twattery reached). I'm sure this shit happens back in the States too, but again I think with states like OR, WA and CO taking a substantial chunk of the intra-US MOM market, it may not be to the same level it is over here.avfc-herbalist wrote: Thu 13th Dec 2018 08:21 amTalking about counterfeiting Nugs check the new UK branch of Jungle BoysDeLekkersteNUGS16 wrote: Sun 9th Dec 2018 05:28 pm Sorry that probably came off the wrong way.

No not at all mate, you were just stating your stance and I'm glad you have because from what you have said about biscotti boys it's helped me to make up my mind not to purchase their tins!DeLekkersteNUGS16 wrote: Thu 13th Dec 2018 11:37 am Hahaha nice one that!

Can't take the credit tbh, the new wave of ACD members have an intelligence level never before seen on ACD, thank Ohmf for bringing it to our attention.
