Buddha Belly - Flannel Boyz Review

 

Review: Buddha Belly by Flannel Boyz

Buddha Belly is an indica-dominant strain from Flannel Boyz, created by crossing Jelly Bean and Bubba Kush. From Bubba, it carries that classic heavy body relaxation and earthy gas, while Jelly Bean adds a touch of sweetness and fruit to keep things balanced. The terpene profile — led by myrcene, pinene, and linalool — sets the stage for a calming, pine-forward experience layered with richness.





Presentation & First Impressions

Flannel Boyz’s packaging is premium without being overdesigned. Made of sturdy, heavy paper, it feels professional and intentional, signaling care without unnecessary flash. Inside, the flower speaks for itself. Buddha Belly comes as large, sticky buds with average density, the kind that will leave resin on your fingertips just from handling. The trim is tight and professional, removing excess sugar leaf while preserving natural structure. Visually, it’s striking — deep purple hues with green highlights, frosty white trichomes, and subtle pistils that fade into the background compared to the vibrant purple tips. Each eighth arrives with a Boveda humidity pack, which ensures the flower stays fresh all the way to your grinder — a detail that’s easy to overlook but makes a big difference.

Aroma, Flavor & Smoke

The nose on Buddha Belly is layered and bold. At first whiff, there’s pine and subtle sweetness, quickly followed by a strong wave of diesel gas that dominates in the best way. Breaking open a nug intensifies everything, with the gassy edge turning sharper, almost hash-like. When smoked, the flavor captures the full complexity of the aroma. Inhale brings the rounded richness of pine, sweetness, and gas, while the exhale highlights that fresh pine note for a crisp finish. The cure is excellent — smooth to smoke, with even burn and clean white ash.

Effects & Experience

Buddha Belly doesn’t take long to make its presence known. The onset is immediate and heavy, hitting both body and head with an unmistakable indica weight. It’s stoney, euphoric, and grounding, the kind of strain that eases you into the couch without asking permission. Behind the eyes, there’s a relaxing heaviness, while the body settles into a comfortable, brick-like calm. The effects lasted around an hour and a half, making it ideal for evenings, winding down after work, soothing aches, or simply indulging in a classic couch-lock session. Don’t be surprised if you lose track of time — I found myself halfway through a movie still wearing my shoes.

Value & Verdict

Priced at $30 for an eighth or $100 for a half ounce directly from Flannel Boyz, Buddha Belly is fairly positioned for premium flower. Between its sticky, frosty buds, layered gas-and-pine aroma, smooth smoke, and potent indica effects, it checks every box for consumers who value craft-quality cannabis.

Numeric Ratings

Appearance: 8.9

Aroma: 9.8

Flavor: 9.7

Effects: 9.0

Value: 8.9

Final Take: Buddha Belly is a top-shelf indica through and through — complex on the nose, flavorful in the smoke, and powerful in its effects. It’s best suited for more experienced consumers who enjoy heavy indicas and want a flower that feels as premium as it looks.

This strain was provided by Flannel Boyz for review purposes. These are my honest thoughts — no paid opinions, just a genuine look at what came in the jar. You can check out Buddha Belly and other strains at flannelboyz.com.

Blue Lobster (Living Soil Cut) - Sherlock's Glass and Dispensary THCa Review

Image
  Blue Lobster – Sherlock Glass and Dispensary Hybrid | Living Soil Grown | 3.5g Sample Sponsored Review Product Overview      Blue Lobster makes a loud first impression. The buds come in a deep green with streaks of dark purple, buried under a heavy layer of frost that only reveals the full color when you break them open. Medium-sized nugs with a dense, sticky structure let you know immediately this is premium, living-soil-grown flower. The cure sits right in that perfect middle ground — firm enough to snap, sticky enough to cling to your fingers. Aroma & Flavor Experience      The nose hits with a rich blueberry–grape punch softened by an underlying gas note, and once the buds are broken down, a cool minty layer appears that gives the profile depth. The taste is surprisingly faithful to the aroma — something that doesn’t always happen with fruit-heavy strains. Expect a blend of grape, blueberry, plum, and a smooth gas finish that keeps ev...

Farm To Med Review: "Blueberries"

Image
    Blueberries! Imagine breaking open a beautiful round nug while being met with a medley of subtle fruit smells and light gassy notes. This offering from Farm To Med is a bag appeal monster with noticeably well developed trichomes! Its large nug structure and varying shades of green with orange hairs made Blueberries a must try for me. It's a huge added bonus that this flower is not shipped in but is instead grown fresh here in Tennessee! This strain advertises as a hybrid 50/50 yet I personally feel that it leans more towards the indica side.      My first impression of this strain was how well developed the trichomes are, even with the naked eye you can see hundreds of fully bulbed trich's covering the nugs from tip to stem. I also noticed in my review that the smell on this strain is very unique, offering a fruity/sweet scent that is distinctive to a handful of fruity strains I have tested, something to try for sure. This cut of blueberries was a dry brittl...

Snapdragon Review - Dark Matter

Image
       Dark Matter      This strain is quickly rocketing to the top of my favorites list. Dark Matter , from Snapdragon Hemp , is a unique cross between Cherry Thunderfuck and Rusty Haze —two distinct genetics that come together beautifully in this cut.      A hybrid that leans indica, Dark Matter owes much of its relaxing effect to a heavy dose of myrcene —a terpene often linked to that classic “couch-lock” sensation.      Crack open the jar, stir a bit, and you're greeted with an out-of-this-world nose: sharp, gassy cherries that hit you right away. It’s a wild and wonderful terpene combo that sets the tone before you even reach for your torch.     Myrcene!           What really sets Dark Matter apart is its terpene profile—especially its high myrcene content . Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis and is known for its musky, earthy aroma and deeply...
