I’ve tried Meigs County flower here and there, including some of their popular cuts like Swampwater Fumez and Strawberry Guava. I’ve always been impressed. Everybody always talks about how Meigs County is among their favorite cultivators, so I decided to try a tenth of Truffaloha.

The southern Ohio county known as Meigs County has been famous for growing great cannabis since the 80’s. In modern times, Agri-Med Ohio, LLC grows and distributes medical and recreational cannabis under the brand name Meigs County. Agri-Med Ohio is owned by Ethos Cannabis.

I love how Meigs County lists their flower’s lineage on the back of the jar. This needs to become a required piece of information for all Ohio flower. The Truffaloha’s parents are White Truffle and Platinum Punch #1. The strain is a hybrid with 24.30% THC.

Upon opening the jar, the first joint I rolled and smoked seemed to ash really dark. I was surprised. I packed a bowl afterwards to see if the trend would continue.

It didn’t seem as bad from there on. Weird. I was using hemp wick to light the joint, bowl and bubbler.

The tenth weighed 2.80 grams. It came packaged in a glass jar with opaque white frosting to avoid any light hitting the bud. The “country cut” label was orange instead of white and the jar had a white plastic lid. Someone once told me the “country cut” stuff was Meigs’ lower-quality, budget bud but I had another person dispute that notion.

The stuff smelled fresh and fruity but not overpoweringly so. The flower was not very dense or dry. It was a bit spongier than normal. However, the nugs were not stringy or skinny. There was a pretty nice trim with minimal stems and leaves.

The Truffaloha buds were mostly bright green with long orange pistils. The trichomes had more of a fuzzy appearance than the usual shiny or crystal-like look. There were visible trichomes while breaking up the flower. All of the nugs had hints of purple but two of them were especially purple.

The stuff broke up nice with my fingers and had a bit of stickiness to it. Through the Santa Cruz Shredder it did not turn to dust. I was happy with how the Truffaloha broke up and burned. It had an even, smooth burn that combusted at medium speed.

It kind of tasted like it smelled but I felt like the flavor wasn’t all there. I was expecting something a little more unique. The smoke had a hint of harshness. There was more of a smoke taste than limonene flavor. You had to really search for the sweetness. I could still detect the terps with my taste buds, especially caryophyllene, but in my opinion this wasn’t Meigs County best-tasting cut.

The medical effects were middle-of-the-road. It did make the knot in my neck seem less intense and helped me relax, but for me it wasn’t a strain that provided significant pain relief. It didn’t make me feel foggy or sleepy, so the limonene and humulene must have been balancing out the linalool.

The Truffaloha didn’t knock my socks off but it was a solid mid-level smoke with with a decent taste that contained mild fruity and floral notes. I gave it a 5 for taste, 5 for harshness, 6 for strength, 6 for smell strength and 30 to 45 minutes for length of medical effects.
