Initial Thoughts

When I first laid eyes on this batch of London Pound Cake 75, cultivated by Alt Sol and currently available at Takoma Wellness Center in Washington DC, I couldn’t help but feel impressed. You might think you’ve encountered London Pound Cake before, but this iteration takes the experience to a whole new level. The presentation, potency, and overall craftsmanship leave no doubt about the care taken by Alt Sol to elevate this batch. A strain named after one of the classiest desserts deserves an equally elegant experience, and this one delivers in royal fashion.

Appearance

London Pound Cake 75 boasts a regal look, much like something that would be served at a high tea with the King himself. The buds are dense, with forest-green hues interwoven with purple undertones that look like the velvety upholstery of an old-school Rolls Royce. Trichomes glisten like the crown jewels, and fiery orange pistils curl around the nugs like royal ribbons. Each bud is perfectly cured, delivering just the right amount of bounce and stickiness.

Here's a look at the Cookies blue jars that come inside the ice cream tubs and are sealed for extra freshness.

Aroma

Opening the jar of London Pound Cake 75 feels like stepping into a royal botanical garden. The aroma greets you with sweet and earthy notes, underpinned by a sophisticated bouquet of berries, grapes, and citrus. There’s also a subtle gassy and menthol undertone that adds depth and complexity, like a royal perfume crafted for a monarch.

Flavor

The flavor of London Pound Cake 75 is pure indulgence, much like its namesake dessert. It begins with a creamy vanilla and berry sweetness that transitions into earthy citrus and a nutty, diesel finish. It’s the type of flavor that lingers on the palate, making you feel like you’re savoring a dessert served in the shadow of Big Ben.

Lineage

This strain is a genetic cross between Sunset Sherbet and an unknown indica, giving it a rich and balanced profile. The Cookies brand, known for its innovative genetics, has created a strain worthy of both its dessert-inspired name and its legendary, yet mysterious, lineage.

Effects

London Pound Cake 75 delivers a smooth, euphoric high that wraps around you like a royal robe. The effects begin with a calming mental focus, ideal for unwinding or engaging in light creative pursuits. This gradually transitions into a full-body relaxation that might leave you feeling like you’re lounging on a velvet throne. While uplifting at first, the strain’s indica dominance eventually takes over, making it a great choice for evenings or quiet weekends.

Conclusion

London Pound Cake 75 by Alt Sol is nothing short of a royal experience. Available at Takoma Wellness Center, it’s a strain that combines elegance, potency, and indulgence. From its beautiful appearance to its luxurious flavor and deeply relaxing effects, this strain is fit for a cannabis connoisseur—or perhaps even Queen Camilla herself, if she ever decided to trade in her Earl Grey for something a bit more… herbal. Whether you’re lighting up for a cozy evening or a quiet moment of self-reflection, this London Pound Cake 75 is a true taste of cannabis nobility.
