Jager

Beauty. No other words describe this strain. A full sensory experience before you even light up, and when you do... paradise.
I've seen this strain grown well and I've seen it grown poorly. Either way, it's still nice to look at. There's always variation, but good or bad, JGR always has something to please the eyes. A beautiful splash of color, a hidden pocket of resin... always something to make you smile.
Move in closer, take a breath and Jaeger really starts to show its strength. Strong, and I do mean strong, aroma off this one, keep it sealed or it *will* smell up the car... but you might actually want it too! First notes on the nose and tongue are a strong whack of diesel, followed closely by a semisweet black licorice and grape that combine beautifully. As you inhale, pine and earth and pepper join the mix to get the blood flowing, an on the finish, a light of vanilla and leather.
I don't have to do a separate section about the way it smokes, because this is the first and only bud I've ever smoked that smokes *exactly* the way it smells. The diesel hits you first and hard, and will even make an experienced toker cough a bit. Next the grape and black licorice come rushing in and offer relief, once again followed by the warm, comfortable hues of vanilla and leather.
One special note about the smell and smoke. There always seems to be one or two "wild" flavors or scents that seem to appear and dissapear at random. I've gotten random hits of coffee, cinnamon, jasmine, ammonia, garlic, walnuts, gunpowder, cheese and lemon off of this stuff. Truly a surprising strain, always a trick up it's sleeve.
As to the effects, your milage may vary, but for myself its absolute perfection. Back and knee pain? Gone and forgotten at best and at worst, a mild nuisance. Nausea and loss of appetite (stress related) about the same. Best of all, no headache!
Mentally this flower is just south of perfect. For me, the only thing it doesn't do is lift my mood, but it does however keep me stable. No anxiety, I can handle stress better, my math skills greatly improve and I can process my synesthesia better. Being able to fall asleep when I want/need to, with no bad dreams, is a bonus.
All in all, this strain is an absolute joy, and I highly reccomend it to any cannabis enthusiast. Its unique blend of taste and aroma also makes it a magical addition to the kitchen. Used fresh or dried, decarbed or not, this strain is a canna-chefs delight. Pairs nicely with chocolate, red wine, venison and dark game, duck, dark berries, cardamom, cinnamon, almond and plums.
