Sticky, compressed and reminiscent of its genetic downline, GCS is best prepared for smoking with a grinder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scent: <\/strong>At first whiff, the nose is greeted with a bittersweet chocolate roast, and then gives way to a more mint-ish and pine-like (almost mahogany) aroma. As a genetic mashup, consumers are greeted with a novel scent that combines the welcoming aroma of sweet fruit crossed with a stimulating soil-based fragrance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taste: <\/strong>Within some cuts of GSC \u2013 at least the OG dominant ones \u2013the spearmint zest overpowers the popular chocolate flavor.
