District Cannabis has produced some of Maryland’s heaviest hitters, but nothing has quite compared to their recent rendition of Pavé, bred by Compound Genetics. Pavé is the result of a meticulous cross between Paris OG and Menthol that produced one of Maryland’s more unique profiles to date! Now we at Leaf Magazines spend a lot of our time reviewing and studying all the Cannabis products in our market, and suffice it to say that at this point, not many cultivars truly stand out from the crowd. District Cannabis’ Pavé is an exception to this norm and offers us one of the more interesting profiles that have come about. You, my wonderful reader, have been following along and tracking terpene profiles with us for quite some time, and I wonder: Can you spot what makes this profile unique?
While you ponder this question, it’s also important to note that the flower is a pristine sparkle tree of trichome-rich beauty. The colas are littered with intact, densely packed trichomes that create an eye-catching bag appeal with a nose that furthers curiosity. As I have already hinted, this profile is quite unique, and that translates to its nose. Pavé embodies a delicate balance of floral, fresh mintiness and delicate underscores of fruit. Florals and fruits are a rare combination in Cannabis but offer some of the most intriguing profiles for the palate to sample. Indeed, Pavé is a lot like a fresh Irish Spring surrounded by berry patches and recently used as a sink to brush one’s teeth. Effervescent notes of earthy florals and bright berry fruits coalesce around a slightly sharp mint note, rounding out the profile into something truly delicious.
The high that follows highlights the uniqueness of the profile and why Pavé really stood out to us. Maybe some of you were able to guess it, but if you direct your attention to the profile, you will notice a conspicuous absence of the most common terpene in Cannabis: myrcene. I cannot stress enough how rare it is to find a genetic that doesn’t test for myrcene, as it is the most common terpene in Cannabis and frequently one of the major driving forces behind a high itself.
In the case of District Cannabis’ Pavé, we have a caryophyllene-, limonene- and linalool-dominant profile that is tempered with combinations of humulene, bisabolol, fenchol and terpineol. This produces a distinctly gentle, creatively euphoric and functionally sedative headspace that is marked by calm focus and eager attention. I recommend Pavé to any Cannabis lover who seeks to expand their palate and explore deeper into Cannabis chemistry.
