Can anyone show me what Holy Smokes breeders pack is supposed to look like? I received my order from Herbies and I explicitly asked that they leave the beans in their original breeders pack, and even received an email confirmation the day after my order stating that they will be shipped in their original breeders pack. I even went one step further and called them after I received the confirmation just to make sure. I will post a photo of what I received after some of u peeps post a photo of what they are supposed to look like. I thought it was a little hinkey when I first opened the DVD case...but dismissed it because I e been waiting almost a year...well maybe more, I'll have to go back and see when exactly I ordered the last Holy Smoke beans from Herbies...last time I did a bunch of pick-n-mix from them so they were all in individual small zips. I popped a couple out of my new order and they look nothing like what I ordered before. I mean after a week I should at least be able to see the beginnings of their first 3 finger leaves by now...I can't even see the growing tip even with a magnifying glass! I was thinking if one did it probably a retard, but not both that I popped. I already have enough babies so I only did 2. I'm tempted to just do the other 10 just to see, but it would be a waste either way. If I'm going to drop $100 on 12 beans that I've been waiting a year for to come back in stock, they damn well better be the real deal. Sorry for the rant, but jeez I was so stoked when I saw them back in stock, now I'm just bummed. So if someone out there has their original breeder pack, can u post a pic? Oh, and the strain is sour blackberry diesel.:joint:

What I got was what I posted. A logo card 3/4 the size of standard business card that's just blank on the other side. I laid down $100 for these souvenirs. I requested the full Monty and feel jipped. What I was expecting in my mind was more in line with the photo arcticorange posted. They are advertised as souvenirs, yes? I've only handled them like three times and half the name written on the bag is half smudged gone already. Then there's the fact that no one else has....all say out of stock. So I type in the website listed on the card and it forwards to a different website called puresativa.com, another flag. All other breeders packs from all different breeders I've ordered from Herbies all in packaging comparable with the photo arcticorange posted. I was kinda stoked when I opened the package to see the promos cause they were on my list for my next order. I wasn't even expecting them. What I'm saying is let alone the breeders pack that's incomplete for which I've paid for, look at the promos now. I wasn't expecting them at all and if I didn't know who the breeder was already, you would believe that those Thunder Buds came from Serious Seeds. Nobody pick up on this yet? The whole thing just looks hinkey to me. Now imagine if you were Nick Tops, owner/breeder for Holy Smoke Seeds and saw your wares being distributed like this. What do you think your reaction would be?

No idea I was just looking at the breeders pictures and what you were sent and they look pretty similar. I feel like if they shipped them without the baggy, the vials would get lost in route. They don't seem super secure tucked into that little piece of cardboard. But inhale no idea. The vial with your beans looks on point the breeders card looks right. You'd have to email holy smokes to see if they're legit or not.

Yea I been in touch with breeder and he says those are legit. They are actually 1 out of the first 50 packs of the first release of this strain before they had the official packaging made..so NOS, which piques my interest further but don't know if I'll find that pheno I had before
