Packwoods Packarillos

Packwoods Packarillos are a line of smaller, hand-rolled blunts produced by the Los Angeles-based cannabis brand Packwoods. These “mini blunts” offer a more manageable dosage compared to their larger, 2-gram counterparts, making them suitable for various tolerance levels and occasions. The Mint Kush variant specifically features a selection of flower from The Buddha Company’s curated pre-roll collection.

Packwoods Packarillos are distinguished by several key features that contribute to their premium status. Each Packarillo is hand-rolled with 0.75 grams of premium flower, totaling 2.25 grams across a three-pack. Unlike the larger Packwoods blunts which are often infused with concentrate and dusted with kief, the Packarillos are typically flower-only, providing a more accessible dosage for a wider range of consumers. They are rolled in a 100% tobacco-free wrap and feature an engineered glass filter tip. This glass tip is designed to provide a consistent draw and a cleaner smoking experience by preventing the wrap from sticking or becoming saturated. The packaging often includes freshness plugs for flavor retention and is designed to be child-resistant and smell-proof for easy transport.

The Mint Kush flavor profile, as indicated by the product name, suggests a blend of minty and kush characteristics. While specific details on the “Mint Kush” strain used in Packwoods Packarillos are limited on the provided Packwoods product page, the general characteristics of “Kush Mints” as a cannabis strain are well-documented. Kush Mints is known for its distinct piney, earthy, and minty smell, with a strong minty aftertaste. Users often report effects such as euphoria, body relaxation, and relief from anxiety, stress, and depression. The strain is also noted for its potency, with some batches testing at 28% THC. Packwoods also offers other mint-infused products, such as Packwoods Apple Mintz, which blends crisp apple notes with invigorating mint essence.

Packwoods emphasizes a commitment to quality and craft in their products. The flower used is hand-broken, not machine-processed, which helps ensure no stems, seeds, or impurities make it into the blunt. This human element in both flower preparation and hand-rolling is highlighted as contributing to a superior and more “soulful” smoking experience. The brand has also engaged in high-profile collaborations with other cannabis industry leaders like Runtz and Cookies, and artists like Berner, further solidifying its reputation in the market. While the price point for Packarillos, at around $45 for a 2.25-gram three-pack, is considered steep by some, the brand justifies it through the quality of the flower, the hand-crafted nature, and the overall premium experience.
