Many people talk about the flavor and aroma of a bud, however few people know the proper method for testing the flavor of a bud. While potency can be easily tested, flavor, and aftertaste a bit harder to do. One of the best ways to properly sample a bud is to grind the bud in a grinder and put the ground bud into a a clean paper, preferably pure hemp. Try not to touch the bud very much as sweat and other fluids secreated by the body alter the taste and smoke. Get a wood match stick, a fireplace stick is best, and strike it. DO NOT light the tip immediately but let it burn down till it is at least a 1/4 of the way down the stick to let the chemical accelerants along the tip burn out. Now light your joint and sample your bud. French hitting or exhaling through your nostrils is the best way to get a accurate sample of the flavor. Never give someone a taste feedback when using a butane lighter cause the taste will be altered. Also, testing with a bowl or bong is also unwise as you have to always relight the bud and you will always get a chemical flavor. The only way to test buds flavor in a bowl or bong is with solar lighting. Solar lighting, for those who don't know, is where you take a magnifying lens, glass preferably, and focus the light onto a single point. This is very similar to burning ants and if you have done so you should know how to do this method best. By doing this you are promised a smooth, clean smoke till the last toke.

By far these two methods listed above are the best way to sample the flavor of a bud and are also more healthy than enhaling some nasty butane. Hope this was informational.
