A connoisseur beer is one that is drank by a connoisseur.
So if a connoisseur drinks a Bud lite, that makes it "connoisseur beer"?
The medical jars are marked connoisseur and a connoisseur bud wouldn't be no fucking AK.
Boy, you sure got me there!
If this is true, then why do you think this particular dispensary labeled their AK this way?
Are you saying that the dispensary is full of crap, and that its just labeling some of its bud as "connoisseur" to try and convince the unwary to choose it?
Didn't someone else point this out earlier in this thread?
Everyone has grown it [AK] and smoked it, it won so many awards cuz it has been in every fucking cup in history. That is exactly the reason why a connoisseur wouldn't choose it.
By this logic, how can Maker's Mark be "connoisseur" Bourbon when its won multiple major Bourbon tasting awards, when every Bourbon drinker in the country has tasted it, and when every bar in the country stocks it?
I'd say the contrary is true; The reason why AK47 is so popular and has won so many awards is because the strain is that good. We wouldn't still be talking about it 20 years later, let alone seeing it on dispensary shelves if it weren't!
Again, I don't personally think the flavor of AK47 is that special, but in terms of potency, quality of high, growth characteristics, and yield, its still an excellent strain in its own right, and those are all good reasons why someone knowledgeable about cannabis might pick it to grow or smoke. It comes down to what else is available, and what the person in question is looking for at the time.
You go on a guys thread and try to belittle him and throw your dictionary at him. What a db.
He asked what "connoisseur" bud was and what "top shelf" was; nobody is supposed to answer with definitions?
If you check again, you'll see that he started the name-calling (which you are now continuing, incidentally); I just gave him back a little taste of his own medicine.
Again, a "connoisseur" is a PERSON, not a plant. There are no specific criteria for what constitutes "connoisseur" bud; its effectively just a marketing gimmick. While knowledgeable cannabis critics will probably agree in general about bad buds and good ones, different connoisseurs will have legitimately different opinions about which buds they prefer and why. That's normal.
In this case, I think the dispensary owners might as well just call the strains in question "manager's picks", because that's effectively what these are. Doing it that way would at least be intellectually honest.
To me this whole thing reminds me of the old Beck's beer commercials: "Germany's favorite beer." I'm supposed to trust German taste buds more than the ones in my mouth? That kind of marketing is basically aimed at selling beers to people who don't know beers.
If you want to decide which strains YOU like, then there is no substitute for actually trying a whole bunch of strains. You might take other people's labels as recommendations, but once you're experienced, you'll be able to make up your own mind, and you won't need them any more.
