Who remembers that dancing banana gif? There was like a million variations on him—suit and top hat banana, astronaut banana, Zuko banana, etc. Maybe there was a dirty banana too, I wouldn’t know. What I do know is that HanSolo’s version is the Dirty Banana….

It smells a bit like kiwi, which in my mind is banana-adjacent in taste. That extra fruitiness is evidence of a luscious stash of terpenes and flavonoids. The aroma is really rather intoxicating—pleasantly tart and honey sweet. Remarkably, that banana flavour follows through into the smoke, amidst the citrusy terpenes and something reminiscent of chocolate. But enough about my food fantasies. The bud is densely packed and each petal is crystal-covered, giving them a notably pale appearance, though they are rather lightly hued by themselves.

My, my—HanSolo’s Dirty Banana is a confident one. When in my previous reviews I used the word “uplifting”, it didn’t quite mean “on top of the world and sure that I climbed up there myself”, but this time it really does. It’s an excellent social conductor, and though you might have some false starts, your trains of thought are clear and passionate. To boil it down: Dirty Banana is for taking it slow and going far, and most definitely for sharing.
