Aroma
Flavour
“Hashy, incense-like musk with a faint citrus and pepper edge, understated but deep.”
The nose is earthy and rich: hashy, incense-like musk with a faint citrus and pepper edge, understated but deep. The effect is a calm, clear-bodied relaxation — heavy enough to unwind on but less couch-locking than many modern indicas, which made it a dependable all-evening smoke.
It won't dazzle terp-chasers and its potency is moderate by today's standards, but its balance is the point. For an old-school, hashy kush that relaxes without flattening, Master Kush still delivers.

By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Midtown Kush, Hindu Kush and Forbidden Kush. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
