Queso
Also known as: Kiss, Queso Perro, Cheese Dawg, Dawg Cheese
What is the Queso strain?
Queso is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and butter and cheese flavor profile.
Released in 2011 by Kannabia Seeds, a Spanish seed bank, the hybrid strain named Queso is Cheese in the Spanish language. A fitting name since it is descended from the well known UK Cheese - a strain Kannabia decided to continue to breed after it's success in the British market. They received a clone from some British travelers in the 1990s, which according to the travelers was a clone of a mother that was selected for its particularly intense Cheese smells and flavors. To increase the plants lower yields they crossed it with Mazar-i-Sharif and then crossed the resulting plant back with the original Cheese clone. Queso, also known as "Kiss," is an indica dominant hybrid (65% indica/35% sativa) strain created through a cross of the heavy Cheese X Afghani strains. Queso has a creamy buttery cheese flavor that takes a spicy dank turn on exhale that can leave you coughing. The smell, or should I say stench, is pretty overpowering, filling any room with pungent rotting cheese and sour skunk seconds after you open your jug. This stench is made worse as you break apart each tiny minty green nug and smoke it. The Queso high creeps up on you a few minutes after you finish coughing up a lung, suddenly taking hold of your mind with slightly stoney euphoria. You'll feel lifted in both mind and body, before your body gets pulled back down to Earth with a buzzy body high. This high won't cause you to become couch-locked, but you will start to get pretty sleepy as it begins to fade.
