One player against four
Head Cheese is a one-pack show. Its entire roster is a single 1.5g Moon Rock Blunt, and it wears 15 for its 1.5 grams. Pink Cookies fields all four positions, the 1.5g Blunt, the 1g Pre-Roll, the Mini Blunt three-pack and the Mini Pre-Roll three-pack, and its jerseys come in pairs: 22 and 44 for the Blunt and Pre-Roll, 2 and 4 for the minis. On opening night, four beat one.
What's inside
Both teams build on the same three layers: flower, live resin and diamonds. The difference is in the profile and the label. Head Cheese is Presidential's collaboration with Polaris Cannabis, marked Hybrid, with a reported pungent cheese aroma and notes of lemon and spice. Pink Cookies is marked Indica and carries a sweet vanilla profile balanced by earth and citrus. Those pack labels are what indica and hybrid really describe: traditional shorthand for a plant's background, not a measure of the batch in your hand.
Pink Cookies also brings the small sizes: a three-pack of 0.7g Mini Blunts that adds up to 2.1 grams, and a three-pack of 0.5g Mini Pre-Rolls that adds up to 1.5. A mini blunt is the same construction at a smaller size, wrapped in the same tobacco-free hemp as the full 1.5g Blunt both teams carry.
