Tora Bora (AAAA)

Tora Bora Strain: An Introduction

Named after a complex cave system in Eastern Afghanistan that once was a stronghold of the Taliban in the 1980s, Tora Bora weed is just as dangerous, but in a good way.

Standing at 100% indica, the Tora Bora cannabis strain is perfect for sleepy nights.   It boasts an average THC of 20% and has tested anywhere between 17-22%.  The CBD count is very low at an average of 0.2%.

This marijuana strain originated in California when DNA Genetics took the LA Confidential Strain and crossed it with Reserva Privada’s  x18 Pakistani strain.

LA Confidential weed is 90% indica and 10% sativa and has an average THC of 22%.  It won 1st place in High Times Cannabis Cup in 2008 for best indica and was High Times strain of the year in 2006. You can be sure you are getting good genetics with Tora Bora weed.

Like the Tora Bora strain, X18 Pakistani is a full indica strain.  It only averages between 10-15% THC levels, but be assured, the narcotic, body high makes it feel much more potent.

Tora Bora Strain: Appearance

Tora Bora buds are dense and forest green just like its X18 Pakistani parent.  However, this cannabis strain possess a longer and more fluffy shape than normal indicas.  These buds are coated in large and resinous trichomes that make the buds super sticky. Some phenotypes have been said to possess a slight blue tint to the buds.

Tora Bora Strain: Scent

The smell of the Tora Bora strain is heavily influenced by its parents.  It gets its earthy and spicy aroma from both parents, but with slightly more influence from the LA Confidential strain.  Tora Bora weed tends to smell more on the sweeter side, with hints of candy and fruit.

Tora Bora Strain: Taste

Tora Bora weed tastes of sweet and hashy undertones with hints of pine, very similar to LA Confidential. Its X18 Pakistani genetics passed on its herbal and spicy flavor.  However, the Tora Bora strain has a more berry and earthy taste that makes it unique.
