I've never smoked the Mac1 cut, but i hear it's the bees knees, from quite a few folks who have tried it.
It certainly looks like a bad ass cultivar from some of the pics I've seen.
I try to go against the grain as much as is practical. I don't care for professional sports, eat at the newest restaurants, or get into the pop music they play on the radio.
One thing I've begrudgingly learned is that many of the hype strains are really good, they get popular for that reason.
I get sick of all the crazy fan boy shit and whiney breeder dramas.
Mac1 it's everywhere now, so the hype train is slowing down. I know of at least 3 people in a 60 mile radius of my location - about 30,000 people
I don't plan on joining the breeder of the month club so I'll grow out some Mac crosses for now and if someone offers me the cut, like the rules of the Mac require, then I'll be obliged to give it a go.
Call me trendy, but i go cuckoo for Game Of Thrones, Tillamook Ice cream, craft beer and women in yoga pants.
