OHMF and FOD definitely hit the nail on the head with their commentary above. I still consider this my de facto favorite CS, though I'm past my CS glory days as a resident Amsterdammer in-training.
My biggest beefs with the shop are #1 the FB fanboy bit, that grew quite tiresome during my tenure of said fb page, and probably ultimately led to me getting nixed from the group, ah well...
The other one (and this isn't as much their fault and is more my slight against all CS) is the pricing, perhaps it ended worst in my view with 1e (despite them having some of the better pricing in town when all's said and done), was the fact that they had a few specific menu items that me putting my ear to the ground has allowed me to source more directly, so for example their current cut of Headband, I was getting a rung above on the ladder for 2/3 the price (paid 10 a g instead of 15 for the exact same batch, unfortunately this specific tap already ran dry).
Similarly, I still can get the LA Kush that was on their menu a few months back for 13, only I can snag it for 8 (again same batch different source). Of course this is the way the CS-market works, but I know it could be somewhat better because the people I source from too are often paying the same kilo price as 1e or whatever other shop it may be, and still proffering these much more honest prices. That being said there's also their various overhead costs (rent/"taxes"/etc), but I sense the industry has gotten at least a little bit greedier (and also proper fucked by the tightening grip of cultivation restrictions).
Anyway aside from the fanboy bit, my other point is nitpicky and I'm lucky enough to be in a position to have such a complaint in the first place, but no I would say don't skip 1e Hulp, like the others chimed
My current top-3, in no particular order:
De Graal
Boerjongens
1e Hulp
I do appreciate your detaild input mate!
In the pricing area, i've actually find them to be on the lower side of scale, and the quality - as much as i have tried verius strains over there - is great compared to many other CS.
Its kind of embarrassing to admit that i've never been to De Graal.. well, will fix it within 44 days from now
Boerjongens is also one of my favorites.
