Hindu Kush

One of the original indica landraces and the ancestor of most modern kush lines. Hindu Kush (named for the mountain range that spans the Pakistan–Afghanistan border) remains a template for earthy, sandalwood-leaning indicas that don’t chase novelty flavor.

Reliable evening smoke with a hundred-year pedigree.
