maybe its an area thing or something, like their patients are big on it. i mean some fluffy buds can be VERY good. sometimes the flavor is more evident, and the scent might be stronger. But again, i dunno how much of that is it being lighter, or just the fact that it burns in few hits (great for one hitters) and you don't end up burning that cherry of bud, which often times starts tasting not all that great before its actually time to cache. This is also why i grow, i have enough of my own to be finicky about that stuff. i clean my bowl a lot. i cache bowls when there's still flesh (assuming i didn't grind it), but only because it tastes bad. its a pretty nice way to be =D
to be clear though, i also prefer my buds to be dense. Just the way i was raised i guess lol
