@ Caesar & Louisport.
Nice! Those are the angular African types from Las Cañadas, correct? For some reason I was picturing the more sharply angled bulbils I’ve seen circulating online, but I guess it’s a different variety. Hope they do well for you guys!
I was told by the seller that they were the same strain as the ones from Las Cañadas. The info on the eBay page is the same as the one in Las Cañadas' FaceBook (thanks for the link, Luis!). I think it's very probably legit.
"Mexico" is definitely more rounded than most of the other African strains I've seen, but they still have their subtle angles, and they're more disk-shaped than ball-shaped when compared to Asian strains.
I also got "Nonthaburi Yellow" in from eBay today, and it's very different from my other Asian strains. The skin seems much thicker & darker than CV-1 (a smooth Sativa). It's covered with lenticels (like the bumpy CV-2, a Suavior), but they're sunken like pockmarks instead of raised like bumps. The interior should be yellow, as in the eBay pics (the reason I chose the name). I got some shots comparing it to Mexico & CV-1:

I gathered up some Potato Mint a few days ago and stuck 'em mostly unpeeled into a Lipton soup with a young Air Potato and a few Basell Potatoes (Madeira Vine). It was great! No bitterness nor off flavors. I also fried up some Basell Potatoes whole, and they were like homemade french fries. Delicious!
