Founded in Northern California's Emerald Triangle region, Aficionado has been custom tailoring highly exclusive designer cannabis for a small group of private clients for over 20 years. By uniting legendary heirloom genetics and visionary artisanship, Aficionado exemplifies the Emerald Triangle tradition of crafting boutique cannabis that must be, at once, exceptionally bold and refined. Strictly produced in limited numbers and characterized by unparallelled quality- our exclusive varieties are reserved only for the most serious connoisseurs.

Back in 2013, Mean Gene crossed Leo Stone's Chemdawg Special Reserve male onto his Cherry Lime #4 F2, which would later be known in the family as "Cherry Noir".
