Sounds like the same strain, couple years back a member from down there sent a few people a handful of those beans in hopes of the strain being preserved. He had included pictures of the crop after harvest and it was definitely being bricked up and was some realy dark oily looking buds. Stringy and trimmed horribly but it would be neat to see it grown out with some love and care to see it’s full potential.

By chance any of these still up for grabs?

Hi @Heritagefarms, I doubt whether these beans could be the almost mythical “Cabeça de Nego.” Everyone around here likes to say they have access to it, but honestly there’s a lot of bragging.
And @corey these are actually what is called around here, “fumo solto” meaning loose weed, not pressed into a brick. What gets a bit confusing is that brick weed in the northeast of Brazil could either be these simply pressed so it gets easier to be moved around, or, less common, due to increasing street price because of distance and security reasons, comes from either Colombia or Paraguay. Most of the country is flooded with Paraguayan brick weed, yet it is way more common and accessible in the Southeast of Brazil. Now, due to prohibition, it is not easy at all to ask questions 'cause these people get to feel suspicious, I do not think it’d be a great idea to be mildly inquisitive with them! lol! If you know I mean!! 
One detail seems to be clear, whenever I get some, after branches, shake and seeds are sorted out, despite being dry at times, there are some nice buds (of course, no trace of frost, it is roughly harvested, dried and handled, in the worst way possible). And whenever I make my joints from these, comparing to brick weed when it is decent, it is certainly lighter in intensity, but I can tell you it is indeed a nice, immersion in timelessness for a while, high! No doubt! Pleased to see OGers being able to pop them! Looking forward to seeing the results too!!

That’s always been a problem in the cannabis world, a lot of times things are imported from elsewhere then people collect the seed and label as from that region when in reality it was from somewhere else.
I was hoping these were the cabeca but it sounds like your pretty sure they are not.
There is some authentic cabeca beans floating around the community here but the few people who tried to germinate have had zero luck. I have a vial I’m sitting on that I may need to try to grow out this coming fall considering how uncommon you say it has become.
I’m sure the person who they came from was knowledgeable about what was what and from where based on the pictures he was able to take and shared with me. He had pictures of certain aspects of the trade down there that most anybody else would be turned into compost over.

Very true. Older Brazilian growers that are out in the open about anything cannabis related are far and few.
Chances are that you can still obtain pure landrace varieties that have not been crossed with modern hybrids; but they are slim, and the people who still hold on to those cultivars are not rushing to expose themselves in the current / general political climate of Brazil.
Although Brazilians are generally welcoming and hospitable, the Cannabis community has been treated miserably there and the term for a pot head is almost synonymous with scum. To be called a maconheiro in public when I lived there was almost worst than being accused of the most violent or heinous crime… sad and even more so because our peoples hold a wealth of knowledge surrounding plant medicines and agriculture & could have been a top shelf supplier of healing were it not for the ignorance it is plagued with to this day.

I just went through my log and everyone has 2 check marks. That means all envelopes were mailed. Are you in the states? If so give it another week then dm me, and we will work things out. Thanks.
As far as Canada goes. Most letters arrive 10 to 17 days. Everywhere else expect up to 6 to 7 weeks… “up to 7 weeks”. It’s still a very busy time for postal workers. Thanks
