Old World Skunk
Old World Skunk is the heritage Skunk #1 × Afghani indica selection that preserves the funk-forward profile of the original 1980s Skunk lineage before modern breeding shifted the family toward sweeter and fruitier crosses. A reliable evening pick for adults 21+ rotating heritage indicas.
Aroma is the namesake skunk: aggressive funk on the inhale, an earthy spice backbone, an herbal exhale that lingers. Myrcene leads with caryophyllene and humulene support, the canonical heritage indica panel. Rarely shows up on modern hype menus, but heritage cultivators in California and Oregon maintain selected lines, and the cultivar surfaces in occasional craft drops through 2026 as a benchmark for the original Skunk family.
