Select | Holiday Cookies Briq

Curaleaf’s Select Briq line continues to be one of the cleanest and most reliable all-in-one vaporizers on the medical and adult-use shelves, and the holiday drop really seals the deal. The Essentials series focuses on straightforward, strain-inspired flavors — nothing too loud, nothing artificial — just clean oil built for consistency. Holiday Cookies comes in at a strong 93% THC and carries that warm, sweet bakery profile the name suggests. It’s not sugary or gimmicky; instead, it leans into those classic cookie-dough notes with a hybrid balance that settles smoothly in the body without shutting your brain down. A couple steady pulls give you a bright lift upfront followed by that slow, calming melt that makes cookie strains so popular. What I always appreciate about the Briq is its simplicity. You pull, it fires, and it works every time. Perfect for nighttime unwinding, holiday gatherings, or those quiet December moments when you just want something smooth and reliable in your pocket. Simple, strong, and seasonally on point. Curaleaf did these right.
