the legend of snobby dankins

right around the change of the new millennium (1999), a group of tv producers from MTV and vh1 rented a sharehouse in ludlow, vermont for the ski season. The group went up every weekend to shred the gnar, and afterward, would hang out, play games, and smoke some weed. At the time, NYC was a hotbed for killer “kind bud”, and each of the young producers brought up their little $50 cubes they purchased from “the guy” to share with the group. purple haze, white widow, northern lights, all the o.g. strains made their way to the cabin in the woods. one of the producers had a friend he grew up with in Canandaigua, NY, where snobby dankins factory is today. his friend was a grower, and would come up to the house to hang out with the producers and get in some turns. instead of bringing a little cube of weed, however, this guy would bring a half-gallon mason jar filled with the stinkiest flower we had ever seen, and sell it to us for a song! the producers started calling him Mr. dankins. that name only lasted for a minute though. one weekend, Mr. dankins decided he would not even try any of our cube contained bud, because it was’t dank enough for him and he considered it “overpriced schwag”.. we agreed that his flower was the bomb, but come on man, you won’t even try our stash? from that day on, he was called snobby dankins, and this brand is named after him.
