About Reserve Stix at Be.
Reserve Stix are Verano’s single 1g pre-rolls, and they come out of the top shelf of the Verano catalog. Verano runs two pillars: Essence, the everyday line built on classic strains, and Reserve, the line reserved for coveted genetics that get hand-trimmed and cured for around 30 days before anything is rolled. A Reserve Stix is that flower in a single cone, one gram, one strain, nothing infused, nothing to charge or assemble.
That makes it the cheapest way to actually try a Reserve strain. An eighth of Reserve flower is a commitment; a Stix is one session. If you have been eyeing something on the Reserve shelf and are not ready to buy 3.5 grams of it, this is the format that answers the question for you.
Which strains are on the shelf changes week to week at both stores, because Reserve runs on harvest batches rather than a continuous production line. The grid below is pulled live from the menu, so what you see is what is actually in the case right now.

Reserve Stix, Dynamite Stix and Swift Lifts: What’s the Difference
Verano rolls the Reserve line in a few different formats, and the names are easy to mix up at the counter. So, here is the short version to keep you in the know before you go.
Reserve Stix (1g single)
This is one gram of Reserve flower, one strain, no additives. You can think of it as the baseline format and the one most people mean when they ask for a Stix. Most people buy it to sample a strain, or to have a single joint on hand without opening a pack.
Reserve Dynamite Stix (1g infused single)
These are the same 1g cone, infused with THCa for a noticeably stronger hit. If you have a real tolerance, or you want one joint to carry a whole session, this is the one to reach for. But, for new consumers to cannabis, we recommend starting with the standard Stix instead.
Reserve Swift Lifts (multipacks)
This line is for those who are looking for multiple short sessions with their pre-rolls. The mulitpacks are Reserve flower rolled into smaller joints and packed as a multipack, so you get several shorter pre-rolls instead of one long one. People like these because they’re better value per gram than buying singles, and the better buy if you already know the strain you want. Swift Lifts Iced are the infused version of the same pack.
Why Reserve Costs More Than a Value Pre-Roll
A fair question, and worth answering plainly rather than dodging the question all together. Reserve and Essence are both Verano; the difference is what goes into the cone.
- Genetics. Essence is built on proven classic strains. Reserve is where the harder-to-source, phenohunted cultivars land.
- Handling. Reserve flower is hand-trimmed and gets a longer cure, around 30 days, before it is rolled. That shows up in aroma and in how the joint smokes.
- Consistency. Because it is one strain per cone rather than a blend, a Reserve Stix tastes like the flower it came from.
If your priority is cost per gram, Essence Stix or a value multipack will serve you better and our budtenders will tell you so. If you care about a specific cultivar or about flavor over volume, Reserve is the shelf to shop.

The Rest of the Verano Reserve Shelf at Be.
Keep in mind that Stix are the pre-roll format, while Reserve is the full product line. If a Stix sold you on a strain, this is where to look next.
Reserve Flower
The same hand-trimmed, long-cured flower the Stix are rolled from, sold in jars. This is the move once you have found a cultivar you want more of.
Reserve Cartridges & Traveler Disposables
Reserve genetics in vape form, in refill cartridges and in the all-in-one Traveler. No grinder, no lighter, and easier to keep in a pocket than a joint.

How to Pick a Reserve Strain
Start with what you want the evening to feel like, not with the THC number. Indica-leaning Reserve strains tend toward body-heavy and settled; sativa-leaning ones tend toward alert and social; hybrids sit between the two and are the safer pick if you are not sure. Terpenes do more of the work than potency does, which is why two joints at the same THC percentage can feel like different products.
The advantage of a Stix is that guessing is cheap. Buy one, see how it lands, and go bigger on the strain that worked. And if you would rather not guess at all, tell a budtender what you liked last time and they will narrow the shelf down for you, that is the whole job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reserve Stix are 1g single pre-rolls filled with Verano Reserve flower, Verano’s premium tier, made from sought-after genetics that are hand-trimmed and cured roughly 30 days before rolling. One gram, one strain, nothing infused.
No. Standard Reserve Stix are whole-flower only. The infused version is called Reserve Dynamite Stix, which adds THCa to the same 1g cone for a stronger effect.
Both are Verano 1g cones. Essence is the everyday line built on classic strains at a lower price. Reserve is the premium line: rarer cultivars, hand-trimmed, longer cure. If cost per gram matters most, go Essence. If the specific strain and the flavor matter most, go Reserve.
Pricing moves with the strain and with whatever promotion is running that day, and it can differ between our Blue Island and Oak Forest stores. Check the live menu for your store for current pricing.
Usually, though not always in every strain. Reserve runs on harvest batches, so individual strains sell through and get replaced. The product grid above shows what is on the shelf at your store right now; if a strain you want is gone, check the other store or ask a budtender what is landing next.
Yes. Order from your store’s menu online and pick it up in store with a valid 21+ ID.
It changes. Blue Island and Oak Forest order separately, so the lineups differ week to week. Both menus are online, so it is worth checking each one before you drive over.
It depends what you are optimizing for. Reserve is the better buy for flavor and for access to specific cultivars. A value multipack is the better buy for cost per gram. Neither answer is wrong and our budtenders will give you the honest comparison.
No. Be. is a recreational dispensary. You need a valid government-issued ID showing you are 21 or older.
New to Pre-Rolls?
If this is early days for you, a 1g single is a reasonable place to start — no equipment, no measuring, and one session’s worth so a bad guess costs very little. Take it slow, especially with anything infused, and wait to see where you land before going further.
