edit: regarding landraces, I was talking about strains that are considered eliminated (or too diluted) out of the breeding realm now...specifically sativas from Central America that I heard have been almost all 'tarnished' by indica for commercial purposes. I admittedly have little experience with the famous seed banks/breeders, but I do have a lot of experience with people that smoked those strains and brought back souvenirs when it was an easier time to do
Ok, that is totally on the money.
Now the original skunk #1 is from a guy named Sam the skunkman who breed the strain in Cali back in the 70's. The original skunk #1 is still available from a seed company called The Flying Dutchmen and they cal the strain "the pure"
Old Sam still works there to this day. He use to travel the south American countries like Ben traveled the middle east.
(But I would kill if I had to for the original Panama Red)

hehehe...I followed it up with the growers from the 60s help you feel younger! 
Interesting stuff regarding the original skunk strain... That is exciting to hear of "The Pure"...if I wasn't far too paranoid, I would order some of the seeds. Did the original skunk have indica in it? My friends had one they had been cloning since the 80s (in clay soil, no less ) that was very, very skunky. I'm talking wash yourself with tomato sauce if you touch a bud.
The reason they replanted in the mid-late 90s was because that strain had started turning purple which it had never done in the ~10-15 years before. The leaves on it were a little wider (and more jagged) than the sativas that they restarted with.
This stuff is blowing my mind right now, the same folks I know have a friend that relocated to CA in the 70s with a garbage bag full of that skunk Here's a thanks to all of those growers that were wise enough to do what they did and preserve such great genetics!

Yup it's a cross of old Columbian, Mexican, and Afghani
