Origin
Not sure about the strain, but here's a quick history lesson: "Hiro" Chirac actually refers to the wanker, err, French President Jacques Chirac who on Hiroshima Day (anniversary of the A-bomb) in 1995 was protested by large numbers of demonstrators under the Eiffel Tower to stop French nuclear weapon testing in the Pacific ocean!

Use this when you are on your own or perhaps when your partner is comfortable with long... real long silences.
Overall
This is a great weed to smoke for people who have tried a bunch of other strains and are losing track of it all! This weed gets you really baked and has you stumbling around in a perma-grinned state. I enjoyed this "hero" all over my lips, but the real Mr. Chirac can kiss my...
