Fusion Vs. Smiley's Sexy

[MAKCuMG]

With my stash of Starbuzz coming to an end, (probably about 2 weeks worth of smoking left max.) I am in search of a comparable quality of tobacco made by a dif. company. Flavor is something very important to me, more so than the buzz.

It seems that everyone is talking about Smiley's Sexy Shisha. I am at the brink of ordering a tub or two. I've also read very good things about Fusion, particularly that it is very similar to starbuzz and priced less.

Has anyone tried both? Which do you prefer? I am particularly interested in Smiley's Prickley Pear and Fusion Cactus Pear.

Thanks in advance for your insight. Edited May 2, 2007 by MAKCuMG

i dont really care for fusion cactus pear and i find that smileys prickley pear to be about 100x better. so far ive figured out fusion is hit and miss. only real flavor i like straight up from them is wildberry mint.

I have Fusion Cactus Pear and Mango, and I don't really care much for either of them. They have this weird starchy kind of taste. Can't really explain it... it's like a stale cracker or something.

I've tried Smileys Horchata and Bubbleberry (freezer and no freezer) and don't care for them so much either. The flavors seem very mild, simple, broad, flat, and even diluted, unlike the clearer, deeper, and more vivid flavors I get from Tangiers, Pharaohs, Nakhla, Al Fakher and (sometimes) Starbuzz. When I smoke Smileys, I get the sense that there is a TON of glycerin and a TON of very mild flavor -- this stuff often smokes too thick for my tastes, and I often get that coating of flavor and glycerin in my mouth that's too artificial and sometimes bitter to be tasty. I don't know... not my thing...

i personally like fusion tobacco, flavor isnt amazingly great, buts very smooth and lasts long. Ive tried guava raz and wildberry mint. As far as smileys i bought a couple jars but havent tried them but i see a lot of mixed results with smileys so i will report back as well

try both. I really enjoy smileys. you get very nice clouds with it and i smoke for flavor and clouds and the flavor is good.
