jonny_lech Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) I finally got in some more Starbuzz. Now, it's hard for me to go "yea, I'm gonna buy that", since for the price of 1 Starbuzz tin, I can go down to the store and get 4 times as much Nakhla. My roommate walks in and he goes "My God, it smells like blueberry muffins baking." No, that's just blueberry shisha. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways:1) Never harsh. I mean, this stuff is forgiving. 2) Always very flavorful. 3) Lasts for-ever. I can't wait to try it with the funnel coming tomorrow. I kinda wish it could give me a buzz, but sometimes it's nice for it to not. And I suppose I could always just mix it. Prudence demands I go to bed. Desire demands that I try the blackberry now.Oh, and I got an ice cold Guiness. Only way this could be better is if Jessica Alba came knocking and well....while I smoke.

anathema Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 well if it's 20 grams a bowl, it'd cost you $1.60 a bowl (at $20 for 250g).Say you smoke like 10 bowls a week, it's only be $16plus coals which I use 6 halves of quicklites which would be $1.70, for a grand total of $17.70 a week. Not a lot imo since you're sharing sessions also.I agree it's worth it but sometimes AF mint is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe how kick-ass Starbuzz is. Its like the messiah of shisha (hope i dont offend anyone with that). Gonna have to try that blueberry flavor out pretty soon.

anathema Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Well AF mint is like the most general mint ever.At first it smelled like Ricola cough drops, then it started smelling like brach's peppermint candies. When it's smoked, it just has exactly what you would expect from something labeled "mint."They're like $10 a 250g tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I agree completely! I buy nothing for mine except starbuzz. It goes right in my funnel with mod, lasts for hours, always very flavorful. Try the social smoke flavor if you like mint -PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 starbuzz has its good flavors. however the sessions never last that long for me. i honestly smoke away the flavor before its been that long. also some of the flavors are god awful. sour apple should be called "chemikills" along with a ton others.while i still love it like a stepchild, im slowly moving away from it. mainly due to price and discovering more tangiers flavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 if you like AF mint. try this combo.20% AF mint80% SB Peachsoo good I coudl go for some now. Maybe after work.I think that Peach, X on the Beach, and Orange are my top flavors right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 In my opinion, Starbuzz is way overpriced, even for the quality of smoke and flavor. I'll stick with Al Waha, Al Amir, and Layalina, cheaper, and in some instances just as good/better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmonk7663 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hey, what color is your Starbuzz Blueberry? Is it Green? Just wondering. I've tried it 2x so far and I haven't been to terribly impressed as of date.Thanks,mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Starbuzz dyes all their tobacco different colors. Have ordered two tins of the same flavor and one is dyed red the other green. Its a quality control issue with them, while I still love to smoke SB they have their ups and downs. I think you guys need to try out some Layalina. Preferably Watermelon, Raspberry and Peach.

jonny_lech Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 As I stated in another thread, I have *never* gotten decent flavor out of Layalina. Someone tells me that this is attributable to the fact that I buy it in 50g boxes. Maybe I'll put that to the test, but I've tried at least 7 or 8 different Layalina flavors with not much flavor there. As for Nahkla, that's my most frequent shisha because it's cheap. It's more prone to kicking your ass though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 've smoked several different flavors of SB now, and only 1 impressed me enough to want to purchase a tin (Peach, oh course).I'll stick to my Layalina, AF and AW... I was very disapointed with the cut/stemage/and heat issues I've so far gotten with SB. Same set-up w/ AF and none of the same issues occur. Oh well, win some, lose some.And JohnnyL, do try a tub of Layalina. I used to do 50g packs, then switch to a tub of teh same flavor and was very shocked at the improvement. Others 50g seems to handle better, but something about Layalina 50g'ers don't hold the same flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnick Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 SB is great but very inconsistent with batches. I got one guava batch that tasted excellent and bought another tin a few months later and it tasted like vomit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestormakhno Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The only problem I ever had with SB was it lasting. The bowl dies after two hours, which is obnoxious for SB's prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
