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. wink.gif Edited by jonny_lech

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 $16
plus 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.

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. Oh yeah, gotta give you props for drinking a Guinness wink.gif

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.

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 smile.gif

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

Yep, all the reviews on AF Mint is what made me order a tub of it with my new hookah... Now, if all of that would show up on my doorstep... tongue.gif

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,

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.

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.


Yeah, I only smoke Al-Waha and some nahkla!!

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!

'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.
