The price doesn't justify the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 i have no idea. Buy hey, you can 300 grams of AF shisha for like 9 bucks off PYH, that's like, 600 grams of shisha for the price of just 1 can of SB. It's really decisions-decisions. I think SB is worth the extra 10 bucks. But not all flavors. Granted, they are the only ones hwo make a Non-shitty Pumpkin Pie, and it's good, but it also could be better..

RayVer Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) personally I think starbuzz is a good "social" smoke. Anytime I have guests over (especially for new ones to hookah) I put in starbuzz because it is pleasing to someone new to it. Not all ppl like the buzz that stuff like AF will give you, especially people smoking for their first few times, although there are exceptions.I barely ever smoke Starbuzz on my own.

TaqseemHookahs Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 We are not connected in any way. And Please do not Judge Tonic based on other tobacco brands until you try it your self. When we say Premium we mean it. Tonic goes through at least 5 extras steps in manufacturing to assure quality, which other companies do not.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Tonic Says Made in HKJ, whereas Starbuzz is produced right here, in California. With VIRGINIA TOBACCO.HKJ = Jordan.Wake up people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayVer Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Bobby regardless of that, have you seen this product? Its the same can, almost exact label, same packing inside the can and the shisha looks the same....and i'm not saying it is the SAME but there are sure a lot of similaritiesregardless of all of that the bottom line is it smokes good, good product so farQUOTE (Bobby @ Oct 18 2007, 06:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Tonic Says Made in HKJ, whereas Starbuzz is produced right here, in California.

I'd heard they only make a few here, the rest in Jordan, but since they make some in the US they lable it all that way...Have I been mis-informed?

Victim026 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well I kept promising a review and then ran out of time so I figured I might as well actually do it now.Tonic Sour Apple Smell/Flavor: Smells like Double Apple with a tiny bit of something else that's sweet mixed in/ Cut: Very fine and very very juicy just like starbuzz or fumari Smoke: Decent sized clouds, it wasn't too difficult to get a whiteout although I have seem much better cloud wise before Buzz: Wow ton's of buzz, usually I smoke 3 bowls of Al Waha or Layalina before I get a buzz but this hit me on the 5th drag. Amount(approx)/Duration: In a SS Bowl It smoked 45 minutes, in the medium phunnel we got a solid 2 hours before it went south.Hookah Type: 28" SS Egyptian Bowl: SS Bowl and Medium Phunnel Foil/Screen: Reynolds Heavy Duty Single Layer Coal/Amount: Starlight Coals 3 pieces for SS bowl, 4-5 for the Phunnel Liquid in Base: Ice Water 3/4" above the bottom of them stem Overall satisfaction (scale 1 to 10): 8/10 I'm not a apple or double apple fan at all. In fact I despise apple flavors more then anything in this world, However, this shisha definetly changes things quite a bit. I didn't only just like this flavor I absolutley loved it and I'm definelty gonna order more when it goes up on sale. It will now join the ranks of my go to smokes, even though it doesnt' give quite the clouds I look for like Tangiers or Starbuzz it's damn close. Props again to Tasqueem for sending out these great free samples, it's a great way to show your customer base you really do care and it ensures you'll be getting my money in the future.

Bobby Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Yes, I have seen the can. Wael showed it to me. Yes, he has a number of different flavoring companies. The tobacco is from here though. The cans are not hard to get at all...at least if you know about anything in that area of trade. He had many fragrance bottles he showed to me, no i'm not going to talk of his business, but it all depends on the flavor. He's smart for NOT COMPLETELY outsourcing, let's put it that way...

high_society Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I finally got the shisha from my parents house. Smells good hope to smoke this weekend after midterms. One thing though I wish the sticker they put on the box that it was shipped in was put in the box so I could use it. Anyone else agree? ( I know this has nothing to do with the tobacco) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
