clickhea Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) i think most people like it but its way over priced. and they should change the name to STEMBUZZ... youd think for that much money, it would be almost stem free Edited November 22, 2007 by clickhea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDude831 Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 most everything I have read has been to the effect of "we only had starbuzz" I was curious because its my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Nothing is wrong with it, but the way i see it.. Why not just buy AF and mix it up to create SB flavors? Sb isn't very true to the flavor they are representing. Take XOTB for example. SMoke it 3 nights in a row, and you will know the taste of sunscreen if you havn't previously figured it out. Or Blueberry Grape. The blueberry is extremely overpowered by the grape, and the grape is very weak and not as good as AF White Grape. Or Pumpkin Pie. Yes, it's an amazing flavor, but if Sonthert were to somehow create a pumpkin pie flavor, SB would be raped the HELL out of business. The flavors are very fake and eventually become unsatisfying when you are a flavor guru as i am. It doesn't offer a buzz to all those Buzz-Lovers out there. When up close, the smell is sickening with almost every flavor, this is because of the fakeness and chemical aspects of the flavouring. I have been smoking only SB for the past couple of weeks. To make a long story short, it's sickening now. The fake flavors are unbearable to my senses. The onyl thing that keeps me holding on is Che clouds, which i must admit are one of the best. EDIT: And in regards to Clickhea's statement, the stems are much too common for 20 bucks. I have never found a stem in Tangiers or HookahHookah/Freak, which are much cheaper.

boulderkid303 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Starbuzz is the 2nd best washed brand out there. I prefer AF, but thats just me. SB does make some DAMN GOOD flavors!Strawberry-margarita is amazing, white peach, pumpkin pie, guava, mango, all of which are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anathema Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Starbuzz has the crisp non-nicotine taste.I don't care whether the flavors are represented realistically or not, as long as it's good to me. Though guava does have a realistic taste, so does canteloupe.edit: and the pineapple too but that fades quick.

HookahDude831 Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 I guess its all just a matter of opinion. AF is ok but I would prefer sb for the smoke and flavor I still get quite a nice buzz but I dont smoke as often as a flavor buff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tj154906 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I think it tastes like candy... which bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateNinja415 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 starbuzz was one of the first shisha's that i smoked, so it'll always have a special place in my heart, lol. I just wish it was a lot cheaper, b/c it has some great flavors (mmmmmmm, peaches in cream) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 SB offers amazing smoke and strong flavors albeit a little candy-ish/artificial. Its a great smoke for once in a while but every smoke it can get tiring and can all taste the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottomann Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) actually here in germany there's a real starbuzz-hype.every shisha-forum.de-user knows it, smoked it and only a few don't like it.i don't like it because of some reasons:1. the tobacco is washed ... no buzz (and i like the buzz)2. it's too expensive3. with the exceptions of a few flavors (e.g. guava and banana) the taste is too artificial4. starbuzz is for girls ... tangiers for men ... the last reason is not meant seriously cuottomann Edited November 23, 2007 by ottomann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known people who smoked shisha for years and they get embarassed when I show them tangiers because they can't smoke it all.... For starbuzz X on the beach is a girly flavour ill admit not sure about the others.I'm beggining to agree with some of you, I've got starbuzz X on the beach... this is my first starbuzz flavour and the more I smoke it the more I hate it? When I first got it.. it was fantastic now I don't bother with it Edited November 23, 2007 by amnite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Three thoughts:Starbuzz is a perfectly respectable brand, lots of people like it. There isn't one brand thats all things for all people. People have different tastes. I think its overpriced, too. The problem with X on the Beach, is that the primary flavor is a watermelon flavor, but it contains vanillin...like vanilla. This particular flavor seems to be non-soluble in water and builds up when you smoke it repeatedly. A long time ago, that was going to be my watermelon flavor, but that problem developed and I moved along to a new watermelon. That might be ZenSilk's "Sunscreen flavor".For a long time I have raved about Fumari's quality, but they have changed manufacturing plants in the past couple of years and I haven't tried their newer tobaccos, but I have heard disappointing reviews. I have heard better reviews about Starbuzz, but its not as good as I remember Fumari being...my inclination is that the quality of Fumari isn't as good as it was. I've liked Al Fahker, its distributed world wide, its got some great flavors, its reasonably priced. I would have to go with Al Fahker and then Starbuzz based on people's reactions. How many people say "I hate Al Fahker"? Almost none. You do hear people say "I hate Starbuzz." a lot more frequently. Fumari gets a lot of bad noise for quality control issues...from what I've observed. I really should try some. For unwashed Sham style, I would have to give Nahkla the nod. I hear a lot of negativity about all brands...Starbuzz, Tangiers, Nahkla, Fumari...but not much about Al Fahker...I think you will always find people on both sides of the fence.

RayVer Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 my only responce to this is Starbuzz is simple, it's expensive. $20 for a can of it when you cant get most other brands for about half the price. I do buy Starbuzz every once in a while but I do prefer other brands over it.I think Starbuzz is a great tobacco for beginners...no buzz which is a sometimes a shocker to new users and its easy to get it smoking right.

ASUSEAN1 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 too much money for what it is.. i can pay half the price for al fakher or layalina and that tastes just as good IMO. plus it is kind of hypocritical to buy/like starbuzz and not have PYH here considerin starbuzz owns it so i jus stay away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
