Starbuzz Question


Recommended Posts

I've read reviews on the forum here that state it tastes good etc. I purchased the large tin of strawberry, and it is dripping in juice. I tried smoking it 3 times, and every time it had no flavor, and the juice was so thick it turned my water a deep red color almost instantly. I also tried drying it out with a paper towel, and this didn't do anything either. Can anyone honestly say that starbuzz is good? Maybe i'm just spoiled with all the turkish, egyptian, and other middle eastern goodness, but I haven't found any good american stuff.

I see your avatar is a stargate, is that what you're using?
What kind of bowl do you have?
What kind of coals, and how many?
What are you using for a screen?

Not sure if have to aclimate starbuzz or not, but did you?

Damn, i couldnt agree anymore. Nothing tops the middle-east shisha. The only great American shisha i have smoked is Tangiers. Dont wast your time on starbuzz (white peach is exception).

Alright, I think I must be retarded, but I DO NOT think Starbuzz is easy to smoke. Any other tobacco I can get fat clouds really easy, but it took me like a few sessions to make starbuzz smoke well. Now it makes bigger clouds than the rest, and tastes better, but is still very heat tempermental. Does anyone else experience this?

Actually Starbuzz is made in Jordan, same factory as al waha and Tonic. Apparently they make one or two flavours in the US and then out made in USA in the rest of the tubs anyways.

As far as the strawberry, I've had 5 different brands of strawberry and I have YET to find a decent one, though I have not tried SB. I'm thinking its just a hard flavour to get right. I have some Tangiers Cool Strawberry on order...I'm trusting Eric on this one..... unsure.gif

The best strawberry i've ever had was serbetli. I got it in turkey, and although it's very sticky, it tasted great just like strawberries. I had my friend pick up some AF strawberry, and plan on trying it this weekend. I don't have much expectations for it, but can only try.
