Dunkel! Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) I got a sample of X on the beach from a friend and it was OK nothing to rave about. I would say it is drippy messy with juice and definately overpriced (if I had paid for it LOL)!QUOTE (sss8789 @ Jan 9 2008, 06:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Is is worth $20 for starbuzz...is it that much better that al fakher or any of the other brands? if so what is their best flavor?

iamscott06 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 They have some pretty damn tasty flavors.. White Peach FTW!! When im buying new brand i check out the reviews and get an idea of the good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I duno, i think the overa price should be lowered, but I'll pay 20 bucks for a few flavors.. Lemon Tea for instance... Mmmmmm. White Peach is good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 QUOTE (sss8789 @ Jan 9 2008, 02:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>any one else have a opinion?Well I usually pick and choose my fav flavors from dif companys. Starbuzz is like the candy flavors....there are some i like and some i dont like. But honestly its way way over priced, retail around $20.00 and in some places alot more, but yes it is good stuff.honestly i would hate to spend 20 dollars on a flavor i never tried and ended up not liking it. And its not like the 100g are any better..its 10 bucks for it, i can spend that 10 on something else and get 250g. My advice go to a lounge, sample some flavors there, or try some of a freinds..if you like it...then go buy it. i am sorry u didnt like x on the beach..i love that stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I like Starbuzz's flavors but like everyone's been saying, $20.00 is too much. The review section of the forum will give you a good idea of what's popular and what's not. I only picked up Starbuzz a few months ago, and before that, I was feeding into the hype. I bought 4 flavors, Sweet Apple, Fuzzy Navel, Blueberry Grape, and Blue Mist(Blueberry Mint), and I like all of those flavors. But being that they are $20.00 a pop, it's hard to make sense on buying 1 250g of 1 brand when you can get double the amount of two different brands for the same price.I spent $80.00 on 4 cans of Starbuzz... which ended up being more expensive than my new Khalil Mamoon hookah.

EvansLight Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I love starbuzz, but doubt ill ever buy any again. its good but im too broke to pay $20 for it. But i would love to get more, just not gonna pay that much for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfaltous Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Be happy you're not in Canada... the CHEAP tobacco here is $15 for about 40g... which is almost $100 for 250g. I recently discovered thats for Al Fakher... scale it up for the price difference to Starbuzz, and it would be around $150 here for a 250g tin (IF I could find it anywhere).

Canon Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) i should smuggle drugs(shisha) into canada..edit: added something to clear up any possible confusion Edited January 9, 2008 by Canon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 That's serious taxes!!!!! In Arizona I know where to buy Al Fakher for $7.99 per 250g tub and Starbuzz for $18.99 per 250g tub. You ought to come to the states, stalk up on the goods, and go back to Canada with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah I've been thinking about it but legally I can't bring more than 200g back with me at a time, and to do that I have to stay a minimum of 2 days out of the country (so no back and forths). But yes Canon, you should smuggle some shisha into Canada Nobody ever really checks people visiting the country, only returning. You could probably bring up a suitcase full and make yourself a tidy profit, I know I'd buy a few kilos off you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texico Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 DIE STARBUZZ!j/kI'm not a huge fan of Starbuzz. Granted, I've only tried maybe 5 or 6 of their flavors, but they've all been pretty average. They haven't done anything to stand out above the other brands in my experience. That could be due to the Starbuzz being my friends', though, since I have no desire to pay $20 for a 250g tin, so I don't get to choose the flavors I try. I like Al Fakher and Layalina personally.

Zildjian Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i love starbuzz. its VERY consistant, tastes good, lasts a while and i love it. but i pay less than 20bucks too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 starbuzz is mediocre.its above nahkla ill say that.but its over-priced, has very little flavor unless you prefer super sweet/perfume-y type smokes.ive tried all their flavors and can honestly say...i would never buy it.i stick to af, havana, and tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolatec Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 They have some good flavors... Lemon Tea as already mentioned, the Pumpkin Pie, and Peaches & Cream are my faves from SB so far.I seem to always gravitate back to AF Orange though. Probably my fave of all brands/flavors I have tried so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i love starbuzz. i also love al fakher but ive been reading about a lot of quality control issues with them lately.i dont smoke hookah very often so i dont mind spending the $20 per 250g.three tins of starbuzz can probably last me a year.

ZenSilk Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i htink that they have those flavors that you just can't replicate by mixing, like Peaches N Cream and Lemon Tea. You think you can, but you can't i only buy SB's different flavors, cause i know i could get something like Pharaohs Peach tasting basically as good as White Peach SB (with some basic flavor differences).

Ralleac Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) I don't think it's worth the price, but I pay it occasionally to get flavors that aren't offered by other companies. Edited January 10, 2008 by Ralleac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I got a tin of sealed White Peach so I'll post back later... any advice on packing/heat management for SB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 SB is very sticky, Pack it kinda loose. Very forgiving for heat. If using quicklights a 40mm should do. If using naturals, I split my finger into 4 and use 2. If using a phunnel then use 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfaltous Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 on phunnels i usually pack it in a bit tighter and throw on either 3 x 33mm quicklights or 4 pieces (1 'finger') japanese-style easy lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
