shisha fan Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i never noticed a chemical taste to begin with. 3 kings are the best quicklites in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammad Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Whats the date written on you 3Kings, I just recieved my order today from MNH not smoked using the 3Kings yet but they look the same, although I have to say the date written on them is May 2007, if yours were made more recently then maybe they have.

ASUSEAN1 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 wheres the date? cant find it on the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr!m Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It's printed right on the foil sleeves. The stuff I have now is May 2007 and it's pretty nice. No chem flavor, but also doesn't make the flavors stand out as much as the lemonwoods I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We have May 2007. I think thats what I have been smoking all week. I will smoke a fast bowl before bed time real fast since its going to be a slammed night so 2 hours sleep for me right now. I will save this and comment back.

MechAnt Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I guess I'll have to get some more 3Kings. The box I have (older batch, not THAT old) is rather soft and shatters relatively easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Devils Playground Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Okay someone came in here and pissed me off so I am still awake and sure enough these coals are as good as the old ones. lolSo Kudos for their newer batch also. Holly just said they taste a bit cleaner and smell cleaner also. Edited January 25, 2008 by The Devils Playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voski Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 mine are from november 06! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinspoon Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 expiration dates will be on the flaps when you open the box. some of the newer 33mm are on teh rolls itself whereas the 40mm will be on the box. I just picked up a case of 40mm and for some odd reason there was no printing on the rolls, they are authentic and burn the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booya Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i picked up a few boxes of the 3Ks a while back and they are may 2007 ones. i also found that they were better coals over all. they light better, burn longer and are better over all then the nov 2006 ones.
