mushrat Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So I was lucky enough to have Spoon send me a few rolls he had.These things are GREAT! Light them like a finger coal, break it in half, set it on the hookah....SMOKE!Smoked Static starlight, nice heat control, thick disks, nice size...Gonna be ordering a few cases tomorrow to use in the bar. No more chopping up fingers for this Rat.http://www.hookahkings.com/Natural-Belguim...57-p-19816.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to get me a box when I get my MZ from SS in a few weeks. which one you getting? I may have to give these coals a try now!Not sure just yet... I keep flippity flopping around... then I look at that large green/gold Syrian that SS has and become even more confused... Just need to wait awhile, since I got that KM from the local shop just last week.But when I do bite again with SS, I'll give these coals a try... might just buy a few rolls.

They MUST be FULLY orange before using or they won't work properly.I use 2 per bowl, and usually have to add a quarter piece of 40mm coal every once in a while to keep the Al Fakher going. I am going to try normal natural wood charcoal they sell here very cheaply in the Czech Republic and report on how it works. Maybe a very cheap and good alternative.

gaia.plateau Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) These are even more expensive than they appear... compared to Nour or Exotica or Coconara, which are about $8-9 per kilo, these discs are $17 per pound, so really it's closer to $40 per kilo.Now if they can do the same job with half the weight, fantastic, they'll have cheaper shipping costs and that will mitigate their higher box price... but it says 100 pieces... if you need to use 1 full piece for a bowl, that's more than other naturals.Are they really 4x as good as other naturals?

Johnny_D Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think you can get it from shisha-world.com/.de They are good naturals [Naturals, or compressed non-QL's?] either way they have quite a high priceand i'll stick with my Japanese style and exotica [Or similar]JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
