PhishPhood Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Setup: 22" MZ hookahRazan HoseMedium Phunnel bowlTobacco:Color: Very light brown, nice color which I havent seen in shisha before.Cut: Very long rough cutSmell unburned: Smelled more like Tea to me rather than the BlueberryWetness: Overall a pretty dry looking shisha, but the tobacco itself was very fresh and moist. Included natural coal: Formed into a ring disc type tying. I broke it up and lit it with a butane lighter and a quicklight coal which got it going really well. The coals had a nice duration ~45 mins for the chunks I used but they ashed like crazy.Now for the smoked quality:Smoke: Very thick great smoke. Not harsh at all. I threw alot of heat on to see what it could take an no burning what so ever.Flavor: The flavor unfortunatly was very underlying. If it got toned up alot I think it would be a great shisha. A friend said he tasted it a small amount although I did not.Duration: I smoked for a bit over an hour and this bowl EASILY had 2 more hours in it. Almost no charing at all, looked almost the same as when I packed it.My only suggestion would be up the flavor content of this flavor. It was very nice overall except for the lack of flavor... I prob would buy what I smoked for the fact that the smoke was of great quality. Nice job guys, I hope I can test for you again. I really enjoyed it.[attachment=1143:0225081649.jpg][attachment=1144:0225081649a.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisbeatz Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm no expert but here is what I found:Cut - LoooooooooooooooongMoisture - Seemed like it all soaked up into the shisha but it wasn't drySmell - I thought it was average. It was there but not really strongFlavor - Same as above. It was there but it wasn'tSmoke - AverageI got about two bowls worth and have yet to try to coals. I found they fell apart pretty easlly and have some smell to them when I burn a small chunk. I tried the first bowl without the coals so I'll try the next bowl with them.Overall I felt that it was an average shisha. Something I would smoke casually, but I wouldn't bring it out if I had friends over or went to a party. I think it could be a money saving type of shisha. Well that's if its a habit for you.

Snoopy1966 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I plan to smoke mine this afternoon. The cut seems good, no big stems. Not much blueberry smell to the tobacco, but I like the smell of it. So is this unwashed then if you are talking about a buzz? Yes please put me down for the Jungle juice too. Do we need to PM you again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to PM you again?This is actually washed, but I have found that some of the testers(thus far) have commented to me about the buzz...you don't need to pm again, I have the addresses...and I will send out later this week....i just found out some info about the samples..my guy who packed them..didn't know to mix the batch, so you all are just smoking the top of a 10KG batch that has not been mixed or stirred in 24 hours...so imagine what the real flavor actually tastes like..you guys are awesome...please keep the info coming, I am utilizing every bit to make this a much better shisha.

r1v3th3ad Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've got mine in front of me now. Waiting for later today when my ex brings my hookah over. So far: I like the cut except for the stems, some big ones...I like the moisture, its not messy like most shisha and also I like how you didn't have food coloring in it. Food coloring and the really gooey molasses annoys me just for the fact of having to wash my hands and the dye doesnt always come out immediately.I will be smoking with your coals and will be using a whole one.Questions, do you want me to pack it regular or use my foil phunnel?

r1v3th3ad Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 here is what it looks like, its just a regular bowl, forming foil to make it a phunnel bowl, I like using it so far, I just have to work with heat...it's different management since the shisha is surrounded by foil. My sessions aren't as long, but best buzz and flavor yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughest I've smoked and for some reason it worked better than alot of things I've had. It must have been a nice premium tobacco too cus the taste was great.I didnt get a buzz but then again I dont even buzz sometimes from Tangiers.I broke one piece of coal up into small pieces and used 4 small chunks about the size of 1/3 33mm QL. Even though they were tiny the duration was about 45 mins. It might have just seemed like alot of ash because there were so many pieces.I've got limited experience with natural coal but I really did enjoy these.. I didnt get any taste offa them, and once they were out I threw a QL on out of lazyness, which I tasted.Hope this answers your questions anything else just ask, and I hope I'm on the list for Jungle Juice.Edit: I would buy these coals. Forgot to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy1966 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Set-up Sahara Smoke Cyclone modified with a new stem I bought. Cold water in vase. standard hose..rest to followI have been smoking mine now for about 45 min. I like the smoke, very thick, easily got going.The cut was different but welcoming. I packed the whole sample in a Mod bowl. I have used 1 coal also so far second on its way now. I do like the coals, no taste, but very fragile coal to break, seem very solid after you light them. I do not get much flavor of blueberry, there is a hint of something. I like the overall taste of it though. I would be very interested to try more. No buzz either for me.
