I have been smoking for 10 years and I agree, 100%. For those who want the best, Canary has it. I have smoked probably 2/3 of the types of charcoal out there and right now, Canary's are the best quality on the market.

That's all I use.

[Luke69]

Now that means a lot coming from sonthert. Maaad steet cred haha

[thecoalition]

uh...wow thanks? i never knew that some charcoal was better than other.

Check out some Coco Naras brah.

[erufiku]

I smell a company promotional spammer...like the past instance with coconara...

something is fishy here

did i miss something? i thought all this raving was due to the extremely positive smoking experience. either that or i missed out on some cash from coconara and provided them with a few posts of hidden advertising

Reggaenerator: ja to ciebie skads znam, co nie?
Everyone from the other side of the pond, can't you order coco-brico from online german stores? or does the fact that you're not in shengen make it too expensive?

[Anxiety]

I agree in principle - but there are alternatives....

I've used these for years and I think there ace.

JD

can you link a site to were you can get those? ive only heard good things about them

[Rani]

Here's the thing..... I use quicklights not only for the fact that I don't need to spend 10 minutes with my stove burner on high turning them to light them, but being round they re perfectly suited for center placement in a well packed round bowl. Plus they ash into a cake and don't end up all over the place. That being said, if a manufacturer made a natural coal in the same size and shape as a quicklight that would light faster on the stove because of it's size and shape? I'd be buying it by the kilos and I'm not talking about 2 kilos bags either. I'd be snapping it up in 20 kilos bags left and right. And that is indeed a not so subtle hint to manufacturers.

Wait, you do realise that it's impossible, right?
The whole point of 'natural' coals is that you don't have all the crap that makes QLs light up fast (ie, something similar to gunpowder).

Coconaras are similar in size to a 40mm QL but take a good while to light up proper.

Sonthert aka Mr. Tangiers: any ETA on the Lucid line?

Welcome. Your new so people are just sceptical mate, its just natural and its all good and once you carry on posting, no1 will question you at all. It doesnt mean just cause you havent been on the forum that you know jack shit about sheesha, thatd be naive but as no1 knows you (yet), its just a bit difficult to get people to believe and value opinions at the starting as you are a "stranger". But hey its all good, eric believes they are the best out there, i for one think they are pretty good too although i think coconut coals are as well. Its all good mate, kick back relax and everything will be just fine.

You should look into Belgian disc coals.

I really like Diamante Japanese coals... they're probably my favorite. But I think I might be the only one...

That's what people tell me. But in comparison all they sell here are Rolland Easy lights and other weird off brand crap. The Diamante last a decent amount of time (compared to the others around here) and ash pretty uniformly.

However, I did just order some coco naras, so we'll see how those go.

[manic007]

well...um..ok thanks for the input welcome to the forum!

They always worked for me, But I have to order these from America and fly them into the UK.... But they are a good, cheaper alternative to the golden canaries that you speak of.

Problem is they are quite a high cost and there are viable alternatives. Exotica is a good coal as are [I believe from reports here] coconara.

Smiley had coconut fibre coals that people raved about for a while.

But if you can afford canary coals.... Then go for it lol!

JD

Hey, why don't you try the TOM coals from shisha-world? The shipping is probably cheaper than from the USA and apparantley, according to our other european brothers, theyre the dog's bollocks.

+1 to that! Best charcoal that I've used. Dirt cheap to buy, 12 USD for 3 Kg. Lasts VERY long, little ash (but the ash is very light and fluffy, and therefore has a habit of getting everywhere ), no noticeable taste, etc.

But since Eric and JD recommends these Canary charcoals, then dam! I got to try some!!!

i can vouch for the belgians. they burn a little longer than three kings and don`t leave any odor or taste.

edit: i just ordered some zoghal ghaleb coals yesterday (also disc shaped). i`ll post a review about them when they get here.

[*HOT&SMOKING*]

Seeing as which we are all talking about coals....

All I can get my hands on are Soex QL's, Swift QL's and Hookah lites QL's....

Which of these three are the best in your opinion....I use soex ATM and IMO swift always explode....but have never tried Hookah lites and only just recently saw them....

thanks
