Edmond Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 If you worked in convenient stores all your life, like me (lol), you know that when a pack of Marlboro Light cost $4 and in the same store they sell a two-pack bundle of the same brand for $5, you know that something is fishy. Well the truth is that the "buy one get one free" on tobacco means that the company had an over excess in quantity of tobacco in their storage that was getting old and they wanted to get rid of it so they sell it cheaper than the regular pack. Is this the case with StarBuzz's new smaller packages? Does smaller pack generally means less flavor than the big one? Has anybody tried them yet?

NickReppinThe909 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 they actually are a little more juicy than the 250g's BUT the fact they are $11 and i can get a 250g for $17 doesnt make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 actually watched something on the history channel today about tobacco.about 20-30% of the substance in a cigarette is either old, outdated tobacco, or swept up off the factory floor.Now, back to shisha.I had bad experience with the 100g things of starbuzz. there was too much glycerin in them which made them taste soapy. this was the case with 3/5 of the ones i got.

I've smoked SB guava from a 100g tin and in the 2 sessions i've tried it, it does have a soapy taste to it. The guava smell is faint which wasn't what I expected based on the reviews. Do you get the same with the 250g tubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 i have not had a problem with the few 250g tubs i have purchased.I know others had have problems with smaller batches of tobacco as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickReppinThe909 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 yea SB is good for a quick session but the flavor drops off WAYYYY too quick and its not worth the $17 as opposed to AF which lasts hella longer and is only $8 at my local shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarCuzz Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 there is no tobacco brand that i have not smoked... i have smoked fusion guava and starbuzz guava...if your starbuzz is not flavorful, then you do not know how to smoke starbuzz...i smoke starbuzz for 2-4 hours, and it is flavorful... the minute 1 to minute 240...

StarCuzz Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 yes, i smoked the horchata today... so good!i am sorry -- but, even in threads not for starbuzz, you say "star(crap)buzz."you say "star(crap)buzz" as much as I say starbuzz... so, have you smoked starbuzz?if you criticize me, then you criticize you... you are just as guilty as me.

We don't need anyone talking about hookah or shisha. Before you know it House Democrats will be talking about taxing further more the hookah tobacco and hookah vendors (just what they want to do with any company that does well: McDonald's, etc.) and then the price of a StarBuzz 250g pack will send you in a buzz by itself! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very strongly flavored normally.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
