Victim026 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 So when I'm in a pinch(such as tonite) and I need coals or shisha I go stop down by my local Middle Eastern market. I stopped by tonite to pick up some coals which are usually just the ripoff Japanese silver coals, but alas they had a box of something new tonite. It's from the brand Starlight which I'm sure many of you have heard of and although they normally don't have the greatest rep in the world i've got some high hopes for these. The box says they are coconut coal cubes and are 100% natural, made from coconut shells, burn 3x longer, burn odorless and tasteless, and contain no sulphur, they were also a steal at $4.50 for a box of 70. They look exactly like coconaras although they aren't all perfectly shaped like the coco's are, they do feel similar in weight though. I'll get a nice session in with some AF Cocktail later this evening with the Starlights and will have a review and some pics of shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victim026 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Verdict is in, and it's in favor especially as they cost a third of coconara's. They don't last quite as long as the coco's but still got about an hour out of a single set of coals. So if ya see them out for sale pick some up and try em out for yourself, I'll be making a formal review tommorrow mornin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazar Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Don't think they're coconara ripoffs. If so Coconara are ripoffs of Cocobrinco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
