ApoC Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Got 3 tins of starbuzz flavors:Spearmint: my new ultimate favorite shisha, extremely smooth and clean smoke, very thick smoke and very tasty, has sort of a spearmint-vanilla taste to it, very enjoyable. mixed VERY well with other shishas.Strawberry Kiwi: Lots of flavor, very smooth and sweet, reminds me of the best of al-fakher and al-amir stawberry flavors. smoked very smooth and clean as well.Orange: tastes and smells like orange tic-tacs! very tasty, a definite winner, also smoked really smooth with an expected bite for the type of flavor, yet not harsh in any way.Overall, the starbuzz flavors are top notch quality, the cut is PERFECT, very few stems, the honey base and flavor/color is perfect, I would change absolutely nothing about this shisha. double bagged in small steel tins which is ideal, they take up less space than most shisha containers and theyre easily oraganized. I'm very impressed with the overall quality of the smoke, tobacco, and packaging, I will most definitely be ordering another 3 pack very very soon, no doubt their other flavors all kick ass!

Seandoo Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I agree...I had never heard of Starbuzz until last week. Apparently my friend who works at a hookah lounge/cigar shop said they got in some Starbuzz that was pretty amazing. I picked up some watermelon and some raspberry at a more local shop and holy crap...yeah it's good stuff. I believe I've had better watermelon but it could have been the hookah that it was in (not mine so I'm not 100% sure of how recently it was cleaned etc), but it was pretty tasty. The raspberry, however, was incredible. It tasted similar to the blue slurpee from Seven-11. Check the stuff out if you ever get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoC Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 just placed an order for raspberry, rose, and cappucino (and some nice olive coals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 olive coals?? interesting.. be careful with those coffee flavors - they really tend to stink up your hookah/hose for a long time. i did hear though that simple green clears bad smells out hookah pretty easily so i picked some up last week..but i have no idea how to get a strong scent out of the hose. anyway let us know how they taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoC Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 thanks for mentioning that, ill be sure to use another hose with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 WOW i see it online for 19 dollars for a 250 gram tin!? Did i just find a horrible site or is it actually that $$?? I am weary to spend that much on a tin of shisha for that price i could get almost 5 250 gram packs of nakhla or al waha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 remeber, social smoke has a hookahforum discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 But yes..thats the price. Use it spareingly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah I haven't fond it cheap anywhere either...but it's worth the money if you get a good flav. Yesterday I picked up a vanilla Starbuzz and it was pretty awesome...tasted a lot like either marshmallows or rice krispies treats =) very sweet tasting! We get a discount at an online site?

mushrat Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 why yes sean... Socialsmoke gives us 15% for entering hookahforum in the discount code area.. shows up right before you pay and submit i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Holy crap thanks for the heads up! I usually pick my stuff up in Huntington Beach since I usually get hooked up (no pun intended), but it can be a bit of a drive if I'm not out there for any other reason...and I was looking for a few minor supplies they're out of such as screens instead of foil, as well as an ice compartment. Good to know that someone out there's looking out for us, I'll go ahead and check the site out. =) my hands still smell like marshmallows from yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 oh yeah, the smoke from starbuzz stuffs is super duper thick, much like the gs af esk. i've found that packing a bowl only 3/4 full not only makes this expensive treasure last more bowls, but you'll never have the tobacco burn if it's not touching the foil..and yeah if you get the heat right, people will start getting pissed at you if you happen to be playing poker while smoking (nobody will be able to see their cards...had that happen once...)

HookahDuck Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Im definatly going to try the spearmint. Thanks for the reviews!!!There was a thread about Olive wood coals a while back. As I remember it, they are made from the pitts of olives- not the wood itself, and arent the best idea to smoke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApoC Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 socialsmoke sells 3 cans of starbuzz for 45.95, plus you get 15% off with our discount code, and thats off the TOTAL, after shipping! how excellent is that? and their shipping is fast and cheap, even for me in canada! excellent place to buy shisha thats for sure.

PipeSmokeMcGee Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 whoopty doo, my 100th post! I've been eager to try Starbuzz, as I have heard nothing but great things! Unfortunately, I'm an 18 year old highschool student who doesn't exactly have a magnificent cash-flow. I just can't afford to pay $19.00 plus shipping for 250 grams of shisha! I really wish that Starbuzz could offer samples direct from the company, or at least have SocialSmoke to sell smaller 50g containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Pipe: I'd get together with a few buddies who like to come over and smoke all YOUR stuff all the time and get $5 donations toward supplies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PipeSmokeMcGee Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 mush, i'm not talking about handouts. I was just suggesting that they sell smaller packs, similar to al Waha or al Amir who sell 50g packs. Just a thought. I'd like to try it but I'm poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methodical13 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 [quote name='mushrat']Pipe: I'd get together with a few buddies who like to come over and smoke all YOUR stuff all the time and get $5 donations toward supplies...[/quote] Good idea! I wish my friends weren't such freeloaders. I've gone through countless packs of tobacco for the hookah and a few bottles of liquor. Next time i need to take donations, and tell it's going toward their next hookah experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 pipe: wasn't suggesting a handout..was just saying you probably have the situation many of us who own the only hookah among our friends who like to smoke it have. Our friends LOVE to smoke, and since it's OUR hookah, its OUR Ma'asell they always smoke... Hit THEM up for donations toward the "Party Ma'asell Fund" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 hahaha yeah it is a nice idea. of course it's not being stingy or anything because you all have very valid points. it's funny...my friends started offering to pay for some supplies and stuff since i always have them over for some good hookah (that often beats the Hidden Cafe that opened last year locally...i'm very thankful for all the tips i pick up here so i can pack a mean bowl ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 good call mushrat...you've definitely got an idea. you guys have friends that have popped out of the woodwork when the find out that you have a hookah? man, what a pain! i hate it when they only want to hang out to smoke hookah and then smoke all your cash! man, i guess i could set up a tollbooth system!haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Just ordered some Starbuzz (Vanilla, Kiwi Strawberry, Spearmint) - hopefully I find it as good as everyone makes it out to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EviL333 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hey SeandooIm from the same area as you are. Well I usually live in Yorba Linda, but going to college out here in Riverside right now (UCR). When im at home I usually get huge discounts at a few different places. The one I like the most is some place called Caravan Trading Imports or something...Most people have seen their eBay store and seen all the hookahs they sell etc. If you want shisha, accesories, or even a new hookah they will hook it up really cheap. All my egyptians I picked up from there for way cheap, and they are the best hookahs I have hands down. I have 7 different hookahs I smoke out of so yea. Btw how old are you Seandoo? and where do you go to school? I went to Esperanza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
