Different Tobaccy Cuts Of Fantasia

[kvtaco17]

I knew for a fact that there were two different cuts but low and behold as i opened a new can of Mon Cherry I discovered a new cut! it was fine and veiny like starbuzz...

It smokes just like any other cut it was just odd to find another variant... why do they do this to us? lol Edited December 1, 2008 by kvtaco17

I have never seen SB that looks like that... that's more like AF's newer cut. The top one is more like SB. The fine cut is like Fusion with less goop.

Keen eye. To me the first two pictures look the same, just in a different color and the second is more densely packed.



But I've only tried a couple different types of Fantasia and didn't pay much attention to the cuts, though I'm pretty sure they didn't look like picture 3.

My thoughts exactly.

That said, who knows if they only have one location to make it, or if they cut the tobacco themselves even. With a phunnel (or foil phunnel) it doesn't make much difference usually.

The first one is the old long cut, the second is like newer Al Fakher, the last is just like the tin of starbuzz i have lol

Not a fan of fantasia personally i find the cut can be very variable. And it seems to burn a lot easier then other brands of shisha? I stick to using a bit of the pink lemonade to mix with other brands of shisha.

i do the same thing i only smoke some of their shisha cause they got wierd flavors and really sweet flavors like gingerbread and carmel but it does burn a little to quick

I've been able to get a good amount of time out of their baccy like last night that mon cherry lasted 90min in my phunnel... and that because I chose to stop it probably had another 20 min left...

I'm surprised at the comments about burning Fantasia. With the weather up and down heat control gets more "iffy" and Fantasia is my go-to at those times because it seems to love heat. I have yet to burn a bowl. And goodness knows I've burned at least one of every other brand!

I concur BohoWildChild, never had an issue with burning Fantasia... to me its one of the easiest to manage...

Fantasia takes close to as much heat as Fumari can.

Half of the jars of Fantasia I've tried have had a very fine, easy-to-use cut while the other half has huge leaves and a ton of stems. The latter half is a huge pain in the ass to prepare and the price along with the inconsistency has really pushed me to other brands.
