isis Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 i looked in the review section but dident find much. these different brands i can get my hands on, i was wondering if any 1 has anything to do with them ? and if there any good cheers(hookah charcoal .100% quality natural .lasting heat .no smoke no spark no smell .does not cause headache .cantains 88cubes)(The Lemon Wood Charcoals have been rated as one of the highest quality Natural Charcoal brands on the market, coming from the actual Lemon Wood Tree. These Charcoals were manufactured in the Middle East, and are specifically designed for smoking with the Hookah. Lemon Wood coals need to be lit on a stove until they are red hot. Lemon wood coals are the traditional coals that are used in al the cafes in Egypt.)(hookah charcal This is a kilo bag of pressed hookah coals by Rolland. The coals are shaped like long fingers that burn very hot and last longer than comparable coals. They are natural, without additives or starting agents.)some of the others they sell have had bad reviews mostly easy lite coals, i prefer naturals myself. so yeah just wondering if any 1 has heard or used these and what they thought about them thanx.

Bulldog_916 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The Rolland coals are really good, they just ash a lot, so you need to look out for that. Otherwise, I like them. Look at my review in the review section.I've had experience with the lemonwoods at hookah bars around here. They are good but you have to break them with a hammer or cut them. Worth it if you want different sizes to work with. Plus the bulk nature of them gives you a lot to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 top ones are ok at best. the lemon wood have no added taste, but are a little bit of a hassle to light. the fingers are pretty much of equal quality with the top ones. just different shape.

Balthazar Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The last one, is it really made by Rolland? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The abo's are what originally rep[laced Nour finger coals. Apparently there was a dispute among the owners. I've used those a lot and they are ok, but ash like a mofo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazar Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yup, I used them myself back in the day. Pretty much the only natural coals you can get in Norway. I was just curious because I've always seen people refer to them as "Nour fingers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingham Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I really like the lemon wood coals because like everyone else said, you get a lot of different shapes an sizes to work with. But unkess you have somewhere outside you can break them with hammer, I wouldn't recommend them. My new apartment is all enclosed in a building so I have to walk out in the street if I want to break up a couple pieces. Slight hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 those nour finger coals are the worst coals ive ever used. yellow ash, as soon as they ash over (5mins) they are unsmokable. terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazar Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yellow ash? I used them for two years, and they never ashed yellow. What I love about them is that they're really easy to get going and they last for a good amount of time. What I hate about them is the amount of ash they give you. But yellow ash?

Scoop Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 it would be spotted. it was mostly grey, with huge blotches of yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin13 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I agree that the Rolands are garbage. They were my first experience with natural coals and produced a ridiculous amount of ash. Stay away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't smoked them in about a year though, but when I smoked them I never had that problem. Of course, the amount of ash they give off should keep anyone who can get a hold of some other coals away from it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erufiku Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Well it all depends... I bought the natural Rolland coals for CAN$5/bag, so even though they ash a lot, I couldn't be bothered paying $3/16 cubes of coconaras (the standard US price, correct me if I'm wrong). Only other gripe I have with Rolland naturals is that if you leave them on the stove too long, they will break in half :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Never had that happen to me with the Rollands. I dunno. Of those three, get the Rollands, I liked them, especially for Tangiers. Even though they ash a lot, the heat management with them was EASY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) i used those natural coals once (my friend had a bag) lit up in 3min with a gas stove in my house. Wow they ashed worse then ever... within 5 min they ashed like a full block of an exotica.Ill stick with Exoticas / Cococs for now where ever I order my shisha and I need a fill up on coals which ever they have is what I get now...

IMO, bulk/lump charcoals are one of the best for hookahs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
