ramsizzle Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) I just got these at a local shop for dirt cheap and i was wondering if any one has tried them. I'm used to the imitation jap coals which are decent but if these are any good for the 4 bucks i paid ill definitely go back and just buy up all the coal Edited January 12, 2009 by ramsizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLazyRussian Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hmm, I've never heard of those before. You'll have to tell us how they taste and how long they last. Seems like a good deal if they aren't shitty coals.I tried goin to hypnosistobacco.com but it looks like that site doesn't exist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasHookah Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Haven't seen those coals before. Let us know how they turn out. Might have to try out a box to see if they would be good for the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantastik Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I agree with the poster above. I bought these as temps for when my exoticas came in, and these weren't that bad. Never took too long to light, and lasted a decent amount (45-ish minutes) As far as taste goes, I never tasted coal during my session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColibriDon Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've been debating on trying a couple of their 50g sampler packs of some of their weird flavors--Lady in Red, sounds like a Maraschino Cherry. As far as these coals go, if they work as well as Canary coals, I may have to pick up some sticks to do a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyrayas Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 i use them a lot. they are pretty good. they don't have a taste so that's good. they don't light very well on top of other coals and they take a little longer to light on the stove or hot plate. they work best on a large phunnel bowl. on a medium bowl you really have to watch it or it can get hot. they are really good for the price. i would recommend them.

Sonthert Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 They look like Syrian Japanese-style bricks. Could be Canaries (as opposed to Golden Canaries) or something like that. I haven't had a lot of success with Syrian-type coals...lots of sulfur, taste BBQ-y. They have the same "spray" finish on them. Good Japanese coals have their coatings baked on. Spray coatings are usually just paint. Japanese use a metallic mixture with some accelerants thrown in for good effect. Maybe these are the exception. I do seem to remember, like maybe 9 years ago, there may have been some good Japanese that came 3 bricks per bar...Yes, Hypnosis is the Starbuzz spinoff I believe.
