djnick Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Just got my order in, 5 flavors. Revies of each flavor will be posted in this thread, probably tonite. Ordered through fumari.com. I got to say this is really expensive tobacco, probably the only time im going to order it. 5 100g flavors came out to $40 with tax and shipping. that means $40 for 500 grams of tobacco...no im not cheap!Next up is to try tangiers, which is probably equal to or better than is less expensive i will be heading to his place sometime this week and maybe he'll even let me smoke his new flavors. Anyways on to the pics. The bowls are shown in order of the stack, i have to say, i think i got shorted on the Guava, it looks as though its missing about 10-15g even after i mixed it, while some of other flavors looked more packed. I have to say each flavor smells EXACTLY how its described, they got it right on as far as the smell, as far as taste, you'll know tonite after i leave them out for a few hours to adjust humidity. Either way enjoy the pics until the reviews![img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02840.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02841.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02842.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02843.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02844.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02845.JPG[/img][img]http://www.technickz.com/djnick/fumari/DSC02846.JPG[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djnick Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 ======================= Fumari – Guava ======================= Setup: MYA Acrylic Base – 3 Hose. 2 Hoses pluged for testing purposes. Using metalscreen/windcover combo. Ice in base with tap water. Using Noor Finger coals Lightly packed bowl Appearance: Check pics. Lightly colored pieces, nice cut. However I was shorted bigtime Look at the left side of the container, its missing, yes that’s how it came, that’s about 10g right there Shame on mr fumari. Noticed some large stems at first glance, mixed it up and seemed like there weren’t too many more. Tobacco was medium wet, not sticky icky like AF Smell: Smells EXACTLY like Guava. However many people may not have ever had the fruit or smelled it Its hard to describe but it was right on money, almost wanted to eat it Taste: Very smooooooth! Taste was right on the money. I had my buddy from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Nice review, I got the guava as well and I think that'll be the flavor I try after Tropical Punch.You should call fumari and tell them. See if you can get something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnick Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 =================== Fumari – Sour Apple =================== Setup: MYA Acrylic Base – 3 Hose. 2 Hoses pluged for testing purposes. Using metalscreen/windcover combo. Ice in base with tap water. Using Noor Finger coals Lightly packed bowl Appearance: Check pics. Light colored tobacco, pretty nice cut, Glad I wasn’t shorted this time, did notice large stems again and first glance, had to pick out a few more. Again this medium wet tobacco, not syrupy like AF and Starbuzz. Smell: Smell was wonderful! Although NOT exactly like sour apple I have to say its pretty close, seems like a mix of a few things, couldn’t quit get it. Smelled very good though. Taste: Very tasty. Once you blow out you can feel the weird apply taste it has. Very different than double apple, id say you can taste the sour more than you can the apple. It’s taste a little like licorice when u get the after taste in your mouth, however it is very yummy and candy like. Buzz: To my surprise the buzz on this was medium, pretty good. After some fat rips, I felt a nice buzz that lasted a little while, its very good smoke, not as cloudy and white as the Guava but very clean, overall good buzz. Density: As mentioned pretty good size smoke, not huge puffy clouds like Guava, however I bet if I packed the bowl tighter and used more ice I could have achieved its maximum, overall this is more of a tasted than chimney. Summary: If you are in the mood for some candy/licorice tasting shisha, I recommend this one, while its more of the aftertaste than the apple, it still taste great. I bet if this was mixed with some double apple it would make for a really good combo, ill probably try that next. Final Score: 9.3/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can get something.[/quote] I might the whole order experience was kinda bad, however i didnt mention it. Paid almost $8 for shipping when i live 45 min away, and ups calls me and says the address is undeliverable, i call fumari and they said they had a typo on my address when they were makign the label so it delayed my order a full day, the day i called friends over to try to flavors. And then when i open the package i see i get shorted on the guava, but ill let it slide this time but if it happens to someone else they should definatly say something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 They seemed to do a good job with mine. I really liked the way they packed everything with a layer of tobacco, a layer of packing peanuts, a layer of tobacco, etc. I didn't pay for shipping since my order was over $60, which is a deal that ends tomorrow I think. If you're looking into fumari, you should get in on the deal before it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnick Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 wow mine was nothing like that, just a 5 X 5 X 5 box with all the shisha stacked in it. No penuts, foam nothing. Actually some of the box was wet, probably from the juices of the tobacco. I wonder what was up with my order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Mine was a rectangular box with a layer of peanuts,5 containers of shisha in a row, a layer of peanuts, 5 containers, etc. I had 20 containers. Nothing was wet or anything. Could've been the fact that I had 20 containers where you only had 5. Still it shouldn't have been wet or anything.

ataneja Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 great reviews, sorry to hear about your experience. my local shop is nearly as cheap as fumari's website is, so i'll just stay local. the guava sounds amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseSmoker Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Those prices are insane! But a good smoke session is priceless . Have you guys ever tried Layalina? Their tobacco smokes very good. I get about 5 charcoals out of it with proper rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornellius Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Oh god! I buy 1000 grams for 12$ and they are from original Bahrey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Price isn't that big of a deal to me. I don't smoke that often where I'll run through a brick in a week. I'll pay an extra few bucks to have a geat smoke session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 1000 g for $12 it is almost worth you buying a ton and I will buy you a ticket to visit Canada with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
