Tyler Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I just got a new tin of Orange in and it does seem a bit more dry than usual, looking at the last remenant of my old Orange tin. Maybe they cut back on the juices since people thought there was too much and it leaked into their stem and caused rusting? I don't know, maybe they just had some issues in production?

Kapten Kanel Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I should really upload a photo of my starbuzz tins, damn my nakhla seems wet in comparison. Are the 100g tins dryer than the 250g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The flavor of SB is far superior to any other brand out there. Some people have trouble making it last as long as Tangiers and SB doesn't offer the same buzz as other brands, but if you smoke for flavor like me, SB is king.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I agree that SB has some DAMN good flavors and has become a bit of a whipping boy. I also believe the longevity of the flavors needs some tweaking. Flavor dissipates fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brand doesn't need tweaking in order to fix that issue ... the recipe needs to be completely changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 or that But the big clouds are nice too lol. If they could lengthen the flavor it'd be bomb but as has been discussed a million times already, so long as people buy it as is for such a high price they wont change anything.

To me, it looks more like you tried to lay it out as a fact, its the words you use.I believe the general idea on this forum is more or less - starbuzz = overpriced crap, this, combined with above, is why i made the "flameshield" comment.Many people will probably disagree with me but a forum is for expressing your opinion (simple version), if you do it like FSUReligionMan it doesnt work, you obviously ment well but dont take it for granted that people will understand that its an opinion (and with the words and sentences you used... gaaah its all a friggin mindloop)Now someone will probably misunderstand me and get all angry and shit Baah, why are we arguing when we could be smoking?

Sonthert Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Actually, the flavor fades quickly because of the their flavor profile/coordination. Its not a question of adding more flavor or glycerine...its how they choose to orient their flavors. Starbuzz isn't being cheap, its the way they choose to present and design their product. On the other hand, a company could decide to add less flavor and/or less glycerine. I remember some company doing that...it wasn;t Starbuzz...a really old, long since obscure importer...Abu Hitham Tobacco? I don;t remember...they started adding less flavor and glycerine and it cost them.LEts put it this way...you know how a lot of Cherry flavors taste nasty and chemically at the beginning of the bowl? Thats what happens when you add too much flavor to hookah tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SB has a handful of great flavors, but personally I find most of their flavors to taste really artificial. I'd put both Nakhla and Tangiers above SB taste-wise, but that's probably because I prefer the realistic, less "sugary" taste.In a earlier post in this thread somebody asked if SB was put down just because it wasn't a middle eastern brand, then went on to talk about the price factor as something that's not attackable because he could afford it. To the first claim, Tangiers is probably the most popular brand on this forum and it's an American brand. To the latter: if you can afford it and love it, that's great. But when comparing different brands most people take the price factor into account, regardless of whether you're talking about shisha or a car. SB is often more than twice as expensive as other brands, and considering the short life of the flavors that's going to be a minus. If you smoke for a short amount of time and have a lot of cash, then I guess it's a great brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowspeedchase Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm a little late to this party/war but I like SB. Some of the flavors come off a little too "sugary" for me, but in general I like the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
