morssolis Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 the only place i have smoked hookah is the local hookah bar. they use standard looking bowls and what looks like the free mya hookah you get from hookah shisha but its taller. i am pretty sure they use starbuzz for the their exotic tobacco because they have flavors like code 69 pink and blue mist. as far as i know they are the only ones that have these flavors. when i smoke it though there is little flavor. blue mist had some but pink had almost none that i could taste. is this normal? am i expecting to much flavor or is it crappy set up? i know little about hookahs, the only thing i could think of that might cause it is because it has 3 hose ports and there is only 2 attached and maybe the 3rd is letting air in? can i expect more once i get my own hookah?

joytron Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 They probably just dont know how to pack/heat management. I suggest get your own, ask a lot of questions, and pack a lot of bowls. You will save money and get better sessions from the safety of your own home. Plus hookah bars generally require pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 i really wanted to say, "little to no flavor? from starbuzz? yep...that's normal." haha...just kidding!but, there should be a good amount of flavor from Blue Mist...so, i'd guess they bar doesn't really have their technique down...

mushrat Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I, going to say it's because SB is a low temp tobacco and trhey are using so much coal they are burning the shit out of it and ruining the flavour. Next time you go back take a picture of the coals. And get your own hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbayern Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Just because someone has the money (or credit line) to open a hookah bar, this doesnt mean they know what they are doing. Get your own rig, and experiment until you get it the way u want it..Dont listen to the starbuzz HATERS around here, its great tobacco.Make sure your SEALS dont leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 i fear i must say SB is a finew tobacco. A little pricey but no9n the less a good smoke. I guess my opinion is worth more than some folks as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus hookah bars generally require pants.If I ever am able to open my own hookah bar, there will not be a requirement for pants! There will be a need for blankets in the winter, but summers in Texas... no chance, no pants is perfectly fine. Underwear must be worn for the sake of not getting police involved for indecency, but being sans pants is a great idea.About the topic, I've had good sessions with Starbuzz, although it never has given me a buzz. I've had bad sessions with it too, but it's like all the other tobacco's, good if you do it correctly. I have one gripe about it: It's NOT good enough to justify how much more it is than something like Nahkla, because that stuff is cheap as hell and equal or better than SB (more forgiving for beginners too, I burned my SB the first time!) That's what I think about SB. I've had some great sessions at a hookah bar in Arlington, so I know it's not all bad, but it's not as satisfying to pay so much for something that can't beat out every other baccy.-Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 SMoke SB for the flavor, not the buzz, because, starbuzz is sans buzz but makes up for it in 2x the flavor than almsot all the other brands. Also, don't overheat it -- you won'tget the flavor they designed it for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
