I was reading through all of your coal reviews (very helpful, thank you! Sadly I already bought some Diamante ) but I'm confused by this one compared to the [url="http://hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3218&KW=coal"]Red Lion[/url]You say that the Red Lion is "The best Chinese coal on the market, hands down", however this one scores considerably higher. Also, I can't find this coal for $12, but $15 still isn't bad for 96 peices.I'm really just interested on why you choose the Red Lion over the Golden.(sorry for the incredible 4 month bump)

These are Japanese, Red Lion are Chinese. Prices have gone way up in the past six months, too.
