mushrat Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 So, As most of you know i've been using exoticas since they came out or damn cclose to it. I've watched them go from so hard you had to use a hack saw to cut them to so soft they were shattering in the box before we even got them.The new improved exoticas are looking damn good so far. Much denser for longer lasting burn, tight ash (though its grey) and they are scored in 2 places so you can break them easier. I am only on my second box but they seem consistent so far. I can say at this point im quite pleased and can go back to recommending them without qualification. Lets hope this continues to be the case.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 thanks for the update mush, i love exoticas....so are the boxes different? how do we differentiate between the old and new if we order them online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 only 2nd box? or second case?keep us updated....i'd like to switch to exoticas soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdkhookah Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 This is interesting. I preferred the old Exoticas, the ones that had to be cut with a hacksaw. They were horrible to cut, but they burned forever. The last few boxes have been the ridiculously soft and didn't last long enough for an entire session. This is when I swore them off and went to Cocos. But if they are as good as they used to be, I'd be willing to give them another chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The Box I just got from H-S aren't scored. Guess they haven't cycled through to the new stock yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Told ya biatches!jp I'm glad that the quality is keeping up Mush, especially with the number of them that you go through I can trust your experience over the small portion that's my own. I'll take a picture of the boxes I believe are the new ones. Basically on the back they have "Exotica" written in red/white/black rather than the standard cursive black.

Jeff_T Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) Good to hear the quality is getting back up to par. I loved the old exoticas and used them most of the time. It'd be nice to go back to paying like $9 for a box instead of $13-14... Edited September 17, 2009 by Jeff_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well, emembering that the old ones started out good, the real question is how long will it be before these start to slide and they have to introduce the NEW new and improved exoticas.

I could also go to sunshine smoke shop on Auburn. We'll see when I'm done with this box of bamboos. Last time I was at Blow and Tell they had some sort of chinese quicklights and a box of russian easy lites. Not impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yea that place isn't my favorite spot but I dont know of alot of other smoke shops around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The Mediterranean Market on Fulton and Arden carries coconaras and starlight coconut and all kinds of other ones. I prefer the bamboo coals over the other 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
