I don't have any experience with Nours. The one advantage I see Coconut Coals having over Nours, is the ability to break them. You could break of what you want with the Coconut Coals, and with ease at that. I've seen videos of people using finger coals throwing them against things to break off chunks.

So why were you getting tired of 3 Kings? They are the only thing I
have tried so far and I think they do ok. I smoke in my room which is
upstares from my kitchen and I dont think I like the idea of lighting
naturals and walking them through the house everytime I want to
smoke.

Another member here sent me his entire box of these coals because he
didn't like them, and I have to say that yes, they are nice for
breaking, but in my experience I was used to managing heat with typical
natural finger coals, and I have to say that these burn MUCH hotter, so
it wasa learning experience on how to use these without torching my
bowl.

As for the nat fingers, I haven't had a problem breaking them into
managble pieces. Sometimes I break off pieces that arn't the best size
on accident, but still nothing my buff-ness can't handle :)

I'd give these coals a rating of 6-7 out of 10 though. Good coals, but not the best IMO.

I actually like these coals better than nour fingers, maybe its because i started on japanese coals, but I find heat managment much easier with these. As for the odor mentioned above, I've never noticed any, but then again my sense of smell has been off ever since I forgot to "waft" in chemistry freshmen year

I also just got a box of these coals from hookahcompany with my order
and so far really enjoy them. Before these i had a bag of Olive wood
coals, i would def say i like these more, and although they do smell a
bit while heating up, they are nowhere near as bad as the olive wood
coals.
So far it takes me about 5min to get these coals totally red with my portable-coil hotplate.
Like stated earlier these have no effect on the flavor of the ma'assel
being smoked and once lit they do not give off any odor, that i've
noticed.
I haven't tried the nour fingers, but i would def. recommend these to someone wanting to try some natural coals.

The only good thing about those coals are that they sit easier on your bowls,but they burn too hot IMO. The fact that the bottom side does go cold and turn black sucks also. Once you try Nour fingered coals there is no comparison.

My nours seem to like the fall apart by themselves.cold= about 3-4"hot= 1.5-2"smoking=.5" nuggetsit just progresses naturally....kinda sucks when you're lighting them and trying to transfer them and they break in half spewing embers everywhere.when smoking they just kinda fall apart into half inch nuggets when trying to ash them.but i love them
