[/quote] Price vs. Quality. Nakhla and desi murli are both much cheaper higher quality tobaccos Give them a try. The ONLY reason we sell Starbuzz in SA is because people like the tins. Not the tobacco in the tins the tins themselves. Edited October 15, 2011 by S3cretz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i wanted quantity I'd just spent 8-10 a pack and stock up on endless Nakhla.. the fact is that alot of brands smoke better than Starbuzz. Its one of those hype brands that pulls you in promising you the more fine cut tobacco with big clouds and fancy flavors when you first hop on the hookah wagon.... fact is there's better out there and I'd much rather pay for less of Fantasia at 200g or the exact same amount with Social Smoke at 250g and obtain a heck of a boost in flavor, cloud size, as well as overall customer satisfaction.
