herbalsmoke Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 [u][b]DO NOT[/b][/u] [b][u]DO NOT!!![/u][/b] use luxor coals. For your safety and for other's safety. I got some as a free gift with a purchase i made. i had them sometime but decided i should try them today. They are finger coals shaped as pyramids and each finger can be broken into 3-4 pieces. When i lit them, they reeked. the smell made me light headed and i thought the smell was gonna kill my hedgehog or make my dog sick also. the smell should have been a sign not to smoke them. But me being me i decided, since i went through all the trouble of dealing with the smell i might as well have a smoke. With each drag i got light headed, i could hardly even taste the shisha. im lucky that im smoking just some cheap herbal cause i'd be pissed if i ruined a phunnel bowl filled with fantasia or something. Do not use luxor coals. even as a last choice i would rather use al wally instant lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have to second this, about a couple weeks ago I tried a sample and also had a similar experience. Aside from the smell, another negative is they break very easily, even when I tried to gently ash them I wound up with smaller broken up pieces of stinky coal. It's no wonder they're giving them away, even at their retail price of $0.99 it's not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmccoy90 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 1. Your hedgehog is adorable. 2. I've used Luxors a lot, as they were the only nats available locally for a while. Never had a problem. They were definitely fully lit? I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I still have some left over. I'll keep my eye open for problems if I use them again.

mushrat Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I want a hedgehog! As for the coals, as we have seen over and over again, many coals start of really good to get a following, then start cheaping out on materials and general quality. I have talked to a few folks in the industry and as you might imagine,, there isn't a huge profit margin on hookah charcoals. Especially the extruded finger coal types. The Luxors km has may be older, from a time when the coals were better, and Herbals may be a later batch where the quality was already slipping. This has happened with Exoticas a few times. Every time the quality slips and people tonice, it seems a new and improved version comes out that seems to be essentially the original good coals again. Such is marketing.
