Looks Like SB has stepped into the Coconut Coal Market.

And competitively priced? That's strange for them.

Yeah that's a shocker for me. I just made an order for a box, hopefully will get it Monday since it is Friday.

hypnosis coals are starbuzz's cheap japs. I have only seen them online on eBay.

Just an update... not a full review yet...but man they are stinky while lighting.

I finally did a full review. I can't review stinky coals until everyone in my house is asleep and usually by then I have a good rhythm going with Coconaras or Gaia Coals.

My question is... White ash would be pure coconut, the darker grey/black the ash, the more impurities....

WHAT THE HECK DOES BRICK RED ASH MEAN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Seriously has me worried. Does anyone have any Ideas??????

Not a big fan of these coals. I would smoke them if they were given to me, but as a last resort... the Red/Brown ash has me spooked.

3% ash?

Then you aren't smoking it right. Should end up with 100% ash.

Not smoking these any more if they have Iron in them.

So there is now CocoBuzz 2.0

 

I picked up a box hoping they are an improvement over the first version....well I just tried two sets last night.

 

First Impressions

 

First, they are Cubes.

Second, They want to be cubes really bad, but they are not very consistent.

Third, No red ash, there's a huge relief that I didn't waste money.

Fourth, The coals crack while lighting, and split while on the bowl or when you move them.

 

I love the resurgence of the Coco Cube, Genie and SB2, but I still miss the original CCN Cubes... they were the best. I still think CCM is a slightly different formula than CCN.

So perfect for Tangiers?  You can use halves without having to cut coals?

Hey ash did you also notice that the cubes are way bigger. The 2 boxes we got the cubes were much bigger then the original. They also burn hotter.big turn off

They are insanely big for cubes, but they burn super fast as well.

If they burn hot and fast, then there's probably a lot of air pockets in the coal.  Are they fairly light for their size?

I tried them when they first came out. Bought a small 16 count box. They are alright coals. Nothing really special as far as coals go. And they are a little pricey compared to what I pay for ultimates.
