LuxOR541 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 [b]'s Review: *Havana Banana Honey *[/b] [b]Setup:[/b] [list]Large egyptian [b]Bowl:[/b]ceramic [b]Hose:[/b]60 inch leather hose [b]Coals:[/b] 2 1/2 Golden quick lights, 1 at a time,then added a half near the end. Started at the edge and moving around the bowl clockwise, then to the center. [b]Screen/Foil:[/b]household foil. Holes made with bamboo skewer and lots of em. [b]Liquid In base:[/b]Eugene Oregon's finest city tap water (our water is actually really good.... [list] [b]Cut:[/b]fine cut, much like AF but I did not see any stems. Really sticky. [b]Smell:[/b]The unburned smell is deceiving. it smells like severely over-ripe bananas. All this changed once lit. The honey element was reminiscent of fresh clover honey, and the banana had a very fresh fruit aroma. Overall the room smelled like a big banana daiquiri. [b]Taste:[/b]The early puffs had an overwhelming flavor of fresh honey, with very little banana. After about 5 minutes the flavor started to balance out. More intense flavor than the Al Fakher Banana-Milk, and way more flavor than romman banana, which to me has aroma, but no actual flavor. As time wore on the flavor became a littel less banana and more honey, but not dramatically so. All it took to refresh the flavor was to move the coal. [b]Smoke Thickness:[/b]The smoke started off thin for about five minutes. Once the coals had time to do their thing, it was full on cloud action. I had good luck with maintaining thick fluffy smoke as long as I kept the coal from sitting in the same area too long, and shook the burnt ash off of the coals about every 15 minutes. The smoke never got harsh unless I stopped paying attention and let the coals sit in one place too long. [b]Buzz:[/b]A mild light headedness. [b]Duration:[/b] 1hr 45 minutes. Overall I'd rate this a 9 out of 10. If banana is your thing then this may be the perfect banana tobacco for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haunt1 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Havana Banana-HoneySmell/Flavor: Strong sweet honey smell out of the package. Cut: fine, but mostly stems. Sticky with HoneySmoke: Weak. Only got a small amount of smoke going.Buzz: NoneAmount(approx)/Duration: Full bowl, about 45 mins.Hookah Type: Egyptian Pharoh 30", 2 hoseBowl: Combo Bowl Foil/Screen: ScreenCoal/Amount: 1 Golden Liquid in Base: Water and IceOverall satisfaction (scale 1 to 10): 5/10. I felt like I was smoking nothing but Honey with this flavor. I could have stretched it out another 30 mins or so I would guess, but I had to bail on it at the 45 min. mark because I couldn't stand the taste any longer. There was no banana taste that I could detect and the smoke was really mild and did not billow like I prefer. Unless you really, really like Honey, I would avoid this. I'm going to mix what I have left with other flavors and I have no intention of purchasing this in the future. I have some Havana Mixed Fruit and Sweet Melon still to try. I hope it's better than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Havana Banana & HoneyHookah: Tokel Tuğralı Bowl: Kasbah Mini PhunnelScreen/Foil: Reynolds Heavy DutyHose: NammorCoals: CoconaraBase Liquid: WaterAppearance: Obliterated PulpNicotine: 0.05%Base: MolassesSmell: BananaTaste: Banana & HoneySmoke: Good CloudsBuzz: NoneDuration: 2 HoursPurchased From: Hookah-Shisha.comOverall: 2/10 This could have been decent but when it mixed it just seemed weak. Havana should have just kept these separate if it couldn’t produce stronger flavor. It’s a sweet banana flavor whenever you get a taste of it.
