hookaholic Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 so within the past six months ive seen quite a bit of new shisha brands popping up and i was just curious if anyone has tried them, what there thoughts are and if they are worth carrying in a retail hookah shop. a lot of coals have been coming on the market too. anyone have insight to this topic?

fuckthatvincekid Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Coals are constantly flooding in, as everyone tries to one up each other and make the cheapest coal possible, which is a terrible way to do it IMO. As for shisha brands, I haven't really heard of any new brands lately..? There are new flavors or lines in existing brands, but nothing entirely new worth mentioning (to my knowledge.)

Chreees Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's not really new brands, there have been some new ones, but none not really worth mentioning that I can think of. Rather there are new lines of already great brands... New ICE line from Nakhla, and new Birquq line from Tangiers. Also, Tangiers is working on a Burley line, which is Noir but uses Burley tobacco instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 well i know that the brands listed have at one point or another been mentioned as kind of crappy, more so paradise and king molasses. And the coals check out the review section i think there are a few in their of bamboo coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Let's put it this way... I haven't heard much of a hype about those brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 King isn't new it is a revival from a failed venture from a few years ago and will fail again if the product is the same. It's about the same quality as Jewels and twice as bad, if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If you guys want to know more about Burley, I have some Burley Cane Mint as well. I can let you guys know how it goes. Mush, should we make a section for the Burley line in the reviews section? I can post my review of Burley Static Starlight there, and the Cane Mint too once I try it (probably this week or next). I also have an experimental Birquq flavor... Guess I could post that one as well, if we're allowed to post reviews for flavors that haven't been released yet. Why I ask.

Coyote Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yeah I finally opened my CB-line. Its fantastic. It wasn't at all like I was expecting... to me it tastes like Zaghloul but with Tangiers flavour. But its much smoother. Definitely more tolerant to heat and the clouds are very dense and pillowy. Once I have a little more experience with the line I'll post a more in depth review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
