Fouda Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I do believe stuie has legit complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have some packs of 16 piece ones I found under some Tang, that I bought probably 2 months ago. The smoke fine. That Red ash... that's legit... it's awful. They stink bad when lighting, and they don't last near as long or smoke as well. Why I hate Coco Buzz coals. I'll take AF coals to the new CCN boxes I have been getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah, I don't doubt Stuie one bit. He is one of the legit complainers. His complaint makes sense and I have seen it before. Sorry Stu if my previous post seemed to doubt you. I was talking about those folks over at other forums who talk shit about CCN just to make another coal brand seem so much better. Either way, I wonder what is up with the red ash and your bad boxes. Have you contacted Coconara about this? I still don't get the "setting aside bad coals" thing, though. Coals don't have to be a perfect shape to smoke well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have used CCN and Cocomazaya's exclusively for a couple years and have never had a full bad batch. I have come across a few coals that just kind of sputtered out and died, but that was extremely rare. I hate that they are possibly losing consistency and quality. Reminds me of exoticas.

Fouda Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I always confer stuie's reviews before I buy something. Weather it be coals or shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Same here, Fouda. Click- Besides 3 boxes of Razans and some pretty awesome AF nats Jay sent me 2-3 years ago, I too have been using CCNs and CCMs (more so CCNs) consistently. Never have any problems.

Stuie Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 I am gonna wait a couple months and buy another round of CCNs from a couple places. Same thing happens again, I will contant them. Honestly I can say They aren't completely worthless and bad batches happen. I smoked through 3 boxes of CocoBuzz... because I just can't waste stuff. So I was hoping for confirmation of bad batches or consistently bad... seems like bad batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMacQuillan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I hope it was just temporary problem. Any experience since then? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I too only use CCN. My local shop only carries the CCN cubes but I've yet to have any issues from them. Just recently in the past week I bought a box of 108 and 16 and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I also know that the shop received the shipment a few days before I bought them because they were sold out before. So... I hope it was just a bad batch and they're not changing their formula.
