Nerdy Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 5star is carrying coconara tobacco. Is this like an April fools joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 There's a banner on Coconaras site saying they make it, but you can't buy directly from them and no info on it on their site. Seems Legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What more can be added to the hookah tobacco industry? Hasn't it all been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSmokes Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 What more can be added to the hookah tobacco industry? Hasn't it all been done? More competition....better prices (hopefully)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 people will buy it because of the name. It will make them money because of how much it cost to make the stuff, plus they have tons of moeny from thier coals so why not make more doing something else? If they are smart it would be something like nak or closer to AF, but chances are its like nirvana or SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Local store has it 100g for $8.50, which can suck my ass. Friend bought the peach and said it reminds him of AF peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 That's probably because it is AF Peach. I wouldn't doubt if this was just repackaged stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Well, this really shows how the rich get and stay richer. Build a name and market everything thing you fucking can get your hands on, even if that thing has nothing to do with you or your presence. Now, granted coconara is in the industry. I just find it a bit funny that the decide to go into tobacco now of all times. I mean, their coals are being knocked off and if the rumors are true of the AF rebranding, then they are no better than the person(s) knocking off their coals.

CJ Rastian Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Ive tried both "sun of a peach" and the Orange swirl one they make both are really good flavor wise. I have noticed that it doesn't last very long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 That's probably because it is AF Peach. I wouldn't doubt if this was just repackaged stuff. I have no doubt that's it's just another brand repackaged. Like I mentioned, there's not a lot that can be added to what's already available on the market. It makes financial sense though... why reinvent the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 People claim repackaging of AF. People can also claim that oranges are called oranges because they're orange but I think orange is called orange because oranges are orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't see them just repackaging, maybe the store you went to did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Everything is just speculation at this point. Fact is though this just came up out of nowhere. The tobacco is most likely made in Jordan, where many brands come from. In Jordan it is like hoses out of Egypt I believe- A lot of hookah tobacco is made there and you can just slap your name on it. Same thing with hoses from Egypt- One company (maybe more?) makes the various hoses we all know and love (Nammor, Razan, Narbish) but they make them different according to the retailer's choice. I suspect the same is going on with tobacco, more frequently than we think. But again, it is just speculation on my part... And yes, storefronts do often repackage tobacco, which is illegal...

â€On Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Okay, so, I picked up 7 different flavors that CCN offers in their tobacco. I went for the oddball flavors mostly, as that limits the chance of repackaging. Banana Split, Pinkie, Copa Cabana, Sunny Moon, Orange 'N' Cream, Peach, and Sun Of A Peach. I have not yet smoked any of these yet, so this opinion is based solely on smelling them (without cutting open the package, just opening the cheap plastic screw off lid...plenty of smell in there), so this isn't fair at all, but this is my first opinion. -Banana Split smells like really really really cheap gummy banana candy. Remember those squishy, marshmallowy sugar coated bananas and strawberries you could get years ago (a few of you might)? They are like that, only way cheaper smelling and much more of a chemical smell. -Pinkie almost made me throw up. I don't know what the fuck this one was supposed to be, but it smells like puke and hot farts, that someone has somehow made solid and then threw pink candy sugar on. I am literally never going to open that lid again. This shit is going in my "do not even open in case of emergency". -Copa Cabana is just cheap shitty coconut. If you like cheap shitty coconut, this is right up your alley. -Sunny Moon is a lemon mint flavor. It smells like a knock off brand of lemon cough drops (you know, the stale ones) with a weak mint smell. -Orange 'N' Cream is actually a not bad "orange cream liquorice" flavor, but when Tangiers Hacitragus already does that better, why would I bother with this? -Peach is basically AF peach. It smells a BIT different, leaning a bit more towards Fuzzy Peaches candy, but still, mostly just a standard peach. -Sun Of A Peach is a Peach and Orange flavor. AF orange is what I'm smelling mostly, but it has hints of the previously mentioned peach. If you like AF Orange, you'll like this. All in all, I feel I've got a good enough idea of what they are doing to know that I have no interest in Coconara's tobacco offerings. The cheap crappy plastic containers are even worse than AF's, and with how much I can smell these without even opening the packages, that says a lot about "freshness". Chemical taste, cheap candy taste, and an overall OK smoke are what I'm assuming all of these will be. I'll report back if I ever bother opening them and smoking them. It's not high on my list.
