Fumari [Your Thoughts]

[ShishaDark]

Me personally, I think Fumari is one of the top quality tobaccos that is not mentioned too often here.

Any Flavor of Fumari is always smooths and loads of flavor when I order some.

My personal favorites are Blueberry, Watermelon, Grape, Pina Colada, & Exotic Mango

They have some unique flavors and all of them really come out when you smoke it.

Only reason I stopped ordering Fumari since the upped there prices, it was already expensive enough and now even higher, 500G = $45 + $9 shipping = $55 = ridiculous!

[cymptom]

I've always wanted to try it, but yeah, it's too expensive.

Fumari is unwashed, right?

Well, I love their orange and lemon mint, but it is too expensive, and I like waha just as much,

[xpimpitox]

i used to love fumari until their price jump. their strawberry and passion fruit were my faves until i bought a recent batch at a headshop and they tasted like crap. on a plus note the white peach and tropical punch are friggin excellent! but yea the price is def not worth it which sucks because tropical punch is one of my fave shisha flavors of all time.

[aronparsons]

Fumari is a great brand but lost a lot of people's love when they upped their prices even further than before. I love(d) their tropical punch, peach, double apple and rose.

i love fumari, their premium melon is freaking awesome. it is really expensive now but when i go back to smoking AF it just doesn't cut it. passion fruit rocks and water melon is a killer. i was alittle dissapointed with choc mint though, cld barely taste the choc and the mint was overpowering and after awhile you just cld taste anyting

[DizzyGuy]

Never tried Fumari.

Probably never will due to the price.

[Calcartman]

Basically as soon as i can justify spending money on it (Not for a while too much i need to trade/smoke), I will be trying it.

[djnick]

fumari to me is the best imported tobacco. It is very expensive yes, but also it hits very good, very flavorful. Pretty much the reason why it costs so much because it is the best, buy a few tubs and you will see. However i only smoke it once in a while because of the price. The same way you eat food, fast food for a quick fix, but when your really craving a good meal u go to a nice restaurant

[Joey32b]

I smoke Fumari almost every night. I think it's a little cheaper for me because I buy it straight from their lounge in San Diego. It's three 100 gram tubs for $20. I would smoke it regardless of the price though because it's just so reliable when it comes to getting a good smoke with great flavor. I used to buy a variety of brands, but now I only smoke Fumari and Tangiers because I think those two brands offer the highest quality tobacco and have the best tasting flavors.

[Macho555]

You know what sucks??? Literally, the night that I had saved enough money to buy Fumari, is the night they jacked up their prices. Thus, I have never tried it. I'm kinda glad now that I don't know what I'm missing.

[Donkeema]

its an only for special occasion kind of thing, wayyyy to expensive for normal use

[zzzzzT]

It is good stuff.

I do think it is a bit expensive. They have real solid flavors. I just with it had more kick to it, which probably comes from it being washed.

ditto.

[imonlyapuppet]

I used to only order Fumari's stuff because of the high quality and huge variety of flavors, but since the price jump I haven't bought any and probably never will. I'm sticking with Al-Waha and Tangiers for now, I think.

Why fumari, why?!

[Sonthert]

I think it is washed. Fumari is an excellent quality tobacco, the best in my opinion, if price is no object.

[DrunkenWizard]

I would have to say that I get better flavor from Tangiers. (I'm not affiliated with Tangiers nor am I a fanboy.) Fumari is good though, but for the price I'd buy lots of other stuff.

[critterchops]

fumari is simply the best second is starbuzz I'm reminded of this every time I smoke something else. You can see a huge diffrence just by looking at it.And it is a reliable smoke every time. I smoked al waha cola to give another brand a try and it sucked compared to fumari.

If you want a for sure high quality smoke.....smoke some fumari

I don't care how expensive it gets I will keep buying it and I'll be smoking it every day like I've been. I Support quality over quanity any day!!

And for those that say it's too expensive I'll never be able to try fumari Save up and buy some and you'll see why it is the best!!!

I'm not sure if standards have changed since last year, but Fumari was very inconsistent. (I've reviewed some in the past). They'd always get the smell right, but this more often than not does not translate in the taste.

Peach, Watermelon and Mint choc chip were high quality (flavour-wise)

most other things were terrible. Well, let's say I've had about 10+ different flavours and they vary from the fantastic to the absolute flavourless.

A brand like Fakher, or even Romman are far more consistent. Nothing is flavourless with them although you may get the odd flavour that doesn't cater to your taste.

I'm going to try some tropical punch and see how that is.

Some of their flavours are fantastic and amongst the best. Overall, their company is overpriced with a VERY high proportion of their flavours that I'd rather flush down the toilet.

I suggest whoever follows critterchops advice, makes sure they look into the flavour they want first by asking around, otherwise they'll get a premature ejaculation of a dissapointment.

King Mo, I read you're old reviews and I see what you're saying. Of the Fumari flavors you liked, they are among the most popular. Of the ones you disliked, they either don't make anymore or don't serve in their lounge. White Grape and Yellow Apple aren't even in existence anymore. And they stopped serving French Vanilla, Cherry, and Melon in the lounge and only have them available to purchase for home. So I think Fumari knows they have unpopular flavors and they weed them out. There are a limited amount of flavors I have on a regular basis, and all of them are top notch. I wouldn't say they're inconsistent. They just have certain flavors that fit different people's tastes. I've heard someone say on this board that Fumari Melon was their favorite favor and White Grape was one of mine (and I miss it dearly). I talk to the manager at Fumari at least once a week, as I frequent their lounge often, and she says that everything that they still carry sells well enough, otherwise it's gone.

[Seraph]

Personally if I want a tasty smoke, I smoke Fumari; but if I want a good buzz, I smoke Tangiers. I like both of them a lot.

Fumari is too damn expensive >.> It's about $1.70 a bowl ($20 for 3 100g; 25g a bowl). Still cheaper than their lounge prices I suppose.

[smiley]

I've been smokeing fumari for about 6years now. I too love it. I have went threw several price changes. But I just can't seem to quite the Fumari Habbit. I love the stuff I always will. But I do only smoke Fumari on special occations at home. I do smoke alot of Shisha at home just other brands.But when I'm feeling like something special or when friends come over. I break out with Fumari When I'm at work.... Well we've been serving Fumari in our lounge for about three years. Our costumers love it.
"GO Fumari"

Fumari has been one of the most reliable brands for me. Smoke has always had great density, and the flavors were pronounced and well defined. It's a shame they pushed their prices up. I will still buy some every once in a while, but I find it simply too expensive for everyday use. I'll usually pick some up for a party upcoming, or for traveling and seeing friends. It's great shisha, as high of quality as any other brand out there, but hard to justify with the price.

[jmexx]

The Hookah Lounge I go to uses Fumari. It's the only lounge in Canada that will actually use their tobacco considering the ridiculous taxes we pay, makes the expensive tobacco even more expensive.

I still smoke Al Amir at home but there's a certain drug, almost, in Fumari . I asked the owner of the lounge how much he'd charge if he ever would for Fumari, he said after all the taxes and a little profit, it'd come out to 100$CND!!! for 250 grams.

[wufabufa]

fumari watermelon was awesome. Guava was even better. it's a shame they jacked up their prices. it's definately a high quality smoke. when my friend got a sampler pack he got some blueberry and it wasn't that hot. didn't really taste like blueberries, more like some kind of shampoo.
