Erica Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 So, I smoked from my new stash last night. I was looking at some of the Starbuzz cans and realized something I thought was quite odd. Everyone has said that Starbuzz is a washed brand. I was looking it over: Irish Cream and Peach were washed (0.05% nicotine) but Spearmint, Guava, Strawberry, Kiwi, Vanilla, Strawberry and Social Smoke Blend are unwashed (0.5% nicotine) Now, I don’t know if this is how all the cans are, or if they are going from a Washed to an Unwashed brand, or if this is how it’s always been and none of you have noticed. Anyways.. I was just curious and thought I would share what I found out. Let me know if you guys know anything….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thadeus Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I thought it was all washed. That makes sense though, because I get a slight buzz from the Social Smoke. Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 That was the impression I was under as well, but I have noticed that I had noticed that I get a buzz from Spearmint…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellamobunny Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 starbuzz switched to a washed tobacco sometime within the past few months. all the newer flavors, and all the new batches, will be made with the new tobacco. there's still a good amount of old product out there made with the 0.5 tobacco. i don't care what they do to irish cream. i can't stop smoking that stuff.

Erica Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 ... I thought starbuzz was originally washed............ and where did you get this info from? and yes, Irish cream is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilqueToast Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Starbuzz was originally unwashed, and the unwashed version is still available in many places. The more recent stuff is washed though. I don't smoke for a buzz, so I'm okay with it. I also third the Irish Cream deliciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare2dreamer Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Oddly enough, I just got done cleaning my hookah after my first bowl of Starbuzz Irish Cream. Excellent smoke indeed. A quick question, does anyone happen to know if their Irish Cream contains chocolate? My girlfriend is terribly allergic, and she was worried because a lot of Irish Creams (the beverage) do.

EvansLight Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 yea it came up a while ago on the forums. For reasons ive since slept out of my brain, they have gone from unwashed to washed. I prefer the unwashed, but oh well XD As for irish cream, i have no idea. Doesnt taste like there is, best call Ali or starbuzz directly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I believe they switched tobaccos first and then changed their packaging only more recently. Ali, from Social Smoke confirmed that it was washed and that the new packaging would reflect that. I think they switched, like 9 months ago or so.

Erica Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks guys!!! My head is more at ease!!! They should have kept it unwashed!!! BOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Weird to switch like that. Since many of their fans probably are used to a certain buzz from their smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Alot of companies start business with a pile of really good samples made by somebody else, then they change the tobacco to a poorer quality tobacco or a domestic one and screw everybody. Starbuzz converted and is making some pretty good tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 So, I had e-mailed Starbuzz and asked, why do some cans have .5 and others .05? Surprisingly enough I got an e-mail back, he said he actually say my post on hookah forum and told me what had happened. Starbuzz has always been 0.05% nicotine. The printer who had made the labels had messed up and put 0.5% instead of 0.05% now, as they are running out of labels, they are re-printing them with the correct amount, 0.05% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm sure I remember people saying that Starbuzz used to kick their ass alot more or some time ago or whatnot, right? Who remembers Starbuzz being stronger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
