Whats So Good About Starbuzz?

[DrShisha]

Hey Guys. So whats the deal on Starbuzz anyway. Iv never tried it but what does it give you that other moassels dont? Does it taste better, last longer etc. There must be reasons! And does everyone really rate Starbuzz higher than the Golden Al Fakher range or al fakher in general? Edited December 15, 2006 by DrShisha

[Lakemonster]

Ive smoked both, I do think that Starbuzz edges AF out.... but its all about personal opinion.

Some of the noteable things about SB is that you can use less of it to great effect......... MUCHO CLOUDS....... it does last longer with good flavor beyond than what most non-premiums can..... and I think its more tolerant to overheating.

I actually like most of the SB flavor line-up, whereas I only like a select few of each of the other brands.

When its time to smoke something really nice, I pull out a tin.

I personally at first felt starbuzz was a waste of money. It seemed to expensive, and the one flavour i had tried had sucked. Then i met Starbuzz Peach. Holy Shite. Has to be one of the best peaches ever. It tastes just like a fresh cut peach. Plus i gotta say, ive had starbuzz outlast tangiers. Its just so juicy.

Now ive found guava, which has gotta be up there in one of the best flavors of all time, IMO. The flavors in starbuzz are so strong, and its so juicy it lasts for ages. Thats more or less what makes it what it is. Plus thers just some really intresting flavours you cant find anywhere else.

And yea im with lake, theres more good SB flavours then bad. Even ones i dont like are still really good, just not my cup of tea. And yea, at our D/FW hookah party, Ali and Jeff only loaded the bowls with the least amount of tobacco you will ever see. We couldnt beleive how little was in them. And at heat, they were smoking for 7 hours on one bloody bowl of starbuzz.

Starbuzz in general is just really good. Even SB’s bad flavors are still better than most lines good flavors. It may be expensive but it is mighty tasty, the clouds are awesome, the sessions tend to last pretty long. They tend to hit the flavors more often then most brands. GAF, is good… to me… its nothing special. They cost just about the same. GAF’s Grape is tasty… but SB has three grapes, black, white and regular.. mix them together and you have a freakin party of grapes in your mouth. It is delicious. You really just need to try it…. Peach is great, Vanilla is the best vanilla I have ever tried, Irish Cream is awesome, Grapes, watermelon is good, Kiwi, spearmint…

Plus i gotta say, ive had starbuzz outlast tangiers. Its just so juicy.

3 hours isn't enough time... Hell, I've had 3 hour Havana sessions that were still juicy. EL, havn't you smoked a bowl for like 12 hours or something?

Anyways, from the few experiences I've had, I've enjoyed Starbuzz more than AF

[ASUSEAN1]

it depends on what kind of heat you hve too.. under same conditions i still dont think SB would last as long

to answer this poll tho im gonna have to say al fakher

Yea i had a 12 hour al waha session.

Ive had upwards of a total of 15 hour sessions with sb in a large funnel, over the course of a few days. I packed a bowl, smoked till i was ready to stop, put foil over the bowl to keep the tobacco from drying out, and smoked it again later. SB is at the same level as tangiers, and in my experiences has lasted longer. i have also had 12 hour tangiers sessions, but the sb can out last the tangiers. After the 12 hour tangiers session, all the tangiers was smoked through. The sb was the same after about 15 hours. Ill admit, by then i had my technique down better, so i bet i could get the tang to 13 or 14, but still not up to what ive gotten with SB

[sicklecow]

Wow, how many coals did you end up using on that al waha?

[EvansLight]

same i almost always burn through while doing a long funnel bowl run, a roll of 3k

Why the fuck are you smoking for 12+ hours straight. That is ridiculous. Hats off to you, man. Thats a feat.

[EvansLight]

lol ive only done straight 2 times XD one 12 hour al waha, and one 15 hour sb. Most of the time i smoke over a few days. Just pack the funnel, and smoke till i burn through the baccy

And back onto sb. I had the blackberry today. Once again amazing clouds, good flavor, and just an all around good session. Was even able to get a small buzz going

[DrShisha]

How id love to have a session with you El!

that's what i thought i first too.
until my friend actually bought SB Strawberry.
i packed a bowl for myself and all i can say is HOLY SMOKES! flavor and smoke lasted looong.
def. creates huge puffy white clouds than layalina, aw, aa, pharaohs. (from my experiences) Edited December 17, 2006 by Mark

[aronparsons]

The amount of flavor and smoke produced are the best characteristics of Starbuzz. Another great thing is that it's not incredibly sensitive to heat and you don't have to sit there and worry about heat management the whole time. I also tend to dig their take on each flavor more than other brands.

[Vinson]

I had some starbuzz marlette last night. From now on, I'll smoke nothing but Starbuzz and possibly Layalina. That's all

[Vinson]

Oh, also. Starbuzz has some whiiiiiiite-out smoke. None of that grey garbage.

i need to get me more layalina and try some starbuzz...

local shop has 3 flavors of layalina.. ill have to go buy them out lol

lay raspberry is great!


so... where do i buy some starbuzz?

[sicklecow]

I know SS sells it, but not in packs smaller than 100g.

[shisha]

I ordered some Starbuzz and tried it over the weekend,and its the greatest stuff i have ever smoked. I will never smoke anything but Starbuzz from now on!!

[Vinson]

It really is good stuff. I can totally see why Erica can order it by the dozens without feeling any regrets. Certainly a pleasure to smoke, and the friends are impressed by it too.

[Hookah Master]

al fakher is good but IMO starbuzz gives you a better smoke session.

[unleashtheclown]

I dont think I've ever had a bowl last more than 3 hrs, but then again I've never tried starbuzz. Af is probably my favorite brand, but I think fumari kicks the shit out of it

[Rich]

Starbuzz is also my #1 flavor. I love everything about their tobacco, but sometimes I wish they'd add an unwashed line just as I wish tangiers would add a washed line, for those times when a feel I need that extra head spin.

But I definitely wouldn't have them change anything about the flavors they already have.

[JoeLipinski]

I love starbuzz, I have found that for the most part, their flavors are dead on, and they are very easy to smoke because the tobacco does not burn easy. in terms of length, I usually smoke for about 2 hours... but I am sure I could get more. I have not tried al fakher, so I do not know how its compares, but I am sure starbuzz will give it a run for the money. Starbuzz blackberry is my fav. flavor so far, but am looking forward to try more flavors... cantaloupe was not bad at all either.
