Starbuzz Christmas Mix

Cut: Typical SB cut. Wet and drippy. A light yellow color that may be dye.

Hookah Type: KM double trimetal

Duration: 45 minutes to an hour

Bowl: funnel and windcover

Foil / Screen: Regular foil. One layer.

Coal / Amount: Two CH coals. QL

Smoke: Super smoke. It takes a bit of heat to get the good clouds out of it though.

Buzz: Heavily washed.

Smell / Flavor: Smells like very spicy banana bread. The flavor it similar with a very slight minty taste. The flavor is great and strong. If you like spice flavors and fruit flavors this is a nice balance.

Rating (1 to 10): 8.5 I really like this flavor. It’s a great balance between sweetness and spice. It may be a bit too sweet for some of the more traditional smokers out there but I think it’s nice. It can get a bit cloying if you smoke one bowl after another but you should not do that with any tobacco for the same reason. It can be tempting though when a flavor is really nice. But I have seen a lot of people burn themselves out on their favorites for that reason. The major issue with this mix is the price. It’s SB and thus carries a hefty price tag. If you are ok with it and have the scratch I suggest picking up a tin.

Fumari Lemon Mint Tobacco

Continuing to review the Fumari flavors that the folks at Fumari sent me last month, Lemon Mint tobacco is next. As I mentioned before Fumari tobacco has a lot of molasses and is very flavorful. It smokes very well and the flavor is fumari-logo-simplenot dry like many other hookah tobaccos.

Flavor: Lemon and mint are my favorite flavors. So mixed together they do magic for me. Even though I liked Island Papaya better, the Lemon Mint was definitely up there too.

Smoke: Very good and thick smoke

Smoothness: Smooth. In the beginning it was very good. It got harsher a little faster than I expected but I was still happy.

Overall: Great tobacco. Fumari’s flavors are great and can add a lot of variety to your hookah tobacco collection.
