I bought this on a whim from Hookah Kings. I must say, it turned out VERY good.

First off, I like the container. Its a thick cardboard tube with a metallic lining and a nice airtight lid. WAY better than bags but not as expensive as jars.

Setup: 21" inch 2-hose H-S.com, MYA hoses, standard mod bowl, 1 layer heavy foil, 2 Japanese coals.

Cut: Small and fluffy. Didn't come in one big lump like most other bagged shishas. The smell is INCREDIBLE, just like fresh orange juice. Very pleasent light orange color. Nothing to stain your hands. Average amount of stems. Not so wet that it gooed up the grommet either.

Smoke: Very nice and cool. It would have been PERFECT for O's but it was a tad windy outside. Never harsh. Lasted over 1 hour.

Flavor: This is the real standout quality of this shisha. The flavor was great! Orange mixed with red grapefruit and a hint of floral. Consistent throughout the smoke.

Buzz: The most disappointing thing about this shisha: its washed. Not as much as some though. 0.3% nicotine whereas most washed tobaccos have 0.05%. Its between 0.5% and 0.05%.

Final Verdict: Is it worth the $8 for 100g? Maybe not but it is a nice change from the usual. They also have some very interesting flavors (though some are just regular flavors with gimmicky names: Wet Dream is pomegranate, Eve's Apple is red apple...that sorta thing.

the cintron orange tastes like orange tick tacs and the rasberry is delecious but sinbad doesnt give a good buzz... you need to mix in a strong mint or vanilla flavor

OK, first of all let me say that this is my favorite tobacco brand to date. Still have Fusion, Starbuzz, and Pharaohs to try.

BUT, when I first got this I was shocked. Great packaging, even though it really isnt that much more convenient then the boxes, cool idea.

the smell of this tobacco is indescribeable. I orderd Sex on the Beach, Sweet Dreams (Sour Pomegranate), and sour mixed fruit.

first smoke was horrible. I couldn't taste ANYTHING. it is a very light tobacco and it is very picky, but once you get it down, this tobacco is outstanding.

the setup: large 30 egyptian with funnel bowl. large airspace, medium-large holes, but not tons of holes. onlly natrual coals here, quicklites ruin the flavor. just put 3 small broken chunks of natural coal in a triangle figuration around the funnel.

Okay you probably wont taste the flavor through your mouth as much as exhaling through your nose. Sex on the beach is my favorite so far, I just wish I could find it locally and it wasn't so expensive.

Only thing that could be improved is the thickness and buzz. Personally I rate tobacco on flavor.

So I brought this over to a party the other night. Packed layalina lemon with layalina strawberry on the bottom of the large funnel, put a thin layer of sex on the beach sinbad on top (i do this because layalina is cheap compared to sinbad, I cant afford to pack a large funnel strictly of sinbad ). the hookah circle went from 5 to 25. not one person disliked it. lasted 2 hours and probably would of lasted longer but people started leaving.

10/10 but it is a picky tobacco
