Taru Apple

Hahaha. This crap is bad garbage poo poo stuff.

It's expensive ($20 CAD) for 50g at my local store... hooray.

This is the worst crap ever. I only got it cuz i ran out just before a party. Its dry like dust. No flavor. Thin smoke. Just awful.

Never get this or you will regret it. Edited February 25, 2007 by Akkbar

apple, grape, cantaloupe, mango, mint...

this is the only shisha sold in the local tobacco store in my town (for around 5 bucks)...

this stuff is absolutely disgusting. weak smoke, no flavour, and barely any smell. it's all the same with the exception of the mint which just burns...

Do Not Buy This Brand. i'm throwing mine away as we speak... (what a waste of money...! )

i dont know why you all are getting crappy tobacco. at the shops i go to, taru is by far the best tasting, wettest shisha on the shelves. thickest smoke, lasts for a while too, i usually have to throw another half coal on after the 1 1/2 i started with. the grape and watermelon i would highly recommend.

coconut. let me say, de-fuckin-licious. the smoke was thicker than the grape but that could be because it was so dripping wet. i knocked some out of the bowl on the floor and practically had to grab a mop! just further proof that this brand kicks ass. nice buzz, just a little finer cut than most brands. i still cant figure out why you all get crappy taru.

I agree. Taru is some of the best shisha I have tried. The coconut has great flavor and no long stems and very moist. Lots of smoke and easy to manage.

I've tried both Coconut and Cherry Taru now and I like and dislike a few things about both of them. And it's hard for me to really describe it, but I give it a 5/10. I like it but it's not my favorite. The flavors are definitely interesting and the smoke is pretty good. I think it's pretty high in nicotine though.

Taru Maple Syrup

Expensive, relative to other brands
Soaking wet and sticky, so kind of hard to deal with.
Flavor was ok, but did not tast like maple at all. very sweet with a very pungent, sweet odor
Easy to get going, lots of nice, white smoke, burns for a long time.
Overall, this brand seems pretty good if you have plenty of money to spend, but I wouldn't buy this particular flavor again. Edited December 27, 2008 by Ottoman
