Rolland Instant-Lite Charcoal Ease of Litening - Well, all I had was a lighter, it took maybe about 1 minute to get them some what lit, then another 5 to blow on them so they can fully get lit. Smell: It doesn't really smell too bad, has that gun powder smell though. Taste: like crap! I couldn't even taste the shisha, it just tasted like butane.. it ruind the hookah experiance. Ash: It was pretty ashy, had to blow the ash of every couple of minutes. Overall: If you are smart you will not buy this, they taste like crap, take forever to light up, and leave you with the biggest headache ever. Sucks this had to be my first post.. I just purchased my hookah and it came with these quicklites... I hope to be posting here more, thanks!
