Do you use them for Tangiers? How many do you use on the Phunnel. I have a small Phunnel and would give em a try. In Germany they are not so expensive as in the US. In some shops they are cheaper than 3K coals.

For tangiers i break them in quarters and space them around the bowl. Sometimes I have to add a little more.

I just got some of these Belgium Coals today. So far I am not to impressed. They impart a taste and one does not seem to be enough for my little MNH Jet glass Funnel. I split it in half and placed on opposite sides of the bowl. It was going good for a bout 20 minutes, and it has been about 45 minutes now and I am lighting some coconaras to see what I get. I am smoking Tangiers Nectarine.

Much better smoke and taste with the coconaras, anyone want 99 of these??
I have a box of Canaries and Quick Light Japanese coals also if anyone wants also.

Odd that you get any sort of taste from them. I notice nothing and my customers love them. Ah well...to each his own.

Snoppy, which coals did you get? The quicklites or the natural disks? black packaging or green?


It is the green packaging. I guess I am so used to coconaras now. They are not bad coals at all, much better then exoticas for sure (that is the Belgium coals.) I made sure they were nice and ashed over before I used them. I must say they have perfect heat for Tangiers though. I got a decent session with the one coal I tried. I guess I am a KM, Tangiers, and Coconara Fan Boy as some here like to label us. Everyone is a Fan Boy or Girl of their tobacco, coal and Hookah of their choice. This Fan Boy stuff needs to stop!! lol

I decided to put them up for sale because I just won't use them so much and I do not want to throw away and more coals, except for the Exoticas I have that are no good. I would not give them away!

weird, i love the belgium coals. they`re my favorite coals after the cococha coconut coals. i can get them for only 6 euros a box around here (probably because belgium is neighbour country, so the export costs aren`t that high).

I have been using the Belgian Natural 40mm Charcoal for a few months now and love them.. They burn forever


I have never given up my 3 Kings because the naturals I've tried have always taken so long to light (with not all that much improvement in flavor that I could tell) that I couldn't justify the inconvenience - especially living in Southern California where it gets hot and I don't want a burner going on the stove to light them. Plus how perfectly they fit onto a round bowl. But a flat disk natural that's round? I might just have to try these!

i totally agree there isn't a mess that comes with it. and i love how when im too lazy to light another coal i put a 3k untop of an already lit one and the works done for me!!! i love some lazyness... although it dosn't hurt to use the naturals from time to time. i never noticed any taste with 3k i noticed it with exoticas and some other naturals.. eh

Talking about these or these?

I've tried the first one, and it's by far my favourite. After I got to try this I've never gone back (unless I'm at a place where ceramic hot-plates are my only heating-source, then I use the exoticas). But if you're talking about the latter, I'd love to hear what makes you prefer them. Shisha-world's shipping is cheap for me, to bad they don't have any descent tobacco... Edited by Balthazar

i have the latter, but as far as i know they`re the same, only the cocochas come in 3kg boxes. i prefer them because they burn very clean and don`t ash very much, plus they burn for an hour and a half.
