Bowl Used: Single Hose Kahlil Mamoon, Vortex bowl
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Cold Water
Coal Configuration: Three Chronic Hookah Natural Coals
Cut of the Tobacco: Moist, undyed tobacco. Cut is medium shred. Some tiny twigs, no thick stems.
Smell: Individually, White Peach smells like a candied peach, kind of like those peach gummy rings. The melon has more of a honey dew smell than a cantaloupe. Together, the smell is euphoric. I want to eat my shisha!
Flavor: The flavor is almost there, but not as great when they are seperated. It tastes like a mix of peach and melon, but very faint.
Smoke: Surprisingly, I didn't get as big of clouds as I usually get. I do not know why this was so.
Longevity: This lasted me about an hour.
Overall thoughts: This was okay, but I like the flavors separate better.
RATING: 6/10

REVIEW: Starbuzz Code 69
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju and a Vortex
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Three 33mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Typical dyed Starbuzz, I found no stems to note on in my batch
Smell: The smell reminds me of cherry cola. When I take a sniff, my nose fizzles up due to this carbonated scent. It's cool how they replicated this. It brings a tickle to your nose.
Flavor: Flavor is a very fizzy cherry flavor, very much like cherry cola. It's good!
Smoke: Thick! I love Starbuzz!
Longevity: It lasted an hour and a half.
Overall thoughts: I like this flavor a lot. It's different from all the rest and brings a uniqueness to it due to the fizzy flavor it brings to the flavor. It was very enjoyable. I would definitely like to mix this in with more cherry to have that flavor pop out more as it doesn't as much as I'd like. It's a great mixer, me thinks!

REVIEW: Starbuzz Blue Mist
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Two 33mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Typical Starbuzz cut, rather stemmy, but typical. Juicy and not dyed.
Smell: Very blueberry with menthol after tones.
Flavor: The methol mint hits you quicker than the blueberry does, but there are hints of it while smoking. I liked this flavor simply because of the mint but may consider mixing it with more solid blueberry since I wasn't satisfied with the fruit aspect to it.
Smoke: Thick.
Longevity: Everything lasted me about an hour, I added another coal after-wards for a bit longer smoke.
Overall thoughts: Nice mint flavor with blueberry undertones that were, at best, satisfying. I enjoyed this but enjoyed other flavors way more.

REVIEW: Starbuzz Sex on the Beach
As a fan of the drink, Sex on the Beach, I decided to give tobacco a try at this very flavorful drink. We'll see if it holds up to the name!
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, triple fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Two 33mm Three Kings Coal, one 40mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Fine, typical Starbuzz. Dyed Molasses.
Smell: I smell hints of orange, peach and cranberry in this, which is what a Sex on the Beach is. It's a very strong scent but to separate the flavors takes time and is hard to pin point.
Flavor: Not much of a flavor at all for the first few pulls, it was as if I was smoking air. After about 10 minutes into the session, the flavor starting coming out but nothing worth noting. I believe I hit full flavor at about 30 minutes into the smoke session. It was a sweet taste and I could only taste the peach.
Smoke: Thick pillows, as usual from Starbuzz, with thick clouds only coming after three full pulls.
Longevity: The coals lasted me about and half and a half and the flavor was still there.
Overall thoughts: It took a while for this flavor to come out, perhaps because I was alone. The flavor is sweet and enjoyable once it does peak. It tastes nothing like sex on the beach, however. In the future, I'd like to add some pineapple juice to my water base for a more fuller flavor.

REVIEW: Starbuzz Exotic White Peach
Starbuzz is probably one of my favorite shisha's and today I will be reviewing Starbuzz' Exotic White Peach.
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, triple fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: (0min-30min: One Three Kings Coal) (30min-55min: Same coal, broken into three parts)
Cut of the Tobacco: Coarse and lumpy due to excess molasses. No stems found.
Smell: Very nutty smell, does definitely smell like peach, but I don't see a reason to call it "White" Peach, to only have a flavor called Peach.
Flavor: The flavor was wonderful, like having a peach daquiri. It was fruity and fresh. The juiciness that the smoke gave my tongue was unexpected.
Smoke: Thick pillows, as usual from Starbuzz, with thick clouds only coming after three full pulls.
Longevity: The tobacco lasted me for an hour and a half on one Three Kings coal.
Overall thoughts: As a peach-lover, this satisfied my taste buds for quite a while. The taste was around long into the session and I enjoyed every minute of it. In the future, I will be trying to add some peach schnapps to my waterbase to see if I can get more of a peach flavor.
