JM’s Peach

JM’s Peach is a sweet and mild, yet realistic version of the fruit flavor. The taste is not overwhelming, and while generally more dramatic than a real peach, the intended flavor is clear. If you’re very sensitive to subtle flavors, you may find a hint of a floral taste on inhale, though most won’t notice.

Hookah-Hookah Almond

Almond is sweet, bright and nutty. Though it’s much more of a caricature of the real thing. It’s flavor is relatively mild with an unobtrusive hint of something floral. Overall, the taste is very much what you might expect from an almond flavored tobacco.

Evolution Tea Peanutbutter

Peanutbutter. It tastes exactly like peanut butter. In fact, the flavor is so familiar, many who have tried it have actually found themselves smacking the roof of their mouth as if they’d actually eaten a spoon full of peanut butter. Unlike real peanut butter, this rendition is a bit sweeter, perhaps a bit more akin to what you might find in a peanut butter cup filling.

Fusion Chocolate Mint

Chocolate Mint is, in a word, unbelievable. While there are many Chocolate Mint flavors on the market, none has managed to capture my attention like Fusion’s attempt. The flavor, and the aroma, are exactly as the title suggests—chocolate mint. The mint, while distinct, is not overpowering. It won’t clear your sinuses. And the chocolate is a sweet, chocolate cake flavor. Unlike other brands where the chocolate flavor is more like a protein shake, Fusions chocolate is much more realistic.

Hookah-Hookah Dragon Fruit

Dragon Fruit is a sweet blend of berries and melon. Though the combination isn’t obvious at first, rather the first sensation is bright with a delicious ambiguous berry sweetness, and just a hint of something tangy. When exhaling through the nose as well, those who have a very acute sense of smell will notice a vague hint of something chemical. For almost everyone else, it will go undetected.

Ayam Zaman Strawberry

Ayam Zaman Strawberry, while not quite exactly like the real thing, is by far the most accurate strawberry flavored shisha that I have tasted. It is sweet and bright, with only a hint of tartness. The flavor is much like a strawberry syrup, like you might drizzle on a cheesecake. In order to truly experience the accuracy of this particular flavor, it’s necessary to exhale the smoke through both your mouth and nose simultaneously.

Social Smoke Baja Blue

Baja Blue is closely related to the Starbuzz flavor, Blue Mist. It is a sweet blueberry flavor set atop a light mint sensation. The blueberry taste is a candy caricature of the real thing, but that is not a negative point. The sweetness melds just about perfectly with the mint to create something that isn’t obnoxiously fruity and sweet, but isn’t mild and bland either.

Repair Water Damaged Coals

If you smoke consistently, you’ll eventually run into this problem. You tear into a fresh box of natural coals and start using them. Before long, you realize a lot of your coals are going out after 20 or 30 minutes. Your coals are water damaged. It might have been too much moisture in the air. Perhaps they were stored improperly, or maybe you got a bad box. However it happened, before you throw away 15 hard earned dollars, try to repair that box. It’s not a quick fix, but it’s …

Social Smoke Mobster Review

At first taste, Mobster is a confusing flavor. It is a candy, sweet, fruity flavor with a floral finish. It’s very difficult to compare to something in the real world, which adds to the confusion. The scent is that of candy dipping sticks (you know, the giant Pez that you lick and then dip in Pixi Stick dust?), but the taste betrays the smell. They’re almost nothing alike. The smell is extremely sweet, but the flavor, while sweet, is far more mild. Mobster could also be compared to another Social Smoke flavor, The Edge. However, Mobster is only a mild sweetness, with a noticeably more intense floral finish.
