To start, no - - This isn't my favorite - The flavors are a little weaker, the smoke a little thinner - - But hey, at $50 for a 100g container, it's half the price of most 100g on the site and no more than some extremely low grade brands which are nowhere near this good - Plus its a cool tin, some foil, and some coals! Great rainy day smoker pack
I bought all flavors and loved em all but there are a few were the flavor is lacking but over all great shisha as for the coals and foil just throw it out the coals last 10 mins and foil is foil this shisha can last for well over an hour with good heat management I went through 2 ch nats on one bowl
This shisha is easy to smoke, hard to ruin it and has a nice taste - That being said go a different way after smoking about every brand i can say this is not the worse but it need more smoke, texture and flavor - I did laugh when it came with coals and foil in the tin - After a couple bowls of experimenting with different levels of heat, I decided to but this stuff in my carry back for a rainy day -
if you like a hint a of coffee flavor, turkish delight is pretty good - I tried honeydew, and that was pretty good as well - good smoke - -
I bought the strawberry blast and the mellow mango and both the flavors lacked when smoked - It didn't give off big clouds either - All the other shisha I had you could at least taste what was in the bowl, but not with this one - I even had a vortex bowl with 4 coals on it and it still didn't produce - This shisha is very wet and had a nice smell to it and I was excited to put it in and give it a try - No dice - Skip this shisha and go with Al Waha -
I noticed the guy before talking about Egyption Guava. and i think hes right in terms of it not being sweet. But if he reads this review i would encourage him to try another batch of Egyption Guava, perhaps he got a bad batch. Ive tried several Potion flavors including EG, Juicy Watermelon, Turkish Delight, and Kiwi Strawberry. Ive had multiple tins of each so i feel confident in saying it is slightly batch dependant, some were a little weak in flavor, but overall they were very good. In terms of Smoke and Buzz, i found all of them to be very good. Thick clouds with a vortex and 3 coco naras, and heavy buzz. i would rate this shisa 8/10, because for the price its very very good.! definatley worth a try!
I got Egyptian Guava. First I need to explain that I was under the impression this was a very sweet tobacco. I just do not find it all that sweet. I do not claim to be an experienced shisha person yet but I just expected to be able to add this to other tobaccos and it really sweeten the pot. I have tired it seperate as well. I do plan to order a different flavor to give it another chance but this is not my favorite tobacco so far. It IS moist, VERY moist which is good, aroma is weak though in this flavor as is taste. I will rate it good because it is not BAD it just didnt really go that much for me.
one of the best its all i can say
Potion is VERY wet with allot sticks. One stick had to have been folded to get the pouch into the tin it came in. The coals provided in the tin have a horrid taste if not totally ashed over and last only a short while. All in all toss the provided coals and sticks out, use a bit more coal than normal to reach appropriate temperature for a rich smooth flavorful smoke
The Very Cherry wasn't very cherry. It smelled great (I mean really great) in the container but didn't carry much of a flavor while smoking. I doubt it was user error because we were smoking other brands just fine. Weak smoke volume too.
I bought this from the guy that makes it. I am a strict Starbuzz fan but if you are on a lower budget Potion is GREAT. It is VERY "juicy". I bought the kiwi strawberry and was very pleased. Smokes great and a decent flavor (not as strong as Starbuzz)
good coals good foil good smoke on the thin side but very flavorful what it lacks in smoke thickness it makes up for in flavor
Amazing... I love honey based shisha the smoke is thick and lasts foe eva !!! you got to try the sex on the beach it ing rocks!!!
I FINALLY got round to trying this tobacco last night, and having sat in my cupboard since this easter when I was given it as a free sample. Upon opening it was double wrapped and still perfectly fresh, and very moist (this is something I've heard from others too). A little stalky, but not overly, but as I said, very wet. We were sat in the garden, on a very cold winter night, talking and smoking late into the night(sadly, this, one of our favorite activities, is not so great at -2 in winter). I don't know if it was the cold air, but the shisha didn't taste as flavouresome as normal, and I will have to have a try indoors. It was definitely very nice though, smooth smoke with an apple-y flavour, pretty much a classic. I'd call it bog standard. The coals are worth as much as they cost - nothing, but it was a nice touch adding them and I'm sure I'll end up putting them to use one day. Overall I'd rate it as a good shisha, different from my normal stuff, but not worse and not better. As apples go, this was perfectly acceptable. Thanks!
Bought this wondering if it might be Rose and Lemon, the traditional "Turkish Delight". I couldn't detect any Rose flavor. It actually reminded me of dates. Regardless, very good taste!!
