i purchased these coals after reading all of the reviews and must say i have been less than happy with them. I find that everytime that i use them its a bad smoking experience. if i use 1 coal i get so little smoke, if i use two it gets harsh in 10 min. I thought at first it was my packing skills, but this happens with who ever packs. The only thing i can think of is that i get them too hot, using a electric stove i put it on the lowest setting for them to light. overall i wouldnt recommend these coals.
This is the best natural charcoal;my friends and I all agree. I prefer smoking indoors so I always have access to a stove-top. If you can get a constant heat source, you will get the most amazing smoking experience. I use three coals on a bowl that have gotten red hot and keep them spaced apart on the edges (small holes in the foil please). The smoke is always thick and basically odorless. These are much better than exotica and all other natural coals I've ever tried. If you have the time to use a stove (which only takes about 5-8 min tops on high heat) then these coals are the best! If you need coals quicker than that, go with your favorite quick-lights
A great replacement for quicklights! If you have access to an electric stove, I highly reccomend this product. You don't realize how harsh the smoke from Golden Coals are until you switch! Smoke free, clean burning and no harsh smoke or flavor. The downside: I couldn't heat these with a torch lighter, an electric stove is nessesary. Find something else (Romman naturals or Three Kings) if you want to smoke outside.
They are basically high-quality quick-lights without the horrible chemicals that quick-lights have. They take awhile to heat up, but after they do, they'll burn much longer than any other coal I've used. I've never burned a bowl of Shisha with these coals, if any coal burns close to the "perfect temperature", this is it.
I love these new coals! I purchased them after reading the other positive experiences. They light easy on an electric stove. There is very very little ash and they are hot and stay hot since they don't insulate themselves with ash. The stay on the bowl and dont' rock around like Romman coals. No smoke and no smell or taste to disrupt the experience.
Hookah-Shisha.com recommended these coals to me when I asked them about venturing into the "natural coal world." I must say, I will not look back. Natural coals are amazing to smoke, last so much longer and feel so much better in general. My friends say that the natural coal does not give them as light headed, but I wouldn't be able to tell cause I can never get light headed (it sucks...) Also, I usually need two coals to get enough heat to smoke, but good thing a box of 84 is only 14 bones! They aren't messy, come in handy and come in pre-cut shapes. These coals take a bit of time to light, but in the end you will be rewarded.
These maybe the best coals ever! Not only are the eco friendly, but the compressed coconut products in these coals don't give you a bad taste like some do. They burn clean, ash perfectly. They are precut which takes out one step with some other coals. I always get huge clouds every time I use these!
I decided to take a chance and purchase these coals even though I knew nothing about them. I must say that I am very impressed with them. They leave virtually no coal/chemical taste. All I got was smooth, tasty smoke. Also they didn't take that long to light: about 5 minutes on the stove and these were ready to go! They produce very little ash and their shape makes them easy to handle and you never have to worry about them rolling off your hookah. I have definitely found the right coals!
I want the best experience possible when I smoke. I use premium tobacco, and very good handmade water pipes i want the best experience I can have. I use these coals because they are the best on the market. These coals will last about an hour and a half, give you a good smoke quality, and it is very difficult to mismanage the heat as they burn at an optimum temperature thus resulting in less harsh and burned tobacco.
