    First thougts:
    As with all Hydro products, I was excited to try this. It’s herbal, and it’s Hydro, so I figured it would get bad soon, like every experience in the past.

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Green Cobra Hose
    Hookah: Mini Mya Saray
    Coals: Cheap Japanese Naturals
    Filler: Ice water
    Cut: Red dye, bunch of sticks, and evenly flavored.

    Experience:
    Myself: The flavor is orange. It’s like a real orange, without the acid. The orange flavor isn’t too sweet or too sour. It’s basically the perfect mix of orangy-ness. It doesn’t taste like you’re diving right into a cup of fresh orange juice but I can definitely enjoy this flavor. Although, after about 20-25 minutes of smoking this, I got the chemical flavor that Hydro tends to put off.

    Smoke:

    The smoke is mediocre. It could be better, but it could be worse. My cheap coals could contribute to the mediocrity of it, but very marginally. With that being said, I’ll also give this one a five out of ten hearts.

    Overall:
    Unless your shisha has to be herbal, I wouldn’t buy this for your first time smoking an orange flavored shisha. There are plenty other brands out there that make amazing orange flavored shisha that I could recommend first. However, if you’re stuck on only smoking herbal shisha, this is a good item for you. Or if it’s the only thing in your price budget, try it. It’s not going to hurt you, and you may even enjoy it more than I did.

    Do you want the dictionary definition or what I think it is?
    In my eyes, shisha is tobacco that is flavored for use with a hookah pipe. Shisha does have very little nicotine, but none of the additives or tar that most other tobaccos have. Shisha can contain sugars, natural flavors, artificial flavors, glycerin, molasses, salts, alcohol, and spices. Some of these things have been known to hurt people, or alter their moods. Also, a lot of hookah bars require you to drink something so you won’t pass out. There is logic behind this, but I’m not saying you can’t smoke without drinking or eating. Some people just need to be more careful than others.

    If you open a bag or can of shisha, and it’s dripping, it’s probably too wet.
    Some example shisha’s: Al Fakher, starbuzz, and fantaisia.
    If a tobacco is too wet, it more than likely isn’t going to smoke as well as it should. An easy way to fix this, is to put the amount of shisha you’re going to need to fill the bowl onto a sheet of paper towel. Compress it, but not too much; You don’t want it to lose all of the juice. There you go. If it’s still too juicy, try it again. Some of the results of too juicy shisha include but are not limited to: Harsh burning smoke, no smoke, very little smoke, and stomach aches.

    I’m completely Biased! Like I said in the video, Fantasia Cuban Mojito is my most favorite shisha! It’s in the same premium quality level as starbuzz, for about the same price. I always look forward to smoking Cuban Mojito!

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Green Cobra Hose
    Hookah: Large [idk the brand] Hookah
    Coals: Coconaras
    Filler: Ice water
    Cut: Red dye, thick cut shisha, a good bit of stems, and VERY sweet smelling.

    Experience:
    Myself: I always love this shisha. I love how it never gets old, and it lasts FOREVER. Not really, but it does last about an hour to an hour and a half. The taste is really minty, and a little sweet. It goes perfectly though. It’s kinda like sprite, but not really. It doesn’t taste exactly like a mojito, but I can tell that it was made to imitate one.

    The fanclub: [Jaime]: It’s a good shisha. It’s flavor is even, and it mixes well. I can taste the mint in it, with another unknown flavor. I can relax with Cuban Mojito, because it’s just that good.
    Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ [9/10]

    Smoke:
    The smoke is huge. The clouds are thick and smell great. They’re the same as starbuzz clouds, with coconaras. Probably some of the best clouds you can get with hookah, without burning the shisha.

    Overall:
    I’ll probably smoke this shisha a hundred times more if I have it. I’ll never get burnt out on it, and I’ll never tell you not to try it. I would send out samples if I could. Cuban Mojito is by far my favorite shisha. With that, I recommend you try it if you ever have a chance to.

    I’m back! Better & stronger than EVER! Starting tonight I will make weekly posts on the blog, if not more. And what a better way to start it off by reviewing my favorite shisha! Fantasia “Cuban Mojito!” This next review should be up soon!

    Apparatus:
    Shisha: Hydro Avalanche [Banana]
    Hookah: Mini Mya.
    Bowl: Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Cobra hose
    Coals: Two coco-naras
    First thoughts:
    Myself: My first inhale of it tasted perfect. After the first few puffs, the perfection went away sadly. It seems as though all of the hydro’s have a flavor after a few moments or so. It’s not bothersome at the least.
    Jaime: “good stuff!” Jaime claims. “It tastes like all of the other good banana [shisha’s] out there.”
    All in All:
    This shisha is mediocre as far as just shisha in general. But when you compare it to other herbal shisha’s I’d consider it the premium brand. This banana flavoring is quite superb within it’s beginning time frame. It lasted about a total of 30 minutes with the last 15 minutes of it being not as enjoyable as the first. The flavor itself tasted pretty much like banana juice, if you’ve ever had it. Like I explained in my “First Thoughts:” After a while, there’s a flavor that will throw you off guard. It tastes nothing like banana, it’s more like.. Medicine. A mix between medicine and chemicals. It’s not that bad, and a lot of people don’t notice it, but I’m one for details.

    Well, It’s Hydro. If you’re one of my readers, you know what I’m going to say from here. It smells extremely sweet and fruity. Somehow, that never changes.

    Apparatus:
    Bowl: Blue Phunnel bowl
    Hose: Black Nammor hose
    Hookah: Mini Mya
    Coals: Coconaras
    Filler: Ice water
    Cut: Red dye, bunch of sticks, and evenly juiced.

    Experience:
    Myself: At first, it tasted like a light grape. Not too sweet, not too fruity. A pretty even combination. Usually, I absolutely adore Hydro’s flavors, but tonight isn’t the usual. After about twenty minutes, the taste changed. It went from being perfect to tasting like a chemical warfare in my mouth. It doesn’t burn at all, but I’m pretty sure it’s from being overheated.

    The fanclub: [Jaime]: I loved it at first, it tasted like grape kool-aid with just the right sweetness. But once it got harsh, it was absolutely horrible. The main problem was, is that we treated it like we have the rest of the hydro, so there shouldn’t have been any heating issues.
    Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ [5/10]

    Smoke:
    The smoke was the best it’s ever been, even after it got harsh. It was undoubtedly the best smoke we’ve had with the Hydro brand shishas.
    Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥♥ [6 / 10]

    Overall:
    While I’ve had this bad experience, I’m not going to give up on Hydro. I have five more flavors to review, and will be doing them shortly. Every flavor that I’ve tried besides this one has been great. I will probably smoke this again, and try a new heating technique.

    FYI:
    If you miss my video reviews, they’ll be on here randomly. I’ve been sick and it’s hard to do a review and look decent when you’re this sick. Either way, they’ll be here, just not on every post.
