Hookah Shisha Natural Charcoals, 120 Count

The best coals out there. They last forever and do not burn out quick . I love these coals

First things first, these coals are truly amazing. There are so many coals to choose from out there and there are several applications they are used for. For the intents of this review, these coals are used for smoking shisha out of a hookah. With consideration to smoking there are also many coals popularly used by most people: quick-ignites, finger coals, and natural coals (usually made of coconut shells).The great part about these coals are that they provide nearly nothing to the shisha you are smoking. In the case of the quick-ignites and sometimes the finger coals, there is an accelerant coating the coals themselves so that you don't need a major heat source to ignite said coals. The accelerant provides the coals to ignite quickly, but the accelerant also gives off an odor and if you don't let them burn it all off before you place it on your bowl, you will have that taste lend itself into your shisha.Many people do not realize that these natural coals (coconaras) do not have an accelerant and, therefore, do not ignite easily or quickly. You need an exterior source that can maintain a good heat without going out. For this reason, a lighter will simply not cut it. Using a portable stove, a regular stove (gas/electric), a blowtorch, or even a BBQ are all reasonable methods to ignite these coals.Now, onto the review - Coco Nara coals are natural coals made from coconut shells. The density of the coal allows a solid burning time to be around an hour, unless you're smoking consistently through your session, then the coals will burn out faster (~45 minutes or so).The coals provide nearly no taste into the bowl you are smoking, and therefore you can get the full flavour from your shisha. The downside, that isn't really a downside, is that these coals take some time before they're "cooked". In that you need to let them sit on the stove until they are fully glowing red or on fire.These coals have become essential to my hookah sessions and even though the prices often fluctuate here, they're still much cheaper than through my local smoke shop.

Great product and the subscription saves me a trip to the store! I swear by these!

I'm happy to help you write a product review for Coco Nara Hookah coal!I have been using Coco Nara Hookah coal for some time now and I must say that I am quite satisfied with this product. These coals last a long time, which is great as I don't have to constantly replace them while enjoying my hookah session. However, it does take some time to light them up, so I usually use a coal burner to speed up the process.One of the best things about these coals is that they don't produce any visible fumes or unpleasant odors. This is great because it ensures that my hookah session is as enjoyable as possible without any distractions or discomfort. The fact that they don't produce any ash also makes cleaning up after my session much easier.I usually order Coco Nara Hookah coal from Amazon, as it's very convenient and I can get them delivered straight to my doorstep. Overall, I highly recommend these coals to anyone who wants to have a great hookah experience without any hassle.

I absolutely LOVE these! They last long and there’s 120 in a box. This is my 3rd purchase and I’ve only had my hookah for a year, mind you I gave out some coals to a few friends so they could use on their own. My only con is that they take a while to heat. Maybe 7-10 minutes to fully light but they burn medium, not too fast not too slow. I use 3 each time I light my hookah and I use it every few weekends when I have company over. So that goes to show you the box can last a while. Also there is no chemical smell or taste. They smell like little charcoal when lighting, but after you add to your hookah the only thing you’ll really smell is your shisha flavor. These are a great purchase!

My to go coals. Two coals will last me about 40 minutes, two rounds will finish a head. No smells, no taste, no issues. Regular ash.

best coals for smoking hookah

Great coals, as some have posted the pieces are slightly different sizes but I wouldn't expect less of natural charcoal. Hard to light, tried a propane blowtorch and I didn't want to try my stove(concerned it might ruin it, probably wouldn't but better safe than sorry) but the tongs heated faster than the charcoal. Much, much, much better taste than quick lights, burns a lot longer as well. What I did was use a small camping stove(those that screw onto a propane canister) and set it on top of the burner, then ignited it. On half-flame it would light within about 5 minutes to perfect heat. The first piece was a bit too small so I added a second onto the bowl and it was great.Pros: Better taste, lasts longer, burns hotter, great value, better/more smoke from shishaCons: Longer to light, sparks a bit more, depending on size of hookah bowl might have to use 2 coals, still worth it by a long-shot compared to quick lights.Definitely recommend these to other coals, 9.8/10
