Starbuzz tobacco

Getting to know Starbuzz Vintage

Starbuzz Vintage is made with robust dark leaf tobacco, also called black leaf. The line leans towards rich, sweet, spiced and tea-like flavours, and Vintage Plus continues the line.

Flavours by mood

• Dessert and sweet: for example Dark Winilla (vanilla), Timisue (creamy sweet coffee) and Orange Chocolate (citrus orange with creamy chocolate). Sweet Cigar adds a touch of vanilla sweetness to a robust bowl.
• Spiced and tea: such as Delhi T (chai with cinnamon, cardamom and star anise), P Spice (peach and fiery spice) and Morning Breeze, a sweet and sour lemon chai.
• Fruit: Hunny Dew Me and Honey Dew Me (sweet honeydew melon), White Mist (creamy peach with a trace of spice), Dark Caribbean (citrus, coconut and pineapple) and Fresh Cito (tangy lime).
• Mist blends: Dark Mist is dark berry with Starbuzz's Mist blend. The Vintage Plus version takes Blue Mist's blackberry, without the minty taste.

Packing dark leaf

Starbuzz say you can pack Vintage the way you like. A denser pack gives a more intense flavour and a stronger smoke. A fluffy pack, like any regular Starbuzz, gives a lighter session. Start with a moderate heat and add more only if you need it.

Trying several

Pack sizes vary by flavour, from 50g and 80g up to 200g. The Starbuzz Vintage Plus Pack of 5 Flavours, for example, puts five 200g packs together. Dark Winilla also works well as a mixer. For similar taste families, see dessert flavours and spice and floral flavours.

Questions

How should I pack Starbuzz Vintage?

Either way works. Pack it denser for a stronger, more intense bowl, or fluff it loosely for a lighter session.

Is Vintage Plus Dark Mist minty?

No. It is a take on Blue Mist's blackberry blend, but without the minty taste.

Is White Mist in both Vintage and Vintage Plus?

Yes, Starbuzz make a Vintage White Mist and a Vintage Plus White Mist. Both are creamy and fruity.
