Starbuzz Vintage Tiramisu

Starbuzz Vintage Flavored Tobacco: Tiramisu

Hang on to your hookahs everyone, you are in for a treat! Dessert is served when you pack your hookah bowl with Tiramisu by Starbuzz Vintage. In case you are unfamiliar with what Tiramisu actually is, this delectable little treat is a very popular layered Italian dessert. It consists of espresso infused lady fingers paired with sugar for subtle sweetness, mascarpone cheese, and topped off with cocoa to give it that deep and rich profile. One of the best things about it is that Starbuzz Vintage is an unwashed dark leaf flavored tobacco; so it naturally has a deep and mellow profile. Knowing this, it is easy to discern why the unique flavor of Tiramisu translates perfectly through this medium.

Starbuzz Vintage is the third line from Starbuzz tobacco. It has a medium choppy cut to it and a balanced ratio of juice to leaf. There are a few stems here and there but nothing too troublesome. The strongest scent and most predominate taste is the coffee flavor. It’s the first thing you smell and the most discernible taste; coupled with the rich notes of the dark tobacco really gives it the opportunity to shine. There is more to it than just that though, as you smoke, you will also get deep chocolate notes and subtle sweet vanilla notes that hug the espresso aspect and really pinpoint the flavor profile of Tiramisu.

The packaging is very nice as well; you get a round plastic container that is made to look like wood grain and really captures the essence of “Vintage.” This container is able to store your shisha safely without any additional steps of Ziploc bags or containers. Vintage is pretty versatile in packing so you can adjust depending on your preference. Generally speaking, the denser the pack, the deeper the notes and stronger the buzz. Even though you have freedom in the pack method, I wouldn’t recommend going anything past semi-dense for the best results. It can be slightly heat temperamental so go for a slight under pack to buffer the heat and start with two hookah coals and work your way up if needed. It is available in 200g containers; visit southsmoke.com to give this or any other Vintage flavor a try.
