I have made posts before about my feelings on strawberry hookah tobacco. I have yet to find a strawberry tobacco that was accurate but that is understandable. I did not expect anything realistic in an accurate way when I first got my hands on some Social Smoke Strawberry. What I got was pleasant and tasty.
The smell on this is a candy strawberry. It’s a lot like strawberry bubble gum. If you don’t expect natural strawberry you will not be surprised by the smell. Natural strawberry is one of the hardest flavors to replicate. The flavor is pretty much identical to the smell. It’s light but it’s tasty. I would not equate it to a fresh piece of strawberry bubble gum but it’s like the after taste from the gum after you spit it out. It’s sweet and artificial but not chemical.
So far with social smoke I have experienced great clouds from all flavors and strawberry is no different. Big puffy clouds that block light and make it hard to see friends.
7 out of 10. Dinged for strength of flavor more than anything. The other points are for price and one for improvement. I don’t give out tens lightly. If this flavor were stronger I would love it. It’s one of teh best strawberry flavors I have had yet but there is still a lot of room for improvement. If you like strawberry and are nto expecting something that tastes like the actual fruit this is a great option for you.
Social Smoke is one of the cheapest modern tobaccos on the market… You can’t be a stingy hookah connoiseur, and price should never factor into a rating. I’ve never heard a cigar aficionado say “That cigar was really great but I hate to pay $10 for it.” That’s not an aficionado… That’s a cheapskate.
Hi, Josh.
Umm… you’re wrong on every point and to a degree that makes me wonder if you’re actually joking.
Social Smoke is far from one of the cheapest tobaccos on the market, modern or otherwise. Nakhla, AF, Havana, Al Amir, Fusion, Al Waha, Tangiers, Hookah-Hookah… Social Smoke is more expensive than those and many more. It is in the category of “Premium” tobaccos and holds a price tag that reflects that. I enjoy Social Smoke but I would enjoy it more so if it was more affordable.
If you’ve never heard a cigar reviewer compare the price vs the quality of product then I suggest you actually look at a cigar review. Even one. The majority make mention to the value of the cigar and value is a factor in any purchase you ever make. If you’d like I can sell you some Ed Hardy tobacco and an Ed Hardy hookah for an insanely high price. The tobacco is just repackaged Starbuzz and the hookahs are no name Chinese rigs, but you wouldn’t want to be seen as a cheapskate now would you? The price doesn’t have any bearing on your choices, right? Below I have listed some of the best reviewers in the world of cigars who are saying exactly that and for multiple reasons.

In conclusion, you came here with nothing but unsubstantiated claims and insults based on the idea that being frugal is something to be scoffed at. Feel free to try again but next time you should try to get at least one fact correct.
I’m with you on this Paul. Maybe he was just a troll? who knows. I have developed a nice little system where I do buy plenty of Social Smoke shisha, but I don’t smoke it every day. I consider it a treat at $20 for 250G. So when I’m craving a particular flavor or want to really relax with a nice glass alcohol, I bring out my Social Smoke shisha. For everyday smoke just to smoke I bring out my Nakhla shisha which at $8.50 is a steal for an everyday smoke shisha.
Now which tobacco have you given an overall 10? I haven’t found one yet. I think the highest was an 8.5.
None that we’ve posted on the site yet. 10 is the ultimate perfect tobacco (but its almost subjective)
