they suck... the guy at the store said they were the 2nd best kind he had. $8 for a box of them, so i figured why not?

they suck...

"easy ignition," my ass.

i have to hold the flame under the brick for like a minute for it to get hot enough to actually continue burning when i take the flame away. also, while i'm smoking, the tobacco doesn't taste anywhere near as good as it used to with my old cheap-o bricks. oh, and it takes forever for the coal to burn the tobacco and yield any smoke in the hookah.

my old bricks were $1 per tube of these round, easy igniting bricks... all you had to do was put the flame to it for like 2 seconds and it would burn all the way around and stay lit. the problem i had with these was that there were only like 12 bricks per tube and it was messy trying to take them out of the aluminum foil wrapped tube... charcoal dust got all over my hands and floor. also, they burned out kinda quick.
