GordonMac Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I was smoking in my hookah den today after school with my neighbor. My friend accidently knocked the phunnell bowl off the hookah and it broke so we got on the internet and made a purchase. I ordered a Tangiers medium phunnell bowl. Looks good. Then I could not resist to buy some shisha. I have only smoked smileys sexy, Al Fakher, and some Al Waha in my young hookah career and I hear that Nakhla is the most popular shisha around so I ordered Nakhla double apple. Good purchase?

ASUSEAN1 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 eh nakhla isn;t the greatest of all tobacco although it is not horrible. I'd say try some layalina and compare it to the al waha and al fakher.. i like layalina a lot more than those brands but after nine is amazing and al fakher always has decent flavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonMac Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 can someone also tell me what "anise" means? I was reading the reveiwes to Nakhla double apple and everyone said it taste of "anise". thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 anise is short for aniseed, which has a black licorice(sp?) flavor. Nahkla double apple is said to be heavy on the anise and alot of people dont like it; personally i love double apple flavors, my favorite being Havana Double apple.

But i the nakhla double apple it works for me. Plus reminds me of Home. Confort Shisha.LOLSmiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 To clarify, there is an apple flavor to double apple shisha, but depending on the brand, some have more than others. Havana Double apple is a perfect balance of the two IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Double apple is a perfect balance of the two IMO.I LOVE the Havana eskindrani apple. The first night I had my hookah, we started our first bowl of Eski apple, and within 10 minutes, someone tipped over the hookah and spilled the bowl. But yeah, Most people don't find the double apple's to be too pleasant. Who knows, maybe you will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion, try some Layalina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, there are certain brands that are better than others. It all depends on what you are looking for.Indeed... I personally think you made a great choice with Nakhla Double Apple. As long as you like having some black licorice flavor mixed in with the apple than I think you'll enjoy it. It smokes very dense, has a good strong flavor, a strong relaxing buzz, and the flavor really coats your throat and stays there for quite a long time. I've tried a few different Double Apples before and Nakhla is certainly my favorite. Mind you I have only tried Romman, Al-Fakher, Starbuzz, Nakhla, Al-Amir, and Al-Waha but out of those Nakhla was the clear winner in my book. The Romman was too heavy on the licorice (not enough apple flavor), the Al-Fakher was way too sweet, the Starbuzz had no buzz and lacked the throat coating affect, the Al-Amir was too light in flavor and burned easily, and the Al-Waha was too light in flavor and lacked any sort of buzz as well. The Nakhla was just right for me But like Barnzy said, it's all about personal preference. You may find a Double Apple that you like a lot more than Nakhla's, but I do think it's a very good place to start. Mind you I am kinda biased since I prefer to smoke Nakhla over the "premium" stuff 9 times outta 10, but thats just me.Anyway, good luck with your new hookah and ma'assell adventure! I hope you find many flavors from many brands that bring you great smoking satisfaction! Edited April 17, 2007 by ZooJohnnyZETA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
