NERV Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 havent had it b4, having it now, it tastes just like coconut, i even suspect the possibility that cocnut mgihtve accidentally been put in the box, assuming this is actually caramel, it doesnt taste like caramel, it taste slike creamy butter toffee and gets the same rating from me as coconut, 9/10, maybe 9.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR Bubble Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Nerve, how strong of a smoke is it? MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooJohnnyZETA Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hmm.. that is pretty interesting. I don't recall tasting any coconut flavor when I smoked the caramel, but it was deffiantely good enough that I'll try it again very soon. By the way, what did you think of Nakhla Coconut? Ive been wanting to try it a lot and will probably order some online within the next month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Here goes that pondering and immagination of the flavor. I am always open to try new stuff to me so I might try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 no no no, see the coconut doesnt take like coconut it taste sliek cramy butter toffee, and so does the caramel, they taste basicly the same bubble, it a thick smooth smoke, not much buzz but its creamy and tastes great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 i had caramel aboat a year ago and it was really good it tasted like english toffe but when i ordered some a couple of mounths ago it was totally different much more like their coconut so i know what you mean nerv-and i ordered 250g but it was only 150g when i got it so something prob went wrong when it was packed-im gonna buy a 50g pack when im going to town next time and see if its ok or still that coconutflavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 i actually hit the jackpot with this caramel, it was double packed, 2 250 bags inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 What's the possibility that your hoses are seasoned from other flavors that can be taking the intended flavor away? Anyone smoked Nakhla vanilla before? What are your takes on it? For me, it's just a watse of lung life. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 250 g nakhlas we have come in a sealable plastic jar similar to the way the romman comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 the nakhla i buy here in sweden is the same as the boxes and tincans they sell on the net ( in usa .germany. denmark. 50g- 250g) - i never seen a nakhla plastic box or a 150g nakhla box in my life so i wonder if its the same tobacco we smoke ?

It comes in a normal box and inside the box is this container. for the 150g, it's the same box (no indication of weight on the box) but there is no container, just standard clear wrap around the tobacco.

alen Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 btw king mo how much do you pay for your nakhla? i pay around 1.90 gbp for the 50g and 5.50 gbp for the 250g- and how much do you pay for the al fakher ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I have no idea where nakhla make their tobacco, or their fakhfakheena. It says nakhla on the box, with a little signature that says fakhfakheena. I had to look twice to see the 'fakhfakheena' on the packaging. If it is made in another place then so be it. It's got the same texture and cut that is full of wood 50g nakhlas are quite rare here, mostly apple or double apple, and they are about 1gbp each. nakhla boxes (which look like 150g but could be 250g, cos they have no weight on them, and they have varied in weight when i have bought them) cost between 4.50 and 6.50. Waha 250g tin cans cost about 4 pounds. For fakher, I only get that from abroad e.g. US sellers because in london a 250g box sells for around 20gbp which is ridiculous. There are a few dodgy people around that sell a kilo for 30pounds but I only hear of them occasionally all in all, I order mainly from USA and hope they label it good. It's the cheapest way. Even with customs charges it still works out cheaper for the fakher. I think the guys in the USA don't realise what a bargain they are getting with fakher at 10 dollars. If it swapped prices with romman tobacco then it would make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
