GordonMac Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 So I have a lot of Al Amir 50kg packs and today i smoked 2 flavours with some pals. First we smoked Rasberry then Watermellon and I must say that Al Amir produces my favorite smoke. The smoke is so white and crisp looking. But then later when I was done, we all had headaches. We smoke almost every day and we ususally don't get headaches so I was wondering if Al amir gives anyone else headaches. I wish it didn't do that because I really enjoyed the smoke.

sicklecow Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've never gotten headaches from Al Amir, but my girlfriend says she does occasionally. Try mixing it with some washed stuff.Ooh, and try the Blackberry. Best Al Amir flavor IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxOR541 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Al Amir is washed.. so that probably wont help too much. You may be geting the headaches from carbon monoxide. What kind of coals are you using, and are you making sure they are FULLY lit before throwing them on the bowl? Are you usign a windcover? If so , try smoking without it to let some of the happy fumes from the coals dissipate instead of being drawn into the head and through the pipe.I'm glad someone liked the Al Amir watermelon... I thought it tasted like air. The Layalina Watermelon kicks it's ass to the curb. While I have loved some of my Al Amir sessions, watermelon was a big letdown, as was the Mocha Latte, which neither tasted or smelled anything like coffee, or much of anything else for that matter. My favorite Al Amir sessions have been their grape, cherry and mango. With blackberry coming in closely behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxOR541 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 another thing... Al Amir seems to have a lot of sugar in it. I wonder if that is contributing...Starbuzz also seems to be really heavily sweetened and I know it gives some folks headaches. Not from the nicotine, as it is also washed, but i have heard theories it is because of the sugar content. Maybe just wait longer between puffs so you are not depriving yourself of clean oxygen too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I just cannot get Al Amir to smoke well. I think it's because it's so damn shredded But i've never gotten a headache from it.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 i hated al amir... it all smells lovely, but we (BF and I) have tried about 6-7 different flavors... and they all tasted the same and made both of us somewhat ill.... and HE'S a HUGE ciggy smoker and got sick (This boy can puff on tangiers like a furnace where I have to sip it). We both hate Al Amir... it's a pity the local shops dropped Al Waha in favor of the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonMac Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 my set up and coals are fine i think that maybe the sugar thing can be it. Ya i didn't really get much flavour from al amir but i loveeeedd the smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrendo Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Al Amir does smell great but it just tastes like cardboard to me... It's pretty bitter as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambookamax Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I tried some Blackberry, and that was pretty good Yeah it is really finely shreadded though, and I had a little difficult time getting a lot of flavor outta it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 al amir tastes like chemicals,, and its probably the reason you are getting those hearches becuase they put so much nasty shit in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Not a big AA fan. Their flavors are typically underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
