Canuck Noob Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Came across these interesting shisha contests...Fumari vs StarbuzzOverall feedback indicated that StarBuzz's flavors were more potent and befitting of their name, with the exception of Mango. Starbuzz came in with an overall ranking of 3.54 and Fumari came in with a significantly lower score of 2.92. Here is what some of our tasters had to say about the flavors:Guava -Victorious StarBuzzStarbuzz: "Taste as if it could've been picked fresh from the tree."

Our tasters had the following things to say about the flavors: Peach: Winner Layalina Layalina -"Sweet [and] natural, remind[s] me of the peach O's candy."Al Amir - "Too sweet, artificial, and funny tasting.

Al Amir - "Less flavor, weak."Al Fahker vs HavanaAl Fakher swept Havana like a true Trojan. Havana had no idea what was coming when Al Fakher slid through the gates, and won all 5 battles! Never before in any of the previous tobacco wars, have we had a brand sweep its opponent in every single flavor! The graph speaks for the entire event. When we first came up with this months theme, we had no idea how epic this battle would be! In general the feedback indicated that Al Fakher was simply truer to their flavors than Havana was. As I'm sure Havana stands, this writer has been left speechless.Cappuccino -Winner: Al FakherAl Fakher: "Deep roasted for yumminess!"Havana: "Smooth, but could use stronger flavor."Grape - Winner: Al FakherAl Fakher: "Smooth, but doesn't taste like grape."Havana: "Doesn't taste like grape at all."Mint -Winner: Al FakherAl Fakher: "A Christmas Déjà vu!"Havana: "Mint?? Really?? Not so mintilicious!!"Strawberry - Winner:Al FakherAl Fakher: "Tastes like a strawberry colada!"Havana: "Needs ripening!"Al Waha vs NakhlaOverall feedback indicated that Al Waha produced more accurate flavors and a slightly smoother smoke. Al Waha came in with an overall ranking of 3.38 and Nakhla came in right behind it with a lower score of 3.12. Here is what some of our tasters had to say about the flavors:Double Apple - Winner Al WahaAl Waha: "Actually taste like apple!"Nakhla: "Tastes a lot like licorice."Lemon -Winner NakhlaAl Waha: "Very flavorful, but a little harsh."Nakhla: "Just like popping a lemon drop in your mouth!"Melon - Winner NakhlaAl Waha: "Smooth smoke, but not very flavorful."Nakhla: "Oh so sweet!"Mixed Fruit - Winner Al WahaAl Waha: "Did someone slip a Del Monte fruit cup in?!"Nakhla: "Very perfume."Strawberry - Winner Al WahaAl Waha: "All I need is a little whipped cream!"Nakhla: "Smooth, but light flavor."

Theophage Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Interesting results, thanks for sharing... I wonder why they paired AF with Havana though? I don't think anyone would expect that to be a fair fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insidius Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 You say Al Fahker won 5 battles, yet I only see 4 results. What was the last flavor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Noob Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Insidius: I just checked and the article only lists 4 of the 5. However, the graph indicates that the other flavor was Orange.Tobacco Wars: Al Fahker vs HavanaI may be mistaken, but aren't Al Fahker and Havana in the same price range?Not that it matters anyway. I can get Havana, but don't have access to Al Fahker. I can get Layalina, Al Waha and Starbuzz though, so I guess I shouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250_is_mad Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hmmm I find AF and Havana kind of similar. Both are decent tobaccos.Layalina's where its at though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
