Jamal Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Always wondered, what inspired the name Al Fakher and is the creator called Al Fakher? (serious question) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakescakes Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 as far as I know Al Fakher means "the proud" is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoyote Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Just ordered a 250 three pack - mint, grape, strawberry. I've tried their mint before and it was awesome good. The other flavors got good reviews here. Thanks again to the forum members for providing some impression of the flavors. I'd be lost without you guys. With ups ground, you can get this for just over $30. Will post vendor review when I receive goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Man, they ship fast too! My package I ordered Friday is currently awaiting me @ the post office and I only paid for USPS Prority! Sweetness - vendor review when I get it tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocrap Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've always wondered, does Al Fakher Golden have the same amount of nicotine as regular Al Fakher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 i read somewhere that al qeman or their other special line had more nicotine than golden and regular...i think it was on hookahcompany that i read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yep, I'll vouch for Al Qemah having more nicotine. The strawberry's a killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocrap Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 But what about Golden Al Fakher? Is it washed or unwashed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Just placed an order for the 36" brass beast they got as well as some charcoal, I couldn't spend anymore for some Golden shisha (i've met my limit for this paycheck >.<), but i'll be getting at lease 3 tubs in about a week or so. I called their office because I noticed that I didn't get to select with my internet order the 2 free flavours of bacca they promised, but I was none-the-less greeted by a nice young woman who not only made sure I got the orange and grape I wanted, but also had a nice little convo with me yay! They have wonderful customer service and I'm sure I'll be ordering almost all of my Shisha from them (as I mostly smoke AF anyway).I'll post a review for both hookah and service once I get my christmas presents--the nice lady also told me that I get chocolate with each order!!!!!!

You just get 1 50g box with a "Small Al Fakher Hookah" (26" not really that small) and 2 50g box with a "Large Al Fakher Hookah" plus some other various goodies. Its just like most of the other sites where you get free goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Damn, I'm pretty sure I'm getting the small one for fathers day and I doubt I'll get any tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoyote Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Something isn't quite right when the "only official Al Fakher Retailer on the internet" is shipping out of date product. All three tubs were past their freshness date. Grapes:July 2006, Strawberry: March 2007, Mint: March 2007. The price was right, delivery prompt, even sent some free mouthpiece tips. But failing to disclose this is a serious omission, even if here is nothing "wrong" with the product. What say you Al Fakher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But failing to disclose this is a serious omission, even if here is nothing "wrong" with the product.The Strawberry and Mint tubs are actually very fresh. I believe the dates on them are when they were packaged similar to the "born on date" on beer. Tobacco stays fresh for several years, so the Grapes is still good. I rarely find AF tubs with dates of less than 8 months ago from the time of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may even order again, just like it when a vendor is straightforward about all the details. Has anyone received flavors that are within the freshness date?

If so my sincere apologies to alfakher.com I just opened the grapes, and it truly smells fantastic. Edit: BTW, I'm smoking the grape now, and it is truly fine.
