Zerodynamic Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey all, long time no see! I'm planning a party here on the weekend, and I am going to have a lot of inexperienced hookah smokers joining me. So, while I'm not going to break out the good stuff (i.e. my kashmir) I want the noobies to have something decent to smoke.So... if you were a new smoker, what would strike your fancy?

Johnny_D Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 You gotta go with what you know.I think just about everything started with either Double Apple or Cherry.Break out the Nahkla - Traditional bowls and get your heat down!JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calcartman Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Set up a strawberry bowl. Something sweet and smoothe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I got a great response from some orange cream made from leftover SB orange and Layalina vanilla. Otherwise I go with what I'm most experienced with, my case being AF. Haven't had anyone come after me with pitchforks or torches yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symptom CY Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cherry Cola and Chocolate Mint have been real crowd pleasers in my experience. I once had a crowd of amateurs go crazy over Kashmir Peach, too... I was impressed. A lot of the ladies didn't like it though, just because it was so strong...

*HOT&SMOKING* Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If you wanna go orange cream then Al-Waha orange cream is definelty the way to go....it ROCKS.I wrote a review on it in the review section it is one helluva flavour.-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The best thing you can do is keep it simple: Double Apple and/or basic fruit flavors like peach, raspberry, or strawberry./300th post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Quick question, sorry about the thread hijack - to those that have introduced hookah to a lot of people: Do the people usually start coughing after they take a hit? Strangest thing... they can handle chain-smoking cigs for the longest time but die on the hookah. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahwahoo2006 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If you are smoking a cigar right, you should not actually be inhaling. Also, everyone is different physiologically - you never really know what individual reactions people might have. I would also speculate that because the smoke is cooler you might be able to inhale it deeper than with cigarettes. I am not a doctor though (I just play on on TV).

SammyDDS Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 vodka or absinth in the base and licorice or double apple in the bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahlife Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey Guys,If you have newbies smoking with you, give them something that will really make them drool for hookah. Here are some general flavors and brands that come to mind:1. Al Fakher Golden Apple2. Layalina Watermelon3. Al Fakher Cherry4. Havana Raspberry5. Nakhla Peach6. Al Waha After Nine7. Layalina PassionfruitKeep it simple for them to start of with. If they really enjoy it, kick it up a notch by throwing in some mint with the mix, and maybe something in the base. Who knows maybe they'll start liking hookah more then us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangest thing... they can handle chain-smoking cigs for the longest time but die on the hookah. *shrug*i have introduced hookah to many noobs, most of whom are non-smokers and they can all handle hookah smoke. their first puff is usually followed by the phrase "wow, this is really smooth. a lot smoother than cigarettes."as for which flavour, i say grape. i smoked all the noobs with havana grape and they all loved it. i cant wait until i get some starbuzz white grape.

Frands Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 LoL . You made me laugh here, although it may not be very funny. Well, I must say, in the beginning of my smoker career I also only wanted the nicotine buzz... Then I got a hookah where one could actually taste the tobacco (my old one was so crappy.. you would cough and choke after 2 inhales :S) and then I wanted to smoke just 'cause of the niceness of the taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
