al-amir input, help!


Recommended Posts

so tobaccoimport was out of the af grape and cherry so I am ordering af straw and gs af esk apple from them.  I am ordering 50g af grape from thehookah.com and since it is $10 s/h no matter I what I figured might as well throw in a 50g of al-amir or two.  They have al-amir: apple, double apple, grape, honeydew melon, mixed fruit, orange, strawberry...anything worth smoking? like REALLY worth smoking??
also anyone ever order from them?  experiences = good or bad?
someone said they didn't like the cust service of tobaccoimport but the lady I spoke to, Carrie (sp?) was extremely helpful.
thanks all! disappointed I can't seem to find AF Cherry anywhere in 50g and BNN is all out of 50g packs, how is that possible?!

p.s. I am a little nervous cause she said the esk apple and strawberry both don;'t have a date on them when I asked if they were fresh...but she said they only had 1 50g of each left and they sell really fast so she figured it was probably pretty new stuff...we'll see I guess.

the guy was actually a bit rude and said he had NO CLUE and no earthly idea of when they will be getting them back in...
That being said, if anyone else orders from AF when they do get the 50g packs in, hit me up first so I can get in on that :)
Post office was closed so the MO for the nour coal, the af straw and gs esk apple and the af grape will go out tomorrow.
I know some people on here have smoked al-amir, are any of those flavors really, really good??
Later tonight I'll post more reviews in my final thread.

I'm sure he's not real pleased with being out of the stuff to begin with, then being quizzed about it to boot probably didn't improve his mood much.
Wyte: there are no middle eastern/chinese/ethnic type grocers around to find natural charcoal so you arent stuck with 3 kings?

well I didn't quiz him, I just asked if he knew when they'd be back in, lol!
I live in the middle of BFE, Ct which sucks and so no...but I am getting a bag of the nour from hookah-shisha.com...costing me with s/h almost $17 but it will be worth it when I can smoke with them constantly...
THe question is whether or not the smaller or larger hole pattern will work best with the larger, ashier coals that the nour are compared to the 3king.

After reading ZJZs earlier reviews, I am going to throw in a 50g of Al-Amir grape and strawberry into my order. gotta pay the $10 anyway, right? :)  these and the 2 flavors that alen is sending me will probably be the last new flavors I ever try :)  ::sniff sniff, tear tear::

Good choice with the AL Amir grape. I think grape and strawberry are their best. In all this time I never have tried their apple. Now that's hard to believe. But I did try their XX apple and found it to be less than up to standard, however, ZooJohnny likes it. Anyone heard from him lately?

Use it more often.  It helps keep the forum clean.

Just to not be a prick, I have a 250g jar of Amir grape which hasn't
been opened yet.  I'm hoping for it to be good since most of the
past reviews are ok for it.  Pretty cheap too.

ended up ordering a 50g of af grape and a 50g of al-amir strawberry based on ZJZs glowing review awhile back.  speaking of ZJZ, anyone know where he has been? haven't seen him on here in forever.

Im right here actually 

 And yes, although I have not smoked it in quite a while I
remember Al-Amir's Strawberry, Grape, XX Apple, and Peach to all be
fantastic. I never tried their single Apple, but the others are all
worth a go for sure.

  The Strawberry is extremely realistic, the Grape tastes much
like grape bubblegum, the Peach is very much like Romman's (I.E. very good),
and the double apple really nicely balanced. Almost all Apple flavor on
the draw but leaving a thick coating of licorice flavor in your throat
after a few minutes.

 So yes, I would say to deffinately give Al-Amir a go if your in need of a new taste experiance


  But as I said this is all from memory... the only things I have
been smoking lately (before my surgery) were Al-Fakher Grape, Al-Fakher
GS Eskandarani Apple, and lots of Nakhla and El-Basha flavors (Apple,
Strawberry, Cherry, Mint, Orange, Lemon, Rose, Caramel, etc.).

last new flavor is the al-amir strawberry cause I really want a mindblowingly good strawberry so I figured couldn't hurt to try it for $3.25 with free shipping, lol.  I honestly have no real reason after everythign I have tried to try other new stuff....I am psyched to get my shipment of the AF stuff in sometime late next week but before then I will finish off the remaining af gs esk apple and the af straw I have, prob a total of 3 bowls of ma'assel left, may try an experiment and mix the two and see how that goes tomorrow.
gnite everyone, happy smoking!
