coop289 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I purchased a box for Golden Seal Al Falkher Eskandarani Apple and Grape from south smoke. The apple smells great but the Grape smells like its rotten and makes me gag. Is it bad? Its dated Feb 2007.Does it need to sit out for a whyle and acclimate or something?

oggie505#2 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 The golden grape is an aquired taste and its smell is nothing like grape, I have some and never smoke it, I hate the flavor. But the golden e-apple is one of my top favs, and I am sure you will like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anathema Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have Golden Seal Grape. It's not bad, it's not good. It just has a unique grape flavor(which isn't bad or good), and yeah it smells funky. Nothing special about this Golden Seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insidius Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Oh, no. I just ordered some of this Golden Grape and now I'm worried. I should have gone with the regular grape, damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it sitting out on my table after I got it and my mom asked me what smelled so bad. The only positive was that I got insanely thick, block-out-the-sun-thick, clouds from it... even though it was like I was smoking vomit.

newsman Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I love AF, but I think the golden seal line is not worth the extra $, especially grape. Go with the regular AF grape instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The regular Af grape is kinda wierd to me. i prefer nakhla style candy grape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemab4y Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I thoroughly enjoy the apple flavor, I have never tried the grape, but then grape is not one of my favorite flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only heard good things about this particular flavor.So far regular AF grape and orange are my favorite flavors, they just taste so good. I was smoking out of my new nammor with the 36" AF last night and I got the thickest clouds I have EVER gotten......was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_lech Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I take back what I said about the Apple. It's doing pretty good right now. Not my fave, but the smoke is good and the flavor is def. the best apple I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Mahone Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) The Eskandarani Apple is awsome! Never had the golden grape but the regualr grape is top notch. Their number 1 selling regular flavor I think. Put some wine or grape juice in the vase with some regular grape and you'll love it!Head Edited July 14, 2007 by Head Mahone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
