Nakhla...washed Or Un-washed?

[chinamon]

I know this is about Nakhla, but I wondering what are the washed and unwashed brands? and does it make a difference? If so what is it.

here is a list according to Mr Tangiers..

Un-Washed:
--------------
Tangiers
Romman
Nahkla
Al Waha
Abu Hitham

Partially Washed (Usually washed mixed with a little unwashed...to retain a little nicotine)
--------------------
Al Basha

Washed Completely
-----------------------
Al Amir
Al Fahker
Layalina
Starbuzz
Havana
Fumari
HookahHookah

Not all companies post correct numbers on their packages. Layalina does indeed claim 0.5% nicotine, but unless its changed, it is a lot closer to zero. Nahkla probably is 0.5%...that number is probably right for the amount of tobacco Nahkla has in it.

I smoked Nakhla 2 apples yesturday, had a pretty strong headrush.. I think some of the flavours are washed and some arent

[abu-ness]

nakhla is unwashed for sure

[Stuie]

Not to contradict Eric, but I emailed Fumari trying to find out there nicotine content and base last week for my review. The answers i got from Liz Akin at Fumari, the content is around 0.5% which is Unwashed. She maybe wrong, she wasn't very helpful.

[AKammenzind]

im pretty sure all nakhla is unwashed (0.5% nicotine)
and the el basha line from nakhla is washed (0.05%)

I'm gonna have to say no to el basha being washed. El Basha Cappuccino and rose give buzz like no other. Looks/smokes/tastes the same as all other Nakhla, so I'm thinkin it's unwashed as well.

Edit: I thought this was a new thread, then I looked at post dates. People bringing up year-old topics makes me wish I could slap them through the internets. Edited July 21, 2008 by AKammenzind

oh yeah, nakhla is most definitely Unwashed. My Apricot box said 0.5%. Sorry now picks for proof I Moved my Nakhla to Lock n Lock containers.

[hookah hippie]

Don't take those percentages to heart on the side of the box doesn't seem accurate it is an easy way to tell if it is washed or not but I don't believe the .5% nicotine content is a correct number

Common now, Nakhla wouldn't be Nakhla is it was washed.

I've been smoking Tangiers Lucid alot lately with very little to no buzz. Loaded up a bowl of Fumari the other day and it had me leaning back in my chair pretty hard. This leads me to believe its unwashed. Could be wrong though.

Actually... Fumari can't kick my ass hard too. It's quite funny.
