John Deere Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 rating: (a perfect 10) grape cough syrup mixed turpentine anyone? This is absolutely the WORST ma'assel I have ever tried. Thank you El Basha for ruining my night. Other than that, it was great and I highly recomend it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'll be sure to steer clear of this sh*t. Thanks for the warning At my local market where I buy my stuff from, Nahkla and El Basha are the same price, so I figured their quality was somewhere close to Nahkla, not that anything is wrong with Nahkla, but its just not my cup of tea.

John Deere Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 this stuff makes Nakhla seem like the rolls royce of ma'assel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR Bubble Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah, it seems all El Basha products have the same weird floral taste. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'v described the grape as smoking a grape tootsie roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 [quote name='John Deere']This is absolutely the WORST ma'assel I have ever tried.[/quote] Have you ever tried Nakhla Mixed Fruit? That stuff is pretty wierd tasting too. Maybe the two could rank the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Now..I think the Basha Grape is atleast smokeable....the Mixed fruit on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 No I have not tried mixed fruit, and if its anything like grape, keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 [quote name='mushrat']I'v described the grape as smoking a grape tootsie roll...[/quote] Now you say it tastes like a grape tootsie roll, but does that mean you also don't like it? I kinda like grape tootsie rolls. Still not sure if that means I'll start buying nahkla again, but we'll see.. I started on Nahkla brand and I have to say I really enjoyed their melon (cantelope). So don't think I still hate nahkla, I just think for a little more money, you can have better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 I would eat a tootsie roll, but I dont think I'd smoke one! oh, and alen, I did look at the box and its made by Nakhla, its their ultra light crap. You were right again! I have also lost my remaining respect for Nakhla for even making this stuff....I'm so disgusted, I cant even tell you.

MR Bubble Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I think the "nasty" you are tasting is the result of that "floral background. If you have ever tried the EL Basha Jasmine, you will know exactly what I mean. I'm thinking they do that to give the impression of "lightness." Playing on senses: Grape= flowers=lightness. Mixed fruit=toxic waste=fined by the EPA. Now, I've heard that the grape in the Jars are much better and I am half-tempted to try my luck. After all, I do load a bowl of the grape periodically (I guess to see if I'm still alive). MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Ohh I love the grape flavor. I always seem to have Al Waha grape on hand whenever I have tobacco. The only other grape flavors I've tried are Al Amir, and Al Fahker. I have to say the Al Fahker is the best for me out of the three, but Al Waha is so reasonable at 5.99 for 250g's. Al Amir is a solid medium. But yeah, because of the reviews grape is getting from Al Basha/Nahkla, I think I'll just steer clear of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Heh, Didn't say I would smoke the grape again if i didn't have to, just said it was at least smokaeable. And i meant POP not ROLL, was late. The Nakhla Melon is just fine however, I smoke a bowl of that every thursday at the only hookah cafe here in townn before SCA meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
