MatthewLee Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I searched the old threads and there were a few mentions, but nothing concrete about Pharaoh's potency/buzz factor.Any other opinions on this brand and how it compares to Nakhla and/or the other brands???

MechAnt Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) I've never smoked Nakhla but I for one can testify that Pharaoh's kicks the smoker in the ass. Definitely one of the stronger shishas on the market. I smoke cigarettes occasionally and they buzz me hard. Pharaoh's is ALMOST like that.

Johnny_D Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 not a chance!Nahkla is stronger than pharaoh's.Of course this is one of those 'how long is a piece of string' question.It appears, at least to me, that different tobacco's deliver nictoine differently? IE Nahkla kicks my bum. Tangiers does not, nor does Pharaoh's.I'm sure Sonthert will be along shortly to correct me JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Actually, its how many hairs do you have to pull out of a man's head before he is bald?I can't say for sure, I think it shouldn't make a difference...the honey, corn syrup or molasses may change the idling temperature of the tobacco which might change the speed with which the nicotine comes out.

MatthewLee Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks to everyone that commented. MechAnt: If Pharaoh's 'IS' like Nakhla i'm screwed, Nakhla's the only brand that made me hurl. JohnnyD: Nakhla destroyed me, hence my nervousness about Pharaoh's. You've boosted my confidence for the moment though. Sonthert: Makes perfect sense, thaks for the info. I'll save going bald and just try a few flavors for my self this weekend. I found 40 gram samplers at a local shop, seems like the time to try rather than buying 2 or 3 250g tubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 And as a side note, it has also been spelled "pharoh" in a few threads and early reviews. Type both spellings into the search if you want more reviews and info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bowl last night and man, it was like my first cigarette experience. WOW. Pharaohs does have a very high degree of potency but not as high as Nakhla. I think a moderate smoker should be just fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 As another side point, supposedly, Al Waha is the same as Pharoahs, same tobacco, same flavors, etc. The only difference is that big plastic container Pharoahs comes in and makes for a $4 difference in price.

Glottis2 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm not so sure about that, the consistency of Pharaoh's tobacco is much fluffier than the stickiness of Al Waha. To answer the OP's questions, I think that Pharaoh's is stronger than many brands and is at least somewhere near Nakhla, but I couldn't tell you for sure which is stronger.

ASUSEAN1 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 no im pretty sure it was al waha and rommann.. both honey based.. maybe? i think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I bet anything it's Romman and Pharaohs. Their sweet melons taste exactly the same, same chunky cut, EVERYTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
