[LB] Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 hey great reviews i really like this! by the way i see you didnt really like the nakhala arabic coffee, or the other cappucino brand you tried TRY AF CAPPUCINO! DELICIOUS excpet the flavor fills the hose and stays in it so dedicate a hose to it but the flavor is so delicious it makes my mouth water thinking about taking a puff from a bowl of af capp. and about tangiers- i wanna try that cooling it sounds good, but you really need to follow all the instructions, especially the one about leaving it out for a few hours thats key to smoking tangiers itlll improve your session %500! thanks for the reviews!

great glavin Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 [b]Fumari Banana:[/b] Has a great banana smell to it, typical fumari juicyness and cut. This flavor has a nice medium strength banana taste. It tastes pretty good and lasts through the whole smoke. I found it fun to mix with other flavors as well. Can get kinda picky with the heat/flavor realtionship but if you get it packed and coaled right it rocks. [b]Rating: 8.5 out of 10[/b] [b][/b] [b]Al Amir Sweet melon:[/b] Has a slight melon smell and good cut. Upon smoking i was disapointed. I got the classic al amir sweetness, but no flavor everytime i tried this. It really doesnt have that much flavor. La Amir is great, but this flavor is a dud. [b]Rating: Not worth the money[/b] [b][/b] [b]Havana Sweet Melon:[/b] Juicy and has kinda a weird smell that isnt quite sweet melon. Upon lighting it up the only taste i can get, is mild cinnamon. Im serious, it tastes like cinnamon, not so much tasting the melon as baking cinnamon rolls really. The bootom line is, nahkla sweet melon kicks the sh*t out of these two.

great glavin Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 [b]Golden AF Grape:[/b] This flavor is a monster. Has a weird grapish smell and is [b]juicy[/b]. The first time i left it open it smelled up the whole house, the first time i smoked it it smelled up the whole house. Also turns the water a deep red after smoking (into wine). The flavor is weird, but good. Smokes well the whole way through and is a beast. Thick smoke and solid flavor. This is the best grape ive had. Havana Grape is almost identical to this one, except it has a kind of weird taste after awhile and is a tiny bit weaker in flavor. I like it, but it is definitely one of the weirder ma'assels i've tried. [b]Rating: 9 out of 10[/b] [b][/b] [b]Golden AF esk. Apple:[/b] Smells like a flowery apple, a little drier than most if not all of the Al Fahker ive seen. Smoke was good and now to the flavor. After smoking through almost all of this ive found that there is a definite green apple flavor, it was just kinda hard to nail at first. It tastes good and smokes well. It has a nice sweetness and seems "lighter" than alot of the stuff i normally smoke. Tastes a little flowery but has a green apple edge ive never tasted before (more green apple taste identifiable then say fumari sour apple). [b]Rating: 9 out of 10[/b] [b]AF Double Apple:[/b] Juicy and has a strong licorice/apple smell, typical AF cut and wetness. This flavor has both a nice apple taste, and a very strong licorice taste. This flavor smokes better as a licorice then most licorices ive tried (fumari, romman, AF, sultan, Al waha, and layalina (and more)). I like the taste of this and i place it with a tie for some of the other apples out there (havana, AF one apple, romman apple.)

Sonthert Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ooooh. Now this IS exciting. Finally, a thread I can warm up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great glavin Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 [b]Tangiers Double Orange:[/b] To start out with this is the 2nd best orange ive tried (the first being hookah hookah's). The tobacco has kinda like a flowery orange aroma. Cut and Color is identical to other tangiers stuff. The taste is a light/medium strength fresh orange flavor with a sort of flowery edge. The orange flavor is more natural than artificial (romman/Al amir orange for example) and comes across nicely. [b]Rating: 8 out of 10[/b] [b]Tangiers Juicy Peach:[/b] This was the flavor i decided to smoke first when i got my order, why? The smell. I havent smelled a tobacco with such a natural peach aroma, at least it really seems that way. The taste, this peach has a lighter flavor than fumari's white peach but is sweeter, it tastes more natural than both fumari's and romman's peach. I like the natural peach flavor, this tobacco is definitely something i will smoke all of. [b]Rating: 8.5 out of 10[/b] [b][/b] [b]Tangiers Licorice:[/b] This was a more serious matter for me. I have spent alot of money and searched alot looking for a licorice that can rival Afzal's 250g bag of aniseed which i can no longer find (and not their 10 gram individual packs, they suck.) What Afzal aniseed had was power, it was a flavor that had a back of the throat overpowering feeling like the strongest mint/menthol and a wonderful and VERY pronounced licorice taste. I wasnt disapointed by this flavor though, this IS the closest match ive gotten to that flavor yet. The uber licorice flavor is there, but its pretty light. I still enjoyed this licorice though. [b]Rating: 7.5 out of 10, a licorice flavor worth buying.[/b] [b][/b] [b]Tangiers Mint:[/b] Has a less powerful mint smell than i am used to (AF, Al waha, Fumari). First off, this flavor doesnt have a strong mint herbal taste, its there, but on a light/medium scale. The Back of throat cooling sensation is just as strong as al fahker in my opinion and this flavor has great stamina as well (a backdraw of some mint flavors). [b]Rating: 8.5 out of 10[/b] [b][/b] [b]A note about tangiers: [/b]This is one of the strongest tobacco's ive smoked out of a hookah, i cant really smoke more than 2 bowls a day and dont desire to that much (except for juicy peach, which was rockin.) This brands smoke output is great and has a better brand specific taste undertone than alot of other brands (fumari, AF, romman, hookah hookah).

great glavin Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 [b]A review on my review implications:[/b] A review of not worth the money is just that. A review of 7 to 8 is worth checking out if you prefer that flavor out of what i consider the 3 flavor genre's (mints, colas, licorices), (friuts), (Apples)and are looking to expand your tastebuds (and lungs). A review of 8.5 to 9 is something you should have in stock in your hookah tobacco collection. And is always considered a "good" flavor. A review of 9.5 to 10 is something you should have, and if you are ordering flavors, is something you should order first. These are just my thoughts and opinions when it comes to [b]my[/b] reviews. Next reviews to be posted. HH brand: mango, butterscotch, menthol, spearmint, orange, jamacian rum (i like this one), and hazelnut. Also- Romman fruit cocktail "the flavor that got me hook'd" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yeah, Liquorice is a real pain to get good, eh? I have a couple of people that go nuts for it. Thanks for the reviews, hope you are enjoying it. Try regular orange; double orange is a mix of orange, lemon, liquorice and rose. It may not be your exact speed.
