MatthewLee Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Twice now my molasses has tasted like hazelnut or some type of smokey/nutty flavor.First was with Al-Amir Strawberry/Kiwi. Second time was with Al-Fakher Banana. Pretty nasty on it's own but the roasted/nutty flavor just added to the foulness.I remember also just smelling Al-Amir Banana Split...still sealed in box...and it had this same aroma.Then with Nakhla Coconut, King Moassel Pina Colada and Pharoahs Sex On the Beach (not the same as SBuzz) I got a super plasticy smell and taste.Anyone experience this or have other weird flavors come through while smoking?

camelflage Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 most of my Al Waha tastes like plastic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekon Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 All of the romman flavors except mint havn't had any flavor. Coconut made my room smell like cocoa butter, good times smelled like a minty lemony flavor but the smoke had no flavor :\. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewLee Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Glad to hear i'm not the only one...I hate that plastic taste/smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 My Pharoahs Raspberry had a real odd taste to it - like Plastic with a side order of Diesel.Had to add honey and glycarin and leave it for about a month before i could smoke it - real odd.It could also just be a 'characteristic' of that flavour - IE : Al Fakhir strawberry has a huge coconut smell/taste.What coals are you using? Could the nutty taste be coming from the coals?JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewLee Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I was using the Japanese knock-offs, I recently switched to Stargate.With both coals i've noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bizarre!King - as discussed in the other thead - just by the look of the tobacco i'm sure it's cheaper somehow... If Sonthert picks up this thread he might be able to offer a more professional opinion on that.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 +1 to everything, all my AW's tasted like plastic except for one tub of A9 I got through a trade, Pharoahs was disgusting (tasted just like the Romman of the same flavor o_O), and the only unwashed brands I've had any luck with as far as flavor have been Tangiers and Al Qemah.

OPR234 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 All al amir flavors have that generic taste to them, but I don't know what you guys are thinking about al waha, I love that stuff as an everyday smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
