mushrat Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 So, I got some af melon from jd (thanks again man). Had it in a pack when i went to my local hookah cafe for my pre-SCA meeting smoke. They serve Nakhla melon, which i started with, and ended up striking up a conversation with one of the owners. Showed him the AF tub and asked if he'd ever tried it. He said he'd never seen it before so I opened it up and offered him some to try. He come back with a second hookah for me packed with the af and one for himself. It was definitly different than the nakhla...smoother...but I wasn't impressed with the flavour. I'm thinking it was just the huge hookahs they use there and I suspect he didn't have enough coals on it. (anyone else notice the smoke is pinkish? odd.) He said it was good and asked me how much it costs, shook his head when I told him, and took it over for some of his friends to try. I'm going to bring him some more samples tomorrow. Definitly some af gs esk. apple and what little Sara I have left. Kinda funny introducing the owner of a hookah cafe to new brands and flavours, but who knows, may be the start of something. I'm going to pack a bowl of it MY way tomorrow and then do a brief review of the af melon. Just passing along a quick story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 What is this pre-SCA meeting you speak of? Does your local hookah cafe have special events or something? By the way, before I had my own hookah and used to go to the cafe's to smoke, I watched the guys packing our bowl and notice they were just slap-dicking the tobacco/foil together. They oviously don't have the same time we do at home to pack it just the right way, but yeah our bowl wasn't as tasty at the shop as when we do it at home. I wanna hear more about this meeting stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 22, 2005 Author Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ahhh..well..if you look at my avitar, which i need to replace, it is 2 guys in suits of armour. the one on the left is me. The SCA is the Society for Creative Anachronisms, [url="http://www.sca.org"]www.sca.org[/url] an international medieval recreation group. Among other things we do full force, full contact armoured combat. Our meetings here are on thursdays so I always stop in for a snack and a hookah before the meetings.

cypress Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have a sample of AF melon. I smoked it once. I am not too fond of melon flavor but if i was it was not bad. I have to smoke it again to give it a review. I will be glad to see yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
