JillyIsJustKidding Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 First off, it doesn't really smell much of oranges..Maybe a lil but it smells like tea 0_oDid I get a fake? It looks like the hold packaging. It has AF's official website in it...But on the inside of the carton, it has "Al Fakhir" all over?Did anyone get this same smell/taste with the AF old packaging?Or is it a fake?

Muhammad Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 It seems like you got a fake, but with the way some of the al-akher reviews are going who knows. If you could post a picture of the actual box the other members will probably instantly tell you if it's fake or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyIsJustKidding Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Here's the part of the box that shows the date thingy (Sorry if you can't see it clearly.

poopooshaboo Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Mush posted somewhere that AF only has one date, the production date. Though I could swear the last AF tub I got had both dates on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm dissapointed that it tastes like tea...I mean I like tea but...It says its supposed to be Orange :[Hehe! What if this was actually a batch of an experimental flavor that accidently packaged into my AF orange? >_< I'd be like "Wow" if they ever come out with a "Red Tea" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll add some tea and sugar to the base and see how it is next time I smoke it Edited December 1, 2007 by JillyIsJustKidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oolatec Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Ya I think it's legit too... plus this is part of your order from H-S, right? Don't think you have to worry about that. I have some AF Orange actually. It does smell a bit strange, but with a definite orangeness to it. Smokes real good IMO, but not really tea like. Then again, no two people's taste buds are alike. If you enjoy it, that's all that really matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
