The New dikydave reviews

[dikydave]

I havent seen many new review posts being started so i figured i would
throw my 2cents in on what I have tried so far.  Keep in mind I
havent been smoking my own stuff that long...maybe like 2 weeks. 
Smoked alot of other stuff off of friends for awhile last year but had
no idea what it was...that said, onto the reviews!
(in order of my first trying them)
*all reviews smoked using golden coals and my Nile hookah from hookah shisha*

Al Waha Strawberry:

Nose Hit : 
Shazam!  My first idea to just eat this and god willing find out
what happens to my digestive system was out the window after licking my
fingers...but man this stuff just smells good.  Not like real
strawberries, more like...a really sweet strawberry air freshner.

Cut :  Pretty good.  very little stems and incredibly moist for a 50g box.

Smoke Density:  decent.  i mean...plenty to get by, but not as much compared to the romman i have tried*coming up later*

Taste:  O
man...this is delicious.  Very strong fruity flavor...really right
now, it is one of my favorites.  This is definately an everyday
smoke for me.  I cant say anything more than... if you like fruity
flavors, especially a strawberrish one, you cant go wrong with this.

(makes my room smell like a dream)

Romman Grape:
Nose Hit :  I can kinda smell the grape to it.  Not that strong a smell, but smells good nonetheless.

Cut:  Dripping well cut maassell... end of story.

Smoke Density:  Wowza!  Huge puffy white clouds that reach
the good spot at the bottom the lungs... u know..the pure innocent part
that you were saving until you got old and those would be the only good
parts left...well no more.

Taste: 
Where?  It tastes more like just smoking some sugar...good tasty
sugar, but the very faint hint of grape just isnt as satisfying as i
would hope.  A good mixer, I've mixed it with some Nakhla apple i
have laying around and it works great.
Rating:  6 out of 10  -  Would taste good if there was a taste.

Al Waha Apple:
Nose Hit:  Now
that smells like some apple there.  Not overly strong, but smells
enough like apple that you can smell it through the package and guess
right eaazy.

Cut:  Not incredibly great.  A couple big stems threw me off.  But good and moist.

Smoke Density: 
Not the greatest.  It gets by, but I would definately like some
better smoke output.  Maybe i just need to up the coal on this one.

Taste:  Hey it's
apples!  More of a red apple flavor,  not overly strong, but
good enough that you know what you are smoking.  A good everyday
smoke maybe everyonce in awhile.  Pretty sweet....but that's what
I like.  A good apple nonetheless.
Rating:  7.5 out of 10

Romman Peach:

Nose Hit: 
Omfg...i just handed the empty box to my gf and said...take a guess
what this is...she got it on the first try.  Friggn great
smell...makes the mouth water.

Cut:  This stuff is just dddrippping.  Im tempted to even dry it out...but it goes good so no worries. No stems.

Smoke Density:  I
cant make the smoke stop coming from my body...i cant see the tv
anymore through this haze of white smoke in front of my face...just
great, best smoke ive had yet.

Taste: 
...listen..just stop reading this and go buy some....if u dont like
it...ill buy it from u.  and probably wonder about your lack of
taste buds.  Great peach flavor, so strong and sweet i could just
smoke it all day(and have....)  Really this is probably the most
flavor(good flavor) ive gotten out of a smoke yet.  Just
delicous.  But i just cant decide between it and the al waha
strawberry sometimes....so i get bored and mix it and blow my mind.
Rating: 9 out of 10 ....w00t.
(coming up next, Nakhla Apple...Ive already tried it...just that the xfiles is on and that's enough reviews for...this hour.)

[MR Bubble]

Cool reviews. I love hearing fresh perspectives on classic flavors.
MR Bubble

[mushrat]

Excellent reviews! I especially like the Grape review, the deep part of your lungs remark got me chuckling even before my coffee, and that's no small feat!
And I have to agree...Romman peach is about as good as it gets.
Keep up the good work!

[wyteboy]

great reviews and I agree, fantastic lung comment!  If you like the ROmman Peach, I highly suggest trying Fumari's White Peach, it is an amazingly great, unique peach flavor.
Happy smoking!

[Mathazar]

Romman Peach ROCKS!!!  Nice Reviews Man!!! 

[cypress]

Great reviews. Keep them up. I am glad we are moving back to quality posts. 

[dikydave]

Thanks everyone!  I've just always got some much out of reading
everyone elses reviews, it only feels right to post some myself, plus i
like trying out all the different brands I can.
BTW... I got meh package from cypress!! w00t!  I'll be sampiling
this later today, Al Amasi Orange I believe and will have a review of
that tonight.  As for now, I'ma run to the nearby tobacco store
and get me some djarum blacks and for the first time see what the guy
has hookah wise, get back to ya all later.  thanks again cypress!

[dikydave]

Alright fellow members and random lurkers, it's that time again....lets crank up the old review machine:

Nakhla Apple:

Nose Hit:  Meh...i can
smell a light licorice smell, which disappoints me right away, as i was
hoping that there wouldnt be much.  A sort of sickly apple smell,
o boy.

Cut:  Stems stems
everywhere...but too small to pick out, so their gettin smoked. 
Shouldnt really be a problem, but really shows the low grade of the
maassell.  Not overly moist, but moist enough, probably just right
really to ensure good cooking.

Smoke Density:  Lots of
smoke....like...tons of smoke.  Definately enough to satisfy my
internal urge to fill both my room and body with smoke.

Taste:  Hmm... a little
different.  There is definately a light licorice flavor too it,
but after awhile i can just sort of ignore it and auctually taste the
apple of it.  All around not horrible, but it is a heavier type of
smoke, really weighs ya down.

Rating:  7 out of 10 
-  Not altogether bad...but not altogether good either(doesnt make
my room smell as good as others which is a shame)


Al Amasi Orange:  sent to
me by our own cypress, much thanks to him for helping me expand my
horizons.  Truthfully i wouldnt know wtf he sent me if he didnt
say so first since everything on this package is in squiggly letters
that they dont teach in any school ive been too.

Nose Hit:  hmm... just a
bit odd.  Can smell the orange, but has a sort of chemically
orange smell too it.  Not altogether unlike that orange cleaner
stuff.  Opening the bag is basically like walking into a newly
cleaned bathroom that used that stuff....so...ya.

Cut:  Lots of goop and
some tobacco in there somewhere.  Chunky.  Dont see any
stems, but then again i dont really see much except goop.

Smoke Density:  Plenty.  More than plenty.  Enough to shake a very big stick at.  Im talkn a 3-4 foot stick.

Taste:  Hmm... really it
does have a pretty orangey taste to it.  When i first tried it it
was in the morning before i was really awake and then it just didnt
taste all too good.  Trying it later I could taste the orange too
it a bit more.  But it is more like a menthol orange flavor,
definately cools the lungs like a menthol smoke.  So i would
consider it more of a mint orange. 

Rating:  6 out of 10 -
just cant get the idea out of my head that there is more chemicals in
this stuff than i want to be smoking.  Later I tried smoking it
with orange juice in the base...and it was frrrigggn delicious! 100x
better that way, so
8 out of 10 with orange juice as the base, hehe.

Thats all for now, im auctually all out of flavors, gunna haveta wait
til i smoke all of this up.  I tried the local tobacco shop and
all the guy had was some off brand coffee flavor and licorice
flavor...both which get thumbs down automatically.  He did have
golden coals though so that's handy.  Anyways, cya round.

[alen]

i have never liked orange flavour but i bought me a pack of nakhlas mandarin and that was really ok -a little sour orange flavourwell worth trying

[uselessdreamer1]

nice reviews, helps me out on what to try. thanks!

[dikydave]

I'm going to be ordering a 10 pack al-waha sampler 50g thing from
social smoke within the next hour or two(gotta couple errands to do
first).  I'm doing this mainly because it's cheap, i havnt had any
problems with alwaha flavors yet, and it seems like a good way to try
alot of flavors.  so hopefully within the week i will have some
more reviews to post.  if you have any recommendations on what
flavors i should order, go ahead and post em before i order.

[Mathazar]

The last time I smoked Al-Waha Double Apple in a local hookah
lounge,  it gave me a MASSIVE headache.  I would reccommend
that instead of Al-Waha,  perhaps you could order some Nakhla
Double Apple & Lemon.  Those are my two favorites in that
brand 

[dikydave]

double apple isnt going to happen....i detest licorice flavor (except
surprisingly in my djarum blacks, but there's only a hint).... as of
right now im going to go with the following:
5star
cola
lemon
melon
honey
gum
candy
strawberry
mixed fruit
pineapple

[uselessdreamer1]

nice choice. i cant wait for reviews.

[great glavin]

i look forward to seeing more reviews from you, your romman grape was right on.

[Mathazar]

Yeah,  you were definitely right-on with the Romman Grape, 
there's absolutely no flavor worth mentioning.  I've got a full
container of it sitting on my desk at the bottom of all my other Romman
flavors,  and I've been avoiding the Grape 

Great reviews man,  keep em' coming 

[dikydave]

Alright everybody, time to fire up teh old review machine.  Whack it!

Today we will have the greatest Al Waha ( AW Al-Waha )(for searching)
rundown that i have seen on here. so let's a go.(mario voice)(these
will be mostly brief, cause theres alot to do)

Al Waha Cola:

Nose Hit:  Well daayym.  That is a strong cola smell.  Can definately tell what it is right outta the package.

Cut:  Very nice.  For somereason all of the following Al Waha
flavors I am going to review are the best cut Ive ever gotten from
AW.  Very fine cut and all wet and preserved good for just being
box package.

Smoke Density:  Huge an puffy, but truthfully that's all I get outta this hookah anymore, got the science down.

Taste:  At first it was ok, you could taste the cola pretty
good.  But then it AMPS UP!  And truthfully, it was just too
much for me.  I was expecting more of a flat-coke sort of taste
that I first got, but it quickly became a spicy coke sort of
flavor.  After about 15mins, i really couldnt take it and I'm
afraid to try it again, just smelling it scares me.  I've had bad
dreams.

Rating:  Just stay away, unless you think you have some sort of
thing to prove to your friends.  Or buy it and bet them to smoke
it all.  Be a good bet.  3 out of 10.  Im going to try
it with coke in the base later....much later.


Al Waha Honey:

Nose:  I guess that's honey.  I dont really know, have never
dived into a pool of honey like i have many other of these
flavors. 

Taste:  4 hits after it got fired up was enough for me. 
Tasted like a moldy attic that was on fire.  As tasty as that
sounds, I would rather smoke toenails.  Just....no.

Rating: 0 out of 10 - and i dont like giving 0's, but my urge to just
throw this away is outweighed by my urge to not put such a burden on
the environment.


Al Waha Pineapple:

Nose:  A very syrupy smell.  Can smell the pineapple, but it's very dark and deep kinda of smell.

Taste:  Very smooth, truthfully a very nice pineapple taste. 
Very pineappley, but has a sort of chocolate type of hint in it. 
I would recommend to anyone that wants doesnt have a sort of islandy
fruit in their stash yet.

Rating:  8 out of 10


Al Waha Melon:

Nose: omfg, this is strong.  The melon smell is dead on. 
Like splitting open a cantelope and shoving it in my face. forcefully.
kinda stings the nostrils.  smells more cantelopey than a real
one, figure that.

Taste:  This is a very strong flavor.  Tons of smoke btw,
possibly the most ive ever gotten.  Just huge melony flavor, and
instantly one of my favorites, but the strength of it means that you
have to really be in the mood for it, or it will destroy u. and your
whole family.

Rating:  9 out of 10 - Im sure there might be better out there, I challenge thee.

Al Waha Lemon:

Nose:  a distinct kind of low key lemon smell.  not quite
real lemon, not quite lemon pledge, not quite lemon drop, but not a bad
smell at all.

Taste:  I really like this.  This is my favorite out of all
the 10 flavors I picked up.  I could smoke this everyday and it
wouldnt be enough.  A good lemon flavor, not extremely sweet but
still very good.  Would recommend at least a try from someone who
thinks they have already found their favorite lemon.  If you have
already tried this and have found better, please tell me, because it
would undoubtedly stun me.

Rating: 9.2(ya .2 how u like me now?) out of 10 - end of story


Al Waha 5 Star:

Nose:  Weirdness.  I'm sure theres fruit in there somewhere,
but i definately know what people mean about the chemical smell. 
If I had no idea what it was, I would guess a mix of grape and
strawberry.

Taste:  A strong yet mellow flavor.  Not incredibly bad, but
not incredibly good.  Leaves a weird taste in the mouth.  But
still I wouldn't mind smoking this some more, and my gf liked it alot,
so again it could just be me.

Rating: 7 out of 10


I've smoked the Al Waha Gum but I'm going to try it again just to make
sure on it and write a quality review.  Still have to open and try
the Candy and Mixed Fruit, but I'm so busy trying to smoke all of these
other up, so who knows when i'll get to that, hopefully before end of
next week.  To recap......dont smoke the honey unless you have a
sadistic need to injure yourself and those around you.
