Havana and Al-Qemah

[MonkeyBiz]

I read the reviews on some of the Havana flavors, and I was wondering
if anyone had any favorites other than Grape and Cola? Also, has anyone
tried Al-Qemah? Any word on what's good and what's not? Thanks.

I bought a tub of Al-Qemah Strawberry for $20 from my local hookah shop, because they said it was the "Mercedes of shisha" when compared to Nahkla and Fakher.
I smoked it three times, got a headache every time and gave it away. The stuff smelled great, the cut was thick and it was very juicy. The smoke was just too ...tobaccoey... for me. I'd say stick to the cheaper brands and if you feel like spending more, get some Romman.

I've smoked all the Al-Qemah flavors and it is truly a premium
brand........HOWEVER, it's not for everybody.  I don't know
anything else that taste quite like Al-Qemah. It can be a little (or a
lot) strange when you first try it.
It's one of those things you either love or you can't stand.

It's made with a specific type of tobacco and I think the process of
making the ma'assel is different in some way so they end up with more
tobacco flavor.

So try it..... If you like the flavor of a high end tobacco with fruit
kinda' in the background then you'll probably like Al-Qemah.

There were several Havana flavors I didn't like,  I won't mention those because the list is too long.

I'm smoking Havana Double Apple right now and though it's comparable in
flavor to Romman Double Apple,  it's FAR smoother.  Your
first hit will be SO smooth,  you'll be blown away by it if you've
been smoking harsh ma'assel such as Nakhla.

Here are my favorite Havana flavors:

Double Apple,  Lemon,  Special Grape,  Mango,  Cola, Cappuccino,  and Pipe.

Here are the flavors I'll be trying as soon as they come in:

Cherry,  Plum,  Pineapple,  Coconut,  and I think that's it. 

I'll let you know how these flavors taste when I've had a chance to
smoke them,  which should be in next week or thereabouts

Well,  you don't know what you're missing.  Some of it is pretty damn good

Blonde: for the money, it sounds like there are better brands of smoke. This is just from what I've read. There is a place here with 3 shelves of havana..looks like every flavour ever made...SCARY.
