cowboyz-smoke-shisha Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi all,I'm a newb on the forum but have been smoking for over 3 years. Anyways back to the topic. I got my first hookah September of 2007 and with the I got Al Fahker Golden Grape and White Grape. I had been smoking it for quite some time before, and those aren't the only flavors i smoke/d. For some reason unknown to me I can no longer taste the grape flavors. I don't have this problem with any other flavor I smoke. It always tastes like wood smoke, it's not all grape either it seems to just be al fahker. I don't really know maybe I'm just crazy or maybe the coals are giving off some flavor that is more powerful than the grape. Any ideas people have for me are welcomed. or if you think I'm crazy let me know haha. (coals are always fully lit)Setup:30" egyptian SS hookah15-20g tobaccoNour Finger coalsIce water.

ahwahoo2006 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 If you are getting good flavor from different types of tobacco with the same setup it is most likely a bad batch of shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyz-smoke-shisha Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) well I've had a couple different orders of it so I don't know if a bad batch is the problem although anything is possible Edited January 30, 2008 by cowboyz-smoke-shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboyz-smoke-shisha Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 so there's been a bad batch of grape? i usually try not to smell the tobacco before smoking it some of it smells weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjames Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've never gotten much flavor from Al Fakher White Grape. I find there is a hint of flavor for the first 10 mins and then the next hour it just tastes like smoke. I just ordered a phunnel bowl with a mod so hopefully it will increase the strength and duration of the flavor. By the way the date on mine is Nov 2006.

erufiku Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I got 5 packs of 50g AF White Grape, prod. date Jan 2007 and the first one smelled like ketchup and did not taste like grape too much. I'd say a bad batch... Or maybe you smoke too much of one (similar) flavour and your taste buds don't distinguish the difference anymore? Just a theory... I never bothered to go into much anatomy after high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
