lp640man Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 That sux they wouldn’t return a defective product I would be pissed. AF white grape isn’t my all time favorite but I figure the distributors should take returns then go after the suppliers. Know one should pay for tobacco that we cant smoke. I am sure AF knows there are bad batches out there so they should honor the return. I still have yet to try the bad batch, but from what i've read I'll be returning mines.

JillyIsJustKidding Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Dang, I think my local shop knows there are bad batches b/c they replaced the new packaging with old packaging. It may be dated July 2006, but at least its not "ketchupy" It was kinda dry with my last tub, so I added glycerin and it was amazing. Haha I finished that whole tub in 3 weeks and thats a record for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened it, smelled it, made a funny face, then posted about it (Mya Paragon, Slight Leak. AF Grape=Grapes of Wrath).When I got it though, the shisha was unopened, sealed and all.Just by the smell makes me wonder what I'd be getting into if I smoke it.-QM Edited February 8, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishPhood Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I got some of the ketchup batch right now, and it tastes fine to me. I really enjoy the flavor which doesnt have a taste of ketchup. It only seems to be the smell, but none the less, its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopooshaboo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I just checked my current tub.. Aug 07, and it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I got a fresh kilo of the white grape (June 07) and a 250 of cola (Sept 07). Both of them the second I opened them up I had to swallow a gag or two. Very chemical-ridden smell, both are acclimating right now so we'll see how they smoke tonight. I've been a long time smoker of both of these flavours and something is very different. I'm thinking more and more Al Fakher's overall quality is descending.
