addicted2shisha Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 So i just got an order in of some AF tobacco thought i would try the more expensive golden range.... Just smoked the bahraini apple and esk. apple both were very disappointing... The smell and wetness of the stuff just wasnt like the normal AF tobacco and smoked nowhere near as good. Was told the esk. apple is supposed to be very nice. Anyone else experienced this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemyghost Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I havent tried the Bah. (red) apple but he Esk. (green) apple is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 might just be your personal preference but esk apple is in my top 3 fav shisha's. And i have honestlly tried 90% of all nakhla, Al waha, Al Fakher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkel! Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I've smoked both and they are both exceptional! AF Golden Esk. Apple is the only true apple tasting shisha I've found. Bahraini is good because it has less anise taste than Double Apple flavors. Both are very enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I couldn't agree more with race and Switch. I love eskandarini apple, and so does everyone for whom I've packed a bowl of it. It's good stuff. Maybe you just got a bad batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2shisha Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yeh they were both from Aug 2007... smoking the golden grape tonight hope thats better! I was sure the esk. apple is of a high regard thats why i was disappointed. Expecting another batch in the next week so things can only get better!

thecoalition Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 um....never ever ever ever had a problem with the golden line. bahraini apple is my top apple flavor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Eskandarani Apple is the shit. My favorite Apple flavor without a doubt.Maybe your batch was old or just a bad one. Other people experienced bad batches with AF White Grape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjames Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 When you say the wetness wasn't the same as normal AF you mean it wasn't as juicy? I find the Eskandarini Apple to have quite a bit more juice than their normal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2shisha Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Yeh it wasnt as juicy. My range of normal AF smoked fine and were very very wet. This seemed a lot drier. It wasnt completely dry but just to put it into context when i smoked it no juices ran down the pot into the tray whereas when i smoked AF plum afterwards the juices started to run down almost immediately...

adamjames Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It sounds to me like you have a bad batch. I had tons of juice dripping out of the bowl and was my main reason for buying a phunnel bowl to keep it all in. The batch I received is without a doubt the wettest shisha I have ever had and I have had quite a few batches of different AF flavors, just not from the golden line. So from my experience it should be wetter than their normal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said from my experience . In order from wettest to dryest, in my opinion, I currently have Eskandarini Apple, Melon, Cinnamon, White Grape and Apple. It just so happens the Apple is the oldest batch I have and the Eskandarini Apple is the newest batch I have going by the production dates. I purchased all of them at the same time. I'm not arguing that the regular line may very well be juicier on average than the Golden line I'm just stating what I personally see with my current batches.
