Flavor Question

[questions]

Hey all....
thanks for all the responses, if you got an email from me, then your getting a sample...
so wondering about flavor?
how important is the smell?
is the initial inhale flavor more important?
is the exhale flavor more important?
how important is the smoke smell?
I was working on a new flavor yesterday, very odd...the smell of the shisha overpowers you, but there was little flavor on the inhale, but a great after taste from the exhale..
what do you think?

Smell and exhalation no doubt. Atleast for me. I really do love it when the warm shisha gives off a thick and strong aroma.

I find the exhale flavor to be more important than the inhale flavor, as that is the taste that will stay in your mouth.

I don't care either way how the shisha smells - but I suppose, if it smelled unbelieveably awful I might be bothered.

Smoke smell is somewhat important. A good smelling smoke adds to the overall enjoyment of the session and enchances the flavor.

thanks....
you say about the shisha smell..not to important...but if it smells unbelievable, would that make it better i guess?
i am experimenting with a new flavor here...and the smell is so intense, that when you actually open the container it is curing in....you can smell from anywhere in the room...but the flavor so far is only on the exhale..would you think this is a shisha you would want?
I think lounges would love this from the smell of the smoke...very sweet...
oh yeah......
sweetness? good?bad?

A lot of people like sweet flavors, but not everyone. I personally like to mix sweet and tart flavors for the best of both worlds.

Shisha should smell pleasant when you open it and on the exhale. Its hard to get any taste when you inhale as it flows in too fast for your taste buds anyways.

out of curiosity, what flavor is it? Edited February 20, 2008 by Tikhman

thanks....
Yeah..the inhale is hard to taste..but I have and want to with my new flavors...
the big flavor I am having some questions about is Caramel
it smells like a milky way when you open...and when you mix with any fruity flavor it is insane...but alone is just weak until the exhale..which is odd..you just don't get the flavor so strong..I think I fixed it this morning..have to wait til tomorrow to smoke again

I'm glad to say I'm on the list and am very excited to get the samples. As for those questions my answers are as follows

Unburned smell to me is not that important. I've smelled some horendous shishas which turned into great smokes, so I dont judge by that. Its also gone the other way... Great smell, terrible smoke.

Exhale flavor is more important, I usually dont get too much taste on the way in. I take a nice long slow drag in and do the same out. Nice and slow through the nose and mouth to get a good full flavor.

Smoke smell is important. There has been some shisha which the smoke smells terrible and makes you not want to smoke inside. If the scent lingers like a cigarette I wouldn't smoke it. One of the great things about shisha is that the smell doesnt stink up your house or you for that matter.

I think that would be interesting. The only flavors I've had stay with me after the smoke is gone are mint flavors. It would be cool to have a blueberry or peach flavor or something like that kinda hang out with you for a bit after smoking.

Hope this helps.

let me clear that thought up here....
my caramel flavor lingers..my blueberry smells great when opened..nice thick smoke, nice flavor on the exhale and that is about it...
i agree..i like that the shisha doesn't smell up the house...big deal...for me at least..but with all my experminatation for the last set of months..my house smells like a menagerie(sp?) of fruits and other tasty smells..my dog is going nutty..hahaha

well personally i enjoy a nice taste on the inhale when im smoking a sweet/fruity flavor but its the exhale that counts the most. i love it when the burning shisha smells nice too. i dont like it when it smells like burnt shisha, even though im getting great flavor. i dont really mind the smell of the unburnt shisha, nakhla mint smells weird unburnt but imo has a nice mint flavour. the smoke smell is important to me too...you wouldnt want to be smoking with some friends and exhale bad smelling smoke..

[Luke69]

I feel that the smell of the unburnt shisha does matter quite a bit, it is like smelling a good wine. I definately agree that the exhale counts more for flavour than the inhale.

exhale counts more than the inhale for sure, i am a person though that gets kinda sick of the smell of some of the really sweet flavors, so the smell of the smoke isnt to important for me. I love the sweet flavors, jsut after a while the smell gets to you
