the hookah hitman Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 Well, the samples are in the mail. I have to say. . .I was not impressed with the quality however. I have been smoking Al Amir and Hookah hookah tobacco lately and I bought this tub of AF to mix things up. I remember about a year and a half ago thinking that Alfakher was the best brand on earth, but either quality of new brands in the industry has gone way up lately, or the quality of AF has gone way down. I also heard that there are alot of counterfeit AF's going around. I wonder if they will be able to pull it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks man, I'll do a brief review when I get my sample. I guess thats one of the joys of a relativly new industry...still a few bugs in the system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The al amir is a worthy competitor and has a couple of great flavours, with Lemon beating Al fakher lemon ,and cherry being another fantastic flavour. Other than that, Fakher is fantastic tobacco, and the standard is as good as ever. There are flavours to avoid though, namely pineapple. Apricot, melon, mango are all interesting flavours, but not as strong as the heavyweights: Apple, Grape, Strawberry, Cherry, Cola within which Al fakher truely reigns supreme.

Looking forward to it even though its not a popular flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Mine arrived while I was away. man that stuff is WET! About the same cut as I'm used to with af but a lot more goop. Reminds me of afzal and that odd blackberry i got some Bane (i think). Smells interesting. Definitly apricot but not the usual overpowering smell I get from esk apple or melon. Can't wait to actually SMOKE the stuff! Thanks for the sample! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Damn, I was looking forward to it today...but I never got a call from my schools post office of its arrival... I'm getting antsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hookah hitman Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 How did the envolope hold up in the mail? Did the bag leak at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Ah, the double zip lock worked great. There was no leakage into the second baggie. the envelope was in good shape, unmangled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 FINALLY got to give the AF Apricot a smoke. Very nice. Not real stong flavour like the AF Melon or Esk Apple , but very pleasant. So far the only Apricot I have tried so nothing to compare it to. Everything else about it was your standard AF Smokeing experience. Thanks Again Hitman!
