Strawberry is powerful so I use it as a mixer. Orange is also strong so I use it as a mixer. Vanilla, a mixer of course... Peach is very good. Peach O's style. Grape is so-so. Afternine is really damn good. Bounty is really damn good too. Very similar to afternine in my opinion, just replace the mint with coconut. I think Al Waha is a great shisha for the price. I think Hookah Hookah tobacco is OK. I think you will embrace the switch to Al Waha.

i've had the orange, lemon, and after nine. the orange is probably my favorite orange flavor...actually tastes like an orange, rather than candy...i like it a lot. the lemon is solid, and the after nine is my favorite smoke after a heavy meal...just a nice, sweet, mellow taste that makes for a perfect dessert.

Something that I have to say about the afternine and bounty flavors... They tend to linger in the hose for a while. So if you can, use a washable hose when smoking these flavors. I have an unwashable hose that took about 3 or 4 sessions with other flavors to get rid of the afternine remnants... A good Al Waha mix is Orange, Vanilla, and Mint (I used AF). A minty, creamy orange flavor that lasts for a while.

Orange has a pretty strong flavor. Personally i do not like it that much, but my friends do so you may love it. I have not tried the strawberry, but i would be cautious, because from my experience thier berry flavors are not very good. It is possible that strawberry is an exception though, who knows.

hey man, you picked a hell of a brand. al-Waha is amazing to me in that it costs practically nothing but it generally smokes amazing. it's great in every way, and when i look at the price compared to say Starbuzz, im blown away. Not saying that Starbuzz isn't great too, but i think the price tag is very inflated. Anyways. al-Waha was my first tobacco and like i said, it's great. Peach, Bounty, Cappucino, and Orange Cream are all in my top shishas. Bounty and Orange Cream especially. if you know what you're doing in terms of bowl packing, you won't be dissapointed (assuming you actually like the idea of the flavor). The ones i didn't like are actually melon and blueberry. I just don't like melons the fruit so i don't know why i bought melon-flavored shisha...as for blueberry, it's just too fake a flavor. it tastes and smells like cough syrup. hope that helps.

right after i posted that i actually smoked some al-waha orange cream.

intersting. first, it was mad dry, so i was getting NO smoke. i was using a med. phunnel with a home-made mod that works wonders with every other bowl i've smoke but wasn't cuttin it for this. so, predicting anger and frustration if i continued, i mixed in maybe like 15 g of Fantasia blueberry (VERY juicy) in the hopes that i'd get the juice, smoke the blueberry, and be left with orange cream. while the blueberry taste never quite dissapeared (Fantasia is awesome, i can't say it enough), towards the last 20-30 minutes i definitely tasted the great orange cream like i remembered it. so. basically, it's gotta be juicy and pack it to the top if you have a regular egyptian or other standard bowl (in my experience, mods do help with phunnels) while keeping it pretty loose in the bowl and not tight. phunnels with and without mods require different amounts of tobacco. everything else you learn through experimentation. everyone smokes differently and has their own tricks for a good smoke. i use a buttload of coals because i do 2 layers of foil because im terrified of burning shisha because i can't stand the slightest bit of harshness.

my advice is don't ever give up on this flavor. it's wonderful i promise. try it at least 3 times before you swear it off

I've never had any problems with al waha, and despise hookah hookah tobacco. Hopefully you will switch! Bounty is delicious, one of my favorite, its supposed to be Chocolate coconut.

just smoked some Al Waha Strawberry out in the Oak Grove at IUP on Monday, amazing smoke. I always just used it as a mixer, but wow that was a great bowl by itself
