Just looking to see which of the flavours in your opinion is better???

I am looking in the sense of overall, that including taste and smoke and duration etc.

the exception is Buzz
Buzz is not important at all

So essentially which of these two flavours do you think is better.
Also not looking to compare to anything else, just to each other.

Thanks for the help, it is because I have only once till now smoked nakhla and can't remeber what it was like.
I usually smoke Al-Waha, so looking to pick up some Nakhla tomorrow , but just wanted your opinons.

Thanks again

Al Waha wins only because their rose is amazing. It is my favorite flavor i have tried so far.


I must say Al-waha is my staple , but I am looking for some more options shisha wise.

BTW the rose is the only flavour I hate of Al-Waha , haven't tried all of Al-Waha ,but alot.....it was a spot on flavour but not my sorta thing...

I've smoked lots of Al-Waha, good and bad flavours... it's decent, but yeah, it's budget shisha, a good brand to start out with but it can't compare in quality to other brands. Nakhla is definitely better, but I still only smoke it when I want a traditional, particularly robust smoke. Tangiers and Al-Fakher constitute 90% of my smoke.

Eck I have had so many bad experiences with AW. My after 9 tub (which was sealed in a ziplock bag), which hadn't been opened for months became dry when I wanted to smoke it for the first time in months. It tasted like crap so I threw it out.

Then the guava is just weird as heck. I'm sure as hell never buying AW ever again.

Nakha used to be a brand that I disliked...Now I kinda like this stuff lol. The brand may be dry, but the flavors are there and I have never had consistency issues with Nakhla or any issue in general

Did you guys know that Nakhla is actually made in Papa New Guinea?

You're kidding, right?!

As for the poll, Nakhla, I was in a world of pain getting AW to smoke decent and I'm not trying it again (unless it's free wink.gif )

where do you get your nahkla from. I get some at a local international market but its often dry and flavorlite/less. I liked the mixed fruit but cannot find a the flavorin 50g sizes locally and don't \trust buying from the internet based on the experiences I've had with the nahkla flavors locally.

I have yet to have a good strawberry from nahkla.

I've tried both the 250's and 50's and even with the double packaging of the 50g it seemed pretty dry and very lite on flavor. I prefer getting 50's of flavors like that as they tend to be the higher quality flavors.

It's true, check wikipedia.


So why does my package of Sweet Melon say ´Made in Egypt´?
Or is it like the Italian suits that get produced in China, shipped to Italy where they sew on one button and slap a Made in Italy tag on it?

ps: it would be hilarious though, Egypt is outsourcing... zOMG!

remember that wikipedia is not a very reliable source and everyone can edit those articles (including gaia plateau).


i voted for nakhla because i like alot of their flavors, and they`re always consistent. and maybe because i`m just a nakhla fanboy.

[edit] Dangers
It has been reported that Nakhla Tobacco can sometimes have a side effect of reducing phallic mass, and it is recommended that users take this into account before smoking.
