Whatever Happened To Al Amir?


Recommended Posts

I mean, a year ago I heard about it quite frequently. A lot of ppl said it was pretty decent stuff along the lines of AF. I've only had al amir watermelon and it was pretty good, but Im just wondering if they stopped making it or something because I haven't heard anyone mention it in ages.


Just curious is all. Wondering if anyone has shmoked some AA recently

I smoked some last week at the hookah bar in town its the only thing they serve. I honestly think Al Amir sucks for taste but it produces huge couds of smoke. I personally would never buy any for my collection.

Yeah, they had the first good blackberry and pomegranate on the scene. Its unwashed, very candy-type flavor, I think the intended market has been taken over by Starbuzz.


Doh! Senior moment! Mushsrat is correct, I meant to say washed. Edited by Sariél

not likely, you pay twice as much for a single tub of starbuzz. al fakher is in the same price range as al amir and has more good flavors in my opinion.
having said that, i must admit that i love their blackberry.

To me, AF always had a little more bite to it than AA. They were around together before SB came around, and I think that SB, while pricier, was more comparable to AA, but had better distribution, plus the added benefit of being the "NEW THING" in the sexy metal tin and all that.

Al Amir is redoing their entire line. I believe its done in fact. I may carry it again but its expensive. Yea I know many people saw it at a lower price but the reason is its old stock and being dumped.

I hear the new stuff is good but thats from a distributor and as many of you know I don`t trust those guys to tell me the truth on products I prefer to bring stuff in and have customers try them out.

But they are still in business and trying to be better so good luck to them if they are reading this.

I just will chime in with Neal, It's a good seller here and while the blackberry and Pomegranet are some of my better selling shishas, the line it self is kinda hit and miss. It also has the kinda Twang taste that some foplks don't like. But I am hearing some good things from my distributor (who i do trust) as well about the new flavours.
First Al Fakher reformulates, now Al Amir is redoing their stuff, this is a good sign that the companies are trying to constantly improve and expand their lines. Great news for us consumers.

It is Washed though, sorry Sariel.

i got a bunch of 50g boxes of this recently and it has a very new date on it. so i wonder if i got the new stuff. or the old. and any secret to setting it up or just the same as anything else.


it's a medium heat tobacco still. more than SB or tangiers, less than nakhla or layalina...

smoking it right now, and I'm a bit disappointed. good buzz, good clouds, but it tastes like cherry flavoured cough syrop?!
