gunsboy Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I just recieved my order of Al-Fakher products: This is just my personal opinion I hope it helps, ALQema Grapes: Full of taste, very drippy. Taste runs out quick. It is not too strong; the first couple of bowls I kept tasting the mi3assil I smoked before. I would rate it [b]6.5/10[/b] ALQema Strawberry: No taste. I guess it is either a bad batch. It is not too old. This one tastes bad. I could not wait to finish the bowl to replace it with something else. My personal rating is [b]3/10[/b] ALQema Rose: I love it. Taste is good and long lasting. It sticks to the hookah though. Needs a good cleaning session and a couple of bowls of apple to get rid of the taste. Rating is [b]8.5/10[/b] Golden Bahraini: The best I have ever tried. This one is very consistant and long lasting smoke. A big bowl lasted about 1 hour and 40 minutes before it started giving burnt tobbaco taste. It is smooth, lots of smoke and Full of flavour. Rated [b]10/10 [/b] Golden Iskandarani: It tastes okay. It is nicer than most other cheaper brands. It is smooth. But it is too fruity. Its flavour feels like apple mixed with melon and lemon. Rated [b]7.5/10[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Nice reviews. There has been some question in the past, does the Bahraini have any anise taste? And I would suggest mixing a little of the Esk with a good 2 apple, or if the Bahraini has anise, mix the two of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 I will try that. I am not sure what is an "anise" taste? I also just got a call from the UPS to pick up the second order which has Some more Alfakher and Alamir products, like"golden grapes" and "alamir cola" and sevral others I will post my reviews after I burn more lung cells ...

gunsboy Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yesterday I tried the AF two apples with Al-Amir Lemon, I had used the Shisha the day before to smoke AlQema Rose. The first 50 minutes the taste of rose was there, which was good. But I have to tell you. The bowl lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes. This was a record time before any hint of burnt tobacco was felt. It was so full of flavour and so nice. I think that I have never enjoyed shisha as much as last night. I am not sure if I had reached the peak of taste. I hope better things are to come.

gunsboy Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 More reviews: I tried several other AF and Al-Amir flavours: [b]AlFakher Apple[/b]: Not much taste. It tastes similar to a fresh Nakhla doubel apple, maybe a little smoother. Rating [b]5/10[/b] [b]AlFakher Double Apple[/b]: NOW NOW NOW, thats a good one. It is very addictive. It will take over your taste buds. Too much flavour if such a thing exists. But when mixed with a hint of Al-AMir Lemon, this gives an ultimate smoking experience. I would say I have never smoked a mix that was better than this yet. I am really scared that the taste of the hookah has peak at this, what would I try next, what if I ran out?!!!!. Rating, Alone [b]9/10[/b] , with Alamir Lemon [b]10/10[/b]. [b]Al-Amir Cola[/b]: It is a wierd sensation in the begining. But it is full of taste. Drink Papsi or Coke while smoking and you will get double the joy. It is not to be smoked all the time. It is to change the taste everyonce in a while. Rating [b]8.5/10[/b] [b]Al-Amir Lemon[/b]: See Al Fakher double apple above. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I hate to change tangents too quickly, but Strawberry flavors shouldn't expire with time, it could be humidity shock, it could be a very light flavor, maybe the tobacco needs to be stirred extra well before using. If the tobacco comes sealed in a plastic type bag, how could the flavor go bad? The only exception, off the top of my head is mango and Passionfruit...although they just change...in fact they get stronger as they get older. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, and orange all fade with time (If their open to the air). Pineapple fades very slowly. Some exotic flavors, too, like my blackthorn. Your first line of flavors...apples...strawberries...apricots, etc. don't fade...they expiration date is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsboy Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Al Amir Lemon by itself is more like Rose by itself , the taste is very strong but it has a wierd after taste I did not like. Too hard on my precious lungs. Alone I would rate it [b]5/10[/b]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 be careful! af double apple isnt apple at all!- i dunno gunsboy you have weird reviews cause persoanlly af double apple is just licorice. To quote someone on this forum- i forgot who, it tastes like 'anised balls' . I personally have 250 grams and i find it pretty hard to plow through considering the licorice burn.

gunsboy Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Yeah I tried it alone without AlAmir Lemon It was not that great. Licorine taste was too much. Apple is very weak, thats why I like Bahraini Apple instead. Smooth subttle and alot of smoke. The Doubel Apple and Lemon is more like a party /going out smoke for me. Full of taste and smells nice.

Brad Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 [quote name='mushrat']Nice reviews. There has been some question in the past, does the Bahraini have any anise taste?[/quote] I think Bahraini Apple tastes VERY similar to AF Double Apple. Lots of anise.
