ilikemyusername Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 i had never tried any of al amir's flavors. my "local" shop started carrying it so i purchased 3 50g boxes for 3 dollars apiecei purchased blackberry, mixed fruit and grapes. when i got home i opened them up and when i took a whiff i noticed they all had the same absolutely aweful stench. it smelled like a plastic skunks butt. very plastic, polymer scent laying right on top of the fruit smell. seperate yet stuck to it. definitely not something i wanted to smoke. so i decided to place the three types in a tupperware type container and let it "air out" i've never had to do anything like this with any other shisha i've tried. i figured it needed to be acclimated even though it was washed. after a few hours the stink was still there, so i had it sit over night . in the morning i went to work and left it out. when i got home at 5 i couldn't smell the funk anymore. is this what acclimation is all about?

mushrat Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 AA does have a particular "twang" to it. And some of their flavours are quite good in my opinion.Grapes and mixed fruit are NOT among my favorites however. The blackberry is an old friend...

ForgetulRobot Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm going to have to second Mushrat, The Blackberry is incredibly good. The Blueberry was probably the worst flavor of shisha I've had to date. I think it tasted like barbeque sauce the other person I was smoking with decided it tasted more like bacon. We were both sober as nuns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Their blackberry and orange are excellent flavors. They do have a distinct plasticy smell to them but it smokes ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) Al Amir apple is pretty decent too, or at least the batch I got was. It's a thick red apple taste. I guess. I can't really explain it but I like it.Haha, I forgot to put which flavor... Edited May 1, 2008 by Texico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
