Al Fakher Issues


Recommended Posts

Every time I've smoked this Golden AF Bahraini Apple I get somethign like a light buzz... only it makes me really uneasy, and rather nauseous as well. I'm used to buzz, 9 times outta 10 I smoke nakhla... but this stuff just doesn't feel right. I've smoked it probably 5 times and used three different types of coals (3k QL, bulk naturals, and jap...) and always get the same feeling.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Or know what might be causing it?

Hmmm it could just be that flavor upsetting you. Sometimes some flavors just don't work with certain people. Or maybe your packing your bowls too loose and smoking too much coal?? Try packing it a little tighter, also AF can sometimes have alot of small stems, try taking them all out....

I've packed it normal, used normal heat... it tastes good so it's not burning, there are few stems, and stems don't bother me anyhow. I guess it might just be that the flavor agrees with my tastebuds, but not the stomach. Go figure, eh?

My two guesses are either a bad batch, or could possibly be a fake AF


Well, I don't think so. It tastes good, smells good, looks normal, and all the packaging was great... if it is fake, they did a hell of a job!

i think that the eskandarani apple is better than the bahraini apple...

the former is my most favorite al fakher and the latter is my least favorite al fakher.

p.s. alfakheronline.com, the five golden al fakher for 45.00...

Al Fakher has never made me feel queezy before... definitely try to get a different flavor. I like their watermellon and mixed berries.


I like AF as well, I've had several of their flavors and it's just this one that gives this odd feeling. Kinda funky.

stems can be your friend though they improve airflow and i have never noticed a positive difference from removing them.

sound like a bad or old batch to me though

sounds like your body just telling you no. I've run into some random flavours like that...Nakhla peach for instance.

How do you do with AF 2 apple?


Perfectly fine, lol. It's just this gold AF Bahraini apple. Ah well, I guess my stomach just doesn't dig it. I'll give it away to a friend or something I guess Hookah.gif
