pigpen Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I like a "darker" spicey smoke - I am curious about AF cardamom, Tangiers Kashmir, HH seven spice, are they any good? Any others of the spice ilk that are good?What flavor is AF soft black? I have to order everything - I dont want to waste money on vapid flavors!Thoughts and opinions appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've never tasted the 7 Spice flavor, but smelt it... it smells like it would be something you'd cook with. The Kashmir is a floral flavor. I never had the Cardamom either. If you like spice the Nakhla Earl Grey is good. It's a lemon/floral with peppery undertones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Cardamom from AF is one of my favorite flavors. Lemon after taste, a slight menthol/vapor feel. It's light, unique, and very good. Thanks to Mahir for hooking me onto it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Kasmir is a love/hate flavor...you either hate it or you love it. or your messed up like me and it's grown on you. Any Kashmir is really strong and can put you on you tail. K-Peach and K-Apple are great, along with just plain Kashmir. Haven't tried Kashmir Cherry yet. It is kind of floral but also Middle Eastern/India Spice almost too. It's just one of those flavors like vanilla...it tastes like vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I forgot the mention Cardamom is the spice used in tea. It's sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotsi95 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I haven't had the Af cardamom but i have had the Nakhla cardamom and it is very strong, even stronger then the earl gray. I like it as a little mixer, i wouldnt smoke it stright up thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've had 7 spice and if you've had Curry or anything like that, 7 spice is a staple of many Indian dishes.I thought it tasted spicy, a little heat but refreshing like incense.It's one of the only HH flavors I really like.

The Ark Sous is a black licorice flavor. I've smoked it and it's surprisinly good. Another flavor for you to check out is Tangiers Red Tea.

Tikhman Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Cardamon is amazing, granted I usually smoke the Nakhla and not AF. Mix it with mint about 70%min 30% Cardamon and be ready to be blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahwahoo2006 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 AF Cola is sweet and spicy at the same time. I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpen Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Cardamom is the predominant flavor in "chai" (correctly masala chai), it is also the flavor of siddha coffee.But do either brand of shisha taste like the real thing?(I should just buy it already!)

MechAnt Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The AF Cardamom is not sweet by any means but if you like tea or something different from the typical, cardamom is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to giving this a smoke this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmigeek Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I just got my AF Cardamom too and will also try it this weekend. Am looking forward to it. I also go AF Caffe Latte for the first time - now there is an interesting flavor. I would not say it was very coffee-like; the dominant flavor was perhaps vanilla, and it tasted more like pipe smoke than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Cafe Latte is certainly another that I would like to try. I wish there were more hookah smoking peeps in Phoenix to help me out with my stash. The wall keeps growing and growing....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have yet to try AF Cardamom though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
