Nakhla Tabacco

[aleemkahn]

Theres a shop near me that has shit loads of Nakhla, just wondering if that stuff is worth it. Also, i was wondering if it was authentic? Its £5.99 a piece. Heres some pix...

looks legit to me.

[Bulldog_916]

Melon and Peach are pretty damn good. I havent tried mint yet or mixed fruit. I usually head to this market near me to get Nakhla. They are legit.

[Carôusoul]

The mint is quite nice, but that said I mix it usually with Al-waha Mixed fruits.

I got it in Slovakia, so it's certainly wide reaching. It works fine anyway, although I remember the smoke seeming a little thin, but that was probably just me messing up.

[pullingteeth]

someone recommended double apple nakhla to me. i'd say give that a try.

[aleemkahn]

Is it better than Al Fakher though? Thats what i'm smoking at the moment....

check out that post...people recommended a couple different kinds of nakhla and other shishas to me. i haven't tried any of them yet though so i can't really tell you if it's better than AF.

Looks like realy Nakhla to me. As comparing it to AF, you will get bigger clouds from AF, but a bigger buzz from the Nakhla. Flavorwise, you cant go wrong with either of them, AF and Nakhla are two of my favorite brands and havent been diappointed with either of them

[TizaNabi]

Good question. No one will make fake Nakhla, its like a counterfiter engraving for $1.00 bills when he could engrave $100's. If it's very cheap you should look if it passes the date. Often it's just in Arabic but from your name maybe you know it. If it's old it could be rancid. I bought some Nakhla today locally its sold everywhere. Finally their new "Mizo" line is out and I bought the only available flavour of apricot which I have filled my bowl to smoke now. I happen to love Nakhla myself it being one of around 7 only brands I can get in Israel. The other 6 are Jordanian and very good.

[frost91]

its good shisha....good buzz too

[srawas89]

AF is a washed tobacco brand and it has more glycerin and molasses so you will get bigger clouds with AF. The clouds you get with nakhla are pretty good but than again Nakhla is a drier brand. Also as ryno said the flavors in both brands are good and def. pick up double apple its a staple in so many Arab countries. Nakhla is unwashed tobacco so there is a higher nicotine content which gives you a bigger buzz so if you get a buzz of AF smoke the nakhla nice and slow and dont take huge drags right away or you may be in over your head and overdose on nicotine (you get sweaty, clammy, really bad headache). BUt do not be scared of Nakhla and buy some and enjoy.

Up until now i've smoked loads of different AF flavas, but i've only smoked strawberry nakhla and double apple nakhla. Its ok to be honest, but it just looks like cheap and crap shisha. I'll buy some mixed fruits tommorrow and i'll let u know the outcome. But to be honest, i think i'll just stick with smoking more AF.

[skimo281]

Nakhla is far from being a crappy shisha. It's one of the few shishas I havn't found a flavor I didn't like. As mentioned above the buzz is pretty strong but once you start smoking it you don't want to stop imo.

[fineout]

im a big fan of nahkla, mostly because thats all i can get around here

[ryno]

One of my other favorites about Nakhla is the price. Online its usaully 8 or 9 bucks for a 250g tub, and locally I get it for 5 bucks... cant pass that up at all

[SixPackSunday]

buy some fo sho

nak is some good stuff.... i have their sweet melon and coffee right now, love em both

[Chiefin]

Hahaha classic

[aleemkahn]

I might just do what JD does and mix the tabacco with glycerine to make it more juicy.

[modisess]

nakhla is great.. i have about 6 different flavors from them now (mint, lemon, cherry, fruits, caramel, double apple), although the mixed fruits and caramel flavor for me was dissapointing.

[AntiGravity]

Hi there!

A place nearby where I live sells Nakhla for really cheap ($5). So far my friends and I have bought Double Apple, Tropicana, Lemon, Chocomint, and Strawberry.
I have to say out of all those I've tried I only REALLY liked the Tropicana. Chocomint isn't bad, I just don't particularly like the mint, which kinda overpowers any chocolate flavor. Didn't like the Lemon that much either. Though yesterday I put some iced tea in the base and it was actually quite nice
And last Friday me and my friends tried out Double Apple, which I've read was pretty good. Again though, this one was not so fantastic. Tasted more like licorice (which I hear is this anise flavor) than apple. Was one of the better ones I've had though.

So I'm going to reccomend Tropicana if they have it, as well as Double Apple. Strawberry was pretty good as well. And like everyone else has said, regardless of what flavor you get, the buzz off Nakhla is incredible

Just like to add that I'm still learning the best way to prepare a hookah and all that, so my opinion may be slightly skewed due to noobness

[Giant Ninja Robot]

It's one of the few shishas I havn't found a flavor I didn't like.

Have you tried lemon, I'm sorry I mean Pinesol?

I'm not a fan of Nakhla, I prefer AF hands down.

[skimo281]

Nope, no lemon. It's been awhile since I've smoked Nakhla; about a year or so but from what I can remember these were good flavors. Apple, Grape, Orange, Zaghloul, and Mint, well that's all that come off the top of my head at the moment. I guess every shisha has their bad flavors but what I was trying to say is I've liked more of what I've tried out of Nakhla over any other shisha. Edited September 8, 2008 by skimo281

I smoke Nahkla a LOT.

Sweet Melon - best, most accurate melon flavor out there. HIGHLY recommended.
Peach - very good, subtle - but good. Not the candy peach you get from most brands.
Grape - also good, subtle as well. Never tastes like ketchup.
Mandarin - AWESOME shit! No regular 'orange' flavor will be in your rotation again after this.
Orange - meh - it's orange, what do you expect?
Mango - not a big fan, a little too "mango" for me - it's not a flavor I would eat, so I don't want to smoke it.

i love nakhla. i used to only smoke al fakher and starbuzz but recently decided to give nakhla a try.
nakhla double apple is probably the most traditional flavour on the planet and its great. i dont really taste the anise like how many people claim.
nakhla mango and peach and sweet melon are spectactular. i find that nakhla's flavours are more realistic because they are not super sweet (such as AF and SB) that makes their flavours taste more like candy.

Ur rite man, its really nice. Its got a great buzz and flavour. I think i need to add a bit more glycerine to make some bigger clouds though.
