srawas89 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 So I was smoking at my friends house yesterday and he was telling me about how Al Fakher is made in 2 places, in America by Phillip Morris I believe and in the U.A.E. granted I dont have pics of this however it does say on the box where it was produced. We were smoking double apple and it was very good I could taste the difference from the other double apple I have tasted before. THe packaging looks legit as well it has the bag and everything with the proper designs and stuff. Anyway anybody ever hear about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.shisha Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 HeyIm Pretty sure all AF tobacco is made in Ajman, Dubai in the UAE. They export all their products, so that could explain why your friend thinks its made in the US. Maybe if you post some pics, I could take a look and tell you whether its fake or legit. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 well here is the thing there is another al fakher apparently that is the same company but produced by a different person who is Phillip Morris. On the box it actually says it was produced in Dubai. The other guy Phillip apparently owns Marlboro. And I am pretty confident my friend knows what hes talking about but I just wanted to make sure haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an approximately 100 year old tobacco parent company that manufactures though one subsidiary or another about 60 percent of the cigarettes produced in the US today. Look them up on the stock exchange. I wouldn't buy stock though since it's been dropping like a rock since the anti-smoking nazis got a foothold.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename067 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Interesting, never really noticed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 well thanks for bringing that to my attention Rani....now I dont have to sound like an idiot on that note haha. Anyway I looked at my box today and it is different than the box my friend has since it doesnt have the same writing...on my box it does not say it is explicitly produced in U.A.E but it does have a P.O. box for the U.A.E. His box does say however that it was produced in the U.A.E. and the packaging looks legit. O well I guess I will have to look for that when I buy my A.F. locally again.

erufiku Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 just a wild shot - maybe one is made for the domestic market and the other is export quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the AF they sell locally in U.A.E. is probably better and I know that when I smoked at my friends house the flavor was much more prominent than when I smoked the same flavor somewhere else, and I know its not the setup because both places they pack it very well and use the same quick lights. I guess its just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrenwizard Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ugh, important NOTE here guys.DUBAI is DUBAI, U.A.E is U.A.E (United Arab Emirates) same for AJMAN is AJMAN.From what I know, since I've been dealing with AF. They only come from AJMAN, U.A.E. Not DUBAI, U.A.E. The one that states DUBAI, U.A.E are the pirated version of AF. So please be wise in getting AF Flavours.
