hookah_stud Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Just got an order of AF Double Apple and it smells and tastes like black licorice. Anybody else had this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 that would be the anise in most DA. I've heard Layalina DA has less anise flavor to it, I'm ordering some of that, pissed that mnh is out of AF Esk Apple, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin13 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thats just about how any double apple will taste my friend. Either love it or ya hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I never knew why double apple would taste like licorice I always thought red apples meets green or yellow apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surface Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I smoked some double apple with my friend last year and after an hour of smoking I layed on my bed wanting to puke for the rest of the night.Never smoking DA again. I think it was Afzal shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 That does pose a great question Newjack-swing...why does DA taste like apple and anise? And not two apples? Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Its because you all have yet to appreciate the ultimate delicious power of Nakhla Double Apple. There is licorice there but no where near as strong as other DA's. It is the benchmark in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubon Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 First and only time I got sick from smoking was with nakhla DAI dont know what the fuck i did wrong but 15 minutes into it, extreme perspiration, felt like puking, had to take a coooold shower. I hated it. But, I did smoke it again, and it was enjoyable, so kudos to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah, most double apples taste like that. For me it's an acquired taste... I used to hate it, but it really has grown on me over the last year or so. The only DA I've had that doesn't taste much like anise is Sultan Double Apple, and I'm not even sure if they're in business anymore. Wasn't the most flavorful stuff, but at least it tastes more like apple than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysolz Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Go with AF Golden Esk. Apple!I've tried like..4 different double apples and they pretty much all blew (Nakhla being the exception) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfefe2 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm sure the reason why apple+apple= Anise has something to do with traditional flavorings old shisha manufacturers had around at the time. Perhaps Double apple had always been this way and no one has bothered to change it, and why would they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColibriDon Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Yeah, my AF double apple tastes like that too. I just assumed it was a normal taste for AF Double apple which pissed me off because I was expecting something completely different. Not that big of a deal, I happen to really like it. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I got Tripple Apple Fantasia from MNH. I hate the smell but I am going to smoke it none-the-less. I will write up a review soon . I never smoked double apple because I hated the smell and it was Al-Sultan and I hate Al-Sultan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
