Johnny_Z Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Theres "Premium" Nakhla now!? HOLY #%&*! I am behind the times! LOL But seriously, who all here has tried this stuff? For a long while a few months back I was a huge Nakhla fan... Nakhla Apple, Double Apple, Strawberry, Orange, Mint, Lemon, Mango, Sweet Melon, Caramel, and pretty much any other Nakhla flavors were considered great in my book (with the exception of Mixed Fruit, Peach, Grape, and Apricot which were probably some of the most horrid flavors I have ever smoked). Anyway, what I mean to say is that I used to be a diehard Nakhla fan. I had tried all the premium stuff there was to try (except Fumari) but I still kept going back to Nakhla every time. But then one day it happened... thats right, you guessed it... after not having any Al-Fakher for about 8 months or so I picked up some Al-Fakher Apple and was hooked after the first bowl. Since them I've smoked Al-Fakher almost exclusively. But then last night I found a sample of this Nakhla Mandarin stuff lying around that I needed to review. So I eyed it a little bit and softly sighed to myself thinking something along the lines of, "Do I really have to smoke Nakhla again?". But then I smelled it... and it smelled pretty good. And then I tasted it... and that was about the time I said "HOLY #%&*!! This is good!!" You can read my review of it in my "Long overdue reviews" thread if you like, but to say that it totally blew me away would be an understatement. So now I find out that this incredible Nakhla Mandarin is actually only 1 of 4 new Nakhla flavors!? That Mandarin was just soooo good that I have to find out if anyone else has tried the new lineup of flavors! I recall seeing Mushrat mention that he tried the Nakhla Cocomint and liked it, but has anyone else tried Chocomint, Margarita, or Tropicana? I'd be really interested to hear some thoughts on em'...

Johnny_Z Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Oh, and on a completely unrelated side note... does anyone know where the heck I can find some Nakhla Cola? I've been meaning to try that stuff forever but can't seem to find a source for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hmm, never even knew that nahkla made a cola. Id be willing to give it a go if I were to ever spot it. As for the new nahkla flavors, I really like the chocomint as well. If you're not too fond of the overpowering mint flavor that nahklas original mint gives, then the chocomint is a very nice alternative. The mint isn't too strong at all, and the chocolate gives it a nice smooth taste. Definately a thumbs up in my book for Nahkla, and I don't smoke that much nahkla As for the other flavors, I bought a 250g box of the margeritta along with the chocomint, and it didn't really do it for me. Just smelling it out of the package almost knocked me on my ass. It was SO strong, to strong for me infact... I ended up donating the stuff to one of my fellow hookah smoker buddies here at school. Don't even think hes tried it yet My local store also carries the tropicana, but haven't tried the stuff yet, and they don't even carry manderine, so thats news to me as well. So in conclusion, I liked the chocomint, despised the margeritta, and haven't tried the other two yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I haven't tried any Nakhla premium yet... In fact I havent had ANY Nakhla since I first smoked AF which was about a year ago.I believe smoking-hookah.com has cola and a range of other Nakhlas.

mushrat Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yash has gotten me some of the Chocomint..and its Daaaamn Tasty. I'd be interested in trying the Manderin and the Tropicana if they are on par with the Chocomint.. Don't even like to DRINK margarittas. I'll include a little Choco with the other stuff....

Alqoshnia Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 just in case people are still wondering where to get Nakhla Cola, its sold at hookah-shisha.com i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookahnoob Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 A smoke shop near me has Nakhla Cola. If you cant get it anywhere I would pick it up for you if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Nakhla Choco-mint is in my top 5.I bought a box of the margarita as well - and similarly, I dont much care for it. I mixed it with some havana coconut (Malibu Rum Margarita anyone), and I still didnt like it very much. Its simply too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 so hookah-shisha is listing their Tropicana as grapefruit, if it is that definitly sounds tasty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
