supdog Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Today I went to pick up some AF at the little market that Yashman told me about. I wanted to pick up some melon, because I had read so many positive reviews about it, but all they had was Golden Al Fakher melon. I never read anything about it,so I didn't get it. Has anyone tried it and is it as good as the reg. melon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-bab Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I ordered regular al-fakher melon from social smoke but they sent me the "golden" kind. I have yet to try it, but as soon as i do, i will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Didn't know they had a golden melon flavour. Knowing Al Fakher it's probably better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Ahh good to see you found it. As you probably saw, they don't have that great of a selection of hookahs right now. Every once in a while they will restock, and both sides of the store will have hookahs on the wall, not just the one. But I love their prices, very reasonable. 12 bucks for Al Fahker, same as most online prices, but you dont have to pay shipping Anywoo, sorry I've only had Al Fahker regular melon as well. Didn't even know they made a golden melon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 well theoretically you can get it at social smoke for about 12 bucks, and the shipping comes out to only a few cents, if that, thanks to our discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Millenium Smoke Shop right by me here, but they are a FLIPPIN' RIP OFF. Like $5 for a roll of 3 Kings, I sh*t you not. More of a head shop too. Anyway, where be this place?

[LB] Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 im pretty sure al fakher does not make a golden melon-id be careful sounds like it could be a fake al fakher.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 they actually do make fake tobaccos- there was a thread where someone got jipped into buying 250 grams of fake AF apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supdog Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 The place is just south of Arden on Fulton ave.. It's next to Smart & Final and across the street from Texas West BBQ.They have a good selection of tobacco.They have a dozen or so AF flavors, alot of Nakhla and AW and a few brands I've never heard of. All at really good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Z Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hmm yeah... I'm pretty sure Al-Fakher doesn't make a Golden Melon flavor, unless it is reaaally new. I wouldn't think a good online store like Social Smoke would be selling fake Al-Fakher though. Pretty strange if you ask me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supdog Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 I don't know about that Blondie.They're on the shelf right next to the reg. AF and everything looks legit (the box and the labeling on it).Al-Bab got some from Social Smoke ; do they sell fake AF? I'm not trying to be a smart ass,I just don't know.They also had AF Golden strawberry,cappucino and both reg. lemon and golden lemon. They have 1 or 2 other golden flavors but I can't remember what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not 100% sure, but is Millenium the smoke shop in the Bel Air shopping center? If so, yeah I agree. Head shops arn't the way to go. I used to live in the neighborhood across the street from millenium actually, on sunrise on that large greenbelt, know the place? Anywoo, yeah the place is called Medeteranian(sp?) Market on Fulton, which you can get to directly from 80, or if you take 50, gotta take fair oaks blvd to monroe to fulton.

Thanks man![/quote] Very small indeed. From where I lived in Roseville, I used to ride my bike through there to get to school... Not sure if you know where Granite Bay is (very close to Roseville), but my family moved there about 6 years ago, so I'm still very close in the neighborhood. Currently I'm up in Stockton going to school at UOP, but I still come home occasionally on weekends to be with the fam. Maybe sometime in the future, we can hang out and smoke a bowl Also, not that you would want to go to an actual lounge to smoke, but Cobblestone is pretty close to fulton. If you're on 50, take the Power Inn Road exit towards University Ave, take a left at University and Cobblestone will be on your left. I believe Sammer over at Taqseem hookahs said he doesn't own Cobblestone, but is part owners of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laher Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 These are not golden at all !! I had a good chat with Ali at socialsmoke about this, when i ordered some regular mint, and he shipped some GOLDEN mint. This is just a printing error on the packagin or new packaging is what he said. Im pretty sure both flavours will produce the same smoke/ but differences in batches and the freshness of the new tobacco could cause different.

Monil Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 There are definitely fake AF's around, I've managed to buy 1kg of it in total (stupid me huh? though i did get a refund for some of it), I've never actually seen real AF!!! Waiting for a shedload of it to arrive from hookah-shisha & socialsmoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually grew up in Citrus Heights after moving up here from San Francisco. Yeah, let me know when you are around, and if I am free we can get together and BS. I walk by the Cobblestone at least a couple of times a week, as I am a philosophy major at Sac State (yeah, I'm the old dude in the class). I used to have lunch there all the time before the hookah guys took over. Sadly, the food is no longer that good, and the main reasons for going, two HOT Brazillian waitresses, are no longer there. I actually went in one day to see what they had as far as hookahs, coals, etc. They were selling some cheap little Chinese hookahs for way too much (like $60 or something), and the Stargates for like $125 (the Samir factor). Anyway, yeah, no need to go to a bar and spend a buttload on a bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip : don't buy al-fakher from the UK, unless the massell in the tub comes in gold packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I always thought AF: Golden only made Strawberry, Apple, Rose, and some other flavor. I remember reading some where that it only came in four flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monil Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Yeah Laher, all my fakes came from shops in UK, I never realized they were fake until I saw a post on it here (probably yours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I think AF has started making a few more flavors in their Golden line. Has Orange always been one of their GS flavors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
