blastoffbrett Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I went to a middle eastern food market today because I heard they have hookah stuff. When i was there I picked up a 250g of AF Jasmine and saw something that caught my eye so i decided to buy it. It was Dubai Tobacco's Special flavor. On the side of the box it says Al Fakher Trading Co. Does this mean that it's AF or just distributed through AF? There's only one review on Dubai on here and it didn't sound promising. I'll probably smoke a bowl of it tonight and post a review but it doesn't smell that great. Hopefully it'll smoke better than it smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Haha, I saw this topic earlier and was intrigued... but forgot about it. Then I saw your review and lol'd at your description. Did you try acclimating it? Might help, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastoffbrett Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 No but I probably will. There's a spot for the production date on the box but it's blank so there's a chance it might be expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapten Kanel Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Im not sure but i think dubai tobacco is al fakhers "local" (lower quality) brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Heh I thought it was the other way around...how their dubai tobacco was higher quality than the normal AF around here. I have some of both so I think I should do a side by side comparison. Anyway as far as the special flavor I have seen it but have not smoked it yet.

srawas89 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I came across this brand before and I believe it is a fake version of AL Fakher however it is still good tobacco. I buy this stuff all the time like their double apple and mint. Its not bad quality and with the loss in quality lately from the real Al Fakher I have been buying more of this brand. Either way if its good than smoke up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i wouldn't buy any flavor that has the word special on it.. tobacco looks good though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastoffbrett Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'll definitely buy this once I get low on cash since it's cheaper than AF. I'll be sure to check out the apple and mint too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattathayde Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 bet its fake, "Al Faker" on there is written as "Alfaker" and AF's company on the real af is listed as "Al Faker Tobacco Trading Co." not "Al Faker Trading Co. LLC" -matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 looks like what old AF use to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
