I only had a few flavors ever... and the only one that stuck with me was grapeful dead. Partly because of the catchy name, but mainly because it was pretty damn good tasting.

Never bought the stuff myself, I'm too busy diggin my local Nakhla/AF prices to spend much more. Maybe I'll try some next time I'm in the mood for something new, what flavors would be most representative of the brand dyou think?

ive had a few and the fine grainy cut, lack of smoke, and heat management issues (i.e. easy burnability) turned me waaaay off.

I think for the most part I'll stick to AF, Nakhla, and Tangiers...

One of the worst shisha's i've ever had. You forgot to mention the watery Honey base and the fact that I read someplace they used Cigarette company seconds, which explains the roll your own cut to the tobacco.

But hey, if it's what you like..then more power to you.

It's a tobacco you can't smoke for clouds.

Most people get into this brand in the beginning ans it scars them, especially those of us who have been smoking for awhile now, and when HH had their absolutely terrible style that was probably the worst tobacco available.

They have made their tobacco so much better, and it takes a bit of a different skill to smoke this. It burns too easily, but sometimes it doesn't. Their flavors are very good and easily recognizable, and they have some flavors most companies don't. The smoke is lighter than normal, and the taste is great until you burn it, and when you burn it there is no coming back.

Those of you who only smoke Tangiers, this tobacco won't be for you. It's like a Tangiers polar-opposite.

I agree with Hippo, it does take skill to heat manage this stuff but in my opinion its not horrible they do have some great flavors. They seem to be improving in the past little while, I've been getting more smoke and better flavor but that could be me.

There's a point at which no more heat can be added and you get the most smoke you possibly can, and if you stay at that point and don't go overboard the session lasts over an hour and even multiple sets of coals. This is what I love about the tobacco.

What I do is let the flavor sit out for a little while on a piece of foil, kind of acclimating, but more like letting some water evaporate. This has led me to constant enjoyable smokes.

I've been smoking for about 4 years and I honestly still like Hookah Hookah...I do smoke Nakala, Al Fakar Golden, and a few others (gave up on getting Tangiers to work right) but the flavors Hookah Hookah has are some of the best, and honestly, I get very nice sized clouds off of it...apparantly I'm the only one...

I've only tried a couple flavors of HH (Lemonade and Honey) and I wasn't a fan of either. Not very strong of a taste, and what was there didn't taste like it should.

Recommend me some better flavors and i'll give the brand another shot. The shop by my house sells a bunch of HH.

Its the worst shisha on the market BAR NONE. The cut is way to fine so it burns way to fast (see mush's explanation). The flavors are very weak compared to other brands. They add water to it to make the weight, so you paying for water in your shisha. And since there is so much water in it it evaporates and takes all of the flavor with it. Most beginners start with this because its cheap. But ill stick with my tangiers, af, and nak.

LOL. See theres a problem with video reviews of shisha right now because Jonathan gives out more samples than previously known to man meaning at least half of the reviews you watch online are on HH/HF. And imo people are eager for more free product so they give HH/HF higher ratings. I'm sure ill get a message on somewhere else because i've said this...
I've never enjoyed this brand. Only flavor I liked to an extent was blueberry but it was nothing special

I usually dont buy it but i have tried plenty of flavors , i think some people say its a tad worse then it really is. it takes skill for heat management and you'll never have the flavor last as long as other shishas, but its not like a 1/10 its like a 7/10 in my book, which is lower then most other companies ...

From my experience it can be great but you will NEVER have a bowl of hh/hf where the flavor lasts longer than 40 minutes. I like my flavor to last through 2 sets of coals and with cocos that wouldn't make the first set

I've had to settle for HH mainly because it's all the local store will carry. Although, recently, they've started carrying Al-Waha and Rosetta and they completely blow HH away. I'll give this much to HH though: I find the 7 Spice flavor to be absolutely amazing. I'll probably be buying more in a 250g jar. I've found that each brand has that one flavor that none of the others have. And for HH, it's 7 Spice (IMO).

My view on HH is this:

When you first start a bowl its got very very good flavor. HH seems to tempermental in terms of heat managment and the like. I just find that its too hard to get it stable. After only a few minutes it looses the good flavor and is replaced with charcoal/harsh taste. Meanwhile other brands like AF, Waha and Nakhla have very good flavor as well and are no were near as tempermental as HH, so I never use it, and hate smoking at friends houses around here. HH is pretty much all the local shop they go to sells and they love it even when it tastes harsh. Guess I'm just snobby and picky about my hookah smoking :/

HH is complete utter sh*t. I have had over 15 flavors over the time span of a year and a half and have consistently had bad bowl after bad bowl. The stuff smells nothing like the flavor listed, doesn't even smoke like the flavor listed, burns too easily (blaming fine cutting) and costs more than nakhla. I swear this stuff off forever. Never again will I purchase this stuff let alone smoke it. I have 750g of the stuff sitting in a cabinet catching dust and would rather not smoke than use the stuff.
