logan92 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 my first tobacco buys were al waha strawberry (250g) and al waha africano kiwi (50g), both were awsome, i smoked them on their own, and mixed and its good either way, then i went back to the tobacco store to try some other flavors, i bought al waha peach, its very faint peach, you can taste it but not enough, its not something ill smoke by itself again, im always going to mix it with something, my friend asked me to get naklah double apple and mango, i had a very bad experience with naklah at a lounge and said i would never smoke that brand again, i went against my instinct, i really didnt know how different the brands could be until i opened the double apple package, it was lumped tight together and very dry, which was wierd because my little experience with al waha was all very wet, the al waha strawberry oooz's red, it smells great, but the naklah double apple was dry and smelled like licorice, it made me nauseous, and it looked like low quality, just cheack crap, even though al waha was the same price, it looked like higher quality tobacco, i went ahead and opened the double apple and took some out, to decrease its effect (making me feel sick) i mixed it with the al waha peach, it wasent very good, and most people might say its because the flavors might not have been a good mix but i thing the apple flavor was overwehlming and kind of sick, i was able to smoke just not as many puffs or nearly as long as a bowl that i enjoy, and i didnt like it enough to smoke the double apple on its own, so i gave the naklah double apple to my uncle, ill try the mango next but its naklah so im expecting it to suck.

HookahDuck Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Some people love Nakhla, some people hate it. I was among those that hated it for a long time, until just recently I bought a few boxes of it and gave it another shot. I actually really enjoy their double apple, orange, and cappucino. I too have found the smell of their 2x apple to be quite un-enjoyable. However, once I get through the set up process, it is still an enjoyable smoke. Theres nothin wrong with tryin out other brands. I suggest you try everything before you make your choice on your staple brand. I only smoked Al Amir for a very long time, until I found Tangiers . I still smoke Al Amir, Fumari, and Nakhla every once in a while though for a change of pace. I feel the same way towards Al Waha that you do about Nahkla. To each his own.I have a 250gram box of Al waha cherry and Al waha banana that will probably never be smoked. I'd be happy to let you take em off my hands. Let me knowTake care.

fishdog Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 what flavor of nakhla were you smoking at the lounge? cause the only one i dont really like so far it took me a couple of smokes to come to this conclusion but that was their mixed fruit, I have to say though i really like nakhla's orange...I would give it a shot for the price...cause 250g packs are like 4-5USD here...

yashman19 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm not a big fan of the Waha banana or peach. I don't know why, but I think I just don't like peach flavors in general. Doesn't even really matter what the brand is, they all taste too sweet/candy-ish... Just not a fan. And banana, once again, to sweet of a flavor for my liking. It didn't taste authentic to me because of the sweetness. Never tried Al Fahker banana though, anyone here tried it and enjoyed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan92 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 i would really like to know if anyone has tried al amir watermelon, because the store i buy from only sells 250g boxes so i cant really sample it, i got a 50g sample of layalina watermelon and will let everyone know how it is after i smoke it, but does anyone have experience with al amir watermelon?

If I remember correctly, the AA watermelon has a nice watermelon taste, but it wasn't exceptionally strong in the flavor department. Still a great smoke, but yeah, just not that strong of flavor. But I remember liking it a lot because their watermelon didn't resemble regular melon at all. A lot of brands of watermelon taste like they just took canteloupe flavor and added a little something to make it into watermelon. This is ok, but I thought I should have just bought regular melon instead... So thats why I liked AA watermelon. It didn't resemble regular melon with added flavors to make it watermelon. Give it a shot and report back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's real gritty and dry compared to say, AA's grape (excellent by the way). The only other watermelon I've tried is Starbuzz and while it had good flavor, it wasn't really watermelon (or any melon for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't recall anyone putting orders through... But I do remember liking the layout of their site. Nice, easy colors/fonts that are pleasing to the eye, but have never ordered from them personally. Sorry mang. Give the search function a shot and see if anything useful helps.

logan92 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 i smoked the layalina watermelon, the tobacco doesnt smell anything like watermelon, its a very strong sweet smell but not what i would call watermelon, the taste was very light, just like yash said about AA watermelon, the smoke didnt taste like watermelone either, it pretty much tasted like what the tobacco smelled like, it gave a great aroma off but i wasnt too happy with it, a few friends said they love watermelon they smoked at a lounge but they dont know which brand, i just thought watermelon sounded like it had a lot of potential to be good, i think ill probably order starbuzz since people say its really good, next im going to be smoking al waha "california dreams", iv only smelled it and it smells great!, the picure on the box has pinapple cherry lemon and orange, ill let you guys know, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpico Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah, I'd gladly take them off your hands too, Hookahduck. Well, really only the cherry.But that's up to you.PM me.I love Al-Waha Strawberry by the way. Not so crazy about the Al-Waha Sweet Melon, not that tasty. It's not bad though, so I don't mean to knock it. yum!-H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
