Zinite Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Nakhla is meant to be smoked with foil. Inhaling the smoke from the combustion of any material is very unhealthy. Be careful if you're going to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 i just tryed it with my al fakher it was straight ass taste..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 What Zinite said. Just ain't sposed to be done that way. Kinda like warming your beer up and taking shots of it, which actually sounds like it might be a fun dare.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Zaghlhoul is a no foil thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was under the impressions Zaghloul was molasses based. Just unflavored. If thats the case, you need to use foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Tumbak you def. smoke with no foil...as for Zaghloul I think you smoke it with foil because from what I understand it uses the old way of flavoring using some molasses (maybe) and some dates.

*HOT&SMOKING* Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not really a good idea smoking nahkla without foil...It is generally smoked with foil, otherwise the flavor burns and does not taste to good.-H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 tombak you smoke with no foil after you pack it properly on the proper bowl. zaghloul is not tombak it is mu'essal. that being said i have heard of people that smoke zaghloul with foil and without, both giving good experiences if done right.

That was a perfect explanation. Those black styles are very strong and robust, and can hold their flavor when a lot of heat is added because a lot of their flavor is directly from the tobacco leaves themselves; as opposed to the lighter fruit flavors, which use a lighter golden brown tobacco that is close to flavorless. "Zag. Like" ... do you mean it tastes like burned shisha? Because the burning Apple and Licorice flavor could not have mixed well with the burning golden tobacco leaves. It would have just taste something like charcoal. If you only taste "burning" you are not smoking Zag right, maybe you need to add foil, etc. Just like when you smoke a cigar. If it tastes bitter or burnt, you are smoking too fast and torching the tobacco, and getting crap flavors, instead of individual flavors along the lines of caramel, bittersweet cocoa, leather, spice, pepper... etc.Zag should taste like a full-bodied tobacco, and that's the only taste you should get, with sweet notes of course, because it was used as an after-dinner follow up, so sweet was highly accepted.
