nakhla lingers so long in every hose its practically ruined...especially if the flavor is bad
AF - threw up after smoking grape last week after like not smoking AF for practically years (no idea why)
al waha / romman - honey based tobaccos are nasty
al amir - crap quality
starbuzz/fantasia - artificial taste / chemical
tonic / potion - didn't like when i tried them
hookah-hookah/hookah-freak - lowest quality stuff EVER. complete crap

Either you guys are picky like those little kids who dry heave from barely taste something they've decided isn't good without giving it an honest chance, or you've got something medically wrong with you... I never got headaches from anything I've smoked, and I've smoked about every brand out there quite a bit. I also get no strange taste or sick feeling from shisha with dye in it.

The only reason I'll avoid brands is if they're severely overpriced for what you get, like Fantasia, Starbuzz, Fumari etc. No problem with the products themselves, but I'm not going to spend 2-4 times what I do on other shisha for them... just plain isn't worth it.

Rosetta - Crap flavor
Al Waha - Didn't like the flavor on these either, they all had the same wierd aftertaste.
Soex - You all know why
Rommans - Have tried 4 flavors and thrown 4 flavors out, they make me sick

That's all the brands I've tried that I haven't liked and I've tried many flavors of each brand.

Fry.. err.. Stuie.. lol.. probably smokes Nakhla and Tangiers only. I didn't see Romman in that list either. Personally, I think Romman is crap.

Too bad I didn't get this list of no-nos before I went out and bought some Potion. I also got some Nakhla and Tangiers Lucid.

For me, I think I'll be staying away from Romman, most of the Al Fakher line, Al Waha, Al Amir, and Starbuzz (for their horrible pricing). Al Fakher is way too hit and miss. Good batch, bad batch, good batch. They just don't personally smoke/test their stuff before it goes out in boxes.

I think I'll be thinking of Stuie as Fry forever.. it's the pic's fault. And plus.. Fry probably smokes hookah too.

Edit: Oh, and Soex too. That stuff is horrible. It's good for about 5 hits, after that the flavor is gone and it's like smoking a tree trunk with sap. Edited by JDHarding

For the love of god stay away from hookah-hookah. I've had over 7 flavors and numerous bowls over a year period and consistently crap, crap, crap. You are way, WAY better off buying nakhla.

Seriously, no matter what, even if there is some insane deal, don't buy hookah-hookah.
