nuschultz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Drop half hawiian punch half water into your base and smoke any "tropical" fruit flavor. it is absolutely DELICIOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Man those sound good. And little hookah is cute (and would be convinient as hell). I've got too much Al Amir sitting around though, but do have a couple AF's coming in. So, Fumari and Tangiers are on the list to get now. Might have to have a week long hookah party to rid of everything I have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahCaterpillar Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I recently got an order of fumari white peach, plum, nectarine, blueberry, watermelon, mango, black cherry and passion fruit. The blueberry defenitely was amazing didnt taste like chemicals at all. My favorite fumari that I have tried is the black cherry wooo its amazing. The tropical punch sounds awesome defenitely hook us up with some reviews when you get the chance. I was thinking of buying that same exact hookah how do you like it?

dizzing Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i always thought tropical punch must be impossible as a ma'assel, given the nature of nakhla and al waha's mixed fruit tobaccos. glad to see that i was mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Z Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Oohh baby!! This little hookah is incredible as is... but I thought it needed one more little adjustment to make it the perfect traveling hookah. At 10" its really too small for a standard wind cover for smoking it outdoors, but I think I found the perfect solution. [img]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a24/Johnny_Zeta/DSC00618.jpg[/img] [img]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a24/Johnny_Zeta/DSC00624.jpg[/img] I recieved my windcover/bowl from Hookah-Shisha.com today, and despite being rather large I think it fits this little hookah excellently! I had a chance to throw on the new bowl and take it outside for a test smoke this afternoon and it smoked awesomely! It doesnt increase the size of the hookah much at all (only about 2") making the hookah 12" from the bottom of the base to the very top of the windcover and is still about the smallest hookah you'll ever find that still smokes just as good as it's larger bretheren. I also found the use of this bowl/screen/windcover device to lengthen the ammount of smoking time substantially. When I use one Three Kings quicklight coal I usually get about a 45 minutes to an hour worth of good smoking, as where with this new bowl I got about an hour and 15 minutes or so of pure quality smoke. Thats about an extra half hour! I also experianced no burning or negative changes in smoke thickness with this bowl set either. So yah, the hookah is complete now! At $45 for the hookah and $15 for the special bowl the total on this peice came to $60 before shipping. And after smoking 4 bowls through this little hookah and getting a top notch quality smoke every time I feel that it was worth every penny I spent on it. Rock on!! But enough about my new favorite smoking machine... how about some more reviews of the new Fumari? Tonights menu includes Premium Strawberry and *drumroll* Chocolate! =================== Fumari - Premium Strawberry =================== Appearance : As with the other Fumari flavors I’ve reviewed, this one is nicely soaked in that ever so special sauce. And just as you would expect from a Strawberry flavor, it’s bright red in color. The cut is (as with all the other Fumari flavors I’ve tried) like a halfway cross between Romman and Al-Fakher. Not too chunky, not too fine... I’d say its just right! Smell : Its got a similar smell to Nakhla’s Strawberry, but with something vaguely chemical smelling and seriously sinus clearing added in. It doesnt smell bad really, but it does smell quite artificial. Flavor : Its an impressionistic sort of Strawberry flavor in that traditional Nakhla type style. Its not perfectly realistic, (more realistic then Nakhla, but still not dead on) but you do get the distinct impression that you are smoking a Strawberry flavor. Theres an odd finishing note to it though... something vaguely floral that seems, to me, a bit out of place at first glance. After a few minutes of smoking the floral backround merges well into the midly acidic and pleasent Strawberry flavor. Its a quite tasty and really different and interesting take on a classic flavor. Smoke Density : Superb as usual! After trying 3 Fumari flavors I am convinced that the quality and density of the smoke is just as nice as any Al-Fakher I’ve ever had. It can take a whole lotta heat without ever burning and is totally satisfying. The only downside of it is that you might get 2 or 3 puffs out of the bowl that are a little too thick for their own good, giving you a little cough to remind you that your not smoking a total foo-foo mild candy flavor . In other words, your probably not going to feel like a metrosexual when smoking Fumari (but it’s really okay if you are a metrosexual... but be warned that you might not feel quite like yourself while indulging in a bowl of Fumari). Buzz: Total chill. Nice and relaxing without ever becoming so strong as to make your head spin. Good stuff for any occasion I say! Very nice in my book! Overall Impression : Although I don’t think I’ll be calling this one my new favorite version of a Strawberry flavor just yet, it was quite good. A mildly sweet strawberry thats slightly acidic with a decididly floral backround. It was quite tasty and a nice change of pace from the sugar overload that is Al-Fakher Strawberry and I would definately smoke it again before too long. It didn’t blow my mind like the Fumari Watermelon and Tropical Punch did, but it was really nice smoke that I look forward to having again. If your looking for a new and different Strawberry flavor to try I would recommend giving Fumari’s version a try! Its good stuff! Rating : 8 out of 10 And now for a flavor I've really been waiting for.... ================= Fumari - Chocolate ================= Appearance : Fitting of the name, it’s dark brown in color. Absolutely drenched in molasses (or honey, I’m not too sure which Fumari uses) to a level I’ve only seen before in the likes of Al-Fakher. Soaked! Smell : Okay.. I’m impressed already! It smells just like a Tootsie Roll! I would say more about it, but theres not really much to say. Perfect chocolate Tootsie Roll smell all the way! Flavor : I don’t know what kind of crazy alchemy those folks down at Fumari have been up to (maybe I don’t want to know) but this ma’assell tastes just like it smells! I was really curious how they would handle the task of creating a chocolate flavored ma’assell and wondered if it would be a milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or somewhere inbetween. But they totally caught me by surpise with this one! Instead of trying to make it taste like a chocolate bar it’s almost as if they melted down a whole ton of Tootsie Rolls and used that gloriously sweet chocolately goo instead of molasses to coat the tobacco. Sweet, chocolately, and utterly mouth watering! I would have liked the flavor to have been a tiny bit stronger, but it was still plenty strong enough to satisfy my taste buds. Smoke Density : Top notch all the way! Thick and rich, a true thing of beauty. Take that Al-Fakher! Your competition has arrived! Buzz: Mild and relaxing just like all the other Fumari I’ve tried. Good for any time, any place, any person, and any occasion. Niceness! Overall Impression : I went into this one with extreme skepticism as to how a chocolate flavored ma’assell could be done well, but after smoking a bowl of this I think Fumari has suceeded admirably! It tasted soooo good I don’t think I put the hose down for more then 20 seconds at any point over the entire hour and twenty minutes this very long lasting bowl smoked for. As I said earlier I do wish it was a tiny bit stronger in the flavor department, but I think thats only because it tasted so excellent I just couldnt get enough of it! I’m just glad I don’t have the money to fill a swimming pool with this stuff... because I’m pretty sure I’d end up drowning in it! If your looking for a nice chocolate flavored ma’assell that doesn’t have mint mixed in and you enjoy the flavor of Tootsie Rolls, then you should consider yourself obligated to pick up a tub of Fumari Chocolate! After just one bowl this ma’assell has secured a permenant place in my collection! Rating : 9.5 out of 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Great reviews!It looks like Fumari have really improved their quality control! I remember before their ONLY good flavors were meant to be watermelon and guava. The rest were always criticized. It's been a long time since someone posted a Fumari review.Kudos to you!

DougBurns Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Wow, that stuff sounds great. Anyway I could request a review? I'd really like to know how that caramel smokes. After Jbyers experience with the starbuzz this flavor intrigues me. I really want to place a fumari order, but I'm on strict shisha lock-down by the woman, seeing as I have probably over a kilo sitting around my house (including some wonderful samples from Tangiers that I've just begun to try). AGH what's a poor hookah smoker to do?! Anyone up for coming to Indiana for a the great stash smoke out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Z Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 [quote name='DougBurns']Wow, that stuff sounds great. Anyway I could request a review? I'd really like to know how that caramel smokes. After Jbyers experience with the starbuzz this flavor intrigues me.[/quote] Ask and you shall receive ================= Fumari - Premium Caramel ================= Appearance : Finely cut (like all Fumari) and light golden in color. The really odd thing here is that I am all but certain that for this this ma’assell Fumari actually used a liquid caramel or butterscotch sauce instead of molasses! It is extremely gooey and sticky, and and the sauce is really stringy when you pull the ma’assell apart. Smell : Very sweet smelling! I’m not sure if it smells more like caramel or butterscotch pudding, but it’s definately one of the two. A nice strong and sweet smell that makes me hopeful for an equally strong and sweet smoke! Flavor : It took longer then most ma’assell to start producing a good smoke, but after about 5 minutes the flavor kicked in nicely! I’m still not sure if it’s more caramel or more butterscotch, but I can assure you that it’s quite sweet and very tasty! The flavor is a little lighter then I would have liked and can be rather subtle at times, but it is by no means a flavorless smoke. It doesn’t scream “Caramel!” or “Butterscotch!” at you when you smoke it, but the flavor is certainly there in decent ammounts. The sweetness of the flavor is well balanced I think... its a nice sweet smoke that will make you lick your lips every now and then, but it never becomes overly sweet like the tooth numbing Al-Fakher Strawberry can. Well done! Smoke Density : Fumari = Top notch quality. Nuff’ said. Buzz: As per usual the buzz is a mild one, but still manages to be very satisfying and relaxing with every smoke. Overall Impression : I gotta say that I as a tiny bit disappointed with this one. It has a good and real caramel/butterscotch flavor, but I would have liked it to have been a bit stronger to be honest. The flavor was really nice, but there is room for improvement. However it was still a quite good smoke that I throughly enjoyed and would be happy to smoke again. If your in the market for a nice Caramel flavor that doesnt contain any coffee notes then I think you might really enjoy Fumari Caramel. I know I did! One other thing that should be mentioned though... when you smoke it, the caramel sauce used in this ma’assell pretty much liquifies and will drip down the inside of your bowl and onto the grommet in mass quanities. So be prepared to have a seriously sticky mess of liquid caramel to clean up afterwords! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ataneja Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Sorry another post (just realized there's no edit button!). Anybody try Fumari mango, double apple, and pina colada? I feel that these didn't have much flavor at all. The Rose was phenomonal, but anybody else have experience with these flavors of Fumari? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 In my opinion, the signature flavors are way better then the premium flavors. I've tried premium strawberry, grape, etc. and they wern't that great.Signature sour apple, cream soda were f**king excellent. Would buy again.I still have more to smoke...

txbrit31 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 First off would you pls review the french vanilla in the near future? Also- do you just keep the coal on the centre of the screen all the time except to ash it, or do you move it around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JByer323 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think that carmel seems to be one of the flavors that seems to be very humidity sensitive. The Starbuzz wasn't smoking very good for me with the weather changes we had been having, so I left it out overnight.The improvements were great, so you might give it a shot. Tangiers has said he finds some flavors more sensitive then others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBurns Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Johnny_Z, you're a scholor and a gentleman...too bad the caramel didnt work out for ya though...still might have to try some of that Fumari out...sounds pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
