Rani Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is a rant...... If you don't want to hear it don't read it...... But for those of you who do:Don't you hate it when you find your favorite smoke. You get it down pat. You could pack in the dark blindfolded with one hand tied behind your back and it's perfect. You know exactly which bowl and how to poke the holes for that brand/flavor every time. You go through 2 or 4 or a dozen tubs and every smoke is to die for. Your friends are like "I gotta get some - it's so good." Then along comes a tub and you use your tried and true technique and wham..... It doesn't work and you're disappointed for the first time in forever. Why? They've changed their formula. So you're back starting from scratch trying to get the right bowl/heat/hole combination. Doesn't it just piss you off??????Hey manufacturers! Seasoned hookah smokers can work with just about anything. Coals superhot? We'll adjust by hanging it half off the bowl. Dry? We'll trick it up with a little glycerine and honey. At long as it's always the same, we can work with it. But quite changing it up everytime we turn around. AF especially, get your act together! Please.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Amen. I think I am just going to stick to Tangiers and Naklah from now on. The flavors are great and none of them taste chemically at all. Af was a favorite of mine but then they decided to go and mess with a good thing and now its like a roll of the dice as to how bad the tub actually will be.

TBatcho07 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Same here...I was a long time fan of Al-Fakher but all of a sudden...BOOM...TERRIBLE batch of Orange..It made me puke..I felt sick for at least a day...Since then I have not messed with AF AT ALL....All I smoke now is Tangiers,Hookah-Hookah,and Hookah-Freak.

belamor Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Something is definitely wrong with AL FAKHER. Like you are allways risking if you will get a bad bach or good. Maby somebody has the answer WHAT IS WRONG WITH AL FAKHER THESE DAYS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I wonder if this is more down to the vendors. Maybe badly handling the packages or storing it badly?Just a thought...However layalina are also bad for what appears to be inconsistant quality control.Had 2 boxes of a sweet melon which were fantastic,Then the next few made me want to puke.

FamiliarJoe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I hear you ..where I am the main brands everyone smokes are AF and Starbuzz. If I had more options I wouldn't be risking it but I buy some AF every week. Hope this weeks supply gives me a good experience :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
