logan92 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i thought al fakher was supposed to last long as "premium shisha", i find that my al waha bowles last with taste and smoke much longer, i barely smoked for 40 minutes with al fakehr mango 2apple mix until the smoke got thin and light and the taste died down as well, but with al waha i can smoke for 2 hours with no problem of losing amount of smoke or taste, a friend told me that all he ever smokes is naklah because it lasts a really long time, i always thought it was the expensive stuff thats (not "better" but) lasts longer, wierd.

mushrat Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I assume you added more charcoal to the AF to no avail.... Don't know what to tell you, I seem to get pretty standard runs out of most of my Ma'asell. HH was about the only shorter smoke I remember.

Seandoo Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 AF isn't always the best. Well no company is, for that matter. AF GS is the best line of AF typically...like the AFGS Esk lasted freakin' forever. That stuff was so soupy though...probably explains it... But yeah I have AF Strawberry and it kind of tastes like butt. Really not much strawberry flavor...I don't know it just tastes kind of wrong. AFGS Strawberry is much better IMO. Just gotta try different ones and see what works for you. For me, when it comes to AF, GS is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i have AF GS strawberry and I don't get much flavor at all. lots of smoke though. unsmoked smells freakin fantastic though, and it's soaked. (puddles at bottom of jar, yes i do mix before smoking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Just goes to show that some brands/flavors can vary greatly by when the batch was concieved... I've had the regular AF Strawberry, and was almost choking because there was sooo much flavor... But when I smoked a sample of AF GS Esk Apple, there was flavor, but an odd aftertaste that I didn't like all that much. Still good, but I probably wouldn't buy anymore. My Al Waha tends to last me around 1h - 1h30 minutes. 1h30min if I push it though, and even by then it starts to diminish... But the only Al Waha I really buy anymore is their vanilla and cola. My lungs just don't fancy much of their other stuff as much anymore. Guess my palate is evolving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahEnthusiast Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 yea ive also had the AF strawberry and found that it was more like just a cool smoke rather than a fruity flavored smoke..i was rather dissapointed...now starbuzz..thats another story!

aronparsons Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hmmm, I just ordered some AF strawberry after reading a few reviews on here about. I have mainly Al Amir and get tired of the flavor fading after 30 minutes; I was hoping the AF would solve that. Maybe I'm in for a disappointment Guess we'll see on Tuesday night.

Sonthert Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Al Waha is a very good brand, never underestimate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Z Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Okay, now I gotta speak up for the Al-Fakher Strawberry! While it isn't the most realistic Strawberry flavor around, it does taste exactly like a slice of strawberry cheesecake to me. Its super sweet and really rich! Although its too sweet to use as an every day smoke, I do love the stuff every now and then. So if your into strawberry cheesecake I think you'll love Al-Fakher Strawberry, but if you don't like cheesecake and arn't looking for something super sweet then you might be better served by either Al-Amir or Nakhla Strawberry. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicada Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 i find that nakhla typically lasts longer and isnt ridiculously wet like fakher or havana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents[/quote] MAAAN! I love all my flavours SUPER sweet, but when i ordered the AF Strawberry from hookahcompany a few months ago, there was hardly any flavour . Must've been a bad batch or something...I havent ordered any since... Smoked the AFZAL Strawberry other day... Pleasant smoke, with just a hint of mild floral strawberry...this tobacco is high on the nicotine and gets you mellowed quick which i loved.. !! Buzz factor: 9/10 But it was abit low on the flavour side...maybe im too harsh on my 'rating' on flavours, but i do look for POWERFUL flavours rather than the mild/floral types..I couldn't really taste much flavour after a few hits...pretty disappointing tbh! Flavour : 6/10 The smoke produced was very thick, from both nour and three kings...comparative to any AF, maybe even thicker at certain points, but very nice silky smooth smoke.. Smoke 9/10 again...
