Greg_SA Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi,I was wondering if anyone finds the Al Fakher inconsistant? I bought the cinnamon after reading good reviews, and after smoking the cinnamon, it tasted nothing like cinnamon at all.I know there will be an element of personal taste, but no one in our group thought the cinnamon was at all like cinnamon CheersGreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 i've heard some people say AF is becoming hit or miss. I really hope I don't get a bad batch of grape or mint in my next order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 AF Cinnamon is more of a candy cinnamon (think Big Red gum) than an actual cinammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukhookah Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 anyone else notice mint is not as good as before? i find it taste more like toothpaste compare to bout 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 i have mint from last year and it is phenominal. as for the cinnamon, one of the guys in my smoking group was complaining he couldnt get the tobacco to smoke right and it had an odd taste. im going over there later tonight to try it so i can let you know when i smoke it, but ya it seems it has been hit or miss as of late.

MrMoodz Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 To me, AF's Cinnamon is reminds me of a some kind of cinnamon pastry. Regarding whether or not AF is inconsistent, I would have to say it definitely has been. I have purchased 2x 250g tubs of their watermelon. The first tub I purchased the watermelon was harsh and it was best used as a mixer only. The second tub was perfect. Lucky for me I have never had the ketchup grape yet.

Sonthert Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Cinnamon is pretty touchy. If you make the cinnamon flavor too prominent, it becomes harsh very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookie The Hookah Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've been smoking af for years now and only once had a bad flavor (banana)... although I never returned to it so maybe it's just the flavor itself, who knows? first post btw, hi all...
