HookahDuck Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I just picked up a box of this on impulse(coffee sounded good at the time) for $8.00 at my local smoke shop.Nakhla CappucinoSetup: 15" single hose mini. Foil. Natural Bulk Charcoal. Smoked inside ~ 75 degrees F.First impressions: Standard Nakhla cut- a little juicier than most. Yellowish/brown color with supprisingly few stems. Smells remarkably like warm cappucino- bitter, with a slightly sweet and nutty aroma. Really made me want to fire it up- most ma'assels dont do that for me. 9/10Taste: No knock your socks off punch of flavor here. But, in my opinion its a good thing. I would be VERY suprised if any tobacco manufacturer has nailed this flavor more realistically. This stuff actually tastes like its name with no chemical bite or hint of other flavors. Very similar to the way it smells- Bitter with slight choclatly hue accented by almond. Like I said, its a lighter flavor, but extermely pleasing if thats what you're in the mood for. 10/10!Smoke Density: Little thicker than your standard Nakhla here- probably due to the wetter tobacco. 8/10Buzz: This is the only thing that is less than awsome about this ma'assel. I was suprised at this. I consider myself to be a rather 'vetran' smoker, and Nakhla tends to send me reeling in my chair with my eyes closed. This one was much more mellow- on par with AF. Probably a good thing... But I would have liked the normal Nakhla kick in the pants.6/10Overall: I very interesting flavor. I really recommend you guys check this one out- especially those of you who arent much for "fruity" flavors or enjoy a casual light smoke. This would be great after a hearty dinner. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashraj84 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Sounds awesome. I want to try Starbuzz's Carmel Machiatto which is probably something along the lines of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I believe the Nakhla Cappuccino is part of the EL Basha line. Am I correct? If so, that may be the reason for the taste and buzz being as mild as you described it. Have you or anyone else tried the Arab Coffee? If so, give us a review on it too.

HookahDuck Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Ahh!!! Sorry. It is the El Basha line. I always just refer to it as good ole' Nakhla. I should have said that sooner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlax Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hey Mr. Bubbles here is my reveiw of [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1556&KW=Vlax"]Nakhla's Arab Coffee[/url].

MR Bubble Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Vlax, thank you so much. NOW I remember the review. You don't need to send any my way, as your description seems standard "Nakhla-ish" and I can imagine (with great accuracy) how I would enjoy it. It's going on my list.
