cansoykal Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm from Turkey and in here lots of people smoke "nargile", in English Hookah, but since it's illegal to import nargile tobacco in Turkey, people here look for illegally sold tobaccos. Today I got my self a package of Al Fakher tobacco but i believe I got ripped off because it seems that the tobacco is fake. Can you tell me if it's fake or not? I've seen the modern packaging of Al Fakher tobaccos but never seen something like this. Here are the pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Looks like the old AF packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinMoose Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) The flavour is not written on there. The Arabic writing just the Genuine AF and non counterfeit.And in big writing it says Al Fakher and Al Fakher Ma sell (which means sheesha tobacco).Where are you in Turkey I might go to Ankara this summer. I have heard that there are alot of locally made tobaccos in Turkey. Edited May 17, 2009 by SmokinMoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imsomint Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Old AF packaging. I got a couple of containers of expired (june 2006 to be exact) cappuccino a couple months ago for $5. The tub was also a cheap, thin plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 that looks very similar to the old AF packaging - i could be wrong - but i remember the red on the crown to be a little more red than yours...like i said though, i could be wrong. imo, i was never a fan of their strawberry, nakhla's is much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
