al-bab Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Does anyone know of any brand that actually tastes like the fruit it is supposed to? I have tried al-fakher, grape, strawberry, orange, cherry, melon, apple, mint and double apple. By far, the best tasting flavor has been mint. While grape and strawberry were enjoyable, they did not really taste much like strawberries or grapes. Can anyone recommend a shisha that actually tastes like the fruit it is supposed to? Choukrane.

HookahCaterpillar Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 you didnt even mention the brand and i can almost gurantee your talking about nakhla. Only a few of there flavors actually taste like what there supposed to. There sweet melon, banana, lemon, and a few others taste like there supposed to. I highly reccomend fumari insannee. For a long time i was on a hunt for a mango that actually tasted like mango. Fumari is what i found. Insanneee. A little pricy but very good sh*t.

c4r80n Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 you did.anyways, yeah try fumari, try their more exotic sounding flavors as they don't differentiate between their premium and signature brands any more.Cream Soda and Sour Apple were ones I liked. Others tropical punch, blueberry, white peach, etc etc.their strawberry, carmel, grape, etc wern't that good in my opinion.also try lettin gyour tobacco sit out for a couple hours before smoking...might increase the flavor.starbuzz is supposed to be good too. but really pricy. socialsmoke.com has it.

HookahEnthusiast Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 If you have the money and dont smoke heavy amounts (i.e: more than three bowls a day) than i would definitly reccomend starbuzz tobacco from over at socialsmoke. By far the highest quality ma'ssell ive smoked. I cant really vouch for a wide variety of their flavors personallys since ive only had blackberry and orange but both were exceptionally good and ive read/heard nothing but positive things about their other flavors...

Sonthert Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hey! There's this one brand I heard of that alot of people say it tastes like what its supposed to, in fact the guy who started it, started it with exactly that philosophy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-bab Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Tangiers, Thanks for your reply. I will be honest, I’m a little bit hesitant to try your Shisha. It seems as if while most people really like it, they have a lot of initial trouble with it. Most of my smoking is done with people that smoke as a way of relaxing and sobering up after a party or a night out. They like the taste and relaxation of the Shisha but they aren't necessarily "smokers." Do you think your shisha is o.k. for the average social smoker?

HookahCaterpillar Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Ah sorry you did mention it was al fakher im an idiot. Either way fumari is the way to go. Tangiers is also good shisha although it gets very harsh after the first 10 minutes. Some people have figured out ways to reduce the harshness by breaking up coals in little pieces or all kinds of stuff. For me i havent been able to get a smoke without it being harsh. One of those things if you smoke tangiers without it being harsh its one of the most insanely good brands out there. Very "real" tasting shisha.

gib0r Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Starbuzz man. With my coconut charcoal, I can smoke an entier bowl off of a pair of blocks. And we're talking initial coal set too. Have never needed to start off slow, add more later, or what have you. Might have to juggle the coal a bit on your screen/foil every now and then, but you get a good solid toke from start to finish, with a mouth full of flavor, and lung full of smoke. Worth every penny. Definatly a leaf you don't have to f**k with too much. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thats funny...I smoke a bowl for 4-8 hours without harshness.Al-Bab: all you read is the people who had trouble the first few times...most people don't have a problem...they rarely write "first time went well". If you know what I mean. If its not for you, I understand, its not for everybody...smoke what you like, not whats popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
