skiracerj1 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Alright so over the weekend I tried passion fruit and exotic mango. Passion fruit: First of its appearence is amazing seriously I was so hungry at the time that i honestly considered taking a bite, very red and juicy looking. The smell is quite strong too, a little chemically though, but it was still a nice sweet smell. I should note that I've never had real passion fruit so I dont exactly know what its suppose to tast like or smell. The taste was simply great, on the inhale you got a sweet cherry like tast on your palette and then on the exhale it was a bit more of a citrus-y bite. The flavor stayed strong throughout the entire hour long session. It really does taste like a cherry mixed with like a mango or pineapple almost, very good. The smoke is pretty much the thickest I've ever smoked, it wasn't harsh, it was just so thick that it filled your lungs so fast that the next thing you knew your coughing up a lung, but once you realize the beast your smoking its so thick that you could probably hide from the viet kong in this stuff. Buzz was mild, but still there, a nice relaxing buzz, but just a little more would've beeen nice. I'd say this one is up there with the blackberry and a little above tropical punch, a 9.5 or 9.7 outta 10. Exotic Mango: Ok so the mango looks a little different than all the other flavors in that its a light brown instead of a red in color, also appears a little dryer than the others. The smell kinda made me skeptical because it smelled nothing like mangos, but rather straight chemicals, like i can imagine them using this instead of smelling salt to wake up a knocked out boxer, very strong and very tart smelling. The actuall flavor wasn't half bad though, in fact I'd say pretty good, maybe not exactly a mango but still good, I'd almost call it a-not-quite-ripe-sour mango, your get the mango tast but theres a bit of a citrus kick in the after taste. Smoke was again amazing, and both the smoke and flavor lasted for our hour and a half session. The buzz was probably the strongest of the fumari flavors I got but still nowhere near nakhla, not even close, but enough to make it satisfying. overall this one is definately good but maybe not the best of the line, but better than anything else still. In the end let me put it this way, fumari is like a luxary vodka, like pravda, that because of price you more just want to savor and its ok that you dont get F*cked up by it because its actually enjoyable, whereas nakhla is like absolute, which you drink to get drunk, not really for the flavor. Not sayin that absolute is bad, its just every now again its nice to go upscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
