4d1ct3d Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hello HF I want to find a brand with a really good melon / cantaloup flavor. So far I've tryed Nakhla's Sweet Melon, which is great but I wish that the flavor was a bit stronger, and Af's Melon which I find to be awfull. What brand do you guys think I should try next? I've read that Fusion's and Tangiers's versions are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineout Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 you obviously didnt get the SM to smoke right, its my favorite shisha ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4d1ct3d Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Unfortunatly there is almost always somebody that doesn't even bother to read the original post properly before replying, so I'll repeat myself.I did find Nakhla Sweet Melon to be a great smoke, and I bought recently a 250g box of it. I obviously get the SM to smoke right. After all it is Nakhla, the brand that I smoke the most and the easiest brand to smoke overall.I'm just looking for a stronger melon flavor. I don't need advice such as "Wow you didn't like nakhla sm?! you must be retarded".Thanks for those who have tryed to help constructively though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) actually, i agree with the OP. while nak sweet melon is good, the flavor strength compared to tangiers melon blend is really lacking. melon blend has very bold flavor, however...i don't really love it. it's good, but not great.i actually haven't found a melon flavor that i love yet...so, if you find one 4d1ct3d, let me know.but, as for recommendations - tangiers melon blend(OG) is definitely worth a shot...

FamiliarJoe Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I guess im on my own on this one, but I really like AF melon. Def smells of cantaloupe, and taste as well.One of the better AF flavors imo. worth a 50g sample if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4d1ct3d Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 I dunno about that, when I got it it was rather bland. Maybe I got a bad batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I hate how everyone attacks people if they don't like nahkla because they obviously did something wrong. Shut up! OT: Starbuzz Safari Melon Dew is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 try nakhla sweet melon with chunks of honeydew mixed in with your water, I've never done it myself, but it sounds ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone tryed fusion sweet melon?I've had the melon flavors Fusion offers and they're not very impressive. I felt like they were about the worst of the line, tasted generically like sugar. Try Tangiers if you didn't like Nakhla or AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think the Nakhla is about as strong a cantaloupe flavor as you'll find anywhere. Perhaps you should purchase another 250g pack from the web because the differences between packs can be great at times. With sweet melon, you want a DRIER shisha as opposed to a wetter one. Trust me on this. You wont get storm clouds but the flavor will literally kick you between the teeth. How strong do you want it? I dont know any shisha including tangiers that leaves so much flavor in your mouth that you feel like there's actual melon or blueberries or whatever in there. A lot of times, for me, its the essence of the flavor that you get, not so much a clear and present taste. To summarize: If you're looking for a taste, eating a cantaloupe is going to be your best bet and probably healthier for you. If you're looking for good flavor, Nakhla is the strongest you'll get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 melon blend is amazing easily one of my favorite flavors. I actually think layalina might have the best melon but it is no where near as strong as MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I vote Shania Twain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antouwan Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 i just got a kilo tin of nakhla sweet melon - this is the shit. i'm so glad i bought it, and for 22 bucks it was a hell of a buy.ummmm let me think about this...1000g nakhla sweet melon for $22 or 250g of overpriced shit in a metal tin...for more money?Uhhh nakhla sm - no shit.

milleniumsmoker Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Love the Tangiers Melon Blend but Shania Twain might be good too! Haven't tried her yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHookah Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Definitely try Starbuzz Safari Melon Dew or Tonic Honeydew Melon. Both are really good in flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
