freeOS Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Everyone was instantly in agreement that the shisha tasted like rancid tomatoes burning, we all felt sick, and had to toss it after a couple hits.Tried repacking with strong scents two times to salvage the session, to no avail, the tomato taste persisted in the face of spearmint and SB Blueberry Mist!I've got the hookah disassembled and submerged in a baking soda & lemon juice bath now, but this just sucks!It was a brand new 50g of Havana Strawberry from hookah-shisha.com.

Who doesn't like strawberry? I'm going to have to head over to the reviews section and see if I made a mistake picking up 6 50g boxes of Havana.

awhurst011 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Wow sorry dude hopefully you didnt make a mistake in buying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeOS Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well as of now I'm only out $3, but I do have 5 more 50g boxes of Havana waiting, so that's 5 more chances for maximum grossness.Fruit punchMentholBlueberryOrangeDouble Apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I don't smoke havana regularly, but it's one i can pick up easily when I am in austin so i get it from time to time. It's not great but it's cheap. I had strawberry before and it didn't taste like that. Maybe a bad batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeOS Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 It could certainly be a bad batch. I have friends who love Havana, so I'm not going to write off the brand wholesale just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Havana has a more heavy tobacco taste than a lot of brands. I like to put these brands in that category:HavanaAl WahaTonicTwo MoonsThey have some really good flavors but their tobaccoey [is that a word?] flavor seems to peek through during the session. I like Havana Orange, it's not as good as SB or Fantasia, but it's decent if you have it. I would try that next since it's a pretty safe flavor with every brand [so far the only brands to fail orange are Nahkla and Tonic IMO]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delSol_si Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 If you want a good cheap brand, get Layalina. Just stay away from DA and Margarita. Margarita taste like Pine Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes and smells a bit artificial, and appears to have a ton of dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
