Al Masha

[scratchy]

Picked up 2 50g packs of it at a cigar shop.

Seems like a Nakhla clone and seeing as we're getting less and less Nak(oh noes!) I figured why the hell not.

I got Red Power(red bull) and Banana split.

They both smell almost identical, with the Red Power just slightly more intense, weird. The red power smell is spot on Red Bull.
Packaging is typical Nak style with the waxy paper in a sealed plastic baggy.

Both are blood red dyed, which put me off. Red Power was about as juicy/sticky as Nak Cola while the banana split was dripping in red goo. I could literally squeeze juice out of the wax paper.

Huge logs in both of them and the cut is identical to Nak, just a little looser and easier to pack for some reason.

Red Power tasted exactly like Red Bull. Very very nice. I wouldn't have minded if it were a little more concentrated taste, but still damn good.

Banana split was a very good banana with an ice-creamy texture, but tasted nothing like a split. A solid banana flavour though.

Now the important part, getting this stuff to smoke good was dead easy. 2 1/2 40mm ql's and I was getting huge clouds. I could skimp on the heat management for 20 minutes before it would get harsh and if it did, a quick move of the coals brought everything back to where it was.

Bowls lasted about an hour each but the flavour died down about 40 minutes in.

If you haven't tried it yet, please do. I doubt you'd be dissapointed. Start with Red Power and add Nak black liquorice. Spot on Jagerbomb

Hmmm never heard of it before but if it's good, then I'll keep my eye out for it! Good post

Just noticed something pretty dissapointing while reloading a tub of Nakhla. Even though the Al Masha packets state 50g, there is noticeably less in them than other brands. The cut seems identical, but I'd estimate only about 3/4 of it than Nakhla. Might be all the extra juice, but juice doesn't fill up my bowls

lol wow that much juice is in it lol but the whole point is that it tasted good and went down smooth so it was a good expirence for you. maybe al masha needs all those juice just to make that good taste.

Agreed, but it's still dissapointing when paying the same as other brands and getting less of the final product. Instead of my regular 3 bowls, I now only get 2 bowls from a pack

what kind of bowl are you using? phunnel? i know man, i hear you about that less smoking factor. we need to start a hookah tobacco regulators association (HTRA) that demands more tobacco less juice for same price lol lol

I'm just using my shallow mini Egyptian for now. Getting the best results from it
