Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was checking out AF's website (not AFonline, the main one) since I have decided to give them another chance as the reports of bad batches have mellowed out and noticed a few flavors they carry that I haven't seen over here - neither on vendor sites or locally. They also don't appear on www.AFonline.comhere http://www.alfakher.com/PRODUCTS.htm but not here http://www.alfakheronline.com/Category_250.htmAnyone tried Pears, Kiwi, or Gum Mastic ? I don't remember hearing anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Gum Mastic sounds like a flavor of chicklets (sp?) gum. This brand is def. more available in the Middle East. Personally I hate the flavor (in gum form). GNR if you happen to be in the Dearborn area and go to the supermarket that is in the same complex as Al-Ajami restaurant they may have some of the gum at the checkout isle, at least from what I remember. Just figured you should know if you wanted to see what gum mastic would prob. taste like. Anyway I would love to try the pears flavor and kiwi flavor....I love both fruits.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well, since they're two of my favorite fruits I figured it doesn't hurt to ask right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 all US legit af comes to sierra networks from dubai, look at the info on the box. no kiwi or pears, they are at the mercy of what AF in dubai sends over. it's been awhile since we got new flavors, guava and chocolate were the last 2 i recall and that was at least 4 months ago.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks John! Any chance that sierra can request the new flavors? I'm assuming that relationship is 2-way? I may call and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I called and didn't know whose extension to use so I waited for the operator and no one answered so I left a message with them, hopefully they'll call back!I just checked their website and they have all flavors listed.....and a CIGAR flavor!!!!! WHOAH!!!!CIGAR!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 \/ \/ \/ email i sent off to sierra \/ \/ \/```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````Hey there (to whom it may concern), I'm mailing you to inquire about a few flavors of Al Fakher tobacco that are in production but haven't made it to the US yet. I'm asking for my own smoking pleasure but also on the behalf of www.hookahforum.com as a longstanding member in order to let the good folk of the internet know if we'll be seeing them anytime soon. I checked out AF's website and they list Kiwi, Pears, and Gum Mastic as available flavors so I followed the trail, checked out a box of AF and saw your info. I also noticed upon visiting your own website that Kiwi and Pears are listed there as well, including a Cigar flavor. Any chance we'll see these anytime soon? I know Al Fakher has a loyal fanbase among traditional and modern smokers alike and that new flavors would be welcome, especially after the rave reviews Guava and Chocolate have been given. A vendor that frequents our site stated that you deal directly with Dubai and the import of all AF products so I thought I'd go straight to the horses mouth. (I own a solid AF hookah as well by the way, beautiful pipe)Thank you so much for your time and services, we all appreciate it!- Mark Vollmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 No response yet, which is always kinda irritating when it's a simple reply but who knows...so I emailed a follow up and cc'ed it to the CEO as well, thinking maybe they don't check their info@ address much.

mattarios2 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 when i messaged them to ask them about what kind of food coloring they use ... they sent me an email saying they would forward it to the manufacturing department and get back to me. They never got back to me, so i sent them another email and never got anything, so i wouldn't get high hopes. They don't give an F about their customers.
