Nakhla Vs. Tangiers Order


Recommended Posts

After getting my hookahs last week and blowing through a bunch of 50g boxes of Romman, I'm confident that this hobby isn't going to be just a short term interest, so I'm starting to contemplate a fairly big order of shisha to hold me over for a while. So far its looking like I'm going to get a small Phunnel and a big box (or two) of John's CH quick-lights. What I'm debating over is what kind of shisha to buy. I like some of the Romman I've been smoking, but it's a little bit too expensive for me to buy a lot of it, so I've narrowed my choices down to Nakhla or Tangiers Lucid (I'm not too comfortable getting OG, I dont want to screw up acclimating it).

I really like fruit flavours, but not any that are really sweet or candy-like, Romman Sweet Melon made me feel really sick, and now even the smell of it makes me a little nauseous. Im also pretty curious of non-fruit flavours like mint, cinnamon, chocolate, ect. I'm looking at getting some form or variation of these flavours:

Orange
Chocolate Mint
Lemon
Cherry
Cinnamon

For these flavours, which brand would be best? I'm not opposed to ordering both Nakhla and Tangiers for different flavours either.

If i were ordering for the flavors you posted i would go like this......


Orange- I would get both Tangiers orange soda and Nakhla mandarin. both awesome oranges but in different ways
Chocolate Mint- I would go with nakhla mizo mint and tangiers cocoa.... that turns out to be an awesome chocolate mint IMO (i feel nakhla chocomint is more mint than chocolate). If your ok with a more mint chocolate mint than the Nakhla chocolate mint is very good.
Lemon- No experience here but i've heard Nakhla lemon is an iffy one.
Cherry- Nakhla Mizo Cherry. Mix it with Nakhla Margurita and its super awesome
Cinnamon- Nakhla cinnamon is the most intense flavor i've gotten from any bowl other than probably Mizo Mint. Mix it in with some double apple YUM!

Other recommendations that aren't on your list include any of the Mizo line of nakhla..... Mint if nothing else from the line. (i seriously keep a kilo on hand all the time, my favorite flavor..... when your not really feeling anything in your stash mint never lets you down)


hope that helps a tad.

Orange--nakhla manderin-- tang orange soda I hear is ultra sweet
Chocolate Mint--nakhla chcomint--havent tried tang's
Lemon--tangiers-- tang mimon only touch of mint--naks lemon is an aquired taste but I love it
Cherry--either nak cherry or k-cherry tuff call nak is more rose like well k-cherry is kashmir
Cinnamon--nak cinnamon gets great reviews--Havent tried tang but I hear its good

I'm gonna say that romman is one of the sweetest tasting brands to sweet for me it makes my teeth hurt like I'm drinking a coke.
I alos think you should grab 2 boxes maybee even three of coals.And don't give up on sweet melon flavors nakhla sweet melon is amazing.

Also save some cash getting 3-pack deals on tangiers.And get as many 50g sampliers as you can of nakhla

Orange - Tangiers Orange Soda OR Al Fakher (I know) Orange...its my favorite straight up orange flavor
Chocolate Mint - I like both the Tangiers and Nakhla
Lemon - Tangiers hands down. I love this lemon.
Cherry - Tangiers Marachino Cherry RULES!
Cinnamon - Tangiers Horchata OR Al Fakher Cinnamon (Great mixer)

Tangiers Horchata for Cinnamin.
For orange, There both good Nak Orange is really good and Tangiers makes a great Orange soda I would suggest that
For cherry, I gotta go hands down Tangiers Kashmir Cherry, Not really Cherry but it's one of my favorites.

Orange - Nakhla Mandarin / Tangiers Orange Soda
Chocolate Mint - Nakhla
Lemon - Dunno, not a fan of lemon flavor
Cherry - Tangiers K-cherry, although it's 70% kashmir and 30% cherry. If you want all-cherry, then; Nakhla Cherry or Tangiers Maraschino Cherry
Cinnamon - Nakhla

It depends on what you're going for, flavor or buzz factor. Nak isn't huge on flavor, though I have yet to try Mizo, which I have only heard good things about. Tangiers Lucid is great for flavor but not so much on buzz. I would buy at least one bag of OG Tangiers just to see if you are able to acclimate it or not. I know it may seem like a waste of money, but if you can acclimate it, it'll be worth it. Everyone has already suggested really good flavors for what you're looking for, can't stress enough about Horchata. It may be a good idea to take twoapples' suggestion and buy a three pack of Lucid and a bunch of 50g packs of Nakhla, especially if you haven't smoked Nak a lot. Nakhla seems to be an acquired taste for some;I personally love it.

I smoke for the flavour and clouds. I smoke too many cigarettes to get a buzz off of hookah anymore, so I really don't care that much about buzz. Romman is all that I've ever smoked, my choice of either Nak or Tang is purely based on what i've read in the forums.

I'm getting on a Nakhla kick lately, since the stuff smokes like a damn champ. Its a little less finicky then Tangiers, but honestly, the flavor still falls below the "WTF IS THIS REAL" effect you get with a solid, acclimated bowl of Tangiers.

I've really enjoyed Nakhla Mint, Strawberry and heard good stuff regarding ChocoMint.

Tangiers favorites: Blue Gum Ball, Orange Soda, Horchata, Kashmir Peach, Kashmir Cherry, Cool Strawberry.

Get lucid if your just starting out.

try cappucino, coffee, mizo guava, mizo peach, mizo cherry, orange, mizo apple, fak mixed fruits, da, chocomint, tropicana, sweet melon, mandarin, cardamom, cinnamon, earl grey, or margarita ... those are all kick you in the face flavors.

I found mizo to be a bit sweeter, OG had more floral notes and wasn't as sweet.

There still is a tiny tiny bit of floral in the mizo but not as much as the og.

Keep in mind I haven't had the og peach in a while so ... things could have changed a bit.
