JDHarding Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I asked for a manly shisha flavor, so one of you guys suggested Nak Earl Gray. Smoking it now, and wow.. this is really strong stuff. I love it! After awhile, I get tired of fruity flavors, so this is a very nice change. It really does taste like Earl Gray, and smells strongly of it, too. It's also kinda sweet like I put sugar in my tea. Very good stuff. Highly recommended!Should mix a little lemon into it for that little lemony taste in earl gray. Then it'd be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvtaco17 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yup its great I forgot about it because of the clutter that is my stash... its back in standard rotation now because I, like you don't like super sweet candy flavors all the time...

Jeff_T Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Its def not a normal flavor, but I really enjoy it too. It is great mixed with some lemon and a hint of mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I love the Earl Grey but am not often in the mood for such a strong flavor. I love mixing it with rose. Smoking it with AF Grenadine at the moment and it's really good. I expected the Grenadine to enhance the Nakhla but it worked the other way around, I taste the Grenadine better with the Earl Grey than I do when I smoke the Grenadine alone. A pleasant surprise.

Canon Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 it was pretty good, i had some earlier today for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It tastes a lot like AF Cardamom to me - maybe with a bit more lavendar-like taste. The first time I tried it, I was disappointed because of this similarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah I am getting my hands on more hard to find Nakhla flavors... Great stuff never been disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 i was actually thinking of "retrying" EG, cardamom, and cinnamon by Nakhla. It's probably been a year since I last did and never went back, however, I want to try the phunnel bowl method and see if I like it better. One of those may be tonights smoke.edit, actually today is starting off slow, may just have to make a day session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Coffee is hard to find got mine off eBay a while back. There is the site that's based in jersey someone discovered that has Kass and Esk. Apple So waiting to see if someone places an order to see if it's legit. If so... HELL YEAH!

Webbles Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Earl Grey is one of my go-to flavors. If i want to impress ppl, i pack earl grey. Its the most potent, realistic to the true flavor, i can find. If you enjoy the tea, YOU WILL LOVE THE SMOKE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 all the flavors mentioned in this thread, I personally love, except nakhla caramel .. i was not a fan of that one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I liked carmel it was nice smooth flavor.Its not a blow you a way flavor though but it makes a great mixer to tone any strongly flavored tobaccos down without adding any other noticable flavor other than a touch of sweetness.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm gonna go smoke some nakhla cinnamon and caramel mixed right now, never tried it but this thread inspired me to pull em out from the back of the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookie The Hookah Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Seems like we get all the random strong nakhla flavors at middle eastern delis around here.... unfortunately I haven't really liked any of them. On the other hand they're only 5 bucks for 250g so it's not much of an investment. On topic, earl grey literally made me puke. It was all lemony and weird. I wanted to die....

mattarios2 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 nob, pack it tighter, the lack of juices in nakhla = a tighter pack for it to handle more heat.I thought I told you once in chat ... how exactly do you pack it, waht coalsn and what kind of bowl are you using? Because Nakhla can REALLY and I mean REALLY handle the heat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pack almost as much as John does, but John just.. scoops it up and piles it on his phunnel! So he can put more coals on his. Though I think he might use a medium phunnel, not a small.
