What Are Some Good, Varied Flavors?

[imcharliemurphy]

As I said before, I'm buying a hookah soon.
Now, I just realized I have to pick out some flavors lol. What kinds should I go with? I've seen the raving reviews of tangiers and the nak-something (sorry I'm not sure what it's called, my browser is being funky and slow,) but I don't want to buy all that. As odd as this sounds, I don't want to start off with those two brands; I feel like if I start with those, I'll be starting with the best and won't realize how much better it is than the others. I was thinking about getting various Starbuzz tins, but they seem expensive. (btw, I've smoked hookah before; just not very often, and I don't know what kind or brand it was I smoked).

What are some other brands and flavors that you all reccommend? I like normal flavors, i.e. strawberry or other fruits, but I really want to try the more exotic and strange flavors that aren't just fruit or sweet flavors.

I'd say get a little bit of Nahka (I don't think it really is as great as some people think)

some Al Fahker

and some Romman


al Fahker is flavorful and very little buzz
Nak is heavy on the buzz with very natural flavors
and Romman is somewhere between the two


that way you get a taste of the varying styles of shisha

i dont understand the not wanting to start with the best part but if you got money to throw around do it..lol get you a bunch of 50g samplers and see what you like

Some brands that i feel make quality shisha are Layalina, Al Fakher, and Havana

Some exotic, non-typical flavors:
Guava
Rose
Vanilla
Chocolate
Mint
Cinnamon
Coffee (cappucino, latte, mocha, etc)
Cola
Margarita


You'll find some really out-there flavors, mainly from brands like hookah-hookah, but i think sticking with those 3 brands above would be on the safer side, stranger may not always be better..

But some hookah-hookah flavors sound nice and have gotten decent reviews, like:
Chai
7-spice
Butterscotch
Irish Cream


I mean, what you want recommended are brands and flavors that are good, but not as good as nakhla or tangiers right? I would recommend getting different brands anyways, because you also have to consider that some nakhla flavors may be terrible compared to that flavor made by layalina or al fakher, or one night you may be craving some shisha with a buzz, and another you may want only some flavor and no buzz, it's all a matter of preference Edited September 29, 2009 by Bandito

deffo start with the best! why use crap?

try tangiers lucid before tangiers noir.

[mitchard]

Don't buy HookahHookah. That is all.

Get Nakhla. Get Tangiers Lucid. Try a little bit of everything. I love Tangiers and Nakhla, but some people hate them. Its all in personal taste.

[Stuie]

Grab some Tonic and Romman very good and interesting flavors.

[joytron]

AF and Tang lucid, if you like the buzz get nakhla.

If you do not hate anise go for AlFakher Double Apple. You will be addicted.

that flavor is soooooooo intense lol, i can taste that flavor ten minutes after i have passed the hose

Start off with Al Fahker and go from there. Almost everyone I know hasnt said anything bad about it.

Once youve been going for awhile give Tangiers a try and see how you like it. Edited September 29, 2009 by fillup

The whole fumari line is great. About the same pricing as Tang, but washed. Fantastic tobacco, great flavors all around, thick clouds.....
