JDHarding Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well, I'm smoking Al Fakher "2" Double Apple here and I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. So, even though I put down AF a lot, maybe I should try some other flavors? So which are some of the best AF flavors out there? And please, no Nakhla or Tang or other brand mentioning. Only AF. Also, no negative posts about AF, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 pipe is really damn good, also esk apple and bah apple. Plum is my wifes favorite but I think it tastes like tea and melon tastes like a domestic beer. Cherry is pretty much flavorless but lemon is phenominal. Mint is one of the best around mango tastes flat. gum is lame and grape does not taste like ketchup, it tastes great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 all of thier grapes are the same just with different ammounts of flavoring as far as i can tell, thier golden grape being the most flavorful and white grape being the weakest.

mitchard Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Mint and esk apple are the only two I will smoke regularly. Cafe Latte and Grape mixed together is amazing though.There is a mix at the local bar called "hardish" or something. Its AF Pipe, Cardamom and cinnamon I believe. Its awesome. I just haven't bought the three of those so I haven't tried to replicate it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I liked strawberry, watermelon, lemon, mint, melon, and a few others. I remember not liking grape and double apple, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta be the weirdest flavor mix.. though I had Nak Coffee ghosting in my pipe and it seemed to enhance the flavor of everything else. Coffee FTW.

JDHarding Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wow.. well that's a first, guys. I got this AF2 in a phunnel, had coals sitting on the same spot for who knows how long, and the stuff just kept sizzling and DIDN'T BURN. It doesn't even really need heat management. It's so wet that it'll take a long time to cook it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhineholt Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 JDHarding, thanks for this topic. I was going to get an order ready and I wanted to try more Al Fakher. I've only had strawberry and I liked it. However, I left it in the container too long... like, 3 months after being opened. I tried to smoke it and it tasted like straight up plastic. I still have it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only rotated them one to get more flavor, but I don't think I really needed to. The stuff sizzled the whole time. Like an hour worth of smoke with little management. I did ash them a few times. John's coals can get ashy and clog airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburns Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Im a big fan of AF double apple, but the last batch I had tasted much sweeter than normal, and I didnt like it as much. Im not really a fan of grape either but all my smoking friends love it. AF cherry is in my opinion best avoided. But I love lemon!!! It is my favourite smoke hands down. I didnt really like Nakhlas mandarin but AFs lemon is just devine, definitely get this one and mint is awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickstephanie Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 GRAPE. This flavor is sooo delicious! It's one of the flavors I want to have available at all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momatik Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Out of the AF flavors I have tried I recommend: -Mint-Bahraini Apple-Chocolate-Grenadine-Watermelon-Orange-CinnamonI do not recommend:-Cocktail-Grape (probably a bad batch)-Pineapple-Honey-Strawberry-Banana Edited October 13, 2009 by momatik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Watermelon tasted the same as Nak Miso Watermelon. Though the box John sent to me for free had leaked all the juice out, and the shisha was fairly dry. On the back he wrote "Can't sell it, but still good". lol.. send me some juicy stuff for free next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
