Al Fakher Shisha


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

Cafe Latte and Grape? 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. smile.gif

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. ohmy.gif

It doesn't even really need heat management. It's so wet that it'll take a long time to cook it. biggrin.gif

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.

meh, heat management schmeat management. Just pop some coals on and be done with it, nuff said.



Yep.. 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.

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.

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. tongue.gif
