thevoiceofzeke Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hello friends...I just went down to a head shop down the street from me and got my first box of Nakhla ever...I think I overpaid though, haha ($3 for 50g?). I hope this lives up to all the hype!Hookah is clean and ready to go. Bowl is packed. Coal's on the stove.I'll let you guys know how it goes .P.S. It's strawberry.

Hookie The Hookah Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Strawberry is one of my favs. Hehe 3 dollars is overpriced, I pay 5 dollars for 250g... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 You paid a fair price. 50g is smoke shops is always around 3 bucks. Much cheaper to order online though. I don't know where Hookie is getting stuff, but online its 7-12 bucks for a 250g of Nakhla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcracer_tx Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yep, I smoked some Nakhla strawberry earlier today. Its one of the few flavors by them that I actually enjoy. I'm sure you won't be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookie The Hookah Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We have a decent middle eastern population 'round here. All they sell is Nak and it's super cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynysterPhoenix Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Strawberry Nakhla is a good one. Not candyish, not even like the real thing. More like strawberry jam, which i quite enjoy. I hope you do as well =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevoiceofzeke Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sooo the verdict:Good, but not the best shisha I've smoked. It was definitely tasty and the smoke was really clean...it had a good flavor and smelled delicious, but the volume of smoke was lacking in comparison to my staple (El Hennawy). That, and it burned a little quicker...and it seemed to be more dry than El Hennawy too when I unwrapped it. If I smoked hookah for the buzz, this shit would have ranked #1...it hit me hard as hell, but I smoke more for the smoke tricks and the fun of smoking =P...the buzz is usually just a bonus.It was definitely good stuff though...I'll probably get a 250g next time.

I don't have the fortune of owning a funnel or vortex bowl...just your standard ceramic, but in the bowl I smoked I packed it like I do with normal shisha and I used two of these [http://tinyurl.com/yl8xc5p] Chinese "Easy-Lite" coals (knockoffs of Japanese Golden Coals). I light them on an electric stove and let them cook until they're pretty much red all over before putting them on the bowl. Errors in practice?

mattarios2 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 check out twoapplesplease's tutorial, he made a tutorial for an egyptian bowl. I dont have a link but im sure he will chime in and post the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 welcome to nakhla country...I'm not all that great with links so I'll just say nakhla needs to be packed tighter than most other forms of shisha tobacco.You'll find lots of great info using the search button.

kdkhookah Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Nak strawberry is one of my absolute favorites. A good suggestion for Nak is to acclimate it as you would Tangiers. I used to just smoke it right out of the jar, but after I found out about acclimation, it made the flavor even better. It seems kind of silly to acclimate 50g though, but I think it would still be worth it. I think that might be one thing that puts people off of Nakhla is that they don't acclimate it.
