twoapplesplease Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I decided to try nakhla khan el khalili strait today.I first tried it packed just like OG nakhla and it smoked alright for awhile but not great by any means...So I decided to remove the foil and put some fresh Khan el khalili in and try it with no foil since I still had a good sized coal burning.It was great I loved it. Tasted like rasins and packed a hell of a punch.Its been alot of years since I smoked without foil and I'm gonna be smoking The khan this way all the time now. It was'nt harsh at all actually the khan is almost immune to heat.EPIC WIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 how many coals?what kind coals?what size bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 it was a tiny egyptian bowl.Holds like 7g-10g...Unfortunatly I used a 40mm golden, but It was good and burned when I decided to try it with out foil cause the foil wasn't working too great.I just said F*&^%it and threw it on there. Turned out wellNext time I'm gonna load my shallow wide with about 12g-15g and use 2 coconara's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoodz Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 This is interesting indeed. I do have one question though. How bad does the flavor remain in your hose after you're done with it? Does it smoke like Nakhla Zaghloul without foil? I mainly use coconut coals and I am wondering if it would be too much heat for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoapplesplease Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Smoking it right now...2 coconara's was too big for the bowl so I broke a large coconara in half.I'll load the pics if it turns out good.But right now I think It needs some tweaking yet.The coco's aren't too hot at all.. I might need a special hard oak coal or something.not sure how bad it ghosts, its un-flavored so I don't think its a problem unless you don't like a strong tobacco taste...The khan seem invinsable to heat I'm gonna have to try 2 or 3 more bowls of this too get it down when I get it working good I'll load those pics...This one I took pics of, but its not going the way I hoped, I know better is possible....Its still kicking my ass though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I don't think the shallow wide is the way too go with the khan...My other tiny egyptian was working better...This stuff really does a number too your bowl, hard too clean the chared moalassis off it.I've been mixing it with various nakhla's with good succes...I might just have to go find some glycerin and try some experiments.I might just have to order some AF cigar and try mixing it with that and letting it sit a day or 2 to absorb the juices.

MrMoodz Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I mixed it with a 2 to 3 Khan to AF Pipe ratio and it smoked and tasted amazing. It didn't need to sit or anything. With Zaghloul I have mixed it with low amounts of glycerine and honey and had good sessions as well. I can't wait to smoke some more Khan El Khalili this weekend.

Yea If you smoke for clouds than this is not your boat, but if you want STRONG tobacco flavor and a 2x4 smack to the head buzz then the khan is the ticket...I'll try another bowl of khan in the morning its just too strong to smoke it more than once a day.

twoapplesplease Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've tried it a few more times a few different ways now..And I like it and all strait with no foil, but I really like it as a mixer much better...Adds a nice tobaccoy flavor to other Nakhla flavors...I'm gonna use it as a mixer probly 98% of the time and maybee once or twice a month strait with no foil...Seemed to work best in a regular medium sized egyptian bowl packed fairly tight 2 coconara's right on top no foil....For smoking it strait with no foil...And yes ohhh damn does it ghost like death...But I don't mind the added tobacco flavor others will probly be grossed out by it.
