seefoodlover Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Not comparable, because it does not compete with better brands. I used to love Al Fakher, but for a long time now, their brand is terrible. Grape gave me one good bowl, then it tasted like trash. Cherry tasted like smoke. Orange was so bitter, i couldn't believe it. Unfortunately, Al Fakher will no longer be seen in my stash. Any body else feel the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDHarding Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 AF "2" is good stuff, but their regular line is lackluster. Nakhla Mizo for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seefoodlover Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 The least few bowls i had, it would be smoke or no smoke. Flavor or no flavor. And then if i got smoke it would usually be bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universal Magnetic Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 my grape+mint tastes like shit now its just been in a container for a few weeks...same with my esk apple.AF has a lot of consistency issues, but when its good its really good.

Hookah_510 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think it depends which flavors you buy. Al Fakher peach, watermelon, strawberry, cocktail fruit and golden grape are my top flavors from them. However I'm not too fond of their mint, cafe latte, guava, vanilla, golden apple, lemon and grape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngraz617 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's fortunate it wont be in your stash because it sucks. I, like you at one time really loved the brand and the last year every time I smoke it I honestly hate it. Even when I don't know what I'm smoking I can pick up it's AF. I ordered out a mixed bowl of flavors one of which was AF guava which I didn't know at the time but as soon as I took that first pull I could taste that disgusting rancid taste in their Guava which to me is similar to their grape background taste. I can't explain it but I knew it and sent it back, just cant stand it. There are some simple flavors I can take like coconut but is there a company that cant make coconut? You get my point. Too bad they had the market at that price range as far as washed tobacco goes now I don't know in that range who takes their place with all those flavors they have, I mean Mizo is fantastic but it only has a few flavors, JM is really coming on strong but I don't know It's not my thing, hey you know what I don't think their sales are down, hookah is becoming more popular by the day and they could probably care less. For me it's Nakhla, Mizo, Lucid, Fumari, Starbuzz, those are my staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjako Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hit or miss sometimes...Watermelon is a 50/50 one.Peach has always been awful.Mint has never let me downNor Caffe Latte I don't like grape in general, so couldn't give an honest answer.Honey needs a mixer (bad just straight, thats more of a flavor thing though)Now, when I say miss / awful, its like weird headaches / allergic reactions (mouth gets fuzzy) all sorts of weird shit.

mattarios2 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 i don't buy it anymore, used to love it, but got 3-4 bad tubs out of 10 or so i bought from John and said f it.I am not saying I smoke all of these brands, but when there are brands as reliable and tasty as Nakhla, Tang, Starbuzz and Romman, why risk it with AF?

antouwan Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 haha well me and a couple buddies just made a pretty massive order with afonline. i'll post up some pics in the order thread when it comes in around friday. me and my buddies have been like john. we used to be all about the nak and some tang lucid but there's just something about the taste of al fakher...incomparable? definitely.

petruzzo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I just started smoking AF and I've been really impressed. Then again, I'm really into more subtle flavors like Cappuccino, Vanilla and Cinnamon. But I just tried grape and it was pretty good. I have to say the plum was pretty weak. Not bad, per se, just not especially good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppyrkr Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I love it, pretty much only smoke af chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxik916 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I used to love AF watermelon but the last 2 tubs I've had were beyond harsh and the flavor was just nauseating. So I switched to mizo watermelon and I don't think I can go back to AF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyJoe Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I don't like af grape anymore. Got a box of it a few weeks ago just didn't seem the same. But I hardly ever smoke af. I love nakhla and tangiers. It's pretty much all I ever smoke! Oh, and it's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiLLooR Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Im still a fan of AF however I get mine from the middle east and its always smoked the same month it was produced its the only brand I smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
