Ayam Zaman.


Recommended Posts

I dont se any talk of one of my favorite brands of shisha so i feel i must inform my new friends at hookahforum.

Ayam zaman (referd to AZ from here on in) is a sassy dirty little smoke, much like tangiers and nakhla. its unwashed being stronger than nakhla but not quite as strong as tangiers. it is the only brand i describe as having a truly "balanced taste". buy this i mean you can taste the tobacco, sauce, and flavor.

it has a nice tobacco taste, much better and smother than nakhla. you can taste the molases. its not just sweet. you get characteristic of molases that i dont notice with any other brand, its very nice. and you have a moderate streanth flavor. the flavor on it is amazing as well. it is the most natural flavor of any brand. it tastse like the real deal. and the flavor last the whole bowl.

its a very "sticky icky" type of shisha so you need to use a phunnel (especially at its price) it gets a good duration to if you aske me. a little shorter than tangiers smoked under simmilar conditions, BUT JUST A LITTLE. it also a low stem count shisha.

it also smokes well tangier style IMO

it needs a very short acclimation period. its ussluay done in a couple hours

one of the negaives i find is it has a redish hue to it. simmilar to nakhla double apple, but less. ti appears to be a nauteral beat dye though.

of corse this product is marketed horribly. i dont blame people for not trying it. $40 to try a flavor is outrageous. but if your down with it finnishing 500 grams is easy.

Question: If it's so good then why haven't I heard about it or seen it mentioned here on the forums?

$40 is definitely outrageous, considering it's a brand I've never even heard of before.

Btw, please review your threads before posting- a lot of spelling errors make it somewhat difficult to read. You always have the first and last letters correct, so I get what you're saying but it still just looks so sloppy. Perhaps if you used correct spelling I might be more convinced to believe you this stuff is so great...

Here in Kuwait, it's widely available. I believe it's from Lebanon. Personally I don't think it's that great, it is just ok. It IS pretty sticky, reminds me of Turkish shisha. There are so many better quality shishas out there.

You havent heard of it cuz you havent been around long enough. I think some guy before bought a few flavors and sampled them out to forum members. Ya pretty pricey stuff, and 500g of a flavor you might not even like doesnt sound too appealing. Could be great though, never personally tried it.

bad spelling is not a big deal imo :/ We all have our strengths and spelling doesn't invalidate our opinions.

thanks for sharing about the brand you enjoy dude. the price is pretty silly but if you can swing it and love it then keep at it.

Even if HF is considered an informed community by many, it is by no means the end all be all resource for hookahs and moassels.

Agreed. Some topics came up when it was first released, but it was too expensive for most of us to dive into a 500g pack with no previous experience.

For the money I highly doubt it is better than tangiers or nakhla, but when it is in 50g I will be sure to give it a try.



in a sense your right. the price of a shisha is one of the major things in determining its value. if you bought nothing but ayam zaman your probbably gonna feel your getting the short end of the stick. its to pricey to be a major brand in ones rotation.

im not a ritch guy so i cant have assloads of it. but i always keep some for myself. i like it to much. because of the price i dont smoke it everyday, and its in my "personal stash".

im not a super fan of higher priced shishas, but its about the same price as starbuzz and the only one i feel comes close in value to asking price. but you are right in a way. its hard to justify when other brands are just as good. tangiers is just as good and cost less. and nakhla is pretty damn good and cost half the price.

The Price + The Vendors Carrying = No Sale for me.



i hope they make 50 grams, and someone else starts carying it. you seem like the shisha connoisseur of this forum. i think it would make you happy.


Yeah I wanna try it, but it's low on the list.

Pretty interested in 1001. Going forward all my orders are gonna go through HJ though, so I doubt I'll be trying it.
