Jacob Shock Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 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 IMOit needs a very short acclimation period. its ussluay done in a couple hoursone 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.

Chreees Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 i have tried a sample along time ago but wasn't interested in buying or carrying 500g packs, especially at that price. however, ihear that they will be releasing 50g packs in the near future and will be giving it a go when they do.

Scrappydoo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 wish i had known it was from lebanon, i have a relative coming in today, however, when i was there over the summer i didn't see it anywhere. what sizes does it come in in Kuwait?

mattarios2 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 1001 Nights is of course the second best spice flavor on the market, and probably only the second spice flavor on the market (7Spice is the other). 1001 though is something I smoke at least once a week. It is so ridiculously priced though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
