Jacob Shock Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Everybody has a brand that they think deserves more respect than it gets. mine is al-waha. its one of those "old trusty shishas" al waha has some great smokes in its brand name. but what brand dosnt? tell me some brands you guys think deserve more respect. rulse. tangiers, nakhla, starbuzz, and al fahker should not be mentioned due to the fact that they all have a very good rep. even though starbuzz sucks and al fahkers almost dead.

mattarios2 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 fusion, loved the stuff until it went washed and price sky rocketed. but even with those things, if SB is popular, so should Fusion, they have some really good flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Tonic... This is a good tobacco that's was coined as "Starbuzz Ripoff" (guessing because it came in a can), but it's far superior. They have even started phasing out their red dye. Prince... It's a cheap Tobacco, I can grab it locally in Austin when I visit the inlaws, most flavors are decent and I can walk out of the importers with a couple kilos for less than $25. Hydro & Saalaam... A lot of people hate on herbal, but these are really decent. Haven't tried every Herbal (Ed Hardy and El Rosha) but I did get El Rosha. I think it's herbal that should be tried at least once.

Arcane Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Fusion: the flavors i've smoked are great and i just bought about 20 more 50g tins to sample the more of their stock...and this tobacco puts out clouds like no other! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have to 2nd Fusion. Mattarios is actually the reason I got into it. I don't mind it being washed, and like Arcane said, huge clouds. If only it were still cheap. Some Al Awaha I like, but for the most part, I've always gotten the same taste with almost every flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakas Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 JM. Their pink-lemonade and hawaiian punch flavors are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Shock Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 stuie is right about saalaam. its herbal but better than most tobaccos. havent had enough fussion to make a proper statement, and ive only had tonic once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1024 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Fantasia...blueberry, pumpkin spice, triple x, peach fuzzy navel, purple haze...all amazing flavors. I'm going to say nakhla though, but mostly because out of the 7-8 places that carry shisha around me, only one of them has nakhla. You'd think with how cheap and awesome it is more stores would carry it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 layalina and fusion. layalina mangosteen is one of my favorite flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Starbuzz, and I'm saying because so many people hate on it because of the price, but you get what you pay for: an incredible flavor. Other than that Fusion and Layalina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried all of the flavours, but Pink Lemonaide, and blueberry are the first ones I tried from this brand. I plan on trying all of them, but the prices for a 200g canister are questionable. I think that's the main beef with Fantasia. People say there is a chemical taste to it, but I haven't experienced it...yet. I still have yet to try Starbuzz. The price is what keeps me from doing so.

JOE Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i think romman is pretty solid most of the time. a bit pricey though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 JM and Fusion. I find JM to have pretty mellow flavors. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for a face-rocking Tangiers session (although it's rare). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Gotta agree with Stuie. Fusion definitely. And Tonic was decent. Whoops SBs butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineout Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Romman def has some star flavors, first good times comes to mind..but i was afraid of it because the coals were so terrible Nak used to be underappreciated round here but now tons of people are on its nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i would say al waha it is on and off a staple in my drawers really depends on how financially i am doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universal Magnetic Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 JM pink lemonade is amazing, so is the tangerine it has a nice fine cut and can be packed (unlike most washed shisha) its almost impossible to burn a bowl and with the right packing and coals (3 cocos or CH) it puts out epic smoke.

As with all brands they make good flavors, and poor flavors, you just have to find the right ones for yourself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
