Fakher Golden Strawberry

[Dave]

Let me start out by saying that I'm a huge fan of Al fakher.  Tried almost all their flavors and liked everything I've tried.  I expected this to be the same, but..I was extremely disappointedSetup:  Khalil Mamoun hookah purchased from hookah company.  Nour natural coals and as always, iced water.Texture:  Typical Fakher style.  Very few stems and drenched in molasses.8 out of 10Smell:  Surprisingly pleased as it smelled like strawberry jam.9 out of 10Flavor:  This is where it got ugly and weird.  Even though all of my hookah sessions involve iced water or other liquids, this shisha actually felt warm going down.  It was smooth al fakher smoke, not burned, but had an unusual warm flavor.  The smoke tasted like crap and hardly anything like strawberry could only smoke for 10 minutes or so, then emptied the bowl and started over with my trusty fakher regular apple.1.5 out of 10Smoke Density:  Thick, status quo with al fakher.10 out of 10Overall, I wish it tasted as good as it smelled.

Seems like I'm one of the only people who actually enjoys fakher strawberry... You're not the only one who has problems with strawberry's flavor, but I was almost complaining on how MUCH flavor fakher's strawberry had. It was almost too strong
But yeah, I enjoy the stuff, sorry to hear you had a bad experience with it. Maybe I was just lucky and had a couple of good batches?

Try romman strawberry if you can fork out a 20.

yeah.. I think I'll pick up a 50g box of havana and check it out.  Its too bad fakher only has 250g.
