Hassouni Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Tangiers is good when you want to be incapacitated for a long time, the flavors are great though. AF is my go-to brand, I have yet to go wrong with them, but at the same time I've a fairly traditional flavor smoker (grape, mint, DA, occasionally strawberry), so I can't speak for more exotic stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nars2k Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It really depends on what you are after, Buzz = Tangiers OG Consistency + Some buzz = Nakhla Great flavor but sometimes inconsistent = Al Fakher Great flavor, Consistency = Mizo unique flavors= Starbuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretender85 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 tangiers(if you can get it right....), nak(mizo line is nice too), or romman(pricey, but tastes awesome and still sometimes has a buzz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 i'd go with AF or Starbuzz right now since, you're having difficulties getting some tobaccos to smoke right....AF is quite a bit cheaper, but if you can afford to spend the money then Starbuzz is more forgiving... both are washed tobaccos, so if you're not used to nicotine....you'll get a slight buzz. if you're accustomed to nicotine, you may not feel anything. if you can tolerate a bit of nicotine and a slight tobacco flavor (with some flavors), Nakhla is very easy to learn with...and some of the flavors are fantastic!

joytron Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I would say AF is the best tobacco to begin with, to me it was easiest shisha to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 but he doesn't want something messy...every batch of AF I have had has been very messy. nakhla has no mess to it, their mizo line is delicious. 95% of the time I smoke tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 AF is still my go to brand and I still get a nice buzz with it. Tangiers is good if you get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boludo Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I would recommend you go with Tangiers Lucid. It has great long lasting flavors, and you do not have to worry about acclimating the tobacco while you gain some experience with your hookah. Once you are more confident about packing, you can move to OG Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingsMaster Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 al fakher even though it can be somewhat messy at times but it can be remedied with a paper towel, nakhla mizo is also really good, layalina is a staple for me alsong with the others but can be a bit messier. and the always good tangiers lucid.

fillup Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If your just starting than id suggest Al Fakher. After you get ustto that go with tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venger Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 if it is the goo that gets you go with Nak. It is cheap,dryer,and huge flavor. My to go to brands are AF and NAK. AF is gooier but if you use a fork it works great for mixing the juices and "packing fluffy" like suggested. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogersmurf Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I live way out in the middle of nowhere... so Epic Smoke and Fantasia are the two best that I can find in stores around me. I'm looking to order some Tangiers in the near future. The consensus seems to be that it's one of the best brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acolorado Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Al-Fahker and Nakla as most have suggester are great. I find Layalina has the best fruit flavors in my opinion. Their strawberry and watermelon are much stronger tasting than other's I've tried with the exception of Starbuzz. Also if you want to try something different, try Layalina Rose - my favorite smoke.

Sonthert Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I never touch the tobacco when packing a bowl. I use...dunh dunh dunh! The oyster fork. Most people don't go after oysters that much, so if you have them in the silverware drawer, they are sitting there unused and unloved. Give them a purpose in life. If you don't have oyster forks, order some...then how "messy" the shisha is won't matter. These are my favorites currently: http://www.ablekitchen.com/supplies/RI-ROYSLVBOSOF/Oyster-Fork-Medium-Weight-Stainless-Steel-Boston-2-Dozen-Per-Case-2-Dozen-Unit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
