nars2k Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well I never got into the whole Herbal thing but a few days ago I got a 50g sample of Saalaam Herbal Shisha to try it out and see how it was. The first thing I smelled was Key Lime Pie and it smelled amazing. I took it home, packed it ( very unusual looking, looked sort of like hay ) smoked it and I was blown away. When herbal shisha first came out I thought it was a joke but after smoking it I'm quite amazed. There is obviously no buzz due to lack of nicotine but it smokes just as well as regular tobacco, nice thick clouds, and amazing taste. Have you guys tried Saalaam or any other herbal shisha?

You're better off with some washed tobacco if you aren't looking for nicotene content. I haven't had Saalam, but from what I hear, that brand is the best for herbal shisha.

[/quote] Close enough! Surprisingly, it lasted just as long as AF! Nars and I smoked the Key-lime pie together, and man, it lasted well over one hour. That was impressive, never thought Herbal shisha could last so long. 1 hour + in a regular Egyptian bowl. The best Herbal stuff I smoked! Highly recommend this brand.

ih303 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've only tried the Soex, Hydro, and Saalaam herbal shishas and Saalaam is by far the best. I just wish I could find it in sizes greater than 50g. Lemon Pucker is my favorite flavor. Smokes like a beast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christama Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I've smoked quite a bit of herbal shisha because my girlfriend is opposed to any kind of tobacco use, but likes the flavor. We've only ever had the Hydro stuff, but I like it. No buzz, but good smoke and flavor. I really enjoy the blueberry flavor the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Pucker..amazing flavor..just smoked a bowl of it with AF Mint..heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nars2k Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yeah we smoked Lemon Pucker a few hours ago, good stuff. As codename said, their 250g is going to come sometime soon. Might even see a Kilo . Anyways, its not about nicotine content or being against tobacco, as a matter of fact Nakhla is my favorite tobacco but I just enjoy trying new things. Especially when they exceed my expectations. I havent heard good stuff about soex but from the couple of flavours of Saalaam I tried im very impressed. Tried watermelon today ( incredible, smells and tastes just like watermelon. Unlike some other brands whose watermelon tastes like jolly ranchers) and the Lemon Pucker ( very good lemon, a bit mellow though not as strong as some other brands. Then again its herbal).

Stuie Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I like herbal. I don't get a buzz any more so I am over the whole "herbal has no buzz" thing. I have tried a lot of herbal... lot of crappy herbal. Saalaam and Hydro are the best out there. Black Label is mid range. Soex and High Life are just AWFUL! Now I am hoping Scalli gets fully recovered soon and fixes the kinks in his herbal... because as you know... Scalli's blows all of them out of the water! Especially JD Black Label.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE03 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Ehh I have tried some herbal blends. It is simply not the same experience as a quality tobacco leaf, and the lack of nicotine leaves me dissatisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainUM Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 i've tried salaam and some soex. salaam blows it out of the water. salaam is the only herbal shisha i would ever buy, but it is disappointing it only comes in like 50g boxes. i wouldn't buy much salaam even if it came in 250g amounts, but i would buy a box here and there. the key lime flavor is like neon green, right? i had the wildberry flavor and it was bright blue. absolutely delicious, and it lasted around an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours, but i was smoking it alone. i would say if you really wanted to go herbal, go salaam.

nun Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 evolution tea shisha - peach. It was ok for about 10 mins, then it got harsh and gave me a buzz. No, not a buzz.... a headache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 If we're talking Herbal, we should be talking Al Baraka.. I've had the Vanilla and it is super smooth with more then decent clouds ( I use 2 3 Kings on a small mini hookah). I am going to purchase more and some other flavors when I visit my local tobacconist because it's fairly cheap here. I have not heard good things about Soex Herbal so I cannot compare it to the others. All I can say is, pick some up for yourself you won't be disappointed.
