KeepItSimple Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm hearing things about good batches and bad batches of Nak and AF. Whats the deal with this? This has me double guessing some flavors i've tried that other people love on here and I couldn't possibly understand why. Maybe I got a bad batch, who knows.... Thanks in advance for the input.

Hookah_510 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd like to know as well. 6 months ago my AF cocktail was awesome. When I ran out 2 weeks ago, I ordered another. Now this tub tastes bland and lacks flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I've just been careful with picking flavors and only buying the small containers. I bought a tub of AF vanilla not too long ago and the exp. date on the lid was already past. But i blame that on the tobacco store i went to. I'd say just be careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whats a KM? Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 ive never had a bad batch of nakhla, af on the other hand, o my. i used to have cinnamon, and watermelon as staples in my stash. always bought kilos, then one order both became extremely spicy, and super tempermental. now i only buy really strong flavors in kilo sizes like rose jasmine and mint, and when i want those other flavors that seem to be a bit more unreliable i buy 250s instead.

nars2k Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Al Fakher has not been very consistent lately with their batches. Nakhla on the other hand, I have never had a bad batch from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for the input. [/quote] I have only had bad batches of shisha from Fantasia. One time I bought Cosmopolitan and I swear it was Strawberry Lemonade. I know Cosmopolitan has some strawberry/lemon to the flavor but this was spot-on to Strawberry Lemonade because once it burnt up it started tasting soapy. Then one time I bought a 50 gram box of Strawberry Banana Split and it was so good. I couldn't believe how perfect the balance of banana and strawberry was so I went to buy a 200 gram jar and I am saying I got a bad batch. You couldn't taste the banana's and the rest just tasted like sour fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeDave Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I've noticed AF tends to be alot more consistant that Nak. I actually bought two boxed of nakhla mango, and noticed it first hand. My first box had tow strands of long black hair in it, and the corner of the bag was filled with about 2g of stems. (????) The second box, not only was juicier than any nakhla I had ever purchased, but was delicious! I gave the hairy box to my friend, and he didn't smoke it for more than a few days, as the taste was either burnt to a crisp, or non existant. Again, alot fo these scenarios can be blamed on the tobacco distributor, considering everyone around my are can't give to sh*ts about shisha. But makes me wonder, why the consistant [i]in[/i]consistancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeDave Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Again, I seem to be the only one finding difficulty with nakhla. I do believe it's the location i buy it from. Exiration dates tend to be honered, but very rarely would I use my local store for my authoritative scource. May i say though, I still love nakhla all the same when I get a nice flavorful batch (2APPLES = [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wub.gif[/img] ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
