Tucker Lee Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I was planning on buying a bunch of shots, just so I could try a bunch of new flavors. What are some suggestions? I have tried mint cream, lemon, coffee, pomegranate, raspberry, cherry and orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydancerakn Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 PEACH!!!!!! I'm sorry I really really love peach. Also, apple is good, but (maybe it was just a bad batch I got) it is a more subtle flavor so you have to wait awhile until the flavor somes into itself.

[/quote] for realz, the few i got from a trade with another forum member on here came with the tangiers i wanted, and seriously the hh crap balls up in the shots, it looks disgusting, taste disgusting and even smokes disgustingly(is that a word?) anyways get some 50g packs of different tobaccos like al fakher, nakhla, layalina just to name a few i enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU Smoker Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 yeah by shots do you mean HH shots? id stay away from them since HH is the devil and the shots are way overpriced. Just buy some 50g packs from online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Lee Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 To be honest I am a fairly new smoker (about a month, but my own hooka only a week) so I am still reading up on all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'd say get a 500g pack of AF from Hookahjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU Smoker Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) if your a new smoker just get 50g packs of a bunch of flavors...id go with AF, AW, or Nak...all are pretty easy to get to smoke. Once you find flavors you like a lot buy 250g of them. I know southsmoke.com usually have some decent deals on tobacco...check out anything that is on sale and they usually also have a Buy X 50 grams get Y 50 grams free, or something of the sort just checked AF is still buy 5 get 2 free (7boxes) 10 get 5 free (15) and 25 get 15 (40)...with only buying 7 you only pay $2 per 50g (plus shipping) Edited March 22, 2010 by PSU Smoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Lee Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 I went with 3 50g's of Deja Vu. I got Peach, Coffee and Lemonade. Peach was a little flavorless, Coffee was... really.. strong, Lemonade was pretty good. Had a nice tangy flavor, but not to much lemon taste.

brigita Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Here's another vote for AF! It's the first (and only... except a few unfortunate encounters with HH shots) shisha I've tried since I've been setting up my own hookah. It's good for noobs, I would say. The flavors I got were grape, pineapple, lemon mint, apple (gag), strawberry, watermelon, and vanilla. I may have gotten some others but I can't recall. Vanilla is probably my favorite out of the limited number of flavors I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My first time buying HH shot, I got raspberry. I almost cried. The worst money/hookah related decision I have ever made. It looks like damp purple grass, and tastes like it too. And I'm pretty tolerant on most shishas, I'll smoke below-par shisha if I'm running low as to not waste.. But Jesus. This stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahl071 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm not a fan of DA. Anise FTL. If you have some spare cash, I'd say go with what they've said, and also get a 100g tin of Starbuzz Tangerine Dream. It's really forgiving for noobs, and tastes amazing.

thatonethere Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Af Vanilla Af Gold Strawberry Nahkla Mizo flavours: Watermelon Lemon Mint (Warning! it is a strong smoke. A little goes a long way as a mixer) Orange Peach Guava Grape (if you like grape flavor candy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Flavors to try: Nahkla - Sweet Melon Tangiers - Kashmir Peach These 2 are by far my favorite staples. Everything else I just rotate in, but I always try to have these 2 on stock. I'm not a fan of AF, shit is too inconsistent. And too much of a chemical taste for me.
