Al Waha reviews

I wrote this a while ago while unable to post it, so not all of may be correct or relevant at this time...still, I thought I'd share.
Hey people, sorry I’m late. I’ve been absent for a while and so there is no contribution to the almighty Hookah Tome that’s being developed around here on my part. You know how life gets in the way sometimes. Also, I’ve been having trouble logging in for a while, but if you can read this, that has obviously been sorted out.

Interesting.I completely disagree.I just smoked a bowl of Waha Peach and was rather impressed with the flavor and smoke density.  I have found that Waha does much better in terms of smoke when you have ice cold water in the base.  It is also a bit finnicky with heat management.  But maybe thats me being biased against Nakhla, which I am not a fan of at all.

Lately I've seen people stressing the fact that with proper heat management you can get thick smoke out of ANY tobacco. I guess that's probably true, but it's definitely easier with some brands than it is with others. I don't think I've ever been able to get Tangiers to smoke quite as thick as Al Fakher or Layalina (while still being tolerable, that is) As for Al Waha, I haven't had any in a while but I'm pretty sure I was able to get some decently thick smoke out of it. After Nine is nice

I agree with that idea, although I think that in order to get some tobaccos to that point, you have to have unbelievable patience. You'd just have to slowly build up the heat for a long time, which might not be worth it.

I believe he is referring to the foundation's character...each tobacco is made in a certain way and it has its own "character" that underlies all flavors from the same manufacturer. If you are very used to one brand and switch to another brand you might find you don't like the character of the foundation. In the case of Al Waha, they use honey, one of the few that doies and honey, I agree has a distinctive undernote.
