bellydancerakn Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 [size="2"][color="#000000"]So I can't find any reviews of this stuff, but I've heard good things about the flavor Apple Eskandarany. I just don't know which brand is best. So should I get Al Fakher Eskandarany or Nakhla Eskandarany? Also, what kind of apple is it?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nakhla has an Esk. Apple? This is news to me. AF Esk. Apple is great. It's a little more subtle and sophisticated than most of the other apples I've tried. But it's very good. The only apple I think is better is Romman Apple.

jezter6 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Only one vendor I know of has Nak Esk Apple. It's good, but nothing quite like AF Esk. For a cheap substitute, I like it...but it's different. Esk apple is more of a green apple. Slightly sour. good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I got a real heavy floral flavor with my AF esk apple. I had to back way off with the heat to get a straight apple flavor. Maybe it was just me but it caught me off guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepItSimple Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I just tried Nak Esk. Apple last night for the first time. I was not a fan. Its very floral in a weird way, and doesn't taste much like apple to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 AF Esk Apple Buzz: None Flavor: Really sweet and very floral. It's more of a yellow (golden delicious) apple flavor, instead of a green apple. Strong flavor. Nak Esk Apple Buzz: Heavy Flavor: Slightly sweet, a touch sour and noticeably floral. Akin to a yellow and green apple mixed. Flavor is on par with most Nakhla varieties (except the exceedingly strong flavors like cardamom or coffee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Layalina also makes a damn tasty esk. apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I think it will come down to if prefere nakhla or AF which one you will like more and yes layalina makes a pretty good apple esk also....but I think its more of a red apple candy flavor then the yellow/green apple floral flavors of the AF and nakhla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Does Layalina have any floral or anise, or is it straight apple. What is the most pure apple shisha? Sorry for the thread jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I did'nt notice any floral or anise in the layalina apple esk.(also says tripple apple on package)....kinda tastes like nak mizo apple without the anise IMO...Pretty good I will buy agin sometime...

But from what everyone is saying I'll drop the nak and go with AF. But please go on with the apple discussion, I'm from wash state lol so i love apples. Would love a good apple shisha.

bellydancerakn Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 New question. Nakhla Two Apples or AF Apple Esk? I don't care about price, just flavor. I want something that is sweet and appley with maybe just a hint of tartness? If this is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeepItSimple Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I had some F-Line Apple for Tang....i love it. It's a great version of an Apple/Anise flavor. It's only subtle in the anise, and I like that because i'm not a fan of Nak DA or any other DA that has a ton of anise in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbo21 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I might give it a shot then. Nak DA is okay at best, and AF is just terrible. I bought a 50g box of AF apple, took two or three hits from it, then immediately threw the rest of the bowl out along with the rest of my 50g box.

mushrat Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 All Esk apple have that sweet green apple/floral taste and smell as far as Ive seen. Thats what makes it Esk. apple. You'll not find anise in esk apple. Bahrani apples and double/two apples will always have anise. The layalina esk. was very popular at HB. AF single apple has a straight up, deep red apple taste.
