Trying To Decide On Some Good Shisha Flavors

[Coleman]

Im a guy who likes strong flavored fruity shisha. Im not sure which flavor would be a good purchase, and worth it i have heard good things about tangiers flavors but i have heard lots about all the flavors. If you guys could help me to choose some good flavors that would be great.

what have you smoked so far and what do you like (flavor, brand, natural or washed tobacco).

I personally prefer washed tobacco over unwashed. Many forum members here seem to like unwashed (hence a lot of discussion regarding Tangiers, Naklha etc). Also, each brand of tobacco have their own specialties. Some examples are Starbuzz Blue Mist, X on the Beach and Tangerine Dream. Al Fakher's watermelon is better than Starbuzz/Fantasia/Fumari. Fantasia has the best mint (Wild Mint). etc. Best thing to do is browse the reviews section and go from there.

Orange Soda
Juicy Peach
Summer Solstice
Blue Gum Ball


These are all nice and fruity. Blue Gum Ball a little less than the others, but it's still a very sweet, delicious flavor.

Im not sure of all hte names but i know ive smoked Apple, Pear, and Al Fakher Double Apple, and i got to say the Al Fakher had a strong taste to it, and i got a nice buzz offf of it. I cant say much abput pear and apple cause that day we didnt have any good coals....(i had never smoked before and we used barbeque coals im pretty sure thats why everything tasted awful that day, dumb idea on friends part though)

I also recently tried a flavor not sure what it was but i think it was a fruit punch and the Flavor was amazingly strong, it was so strong i might as well have been drinking that flavored drink.... I really wish i new for sure what flavor it was

[Arcane]

if you want super fruity flavors...with good flavor strength:

Fusion Mandarin
Tangiers Lucid Breakfast Cereal
Tangiers Lucid Melon
Tangiers Lucid Orange Soda
Tangiers Lucid Cactus Fruit
Tangiers Lucid Tasty Peach
Tangiers Lucid Maraschino Cherry

i didn't want to recommend Nakhla or Tangiers Noir since you got a buzz off of AF....the unwashed brands may lay you out for days...haha!

I think that is a big no no... the only thing that bbq coals are good for is... um... bbq

[Hookah_510]

NEVER USE BBQ COALS ON A HOOKAH.

More than likely that was the issue with horrible tasting. AF is one of the best bang for the buck shisha. If you like AF, you may want to try some Fantasia (Wild Mango, Triple Apple, Apple Martini, AMF, [b]Blueberry[/b]), Fumari (I only like their Tropical Punch) and Romman. Starbuzz has few unique flavors that are tasty.

I find that El Nakhla Mandarin Orange has a really strong orange flavor.

^^^oh man...I havent tried 99% of those...sigh

[jorlyfish]

Some fruits I like:

Fantasia Cupid's Arrow (kind of a watermelon/strawberry, candyish flavor... not super fruity but sweet and good) - I always get pretty good clouds with Fantasia too, which I like.
Fantasia Cactus Breeze is one of my fiance's faves - a fruit mix, neither of us can remember exactly what's in it but its kind of a tropical fruit mix? Pineappley orangey?
(review of both of these here: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/6707-fantasia-review/page__st__120 --- I agree more with Stuie's review of Cupid's than joytron's, but you'll have to decide for yourself I suppose )
I hear good things about Fantasia Blueberry too. Haven't tried it myself, but it's coming in my next H-S order

Al Fahker Orange I've only had once, at a lounge. It had more of an orange rind-y taste to me, so its fruity but not sweet... but that could have been setup/heat management (which I wasn't allowed to do :/ ) by the lounge and not the shisha itself.
