iamsmooth Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Hey guys. I've searched the forums for similar topics and there are plenty, but the problem is most of them use crazy acronyms and terminology that a newbie like me doesn't understand, e.g. AF ORANGE, etc. I've also looked at the vendors and I'm interested in trying Sahara Smoke Company's shisha sampler [url="http://saharasmoke.com/store/catalog/Sahara-Shisha-Sampler-p-16455.html"]http://saharasmoke.com/store/catalog/Sahara-Shisha-Sampler-p-16455.html[/url] For those four brands, what flavours would you guys recommend? Also, can someone explain the acronyms and give me some tips on where and what to buy online? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_lunchb0x Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 most acronyms are for brands/companies Af= AL Fakher and The Orange means flavor NAk=Nakhla Tang=Tangiers SB=Starbuzz mizo=Nakhla Mizo I'm sure theres plenty others i am missing as for the deal you were looking at i would pass.. You can buy 2 boxes of something decent for that price. But its always ur choice on what to smoke.

Mikefu Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) I personally would not recommend that sample pack either. The brands that I like are Nakhla and Tangiers, and if i'm feeling like a really flavorful, but expensive, goopy and artificial smoke i'll have a bowl of Starbuzz. Nakhla is the most consistent and low maintenance of any shisha, IMO. It smokes well with a loose or tight pack, and its a lot harder to burn than most. The Mizo line that nakhla makes is really tasty, I'd recommend the watermelon, guava, peach, and lemon in particular. Tangiers is the hands down best smoke I've ever had, but it can be a bit tempermental as it requires acclimation and is unforgiving if not packed properly. But it is soooooooooo good! the lucid line that tangiers makes has a lot less nicotine and is more beginner friendly. The kashmir peach and cherry are amazing, a spicy, unique flavor accompanies the fruit. i've never smoked a tangiers that wasnt good, but check the reviews section for flavors. As far as buying stuff, hookahjohn.com is a great guy and has amazing customer service, hookahset.com is hands down the lowest price and still do a great job, and hookah-shisha.com has the best selection. just check around for prices, read reviews, and experiment. My favorite part of hookah smoking is the vast selection of shisha and coals, and the almost endless combinations to try to get that "ultimate smoke". But the journey to get there is really fun!

iamsmooth Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks a lot! That really helped! Last question: what does kashmir mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikefu Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Oh. Kashmir is just a flavor that tangiers makes. It is available on it's own or mixed with cherry, apple, peach, and in a couple other blends. It tastes exotic, with patchouli, sandalwood, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom that I can discern. Basically it tastes like a hippie smells I find it to be amazing, and Kashmir cherry is probably my favorite flavor, if I were to commit to a favorite.

Made my purchase with Hookah Set. It was a pretty good deal compared to what I've been looking at. Appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
