For Those Who Dislike Al-Waha

[baumann]

[size=2]Al-Waha tobacco has always been a hell of a deal in local smokeshops for me. We're talking around 2 bucks for 50g. That always blew the morewell-known brands out of the water for me, but I still decided to spend more onsome Romman or AF because I could confidently make a great session for buddies.I recently started making my own tiny phunnels out of egyptian bowls and makingan island thing with foil, and a few days ago I decided to buy some Al-WahaOrange Cream and Turkish Coffee. I'm sitting here smoking the Turkish Coffeeright now and I can say that I've never felt like my money was better spent ontobacco. I've tried AW in a regular phunnel as well, but I just don't feel likeI'm getting the bang for my buck unless I'm smoking with lots of people (too much tobacco). If youhaven't already, try packing this stuff loosely in any phunnel by sprinkling itto the rim, then use a fork or your finger to lightly push the tobacco belowthe rim. Poke plenty of very small holes, not large ones. It is smoking greatright now with flavor like a real cup of black coffee and thiiick smoke. Greatstuff. Two thumbs up![/size]

Good word. I like the orange cream a lot, and the turk. coffee isnt too shabby either. I also like the fig. It certainly is a good deal for a good smoke.

i just haven't found any al waha locally, so i haven't smoked it

[joytron]

al waha might be my most hated brand.

[hookah hippie]

I used to smoke nothing but al waha for a number of years the stuff is very good

i just bought a bunch of fig, and their gum is a good flavor too. its a great deal for $5 for a 250g tub.

[Dereksd]

im gonna second ntur on here and say gum is a great flavor.its the only al waha i can really stand and its mainly because like he said hookah-shisha sells it for 5 bucks for a 250

[IainUM]

why is al waha hated by many?

[king_lunchb0x]

well few years ago it was very popular, you check old posts on here from 07'ish theres nothing but nak and alwaha. Personally i think its i decent shisha. Like the others said thats a super good price..ive only had a few flavors but both were pretty good and smoked well. i will be ordering more soon

[JOE]

i would agree with you, It isn't very popular right now, for the price and quality. it is a nice traditional shisha. im smokin peach right now!

[TonyTheCigarSmoker]

I find that for me the Al-Waha does well in the more savory flavors, and the flavors they make that I like, I like a lot.

I will not order their "winter flower" or coconut again. But I haven't found a good coconut anywhere.

Their coffee flavor is one of my favorites, and gives a pretty good buzz compared to many other things.

[porksandwich9113]

It's a super decent shisha at a super amazing price.

I think al-amir is hated more. I would like to try al-waha powerbull though, gum wasn't bad.

[mustafabey]

being budget conscious these days I smoke quite a bit of al Waha. One of the vendors had a deal 1.75 for 50 gr, Not bad i stocked up, actually am quite fond of winter flower

[RingsMaster]

ive smoked tons of al waha just dont like it anymore, not that its bad just doesnt appease me as much as it used too

A lot of people like candy flavored (modern style) tobacco these days. Al Waha is like Nakhla or Tangiers in that it's old school style. It's TOBACCO with some additional flavoring, not flavoring with some additional tobacco. I tend to prefer the old school style stuff, so I like it. There's a subtlety to these old style tobaccos that the modern stuff completely misses. Occasionally I will light up a bowl of Fusion or Starbuzz if I'm looking for a quick bowl of saturated candy (much like grabbing a candy bar), but for a real smoking experience with all the smooth subtle flavors it's old school every time.

Powerbull is GREAT! In the hookah lounge, the taste was LIKE redbull! It got me surprised! So I bought it, to smoke it with a friend who owns a handmade egyptian hookah.

But his whole hookah sucks, so It wasn't that good at home

[dizzbizz]

I actually juts got finished with a bowl of AW strawberry. I got a 50g for free and I like it. It has a nice punch, with a subtle flavor. But I do enjoy AF more. I like the stronger flavors.

[jeremyk]

al waha orange cream is really good. i think al waha is an ok brand and for the price its great lol

[Epoch]

Al-Waha makes the best Barhaini Apple in my opinion. I smoke lots of Al-Waha when my budget gets tight.

[Matto]

I've went through quite a bit of Al-Waha lately, like most people have been saying it's amazing quality for the price. You can get twice as much per dollar vs just about any other brand. Their nectarine flavor is great, as well as gum.

[Venger]

Al-Waha is the missing link between Nakhla and Af. nice punch,juicy but not dripping. Good selection of flavors.

Its not terrible but its just not my "go to" shisha.

[TweakX4]

one of my most common smokes is 2/3 al waha guava 1/3 nak cardamom. little buzz from the nak, and the guava really smooths it out.
