Jesse Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Al Baraka is great.. lots of taste, consistent smoke, variety of flavors. i buy it here in South Africa and a box costs me the equivalent of about $5. I have yet to be disappointed with the brand and their Vanilla is delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Saalaam, Hydro and El Rosha are good I just picked up a couple I need to try Beamer, Tanya and something else turkish. High-Life, Soex, Evolution and Black Label skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the info guys.. [/quote] it all depends, you could pack a 5 gram bowl that does not smoke nicely and doesn't last long, resulting in low clientele or you could do a more reasonable 15 g bowl that would smoke nicely for a little while or you could go all out, get a large bowl pack 25 g in there and make everyone happy. I would choose the latter. Theres a lounge right near me but they pack thier bowls lightly and you get one coal, the smoke is whispy and I don't go there for the hookah anymore. I go because they also have over 500 types of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Saalaam was good. Try the tamarind. Hydro Herbal tasted like lawn clippings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, It's more up to the bowl size you have, you don't want to use 10g in a bowl designed to hold 20, it just wont smoke right. If you have a 10g bowl and load it with 10g you'll be fine. For me, The lounge near me I mentioned uses Mya hookahs with mod bowls. Mod bowls can hold a pretty good ammount of shisha and they can smoke pretty good but they're not very traditional. If they were using a small mya bowl they could use the same ammount of tobacco they use in the mod bowl and have it smoke way better. Mya bowls are deeper but have a smaller circumfrence. Remember, they only give you one coal. Totally lame. At the same time though the majority of the people that go there probably don't have the same hookah knowledge base as me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming to be an expert but I do know my way around a pipe whereas I would imagine the majority of repeat customers of thiers may not. My point is, 10g will be fine in a 10g bowl heated appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
