evilded777 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hey fellas and ladies... its been a while. Good to see you all and all the new faces Still smoking, if not contributing so much anymore. Got a question for you all. Anyone know if Al Waha changed their Winter Flower flavor? I bought a jar several months back, enjoyed the hell out of it. Went back for more... and got something totally different. The first jar i got was colored a deep red, almost purple... like a rose; it tasted exactly like the flavor is described: sweet rose (does Al Waha actually make anything besides their Orange that ISN"T sweet?). Second jar I got was golden yellow in color and smelled of ANISE (bah, feh, puke). Hook-Shisha was kind enough to credit me the cost of the shisha, both of us assuming it was a bad jar. Next order, I STILL want that Winter Flower... so I order it again. WTF, same yellow licorice smelling stuff as the last time! So I got three possibilites I can think of here: the FIRST jar was actually mislabelled and it wasn't Winter Flower I liked or I got TWO mislabeled jars (odds?) or they changed the flavor. Anyone have a clue? Or ever smoked the Winter Flower and can corrborate any of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorlyfish Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I had Winter Flower a little under a year ago (maybe 9-10 months) and it was, like you said, a sweet rose flavor with a reddish color. It wasn't my fave so I haven't had it since, but I can at least confirm that is what it used to be, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I always have a tub of it on hand, and every time I get it it's dark brown to red in color, and always smells like rose. Also, I always order it from Hookah-Shisha, so I have no idea what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't opened the new one (well, haven't opened the inner packaging), but the last one... smelled wrong right away and when I compared it to the dregs of the first batch the color difference was immediately noticable. Oh... and props to HS customer service... they are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
