Favorite tobacco brand?

[nasirjonesether]

I know I've been asking a lot of questions, I'm just relatively new to this. I'm just curious as to what you're favorite tobacco brand is and what the difference is, if any? I want to get either Al Amir, Al Fakher, Havana, or Hooka-Hooka. Any suggestions?

[Glottis]

Mine would be Al Amir. Sweet flavors, thick smoke, and virtually no buzz. They also have lots of options.

[Anpu]

I guess this is 'different' enough from other threads... myself, I like Starbuzz the best... out of your list, Havana would have to come in first since I can never get a good smoke out of Al Fakher even at the lounges that serve it.

[Scalliwag]

Nahkla. Although just judging by the smell alone Starbuzz smells better. I will find out tonite the answer to that though. I REALLLY want to try Tangiers though. No locals have it though

[aronparsons]

Fumari and Tangiers for me. Tangiers has to take a back seat sometimes because of the buzz (i.e. smoking while trying to do something, it doesn't work for me with a buzz).

[nuschultz]

I like Fumari quite a bit. I think their flavors are all pretty good. I smoked Hookah Hookah when I first started. I liked it quite a bit, but it is a very very fine cut.

I've always liked Layalina. Nice and managable, and the flavor is always there. I also find very few stems most of the time. I guess out of the list I would choose havana.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get Al Amir or Hooka Hooka?

Al Amir for me.. can take a decent amount of heat (don't have to fret too much about coal management), good flavor

[cymptom]

It's really not the best idea to commit yourself to one brand. Some brands are preferable over others depending on what flavor you want to smoke and the circumstance (are you/your group in the mood for a heavier smoke with a bit of a buzz? a lighter smoke you can keep puffing forever without feeling sick?) I try to keep a wide range available, but usually stick to Al Fakher, Tangiers and Nakhla. I haven't had much Al Amir but I'm gonna be trying that soon...

[EvansLight]

Al Waha and Nakhala currently tied for me. I like the buzz and flavour of both, and they both taste great. Still have yet to try tangiers, or starbuzz though, so only time will tell

[ioannisds]

I find Al Amir to be the most well-rounded out of the brands you have listed. Good smoke, good flavor (their caramel apple is one of my favorite smokes), and reasonable in price. I like Havana and AF too, but their flavors have been hit or miss for me. I can't think of a single Al Amir flavor that I didn't enjoy, at least a little bit. Unless there's a butt flavor out there I don't know about.

[xpimpitox]

al amir, al waha, fumari and tangiers. the only let down in al amir was strawberry virtually no flavor but the smoke was super thick. al waha everyone i tried has been real good same with fumari (passion fruit is heaven) and tangiers (watermelon taste like bubblelicious yummy). im still exploring flavors and brands thats the best way to do if ur budget permits and try and find your fave. ohh nakhla has the best double apple hands down!!!

[b1m9x]

Nakhla and Al Fakher, i like rommans smoke but i just can't find a flavour that i love from them.

[web250]

I like Al Fakher, and Havana.I think they both give plenty of amounts of smoke and flavor.

[nasirjonesether]

Is there anywhere in the Long Island area I can get all these different brands? The only things in my area are Hookah Hookah and El Basha.

There's gotta be places in NYC if you're close to that.

[mushrat]

Depends on the flavour.Tangiers is a class unto itself. Never had a bad flavour, but you gots to have balls to smoke it... Al Amir: I really like the blackberry,lemon, pomegranet,peach,and now I've got orange and its quite good (see my review thread). I wasn't fond of the Caramel apple, was indifferent toward the grape. Oh i liked the Raspberry and their 2 apple is good, milder anise than Nakhla.HH: The apple is unremarkable, the orange is the closest to smoking orange juice i have ever found. I'll have to check my reviews for more on hh, I've smoked a LOT of different stuff.Al Fakher: Golden Esk apple, melon, lemon. all good. The orange was eh.then again, you may not like what *I* like...so my opinions are worthless

[brettK]

starbuzz most expensive but i love it.

[mushrat]

Ahh..starbuzz...Social smoke blend, orange,bberrymint, raspberry, lemon, excellent....to many of the others..not so good...They have some EXCELLENT flavours..and some real dogs...

[zombiedepot]

I smoke a lot of Al Waha and Romman.

[nasirjonesether]

Cheapest place to buy Starbuzz? I really want to try this but it's really expensive. Anyone know where I can get a good discount or price on it?

[Bleeding_Heart1]

My favorite brand is probably nakhla or Al amir

[PersianPride]

I have only tried about 4 brands however my personally opinion of nakla is very low. It seems to be very heavy in terms of anise which tends to give me a headache if I smoke too much.

[Tessai]

I'm gonna list my favorite smokes in order:1.Fumari White peach2.Tagier's Kashmir peach/apple3.Starbuzz MangoI dont smoke much of anything else nowadays really so I just buy the tobacco in the 250 gram package deals and keep alot of it onhand.
