Chreees Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Dan- Nak Cola is great! I really like it. I highly recommend you pick it up. I'm about to smoke Nak guavamelon mix for the first time in about a year here in a couple hours. So excited! I also got Sweet Melon, which is another longtime favorite of mine that has been much too neglected... I think my Elmas bowl is getting me back into Nakhla.

navy876 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 I just ordered Nakhla Sweet-melon yesterday. If I find Nakhla to be good, will try peach,DA,Guava, and Maybe Mango. Coconut sounds great though. Not many people seem to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Nakhla "clementine" also known as Mandarin is a great flavour. As is the Sweet melon and DA. Its really hard to burn Nakhla, but i've seen people manage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 [quote name='navy876' timestamp='1331261011' post='541867'] [quote name='Rani' timestamp='1331226972' post='541812'] I love original Nakhla for it's subtlety. It's not an "in your face" candy taste that so many modern hookah tobaccos seem to have these days. I'm crazy about their El Basha Caramel. Go through a kilo a month. And their original Sweet Melon? If I have a bowl going with guests in the house I can't get rid of them until the bowl is long dead. They just keep coming back for more. Earl Grey is too strong for me too, but I'm thinking it could be a decent add to flavor up other things. I find Nakhla's fruit flavors lacking a bit, and I've just never been crazy about the Mizo line for some reason. I primarily pack tight in an Egyptian, but when in a hurry it does just fine with it thrown in there any old way too. As far as buzz is concerned, nothing buzzes me anymore, not Tangiers Noir, not Nakhla, not even smoking dokha. Too tolerant. Which I don't mind at all, because I never did smoke for buzz so it's kinda cool that I don't have to be circumspect about picking whatever to smoke. 'Rani [/quote]I heard that most Nakhla flavors are more smoother then most Brands. But I for one, cant wait to smoke some! I just ordered some Sweet Melon. XD [/quote] You will absolutely love Sweet Melon, I can almost guarantee it. It's almost identical to the taste of biting into a cantalope. And for whatever reason, the flavor is really, really stable throughout the bowl. The last puff is as perfect as the first. It's just one of those iconic flavors. And yes, Nakhla is to me very smooth. 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A13lackFish Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Nakhla has never failed me. Likely out of all brands it is my utter favorite. I will warn you though since I know your a Starbuzz fan that Nakhla has a higher nicotine level and you will likely get light headed the first time you give it a go.

navy876 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Rani I took your word! Sweet Melon is now a waiting on my Shisha to Smoke. Gosh I cant wait for it to come. Haha. I want to get Nakhla because I know it makes you feel good. I just hope because of the higher nicotine levels, I dont get addicted to it. But I doubt it will happen. With Nakhla being best smoked in an Egyptian bowl, I hear the more variety of Flavors you do smoke in your Hookah, overtimes it takes a tole on your stem. Flavor at-least.

joytron Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have found most Nakhla flavors to be underwhelming. Aside from sweet melon and guava, which are both perfect and so far beyond any melon or tropical fruit flavor (respectively), I was pretty disappointed with everything I have tried in their line. DA tastes like wax and anise (Af golden bahraini apple is a better version) Mint has a very earthy dirty flavor and is almost unsmokeable (Tangiers Cane mint and AF mint are both better) Mandarin tastes like chalky pex candies (AF orange, SB orange or tangerine, and even Tangiers orange soda are an improvement) One of their coffee flavors I had was pretty much unbearable (unfortunately there are not really any alternatives I have tried) Cinnamon and mizo peach was okay but there are def. better alternatives as well. Watermelon was nothing to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Nakhla is wonderful. It's great as a side-dish, can cure the common cold, can clear up your skin, is a very good shampoo replacement, makes plants grow bigger, and as rumor has it, can even be smoked. Yeah, I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ya'all hve to remember, Nakhla started it all with fruit flavours somewhere around 1986 if i remember what i read. They were the pioneers for all the other brands that came later. Most of their stuff im not fond of, but the ones i mentioned earlier are the exception. They were a little slow on the uptake about improving their line, but they eventually got around to Mizo, the Scheherazade, and now the new stuff.
