Smartpatrol Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Was first introduced to Hookah smoking in Kuwait and recently picked it back up. My wife and i have been trying to find i nice brand of shisha to smoke on a regular basis. We have tried romman(not impressed), and Al-Waha which we relly like. We took it on good advice that Al-Fakher was the best shisa you can buy so we bought a 50g pack of double apple. It truly was a very good albet short smoke until the apple went away and strong anise flavor came through! YUCK! My question is do all the Al-Fakher flavors contain anise? I really would like a nice apple blend to smoke on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndsudma Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If you search for "double apple" here, you'll see that flavor has a love/hate relationship with a lot of people. And no, all Al-Fakher flavors don't contain anise. I'm very fond of the AF mint. I think either the single or "golden" apple flavors would be more toward what you're looking for.Personally, I have a big 250g tub of Al-Amir Double Apple that I need to do.....something....with.

joetuo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 No not all flavors, just the double apple. Most brands double apple usually contain anise. I would suggest going with just a straight apple and if you want an apple blend maybe an Al-Fakher apple and Al-Waha apple and mix them together.Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glottis Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 AF Cola is one of my favorite tobaccos ever. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I really enjoy AF, it's a great brand. Just stay away from double apple if you want to avoid anise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukasa Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 All double apple flavors have anise flavor. However it strikes me as weird that it started off apply and then turned anise-crazy on you. usually its a steady flavor of apples+anise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I love my double apples, and the anise usually isn't as strong at the start, and picks up as the bowl goes along, but I don't think it has ever been as dramatic a change as you described.
