King Mo Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hi, in a few places, I've had cherry that is really tasty and sweet, like the cherry you'd have in a dessert. Can't find a nice sweet one though, has anyone tried a very sweet cherry they would like to recommend. I've had nakhla, fakher, romman which are not the particular taste I'm looking for. any ideas from my fellow shishaholics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Mo, I have never tried their cherry, but you may not be too terribly wrong for trying Al Amir. I know a lot of their flavors are really puched up. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted October 25, 2004 Author Share Posted October 25, 2004 al amir gets mixed reviews, but i will try some of their stuff in my next order. Only problem is that I haven't seen any 50g packs of them, and am apprehensive. What's their apple like, is that sweet? I want a sweet apple and a sweet cherry the two brands that I want to try are Amir and Fumari so perhaps they have some flavours i am looking for. anyone know if amir do 50 g packs?? it's not the price i'm worried about, but the actual weight and size of the thing, which affects postage.

Gamaliel Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 The only 2 flavors worth trying from Fumari is white peach<one of my favorites>and watermelon,which is very good.I usually dislike watermelon candies but this watermelon is very good for a change of pace.The white peach I can smoke everyday and not get tired of it,the watermelon is more of a change of pace flavor.I havent tried the other Fumari flavors but I've heard from several sources that the other flavors bite big time.This is not a knock against Fumari,each company has it's hit and misses.I will say the cut of the tobacco is very nice,not too much lumber and the 2 flavors I've tried didn't taste artifical.Nose hits were nice,tho my girlfriend who is also into massel looks at me funny when I do em,LOL.

ZooJohnnyZETA Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I tend to think that Al-Waha has a nice sweet tasting Cherry flavor. It lacks a bit in the nicotine department but most batches have a wonderfully strong Black Cherry flavor to them that is great by itself and goes well with almost anything else you would enjoy mixing it with. Al-Waha is similar to Nakhla in the fact that they dont do many flavors well, but the flavors that they do well always seem to satisfy my taste buds. Those flavors being Cherry, Honey, Cola, Rose, and 5 Star mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 I'm getting a MAJOR buzz from my 3rd Cuban cigar right now I've been smoking anything I could get my hands on for the last couple days in anticipation for the HUGE shisha orders I've got coming today. I'm so sick of smoking Nakhla. These brands I ordered are going to be MY nirvana I ran a Google search and couldn't find anyone that sold Al-Amir in 50g sample packs. But, if you really want to try Fumari, later this week they're supposed to be getting in a supply of White Peach and Chocolate-Mint. Their other flavors SUCK royally, but the Chocolate-Mint has me intrigued. It's one of those flavors, like White Peach, that doesn't stay in-stock for very long. So keep checking Fumari's site or call them for an update on when they'll be getting in those supplies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCheese Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I'm smoking the Nakhla Cherry as I type, and I suspect that I won't be capable of driving for a little while due to the intense buzz.....whooooo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stuff i got is a bad batch or something because it is not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCheese Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I didn't get any "tree bark" or "cologne," but I'll admit that the cherry smell was initially reminiscent of cough syrup. Flavor-wise, I found it quite pleasant and sweet. Mind you, I'm relatively new to hookahs and have little experience outside the Nakhla line, mostly because that's the predominant brand represented at any of the local shops. You say yours is not good at all, which makes me wonder if indeed you did get a bad batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrailsgalore Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Al Waha cherry was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 ah, forgot to say i tried al waha too, it was surprisingly similar to romman (believe it or not ) got fumari comin soon, so will see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I found Al Waha Cherry to taste like cardboard. I experimented by getting a 50 gr sample of Romann and found it quite a bit sweeter with little cardboard taste. However MRS Bubble and I just like the Nakhla cherry better. It seems sweeter and has this weird "bite" in the back of the throat kind of like a mouthful of real cherries sometimes stings the throat.

Craig Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hey King Mo...(I know this post is a little old, but I remebering reading it) Did you Ever find a Cherry you like?? If you would like to try some Al-Fakher I could send you some(Might take a while to get there from the US??) I got 250G jar of it, I think it is OK, but I might be missing the flavor(Maybe packing bowl wrong or something ). I won't use it all for a while, So I can send some (30g - 40g) your way if you would like to try?(Free of charge). But the catch is you have to tell me what you think, if the flavor is weak or not?? PM me if you want? -Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 hiya craig, thanks for the offer, but I have had a hell of a lot of fakher cherry over the past couple of years . It's a nice flavour, but not quite the cherry I'm looking for. It has a slight floral flavour to it and tends to lose it's flavour quicker than many of the other fakhers. Mixes well with apple as well, but a decent smoke on its own. Incidentally I got al amir cherry coming through the post, so will have to review that when it comes. Shipments may be delayed cos of xmas rush, but expect a few reviews soon if the postman is quick . I don't like floral flavours, I prefer sweet stuff, so am looking for a sweet cherry. Perhaps the Amir will be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknewmroctopus Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I've had fumari black cherry. Its a really good flavor, but it does taste a little like cough syrup. Needless to say I finished the 50g I bought in under 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 hmm, the fumari cherry I had, (it was called cherry bomb, don't know if your 'black cherry' is different) was a completely flavourless smoke. wasn't impressed. I rather liked the romman cherry which was nice, but didn't have the sweetness I was looking for. One time I had some cheap syrian cherry tobacco which was rather nice, but i have no idea where that particular cafe got theirs from. Will see how al amir is when I get it.

King Mo Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 one thing about the fumari cherry bomb, the smoke is almost of fakher standard in richness and density the flavour is incredibly weak though. You'll need an ultra clean shisha to taste it, as it is so weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
