ghostofdavid Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Nakhla Banana [b]Setup:[/b]One Hookah-Shisha.com purchased Mya Saray QT with two hose adapter. Two people smoking out of this, for about 40 minutes. Mya standard deep bowl. One Mya Hose and One Hookah-shisha.com washable plastic hose. [b]Cut:[/b] Very fine strips of tobacco. Sticky. Not overly wet. [b]Smell:[/b] Ever had any Banana flavoured Laffy Taffy? This is spot on, as my British friend would say.[b]Smoke:[/b] Extremely thick. As far as I know, Nakhla produces the thickest smoke I've seen yet.[b]Taste: [/b] If you are into artificial banana flavouring, you will love this. It was enjoyable and a cheap smoke. [b]Duration:[/b] 45 Minutes with 2 3Kings Coals. [b]Overall Impression and Rating:[/b] I have not smoked Nakhla since a few years ago. When I saw it at the local grocery store for 5.99, I was a little hesitant to get it because Nakhla seems to be on the lower end of shishas I have experienced it. However, I think this flavour is worth trying out. I think I understand what Tangiers means when he says that Banana flavouring is hard to replicate because so much of it comes from the texture of the fruit. Artifical banana was developed into almost a completely different flavour, so don't go expecting a real banana flavour with this shisha.4 out of 5. A real bang for your buck!

I've never been a fan of nakhla in my whole smoking career, but this one is actually really good. Has a cantelopey, honeydewey, meloney flavorDuration: 1hr (that's just generally how long I go before getting tired of inhaling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Nakhla BananaHookah: OG Tri-metalBowl: small phunnelScreen/Foil: HD ReynoldsHose: Homemade vinyl tubeCoals: CocosBase Liquid: WaterAppearance: Very gooey, not drippy, not dry.Nicotine: .5%Base: Corn Syrup/GlycSmell: banana runtsTaste: banana runtsSmoke: AwesomeBuzz: Typical Nakhla buzzDuration: 1.5 hoursPurchased From: Local Arab MarketOverall: 7.5/10 I like it, but it is artificial banana flavor, just like banana runts. So it gets sickening after about 45 min. I imagine mixing this with mango, peach, coconut, or strawberry would tone down that banana runt flavor and mix really well.

The taste was just sweet smoke and did not give me a noticeable flavor at all other than sweet. In fact the flavor was so unnoticeable I actually tasted my charcoals through the smoke which never happens with coconaras. The buzz was very mild which was surprising for it not being Mizo or Basha. Good clouds though... Not impressed and will not buy again. [/color][/font][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I don't know what the heck I was doing in the past with this flavor (Was probably overheating it), but I recently picked it up again to give it another go, and I like it much more than my previous review. It isn't so much of a runt flavor, it actually tastes like banana bread to me on the second go round with it. It is extremely delightful, not too heavy and not too light. Not very artificial, and extremely smooth. This is a great flavor and my updated review is a 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
