dirtysamurai Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 [b]Nakhla Tropicana[/b] Set up - Mya QT with Mya egyptian head. Coals - 1 33mm Three Kings coal Cut - Usual Nakhla cut. Very small tobacco, a medium moistness. Smell - At first it smells like grapefruit (sort of...), but after having the package open for a while, it starts to smell like my Nakhla Melon - like straight up ass. Taste - Ever eaten a real grapefruit? It's really tart/sour. Throughout my session, I kept thinking that this grapefruit needs more sugar. Very realistic taste. Smoke thickness - very thick with a full 33mm Three Kings coal. Died off after about an hour. Still smoking fine, though. Buzz - No buzz. I think I'm too used to the high nicotine percentage of Al Waha. Duration - well...I'm at a little past 1 hour and it's still going. This is with the Mya bowl. Overall - 8/10. Very realistic taste. The smell of just the tobacco is horrible after about 10 minutes, but the smell while smoking is like a real grapefruit, with a little tobacco smell. Overall great.

lazria Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nahkla TropicaniaShisha Cut: typical nahkla; course and oil, dark brown in color.Hookah Type: 22" Eypgtian w/ standard clay bowl and foilCoal: 2" dinamite natural coal fingerSmoke: thickBuzz: heavyTime: 15 min (before I stopped)Smell: Smell was strong; overly fruity and heavy on the citrus. Taste: Taste was gross; sickenly sweet taste, mix-mash of fruit and lemon. Very strong and overpowering.Rating (1 to 10): 2I am glad I only bought a 50g pack of this flavor as the smell & taste (most importantly) was horrible. The smell was strong, the taste even worse - it was a horrible mix/mash of fruit + lemon, overpowering and somewhat nauseating. After 15 min of fighting w/ it I gave up and tossed the whole thing (even the unused portion).Perhaps mixed (lightly) with mint it may have been smokable, but as it was, I considered unsmokable. I was told it was "love or hate" - I hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda smells like grapefruit kinda...maybe some pineapple.Taste: Very impressed with the taste. Started out a bit slow at first, really picked up about 10 minutes in. It tastes sour on the inhale, not much flavor, but on the exhale it tastes like a combo of grapefruit, pineapple, and banana possibly. At the very least a good fruit mix. Intense taste.Smoke: Huge white clouds without having to sacrifice flavor.Buzz: Good buzz. Felt it slightly.Duration: 45 minutesOverall: 9.3/10 I'm taking some points off for the fact that the smell of the smoke lingers in the room if you smoke inside. It has been 5 hours since I have smoked and the room still smells. I got a comment from my girlfriend that it smelled like a mix of grapefruit and NHT, but that's just her I guess. I also think the flavor on the exhale could be stronger. Very good flavor with very good smoke. Def give it a try. It would also be a great sour mixer.
