Why Is Fumari So Dammm Expensive

[Extra Mint]

This stuff is not as good as AF or Tangiers, so why is it priced so highly?

If they priced it cheaper it could probably be one of the mainstream flavors as its better than SB. I only buy it because of blueberry muffin, which is ridiculously high in UK but i like the flavor and its the only company that makes this one.

[Chreees]

I dunno, but I can tell you its price is the reason why I've never purchased it before.

[Extra Mint]

I know its stupid considering it aint no where as good as AF or some others but shishaholics should defiantly try out the blueberry muffin tastes good.

I was thinking of making a mix of AF vanilla, Al Waha Blueberry and a pinch of AF DA to try and get that taste, (Al Waha is the only blueberry i have access too)

[grock]

Id assume that the price reflects production cost.

Also, according to their website, they opened San Diego's first hookah lounge. This would lead to think that maybe they are going for a an image of exclusivity or quality by inflating the prices.

Who knows. If only you knew someone on the board. lol

All I know is that Fumari is one of my favorite brands. They have some killer flavors like blueberyy muffin, orange zest, ambrosia, chai, white gummy bear, and a bunch of others. But, yes, the price is ridiculous.

Fuamri is really good, I like it. It's still cheaper than SB! 100g Fumari is 9.99, SB 100g is 10.99.

[â€On]

I would rank Fumari above AF I think. I had not tried it until recently, but it is pretty good. I would put it in in the same class of tobacco as AF (in terms of flavor, juiciness, smoke quality, etc), but I think it ranks a bit higher simply because of the the flavors. AF is a bit more traditional (basic fruit flavors), and having tried pretty much ever AF flavor, I can honestly say that they shit the bed on flavors pretty often.

While that is true, 100g packages are a total ripoff. To get 250g of Fumari (2.5 bags) it costs quite a bit more than SB. I do like some of Fumari's flavors a lot but it's too pricey and completely without nicotine, or so it seems.

[Extra Mint]

will even for 100g i have to pay £15 which is $24 in usa.

It's a bummer, because next to Nak, AF is the easiest to smoke and one of the best values for the money. But some of the flavors are down right gross. The grenadine/pomegranate one tastes almost identical to cherry cough syrup. It doesn't help that they dye it and it looks just like cherry cough syrup as well. Maybe it is cough syrup....

[Bawhee]

not to mention their latest batch of plum ive tried, that shit was straight out disgusting.

It seems to me that with a lot of AF flavors, they require some serious airing out, otherwise the smells are these overbearing chemical smells. I had some guava in my cupboard that I hadn't smoked in about 2 months, opened up the container and it almost made me fall over. It was like smelling ether. After it sat open for 20 min and was mixed up a bunch of times it wasn't bad, but it pretty much put me off of smoking it.

It's the exact opposite for me, I can't get nak to smoke right. I got ice lemon mint and peach and the ILM smells like vinegar and jus like something sour. The peach tastes like chalk. But AF smokes as well as tang at times with full flavor and hella smoke.

[Extra Mint]

I dont know what stuff you two have been smoking BUT AF is quite easily the best shisha brand, the smoke and consistency is better then any and the flavor lasts the longest (most other brands flavors die out in less then 30 minutes)

The AF mint/DA/grape/watermelon are some of the best flavors out there, sure there marketing department isnt as good as SB or Fumari and they dont have fancy names and creative marketing promotions but the product quality kills them anyday.

That's not nak, that's nak's mix and mizo line, respectively. Completely different products from regular nak.

If you're losing flavor in 30 minutes you are most likely doing something wrong. Only the crappiest tobacco's I have tried, and only when they are old, lose flavor that fast. I don't mean to knock you or anything, but no tobacco should lose flavor that fast.

Great advice, I am not sure why people think tangiers is the only brand that needs acclimation.

I acclimate everything. Most stuff only needs a minute or two and a good mix, but some of the more chemical smelling stuff takes a bit longer. Tangiers, as long as I do a proper initial acclimation, only needs a minute or two between sessions.

Well yes apart from Nak and tang,

I dont really smoke tangiers as its too hard to get in UK

Fumari is just similar to SB, doesnt come anywhere close to AF

[Nerdy]

I wasn't bashing AF, I'm actually an AF fan boy. I am simply saying that I never have issues with AF. My nak ice lemon mint smells like vinegar. Tastes like it also even after acclimation, I have had it air out and still no luck. As for my peach, it smells like peach but tastes like chalk. :-/ bad batches possibly?

[Bawhee]

Ive honestly never had a truly bad batch of nakhla, I dont know aboutu the ice lemon but peach has always been pretty great for me...
