gr!m Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Al-Fakher Fruit Cocktail*Hookah Noob Review*Set Up: 12" Mini Pear Hookah 27" Basic Mod Hose Ice & Water in Base Steel Screen, No Foil One and Two Coal Alternating (Golden Brand)Smell: Smells delicious, like Hawaiian Punch or Kool Aid. Was what I expected. 5 / 5Cut: Nice cut, fine, had quite a few stems compared to my other box of Al Fakher though. 3/5Smoke Density: Very dense smoke. Had great clouds floating around. 5/5Flavor: Good flavor, fruity with a little tartness. No my favorite but very good. 4/5Duration: Lasted for over an hour, my second bowl of the night and I didn't finish it. I was getting tired.Buzz: Pretty good buzz. Little floaty feeling.Final Verdict: 4 / 5 (not an average of other scores)Final Thoughts: Overall the best part was the thickness of the smoke. It was dense and milky colored. The taste was average overall, but good none the less. Cut could have been better, it had a lot of thick stems. Very enjoyable smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hojo Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Al Fakher CocktailI am incredibly lazy, so when a Cocktail flavor appeared in my AF Sampler pack, I thought it would be a nice way to avoid mixing flavors. How did it hold up?Hookah: Mya QTBowl: Standard MyaScreen/Foil: FoilHose: Standard MyaCoals: 1 Golden QLBase Liquid: Ice WaterAppearance: Standard Al Fakher. Dyed, as always, bright stinking red.Smell: A cacophony of fruit flavors, with that pervading "creamy" smell of AF Strawberry. It does not smell particularly pleasant, and for a second I considered going to a different flavor.Taste: This tasted like a weaker version of AF Strawberry. There were no other flavors present. This is not a terribly bad thing, as I liked AF Strawberry well enough, but it begs the question: Why not just smoke Strawberry? On the box, I counted no less than 12 different fruits all bunched together, looking all nice and pretty. I expected fruit salad or fruit punch, and I got what I can only describe as Strawberry Lite. What a disappointment.Smoke: Thick, fluffy clouds as always. Good ol' AF always pulls through in this department.Buzz: Slight, noticeable, relaxing indeed.Purchased From: Part of the Al Fakher sampler pack from Hookah-ShishaOverall: If you like AF Strawberry, you will like this stuff. However, if you like AF Strawberry, you probably have some on hand, so purchasing this would be superfluous. I have now come to terms with the fact that I will have to make my own damn cocktail using different fruit flavors, lazy or no. I still have the sneaking suspicion that there was a mix-up and I got an extra batch of Strawberry in a Cocktail box. I wouldn't recommend it, and I will most certainly not be purchasing this again.As always, feedback and recommendations via PM are welcome and encouraged.

The flavor is a mixed fruit blend with Strawberry and Cherry as the overtones, there is some other fruit flavors undertones, but they are overshadowed by the strawberry and cherry.

This batch doesn't hold up to its predecessors, but I am going to assume it was just a bad batch. The flavor is a decent mixed fruits flavor, but definitely not my flavor. This would be a good flavor to pick up every once in a while, and mix with others, but I don't see this as a go to flavor for me. The reason the score isn't higher is because of the batch I got. I don't know if the recipe changed slightly so I don't know if this was a one time slip up. Edited December 26, 2012 by brphotoakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
