Vanilla

Al Fakher Vanilla

Opened up the jar and was surprised that it was smothered in molasses. Very very nice smell. The cut was decent, to my suprise a lot of stems.... but other then that it was fine.

Taste - Awsome, much better than the other vanillas that I had prior to this. Very Smooth, perfect for any combos.

Smoke - Thick Thick White Smoke

Overall - 9/10 Perfect for the amount that I paid for it, bang for your buck!

Al Fakher Vanilla (New)

Setup: Mya Odyssey 23", Small Phunnel + Mod, 3 Coco-Nara

Shisha Cut: Normal Medium cut, scattered stems, Red glycerine

Smell: Vanilla Tootsie Rolls, Farr's Vanilla Ice Cream

Taste: Mild taste, but noticeable. Like a Vanilla Tootsie roll.

Duration: 1.5 hours (coals were lit the whole time, only needed to add one more)

Smoke Quality: Excellent, clouds.

Buzz: Maybe, but i was drinking Coconut Rum

Over-all: 8/10. I was wishing the flavor would be stronger, it smelled very strong. AF is very easy to pack as well. Easy to burn the tobacco, but it gives alot of leeway. It is almost the same as AW Vanilla, only juicier and the flavor lasts the whole session. I will be smoking this again. May be a great mixer like AW Vanilla.

Smell: The scentof this shisha is very stron and smells like vanilla cake.

Taste: This is a great lite smoke That works really well on its own and as a mixer. It has a nice creamy texture that you would expect from a vanilla flavor.

Smoke: Very typical of AF

Buzz: None

Overall: This is one that I will keep around but I wont feel the need to keep in my collection once I finish my first tub. Enjoyable but not a must-have for me.

AF Vanilla

Setup- MZ Sirius, Golden QL coals (these were what was readily available at Narghile Nights as far as QLs go...never again), Washable SocialSmoke hose, standard SocialSmoke bowl

Cut - Fairly small cut.

Smell - Kind of faint, but a vanilla candy of some sort. Can't put my finger on it...

Taste: Not a fan, really. The aftertaste was pleasent, but damn me, I like the smoke to be flavored!

Smoke: Nice clouds for the first few puffs, couldn't replicate those originals throughout the entire session.

Buzz: Meh...barely. It lasted all of two minutes.

Duration: Haha...like 30 minutes before it was spent?

Rating: 3/10. This was my first experience with AF, and considering the rave reviews it gets on the forum, I was very disappointed. The shisha burned FAR too easily, and it was probably the least enjoyable smoke I've had since I've gotten my hookah. The session was redeemed when I redid the bowl with Layalina Raspberry and a small amount of AF Vanilla. I'll probably stick to Layalina...sorry AF fanboys. .

Al Fakher Vanilla

Set up:
No name Egyptian
Foil (many small thumbtack holes)
No name hose
Egyptian Bowls

Cut: Seems small cut, didn't notice many stems, VERY juicy.

Smell: Strong sweet smell.

Taste: I thought it tasted like coconut. It was very strong to smoke it by itself, it was very good but wouldn't be able to smoke it regularly. So far it has made for a good mixer though.

Buzz: Meh.

Clouds: Nice

Duration: Average

Overall: 8/10

I'd like to think of myself as a hard rater, I would give it a 7 for the shisha itself, but because it is such a versatile mixer it gets bumped up to an 8. Looking forward to mixing it with more as time continues.

This is the best vanilla flavor I've ever had so far. The flavour is slight, smooth and has a subtle sweetness to it. I recommend trying this at least once. I wish the flavor was a bit more pronounced, but for those who like subtle flavor, it is a must. will keep this one on hand for solo smoke or a mixer.
9/10

[b]Overall: [/b]8/10 The smell is incredible, I was a little scared, but it's incredibly sweet smelling. The taste is a sweet vanilla, but no where near as strong as the smell. The sweet vanilla is similar to vanilla cake but it is close. I really do recommend it, but it's very not something I could smoke often.

[b]Overall: [/b]What a great flavor! It took a little bit to get started but was a consistent sweet, mellow vanilla from beginning to end. Not only is this delicious on it's own but it makes a great mixer for cherry, which I tried next with the remainder. I only got a 50g package because I assumed it would be a weak mixer, not one I would enjoy on it's own but I was wrong and can't wait to get some more.
