Lukasa Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I tried 3 flavors last night and man, I was impressed with 2/3 of them. First Up:Al Waha After NineThis is a highly reccommended Al Waha flavor. Supposedly a tremendously accurate chocolate mint flavor, I had high expectations.Set Up: 28 inch egyptian. custom vinyl hose. Standard high-grade deep ceramic bowl. Packed to the brim with a little bulge (so, direct contact between foil and tobacco) Smaller-sized holes (paper clip).Flavor: It could be sweeter. Thats all I have to say. When i'm smoking a flavor that is supposed to be a chocolate-mint candy flavor, it needs to be a bit sweeter than this stuff was. Still, a "chocolatey" background and a hint of mint. Unlike fumari's chocolate mint, which is the other way around, strong on the mint weak on the chocolate. It was a nice change of pace from the generic fruity flavors that become the norm for many brands. 3/5Thickness: Not too shabby. Better than nakhla, maybe not on par with, say Fumari or even Al Amir, but still. Solid. 3/5Buzz: For me, it didn't really live up to the legends of al waha's killer buzz, but still stronger than most. 3/5 Longevity: Its a heartly little shisha 4/5All-around: 3/5 Keep this flavor on hand in its 50g box's if you like chocolatey-minty flavors. Its not something i would put on my "must need" list, but if i saw it for sale somewhere I'd buy it if the price was right.AF Cappucino: I had heard MANY good things about this flavor in particular. I had to try it for myself. Setup: same as aboveFlavor: Jesus tapdancing Christ on a moped. This IS cappucino. Sweet creamy coffee flavor. Not a weak background flavor, it was there and had no trouble making its presence known. Accurate. Sweet. Delicious. 5/5Thickness: This might have been the thickest smoke i have ever had. I took a tiny hit and could exhale a huge plume of smoke. The only brand I can think of that has come close to this expierience for me has been fumari. 5/5Buzz: 2/5 Nothing too specialLongevity: This shisha is kind of delicate, but lasts a decent amount of time. The peak-flavor and peak-thickness of the smoke was around an hour long. Not bad.Overall: 5/5 A must try.Tangiers Cocoa: This was my very first tangiers expierience, and I was psyched. I only acclimated it for around 2 hours.Setup: same as aboveFlavor: Cocoa. Distinctly freaking cocoa. Not excessively sweet, but a very very pleasant cocoa taste. 4/5Thickness: Nothing freakishly thick. Heat management with this brand is a little difficult, so the smoke fluctuated between thin and harsh, and the way it is supposed to be: pretty thick and smooth. 3/5Longevity: This stuff smokes like a champ: 5/5Overall: 4/5 Definitely a pleasant smoke, I'd keep it on hand. I hope to let it acclimate more and see if the expierience goes up a notch to 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 mix nakhla peach and al waha cola for a damn good buzz, especially if your smoking by yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Spork Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 i tried the al-waha after nine tonight with canary japanese coal tablets. holy crap!awesome flavor! its got the perfect amount of mint, its cool but not like straight mint where its too menthal-like.smoke isnt crazy thick, but its very flavorful and smokes well.the canary coals are awesome! they almost dont ash up at all, and dont burn too hot and burn the shisha. absolute A+ experience. after nine is by far the best al-waha flavor ive tried. the buzz from it was monsterous at first, and died down after a bit as the coals wore down.
