PersianPride Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Al waha 5 star Set up- 24" Syrian, ice in the base and nicotine filter. Zoghal Galeb charcoal disk Cut- Like most of the cheaper brands the tobacco leaves seem to have a very course cut with some stems present. The tobacco is however fairly juicy without being too saturated. Smell-It smelled sweet is all I can conclude. There were citrus over tones but for the most part it simply had a generic sweet smell to it. Taste- Fairly disappointed by the taste as nothing particularly fruity or distinct jumped out at me. For the majority of the smoke it was simply a subtle sweetness which had a tinge of carbon to it no matter how little I exposed it to the charcoal. Smoke- For al waha it had slightly above average smoke production but still no comparison to the more expensive brands. Still it was satisfactory. Overall- I would give it a 5/10 there wasn't anything particularly negative about it but then again there was nothing positive either. I don't thing I would be purchasing this again but if I was offered it in a cafe` or friends house I still wouldn't have a problem smoking it since it is basically a generic sweet tobacco.

joseph* Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Waha Five StarCut: Large, a few stems, but not as many as nakhla. I think it is an excellent cut that burns well, but doesn't plug easily.Smell: Sweet, a little fruityTaste: Sweet, like cheap fruit flavored candy. I detect a vague fruit flavor, but I can't put my finger on it. Mainly it is sweet. Smoke: Good clouds, what you would expect from any decent shisha.Buzz: This is differant for everyone, I don't get a big buzz anymore from anything. My friends who don't smoke as much as me get a medium buzz.Overall: 6/10. I tend to like bold, distinct flavors, which this did not have, it just tasted sweet with a hint of general fruityness. But it did not taste bad. I had no desire to stop mid bowl. I will continue to smoke this flavor, but I will not buy it again at full price (I paid $2 at the local shop for 250g) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I think that the Al Waha 5-Star is underrated.It's been a rare flavor in tubs, but I found a 50g at the store today. Will smoke it later, it's been 3 years since I smoked 5-Star last.I remember it being one of the BETTER Al Waha flavors and one of the best kept secrets of the brand.The Al Waha peach, on the other hand, tasted like cardboard in a way if it's not totally moist, and Fumari peach was way better.I think often the quality of the smoke depends very much on your setup - getting thick smoke and flavor can only be achieved with the delicate strategy of hole patterns and coals. I use a 34-inch Egyptian with a traditional brown clay bowl, metal screen and 2 finger coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownbob06 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Flavor: Al Waha Five StarsSmell: smelled pretty good, not the strongest smell, but you could definitely smell it.Taste: The taste was definitely there, throughtout the entire smokeSmoke: The smoke wasn't that great, but I think that had more to do with the coal and holes setup than anything.Buzz: Got a nice light buzz, not the biggest I've gotten, but pretty good.Overall 7/10, although I'm sure it will go up next time I smoke it and can set up the coals and holes all right.

Bye bye now have fun Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 5 StarHookah: Mya solo with mya hoseBowl: ss vortex with tin foilCoals: 3 kingHas maybe 3-6 stems per bowl. Makes a decent size cloud and has a nice sugary/fruit candy taste. Near the end I got a slight cinnamony small in my nose.overall: 8/10 due to picking out the stems. Personally, I'm not a fan of bold flavors so naturally am a fan of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Al Waha Five StarCut: Typical Al Waha, some stems a bit moist (but I don't have much to compare it to)smell: Decent but not particularly identifiable or strongSmoke: Typical Al Waha smoke (good)Taste: Honestly tasted faintly like burning Shisha but you could tell it wasn't burning. The taste wasn't exactly bad, but I can't say I would ever buy the flavor again.buzz: Typical Al Waha.beer: Pretty mild flavor so would pair well with any pale/light beer.Overall wouldn't buy it again but glad I gave it the try I did. I will update my review if for some reason the rest of the pack smokes better.6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
