[color=#282828][size=4][font=arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif][size=4][b]Hookah: [/b]35" Egyptian
[b]Bowl: [/b]Crown Micro Classic v2
[b]Screen/Foil: [/b]Alufoil pre-cut heavy duty shisha foil
[b]Hose:[/b][color=#CACACA] [/color]Shisha King EX-L
[b]Coals:[/b][color=#CACACA] [/color]Cococha (1 split in half, total fail), followed by Abo Alabed, 3 x 1" lumps, worked well)
[b]Base Liquid:[/b][color=#CACACA] [/color]Water

[b]Appearance:[/b] Finely cut, black, some small stems, moist but not dripping wet
[b]Nicotine:[/b] unknown, but plenty
[b]Base:[/b] unknown
[b]Smell:[/b] intriguing, can't place it, not like other shisha I've had. Slightly perfumy, spicy smell. Pleasant but novel, not obviously liquorice and not obviously tobacco, but not offputting. [/size][/font][/size][/color]
[color=#282828][size=4][font=arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif][size=4][b]Taste: [/b]milder than expected, more spice and tobacco than obviously liquorice although it did yield an aftertaste of actual liquorice root (as opposed to liquorice candy)[/size][/font][/size][/color]
[color=#282828][size=4][font=arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif][size=4][b]Smoke:[/b] barely a wisp at low heat; excellent clouds attainable with extreme heat, less scorchable than Nakhla
[b]Buzz:[/b] a wonderfully relaxing smoke, up there with the best.
[b]Duration: [/b]2 x 20 mins, with a short break

[b]Purchased From:[/b] hookah1.com

[b]Overall:[/b] 8/10 - not your typical shisha and not quite what I expected, but very pleasant, with a nice, relaxing buzz and an acceptable flavour. As others have said, the flavour seems like an afterthought, though with generous amounts of heat, I was able to get decent amounts of enjoyable smoke. Excellent value, enjoyable tobacco.[/size][/font][/size][/color]
