dirtysamurai Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Set up: Mya QT with 2 Japanese golden canary coals. The tobacco filled up my entire bowl (the one that comes with the QT) and a little bit of it sticking out the top. Foil was used - tobacco was touching the foil, but not too much. I used a toothpick to poke the holes. The toothpick was pushed all the way down.I used water with a few ice cubes in the base.Smell: Smells like those peach trolli gummy o ring candies you can buy at a 7-11 or supermarket ([url="http://www.candywarehouse.com/gummyrings.html"]link[/url]). 4/5Flavor: The taste is borderline peach flavored. It isn't overpowering, though. I think Al Fakher has definitely got this flavor just strong enough to notice the flavor, but not so much to kill your tastebuds. It has less flavor than my Al Waha orange cream, which was a disappointment. 3/5Buzz: Absolutely no buzz. I like to have a buzz when I'm smoking, but this could be a good change of pace. Maybe I'm just used to smoking? 2/5Overall: I like it, but would have liked if it had a little bit more apricot flavor and smell, rather than peach. I would definitely purchase another box, though, since it tastes good as is.3.5/5 starsPictures:[img]http://subdomain.dirtysamurai.com/pictures/apricot_01.jpg[/img][img]http://subdomain.dirtysamurai.com/pictures/apricot_02.jpg[/img]only 1 coal because i'm letting it rest in this picture.[img]http://subdomain.dirtysamurai.com/pictures/apricot_03.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cymptom Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I get really thick flavor from AF Apricot consistently, it's one of my favorite smokes. The apricot flavor is a mild one, but I think it comes through pretty strong in the smoke. One of my best sessions was a mix of AF Apricot and Tangiers Apricot (which I may like even more than AF.) I say give it another go, maybe without the ice? That always dulls the flavor for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtysamurai Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 i'll try it out soon without the ice. i'm also going to use a different hose (the plastic washable hose that came with the QT) instead of the mya hose. i've also been having trouble with my tastebuds - nothing seems to taste right for me, but for all my roommates, the taste is always there.

Since college started I've been smoking cigs on occasion and my hookah smoke has taken a step down in flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtysamurai Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 i quit smoking cigarettes almost half a year ago...the cola flavor was very spicy, but it definitely had that distinct cola taste to it. i'm very impressed by it.
