imonlyapuppet Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've almost always stuck with Fumari for my preferred brand of shisha, as it was pretty high quality, had an amazing variety, and decent prices. However, with them raising the prices, I'm looking for an alternative.I've been interested in Al Fakher, but I can't find any place that sells them in anything less than 250g. I don't want to go and buy 250g of something I haven't tried before. HookahCompany has an Al Fakher 50g sampler pack, but it's been sold out for weeks.If there's no place that sells 50-100g Al Fakher, what should I go for that is high quality, flavorful, and will basically make me more attractive to the ladies? I'm thinking of Tangiers, but I was just wondering if there was any other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilqueToast Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Layalina is the most under-estimated of all the shishas! I'd go that route. Havana is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshadow Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 i agree, Layalina has impressed me. and I can get 50g boxes for 2 bucks each, any flavor locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oryon1033 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Havana is made by people who used to work for AL-FAKHER. But I like Havana better. And they make 50 g boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Social Smoke has had 50g packs of AF in the past, but I haven't checked in a while. I personally dislike AF's take on the flavors.The best alternatives to Fumari that are non-Tangiers are Layalina, Havana or Al Amir; they're not on par with Fumari, but they aren't ridiculously overpriced either. Social Smoke should have 50g packs of all of those as I recently got some 50g packs of each of those. Tangiers is a viable choice as well (if you can handle it). ;-) I'd recommend going with it if you've yet to try it, but don't go balls-out on an order until you know you like the style of Tangiers tobacco.

oryon1033 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Fumari is crap. Tangiers is the best you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well, it is overpriced, but I used to get romman from the local place when it was on sale and I really liked it. Also, even though they are not called "premium" I really like Waha, it is my usual smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding_Heart1 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 i think al waha is way overlooked. They have fantastic flavors and the smoke is thick too. I tried layalina and i did not like it at all. I dont know why but it wasnt my bag. Id try AW or go for the traditional Nakhla, its an old'en but a good'en.
