No Show Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 hey dude i just saw on www.hooka-shisha.com that the flavor youre talking about is "pipe" flavored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Show Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 yea it really has my interest piqued...i like smoking a traditional pipe as well...but if i can smoke it through a hookah and have the same flavor, i'm all over it!

Skimo Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 ive never smoked a pipe but the shit smells great as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilqueToast Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Zaghloul is not "pipe" tobacco. It is unflavoured in the sense that it does not have fruit or flower flavourings added to it, but it can be a very tasty tobacco. Nakhla Zaghloul is a little harsh for many, but if you want to enhance another flavour, add some zaghloul to it. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 lol fuck so im stuck with 250 grams of unflavoured shisha? hopefully its not as bad as i think, i stuck some in my mouth bc it fell on my bed (about half a bowl) and it kinda tasted like levi garret haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Zag does not taste like pipe tobacco at all, it tastes like its own thing. For the real traditional experiance skip the screen and foil and just drop a coal right on top of the tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 yeah last time i tried that it turned out harsh as fuck, unless somebody wants to help me where i can do it without making it harsh im gonna stick with foil. i also saw it was a traditional smoke so i figured it would be good to pay my respects to what started what we have today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Well, it would be as harsh as smoking a cigarette or cigar or pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 lol no when i did it it was like, a really really harsh smoke, not like smoking a cigg or cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUXOR HOOKAHS Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 When I first started smoking a hookah, the old Egyptian shop owner who sold me my first pipe explained to me that "in the old country" real men only smoked Zaghloul (plain) tobacco, flavored tobacco was for delicate women. Now 3 years later even he has switched to Nakhla Two Apples. The times are a changen my friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 lol yeah i like other smokes but i think it would make you respect hookah more smoking traditional shit every once in awhile, im prolly about to pack and bowl and try this shit out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 ok well i just smoked my first bowl of it, its now my first scary smoke lol, the shit is no joke and will kick your ass but i liked it, if i could just get use to the buzz im good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I sometimes mix a little zag in with other flavors to give them more kick, it really works well. Skimo, did you use foil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 It went Screen, Foil then I was like fuck it and just used the coal by itself, could this explain the ass kicking i recived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yeah, the coal right on the tobacco would explain it. I do that from time to time, but you need to prepare yourself for an intense experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skimo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 now i totally understand why middle eastern people look fucked up all the time haha, if i was smoking like that at 12 id be puking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Go to a dairy farm sometimes, I'm sure they can scrape up some stuff from the floors of the stalls where they keep the cows for you. I'm sure putting that in your bowl would taste better than Zag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Zag isn't that bad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Nakhla Zag is pretty good... the downside is that it drys out fast and burns rather soon. Remedy? Veg Glycerin. I mix some of that in with the zag and put it in a mason jar...... then the jar goes out on my cement walk in the full sun for a few hours. After that, the smoke is not harsh and it acts like "normal" shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdrelyea Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 basicly Zaghloul is tobacco mixed with molassas only...so it is a sweet flavor...it is my primary smoke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I like to put a few bits on the bottom of my bowl underneath the AF eskandrani. After a while the flavors mix in a soft way and WOW!!Once it hits heavy Zag you know the bowl is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
