Realistic strawberry

Romman is pretty good. 

I'm smoking Hookah-Hookah Strawberry right now with one 3kings
coal,  and it's nothing to rave about.  The flavor is very
weak,  I can taste it,  but not abundantly. Plus,  the
maassel is granular in form,  so it kind of gets packed in the
bowl when loading it. 

On the other hand,  Romman maassel is long cut in strands and is
easy to sprinkle into the bowl without it getting packed in there.

I've found the Al Fakher strawberry is very good, and does have an actual strawberry flavor.  Just watch out for the buzz though.  It can sneak up on you after awhile.

Belphegor.......I'll comment on the Hookah-Hookah flavors in another
thread,  as I really don't want to get off-topic in this one.

Mr. Scratch........You probably already know what I'm going to
say...lol....but, personally,  I thought the Al-Fakher Strawberry
sucked.  I couldn't taste ANYTHING! It was amongst the worst
Strawberry brands I'd ever tasted.  It was a smooth smoke, 
like all AF flavors,  but it wasn't outstandingly flavorful. 
Infact,  as I mentioned, it really didn't taste like
anything.  Maybe I got a bad batch.

I'm unsure of the Hookah-Hookah Strawberry at this point because I've
only smoked it with one coal.  I'm going to try it with two coals
either tonite or tomorrow.  And then I'll review it and all the
other flavors

I used to smoke Nakhla Strawberry in Egypt and it was pretty yummy. However, it ages fast and gets real nasty. No, you don't understand, I'm talking gut-wrenching NASTY. But fresh, it is pleasant. I know El Basha makes a strawberry (which is toned-down Nakhla. I'm curious about it. I may order a sample and review it.

I totally disagree with you.

Whether you liked it or not, AF Strawberry has overwhelming taste, in
fact a bit too strong for a solo session.  It's a good tobacco to
smoke with friends !

I probably just got a bad batch.  But,  seriously,  I
thought it tasted more like cheesecake than Strawberry

Mathazar, If you can't taste AF strawberry, then I can only conclude
that you've got freakin' calluses on your tongue from your 15
bowl-a-day hookahholism ferchrissakes!

I find AF strawberry to be one of the most potent tastes out
there.  In fact, I agree with Fumystery, that it is actually a bit
too strong a flavor to smoke on your own, it is almost overwhelmingly
heavy and sweet with unadulterated strawberryness.
