mushrat Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The local cafe has just gotten a selection of Cleopatra Molasses in. Wide variety of flavours. I picked up a 50G of sweet melon. The ingredients read: Tobacco, inverted sugar, sweet melon flavour. Anyone else ever heard of this stuff? Alas, the search engine is still not QUITE up to snuff.

Macho555 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 INVERTED sugar? I'm not sure how that works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Inverted sugar is where the sucrose has been broken into a glucose and fructose. It is hygroscopic like glycerol, so thats probably why this shisha doesn't have any, although I don't know which would be better for producing big clouds of smoke. It sounds really unique, I can't wait to hear how it smokes. Also, how much did it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoru Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Inverted sugar is sucrose (table sugar) that has been digested by the enzyme invertase... seperates it into its component fructose (fruit sugar) and glucose/dextrose. It makes it syrupy and preserves it somewhat (the same process is done by bees to nectar to make honey (that and dehydrate it)). Not sure how it would smoke though.

Joseph Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Well, I think you could break the bond between fructose and glucose using heat as well, not just with enzyme, it woudn;t change the end product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Mush... could I send a few dollars your way and could you include some when you send me that sample? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have smoked the Peach. It's pretty Good. holds it flavor threw out the session. It does change when to hot. The flavor that is. But most shisha's do that. All in all I decided that I will be carring this brand in my store. But i will be getting it by the Kilo. smiley 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Smiley: Thanks, the shop owner here says the peach and the melon are especially good, so I got some melon to try, I'll get the peach next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 How was the Melon? I added some real Peach meat to the Cleopatra Peach Shisha.I smoked that threw a mix of peach and mango juice with ice.That was good. I like that fact that there is a new Shisha Brand to try.

mushrat Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 havent tried it yet, airing it out for tonight. Ya, I'm a sucker for any new brand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Inverted sugar is better known as sugar syrup, glucose syrup is sometimes used. Molasses contains inverted sugars, too. I was under the impression that inverted sugars were sugars that were the wrong chirality for people, but plants used either kind. Shows you what I know.

jonny_lech Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I wonder if that's like Pharoah Molasses? I've tried quite a bit of that (cuz it's cheap at the store I go to) and their formula on at least the mint changed recently...perhaps ownership change? I'll have to post my reviews.......

mushrat Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 I gave my cleopatra to a friend who was out of tobacco..i'll get some more tomorrow and give it a try. A buddy says the peach is REALLY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damo2010 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I picked up 2 packets of Grape flavour while in Jordan. They smell really fruity but are rather light in taste. Was a bit disappointed. Have tried mixing them with the Naklah Grape Ultra Lights (Really regret buying these) but did not amount to much taste wise.
