PersianPride Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm well aware that romman is associated with hookah-shisha but man they really aren't very subtle about their promotion of the tobacco. I was looking at their tobacco reviews in the Romman category and I saw this: "My favorite" "Dang its goood!" "The best" "Freakin awesome!" Well i thought I wonder what the reviews for al fakher 250g are like and I found nothing, tried al amir 250g and again nothing. Then I clicked on Havana and finally saw another review for the more premium tobaccos and guess what I found: "Excellent shisha, as good a Romman, long 'wet' smoke" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yer, it would be laughable.... if it wasn't so embrassing. Isn't Romman supposed to be bloody expensive though? JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersianPride Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 $20 for 250g which is even more expensive then Al Fakher golden series. I've never tried it and maybe it really is the shit but for $20 it better be like inhaling an orgasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny_lech Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Starbuzz is that expensive, but it's damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding_Heart1 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 romman isnt worth it. there shisha has changed alot. back in the day there lemon was like inhaling an orgasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I don't like Romman to be honest. Flavors arent too great, it smokes only OK, and it's pricey. I'd much rather smoke Layalina/AW/or just about anything (cept HH and Nakhla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Romman = wayyyyyyyyyy overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I got started on romman way back when with my first hookah, and the local head shop sells it 4.50 a 50g box and every 7th box free. I like it, but that being said I stick exculusivly to strawberry, peach and Mango. Everyone has diffrent opinion, but I agree Hookah-Shisha is way biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabanapatio Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hilarious...I just got off the phone telling my buddy who juss got into hookah to stay away from Romman. hmmm...i say everyone get on hookah-shisha.com and review their romman!! I'm sure that will keep innocence first timers away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Lmao, doubt the reviews will ever make it to the site. At any rate, I only ever tried Rommon mint, and it was just...so so, at best. I thought the texture to be waxy, and the flavor to be just kind...blah. I have a free 50g coming to me, so I guess I'll be trying it again. Maybe I'll get cherry.

pboyle Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I don't think romman is that good. I haven't tasted too many different tobaccos, it almost doesn't have a taste. If anything its like.. a subtle aftertaste. ehh whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I got a kick out of that one. I've had Romman and I, personally, am not a fan of insanely over-priced tobacco considering it's quality. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I really don't like Romman in general. Their mint is apparently a good mixer though, I found that out tonight Mmmmm. A little Romman mint with Nakhla Cappuccino and milk in the base EDIT: Hahaha, you can see my brother's old Pine Wood Derby trophy in the corner of the room I smoke in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worr lord Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yeah... I packed a bowl 3 days ago, but then wasn't able to smoke it. I forgot about it, and decided to give natural coals another try, and man, it was one of the best sessions I've ever had. The smoke was so incredibly thick I couldn't believe it. That picture was taken towards the end of the first bowl (had 2 since it was so nice), so the smoke had thinned out a bit by then. It was white as snow and dense as cement before that, so good.

pauldavis Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 romman is pretty good in my opinion, and it is reeeeaaaalll easy to get smoking well, which is good for beginners but not quite worth the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 That's true, it's never packed dense either, so it's easy to sprinkle in and get going. I noticed that I get a buzz sometimes though, and being a heavy cigar smoker, I almost NEVER get any sort of nicotine buzz at all. But a large bowl of straight Romman throws me for a loop. Oh yeah, I got mine for free . 2 50g packages, cherry and mint. The cherry is so sweet I throw up when I smoke it, and the mint is so strong that it only takes ~5 'pieces'/leaves to add to the flavor of a huge bowl of Nakhla Cappuccino (not too strong in the first place though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 romman is pure crap! i have tried cherry at a lounge and got a 50g box of strawberry and they both sucked big time. i will never spend my hard earned cash on romman again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's meh. Some flavors are good/okay, some are crap. It's not bad, but it's not worth the money imo. QUOTE I noticed that I get a buzz sometimes though, and being a heavy cigar smoker, I almost NEVER get any sort of nicotine buzz at all. But a large bowl of straight Romman throws me for a loop. That's another thing. I buzz too much on Romman. No idea why. It goes straight from no buzz to a sick, unpleasant buzz. Totally skips the nice put-me-to-sleep buzz.

Sonthert Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 The owner of Hookah-Shisha is Mr. Romman. He gets that stuff made exclusively for his company. Very few honey based tobaccos left...all corn syrup now. I wonder if they've changed manufacturers any time recently. Romman lemon used to be awesome, although I haven't tried it recently.

pboyle Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I actually have a new 50g box of romman lemon Haven't touched it yet. still working on peach. I actually have a peach/mango bowl ready right now. Hopefully its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Haha, I just noticed this on Hookah-Shisha.com's product description of the 'Conservation Bowl' QUOTE This product was formerly named the “30 Minute Bowl” but the title was not accurate because the Long Lasting Romman Shisha gives you way more than 30 Minutes of smoke from one session with this bowl.

EvansLight Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 lmao on the conservation bowl thing. Yea i had noticed this back when for some odd reason none of my reviews ever got up on the products XD even after i wrote out a nice well thought out one just for them, bastages!!

PersianPride Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Like I said their advertising lacks a great deal of subtlety. I'm just waiting for them to put this in the Romman description: QUOTE Romman tobacco..... smoking it will cause beautiful women to want to randomly have sex with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
