sambookamax Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I see a lot of people like the apple flavor!? I tried one brand, can't remember which brand. I was in a pinch needed something quick, found a place that sold a couple of things, not much...so I bought some apple and it was terrible! Maybe I got the crappiest brand, I am willing to try apple again, if you could pick two, what would they be? Any other suggestions for your must have flavors/brands!? Thanks!

Captain Courageous Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 there are some good apple flavors out there, and bad ones no doubt. I smoked one apple that was so harsh once I swear it was like trying to drink broken glass... it was unsmokable... we had to quit smoking that bowl because it hurt so much... wasn't pleasant at all... but one of my favorite flavores of all time is an apple from Al Fahker... just don't remember that it was called... mabie golden apple. It was one of their really expensive shishas... the shisha itself was a very light brown/light yellow color... it tasted sooooo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 captain courageous is referring to golden eskanderani apple from al fakher. if you had it and it was terible it might have been double apple and not in fact apple. a quick run down of the apple flavors you can get. double apple= apple and anise flavor (always will have a licorice taste) apple= just normal apple bahrainy apple= a sweeter red apple taste eskandarani apple = a tart but sweet green apple special apple(havana)= double apple with less anise and more apple. but still some anise. so take your pick of style. al fakher is generally known to make the best apple, and eskandarani apple. tangiers apple is very good if you like tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksblazer Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sounds like it was eiher: AF Golden Bahraini Apple Al Fakher Shisha or AF Golden Eskandarani Apple Al Fakher Shisha to me. Layalina also makes a good Eskandarani Apple for the $$, but I give an edge to AF. I'm getting ready to order some Tangiers Candy green apple. I hear it's good stuff and Tangiers is my favorite brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Courageous Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 ah! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had been wondering what the apple's name was for a very long time now... lol, over a year infact. Thanks for clearing that up for me *smiles big* the last time I tried to order it I actualy ordered the wrong kind and ended up getting the bahraini apple instead and was all let down. Here in a few days when I get paid I am defenantly gonna order some of that golden eskanderani apple. It's the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambookamax Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 SanguineSolitude, Cool, that is some great information!!! Captain Courageous, You seem pretty excited about the golden eskanderani apple! Think that will be the one I try!?? I am new, and just trying to find some of the best flavors/brands to add to my stock...everybody seemed to really like apple on here... Currently, I have Al Waha Afternine (my favorite), Orange Cream, and California Dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambookamax Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Just talked to my girl, the one I had was the Al Amir...double apple, Blah! Yuck! (...I did mix it with some "mango" from a local place...can't remember if I tried it alone or not? After trying the mix, we changed it to straight mango..so I may not have tried it alone?)

SanguineSolitude Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 people either love or hate double apple just like they either love or hate licorice. layalina eskandarani apple is also supposed to be very good. though most tip the hat to gold af as being the best.

sambookamax Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well, I trust your judgement and knowledge...I am going to order some on my next order! I am also getting one of the Medium Phunnel Bowls...still unsure if I should get medium or small, once I figure that out, I will be ordering...(my questions about the phunnel bowl is in the phunnel thread) Cheers!

oriteku Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Are the double apple flavors generally mild? I have tried afzal and al waha and neither seemed good for anything but mixing. I love black licorice and the flavors smell good but seem very bland when smoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 nakhla is generally cited as the classic double apple. it was the first and the reason that all double apples have anise. i think its pretty strong tasting. havana's special apple is very good and ive heard their double is quite nice too. ive never heard anything good about afzal.

I usually just make my own by mixing AF Esk Apple and Havana cherry that i had laying around. 100g of each makes for a nice mix that you'll be using over and over again .

ksblazer Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks for the Triple apple explanation. I never hear anything about it, so I was very curious. It sounds like a good combo that I will have to try out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 There is a review of mouj al bahr triple white apple in the review section by me. I wasn't a big fan, but everyone else smoking it was. No annise or cherry flavor noticable, just apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Fumari's "Fumari" used to be really good, its some sort of apple, apple-cherry maybe...its been awhile. I do endorse the Tangiers Apple, since I own the company, but try the Fumari "Fumari" and see what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
