Mathazar Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I can't stand Nakhla! And that's not just because I've been smoking spectacular tobacco lately, it's because Nakhla is harsh on the lungs and has a cheap flavor to it. But, if it was the only tobacco I could get, I guess the Double Apple is what I would buy. It's not even close to being the BEST, but it's smokable. It tastes like licorice. If you want to try the BEST tobacco I've EVER smoked, head on over to: www.Hookah-Hookah.com and order some Hazelnut, Melon, Apple, Grape, and Margarita. But Hazelnut, Melon, and Apple are by FAR the BEST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highpockets Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Double Apple, Sweet Melon and Mint are all good choices. If they have El Basha get the Jasmine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To100YearsToLate Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Nakhla isnt BAD. But it isn't good either. I bought a sampler of their stuff, Cherry,Lemon, Apricot, Mint, and Mango were very good, Strawberry, Grape, and Bananna were OK, and Mixed Fruit was awful.

HeadCheese Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I like the Nakla Jasmine. Many of their flavors have a heavy dose of licorice to them, but if you like licorice that's obviously not a negative. One of my favorite flavors (in Nakla, anyway) is their coffee. It's mostly licorice with a coffee aftertaste, but to me it's like "serious" smoke and doesn't have the candy-like sweetness of most flavors/brands of Massel. (Shisha is the pipe, not the tobacco you put in it, by the way...) I've also tried the [b]cherry[/b] (like it), [b]banana[/b] (like it), [b]lemon[/b] (too harsh on the throat), [b]mint [/b](Whoa! Better when used sparingly in a mix) and [b]plain[/b] (what can you say, it's just tobacco). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supachink Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 i liked the bannana, the mint is a favorite for me but im also a menthol cig smoker, cherry tasted like complete ass in my opinion... sort of a playdoh flavor... i think i migth have some layin around, pm me and if i find it ill send you a sample.

mikem Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 The nakhla Jasmine is pretty good in my opinion, im smoking it now for the first time. It's definately a nice change of pace for me since I usually smoke fruity flavors. I give it one thumb up, its good, but I havent tried any other brands of jasmine so I can't really compare it.

alen Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 when it comes to double apple i still think nakhla is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookaman Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hey you guys, the only tobaccos I have now is nakhla melon and some sort of triple apple brand name prince. The tripple apple has too much licorice flavor and i dont like it. The melon on the other hand is ok, but im getting sick of smoking it. I had a 1 and a half hour smoking sessions with melon 2 or 3 months ago and i felt sick in my stomach lol. I didnt touch the nergileh until about a month later.

MR Bubble Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hookah-Dudes!!!!!!! I missed you all! . Yea, okay. I just couldn't pass this one up. Nakhla in my opinion is about a cheap cut, awkward massel. But you know what? It's just like a mutt: Ya gotta have a soft spot in your heart for it. Just like the stray mut: if you give it some attention it will always be faithful and deliver the goods. The goods meaning: A new surrrealistic-flavored smoke that is a great alternative to other types of smoking. I don't think you can be a Nakhla smoker unless you have a box of regular apple. That is my #1 Nakhla product. Double apple is the standard for double apples. Cherry is just plain weird, but in a great sort of way. It could be a bit sweeter, but if you have ever eaten a mouthful of cherry pie filling it will kind of burn your throat going down. Nakhla cherry has the same effect to the throat. Nothing harsh, but a little bite to the back of it. My wife (MRS Bubble) and I like it. It's her favorite. Grape is just too loopy to talk about. Just weird. You have to like weird stuff to appreciate it. Do a 50 gram box. Melon is worth any price. Some parts of the bowl taste like melons, and other parts remind me of a sweet pipe tobacco, but nothing so harsh. It is a great every day smoking experience (on the cheap!) Strawberry, hehehehehe! (evil grin) This stuff is responsible for some of my greatest buzzes. WORD OF CAUTION: Try to get the freshest strawberry you can. When you get it while it's still good, it is a nice smoke. But let it slip past it's expiration date and you will rather castrate tigers. Bottom line with Nakhla: You have to experiment with it and try to perfect your shisha smoking preparation. In egypt, if you go to a shisha pit (as I call them there) the shisha boys make Nakhla taste like breath from an angel (everybody say "Ahhhhhh") I always tried to keep my eye on them and pick up their tricks. The results are someone who can't imagine what the bad wrap is with this faithful mutt of a massel. Happy Friday gang. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
