Zerodynamic Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 AW 5 stars that is.....So, I was in a bind. I blew most of my paycheck on christmas, and I had to economize my hookah session. I went out to berkeley looking to buy, maybe 500g worth of tobacco, and to make sure i got my moneys worth. So, i'm just browsing around and I see this purple box with 5 stars. I ask the guy, what is that, and he tells me its Al-Waha 5 stars. Very popular flavor... tells me that its a mix of the 5 most popular AW flavors.So I figure, what the hell, I want to smoke, this stuff smells good, and it will hold me over (when my severly diminished supply of pharoh's runs out) until payday, then I can buy the stuff I am used to.I get home, pack out a bowl out of my 2 hose SS. Everything was clean, ready to go. Put on a 3k got it glowing red hot. Started smoking. This thing tastes like a fruity sock! Its horrible. Worst smoking session ever. (and i thought AW Rose was bad, but this takes the cake.) I made big cloud with the fruity sock flavor.Suffice to say, I had been decivied. I took what was left of the box, and immediately threw it in the garbage. I won't want to subject any of you to trading for this crap.So, has anyone else tried the fruity sock flavor?

PK Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yes I own a 250g tub of jock itch. Smoked 1/8 of a bowl and haven't packed it since. I had to clean the crap out of my hookah and hose after that crap. It's garbage but I know a few people that enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagon Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Maybe it would be a good topic If everyone would write things which are not worth smoking... For me, such flavours are: Zaghloul, Nakhla Rose. Moassel Salloum brand is evil, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cameron Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 well i bought a 250g tub of pharoah's triple apple. to me, this was a mistake. i LOVE layalina's double apple, so i thought it was worth a shot. it tastes minty, and i dont like that. it reminds me of a menthol. GROSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I must be crazy cause i love 5star, got about 400g of it and smoke it often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiracerj1 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Me and my friends really enjoyed 5 star the one time we had it. Wasnt really good enough to order it again though. I think part of the problem with 5 star is that I've heard that its basically a combo of whatevers leftover after they fill the other flavors, so it varies from batch to batch. If you get a good batch liek I did its fantastic and very sweet a flavorful, but I can imagine getting a bad batch thats heavier on a certain flavor or flavors would be kinda suspect.

This actually makes sense but not sure how true it is.Edit: Some of you may already know this but the 5 flavors in Five Star are Double Apple, Strawberry, Peach, Guava, and Vanilla Edited December 16, 2006 by PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 FYI about 5 Star... it's just the bits of left over shisha combined. So it will always taste a bit different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I only managed to get a whiff of that 5 Star, and that alone led me to not wanting to smoke it...I'm sorta glad I didn't because really, it doesn't even SOUND appetizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moassel Salloum brand is evil, too.This would be a pointless thread, because everyone who posts a flavor that they despise will come across another person who happens to like it.There is not one flavor, brand, hookah, coal that EVERYONE in the world will enjoy. People have their own personal tastes/preferances as to what they find appealing. Although I do agree that Waha rose is absolute garbage... But I never throw out any tobacco. There is always someone who would be grateful to get it as a present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Rly Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Recently I tried Al Waha Jasmine and Al Waha Memories. My friends and I figured the Jasmine tasted like we were smoking a bar of soup and the Memories was like feet. Both definately turned me off to Al Waha, but maybe I'm not trying the better stuff.
