Bubble tries Hookahhookahooboobadoo!

[MR Bubble]

Ahhhh, now I know how to drive Mathazar crazy and keep him on the edge of his seat. Sorry for the delays. I haven't felt too great the past couple days. I've been going to bed at 8:00 PM and just felt all messed up. I will try tonight. I really want to do this one.
See ya tonight.
MR Bubble

[Mathazar]

Hahahaha......you know me pretty well 

Sorry you're feelin so bad man.  Don't be smokin ma'assel if you're feelin so bad

We can wait for your next review when you're feelin better......Ugh, waiting

[Mathazar]

Arrrgggg........waiting & waiting & waiting 

[MR Bubble]

Okay dude. I'm about to get up and go load up on some Hookahhookah melon. So, hold on a few minutes.
My, oh my.
What else can I say? This is really tasty. The cut is the same as the other ones. I won't bore you with that or the fact that this is just swimming in its sauce. The smell is like cantalope that's fermented.
Smoking it is an explosion of melon! However, it tastes as if there were half a base of alcohol mixed with the water. This is very, very sweet that is easily identified as it's name's sake. A no-brainer. The taste of the tobacco is over-powered by melon and alcohol. Alcohol? Well, that's what it tastes like to me. A real powerful taste that get's kind of weird. But hey, the melon is the dominating taste. But this alcohol tasting thing is just not right since I didn't pour anything other than water in there. Other than that, this is a wondeful smoke. What tobacco I do taste is definately the same Virginia tobacco. It irritates my throat slightly like I'm laying on my back with a cheek full of cotton-bowl chewing tobacco, but nothing like the apple experience. So, let's get down to business.
Flavor:  Wow. a melon that slaps me in the melon!
Smoke density:  Right in the ol' kisser. Let's you know there is more than fumes you are inhaling. Not quite as thick as I like to see, but hey, with a flavor like this, who needs a ton of cotton?
Buzz factor: Now I know how Ham the Chimp felt. May have to excuse myself at any time.
Nose-hitability: Don't try it. Caused temporary blindness in my right eye. 7 carpet tacks is on the far right of extreme.
General feeling of wellness: Do not give this to a newby unless he/she likes inhaling stale cigars with a wad of redman chewing tobacco. The reason being, this is not smooth. Maybe my holes aren't quite right for this. Maybe I'm a sissy-man (I don't think so as I'm the one to pioneer ouzo in the vase with Nakhla double apple) but this tobacco does something to me. I don't know if it's the Virginia tobacco or if something went wrong with the sauce, but this is heap powerful brew.
Closing thoughts:  Wow. (again) If you want an extreme slap of melon on the melon, this is the go-to massell. After about 10 minutes when this stuff gets warmed up, look out. A burst of melon like never before seen. The sweetness just runs down your shirt. But there is some demon at work in the mix with that alcohol taste and the irritation it causes. Someone at Hookahhookah had the wrong execution of the right idea: lots of melon flavor but too much on the tobacco (can that be the culprit?) strength. An extreme burst of flavor with an extreme blast of something else in the mix. Not an everyday smoke for me, but one for when I get bored with the machine. I now need a tall glass of water.
Squirming on the floor,
MR Bubble

[Mathazar]

I was just kidding,  by the way,  with my previous post 

Now onto my question.  You must have Extra-Sensory Perception to
be picking-up all that alcohol in the flavor,  because all I get
when I smoke this stuff is all that WONDERFUL Melon Sweetness you were
talking about  .  Yes, 
when you put your nose directly in the jar,  your brain starts to
fry,  but I don't get it at all in the flavor dept. 
But,  then again,  I also put a TON of icecubes in my jar
with the water,  so if there IS an alcohol sensation,  I'm
not getting it probably because of the coolness in the smoke.  I
don't know.  From your reviews,  I sense that you can pick
out flavors that aren't even there.  Like trying to find a needle
in a haystack,  but you being the only person that knows how to
find it.  I'm not criticizing you MR B,  I'm just bewildered
as to how you get an alcohol sensation from the smoke,  because I
don't sense that at all.  The Melon is a FANTASTIC flavor in the
Hookah-Hookah line-up.  Though,  I do recall you saying that
you liked it,  but you were just picking-up weird flavors. 
Honestly,  the only flavor I get from smoking this ma'assel is
Cantalope Melon,  and in a BIG WAY!!!  . 
The only reason I EVER cough with ANY ma'assel is when it starts
burning,  and then I immediately stop smoking.  But,  I
just pack a little over half a bowl,  I poke enough holes in the
center to surround the coal,  and I poke holes thru the bottom for
a better draw,  and right now I'm smoking the Melon with
Icecubes.  I'm about 10 minutes into the smoke and it's sweet and
melony.  The icecubes REALLY bring out the flavor,  in my
opinion

I don't get buzzes from Hookah-Hookah.......EVER!!!  Perhaps that
because of how often I smoke,  being around 5 to 10 times a
day,  I'm probably just used to the nicotine.  By the
way,  I'm getting TONS of beautiful smoke.  You must be using
a sh*tty charcoal to be getting all these weird flavors.  And MR
Bubble,  please don't take offense by my comments,  this is
nothing more than a critique of your review.  The kind of charcoal
I've been using is The Lord Natural Wooden Coals. They're completely
flavorless and odorless.  VERY GOOD CHARCOAL.  And they're
triangular in shape,  so they don't roll off the bowl like regular
natural wood finger coals.

Anyway,  I LOVE the Melon,  and so did King Mo in his review
of it.  And I sense that you love it too,  but you're
overly-critical of the alcohol that they obviously mixed the tobacco
with.  I mean,  I accept the fact that they mixed it with
alcohol,  because it BLOWS me away when I sniff it,  but I'm
not picking-up any alcohol in the flavor,  at all.

Just my 2 cents 

Hope you're feeling MUCH better,  MR Bubble 

[xblakex]

I definitely know what Bubble is talking about. I'm a new smoker (just got my hookah last week) and I ordered 3 different kinds of tobacco before my hookah arrived. I get a nice buzz from the other tobacco, but the other night my roommate and I tried the hookah-hookah hazlenut, and it wrecked my world. Both of us had to stop smoking after about 20 minutes and we had stomach aches for the rest of the night. Definitely not for the feint of heart.

[Mathazar]

I've been smoking this sh*t for around 3 months now and I've NEVER
gotten a stomach ache. Maybe you're burning the tobacco or
just aren't used to smoking yet.

[cypress]

Mathazar, you might want to talk to your sales rep and suggest strongly
they should have sampler packs. I have been seeing mixed reviews on
hookah hookah. I am on the fence right now to buy a big order from
them. I know they are coming out with 10 more flavors but I fear that I
might have the same experience you had in December with the Margarita.

On another note. I think they should be a little bit more competative
on their prices. Their tabacco is domestic and there should be less
overhead in shipping, duty fees than imported brands.  I don't
remember the exact price of a 250 gram but I think its around 10-12
bucks. They also sell Al Waha for 10 bucks. South Smoke offers it for 7
bucks and free shipping over 50 dollars. Heck, South Smoke has Al
Fakher for 10 bucks. Being out of stock on their own product does not
make them look very hot either. I know they are a new company but I
think they need a nudge in the right direction.

1) if you read mr bubbles reviews of this tobacco, and Mathazars reviews, you will see that Apple and Hazlenut are both flavourless. Mr Bubble and Mathazar are both experienced smokers, and half of the packs that mathazar smoked, are apparantly flavourless. Also, the first too reviews are described as "very mild" or some other comments are made to sugar coat it. e.g. The tobacco taste is great?
2) what is established, is a) the flavour is almost non-existant, and Mr Bubbles reviews, and half of mathazars reviews confirm this. the tobacco burns out quicker than the very cheapest tobacco, this can be seen from both my and mathazars reviews especially.
3) the Melon is an excellent flavour.
 
Just a neutral perspective
if a tobacco is flavourless, and the only thing going for it is the 'tobacco flavour' and it aint zaghlool. Then there is no way it's worthy of a good review. We all pay money for tobacco, and it is our responsibility when we review, to minimise the loss of money for those wasting it. This is why I have condemned many fumari flavours so much.
The price of 10 dollars is not too bad for the melon at all. It is an excellent flavour with the only flaw being the length of time a head lasts. For the others, it seems as if 10 dollars is a big risk, especially as every batch varies from the next. (something that doesnt happen even with the crappiest of companies).
 compared with romman and fumari (esp romman) who charge astronomical prices for sub-fakher tobacco, it is a suitable price.
 

[Mathazar]

I've given-up completely on Fumari.  Cypress the price over at
Hookah-Hookah is  $9.95,  and I'd say that for SOME of their
tobacco,  that's pretty competitive.  AF has flavors that I
HATE.  Romman has certain flavors that I HATE. 
Fumari......well,  there should be NO questions about
Fumari,  as ALL but ONE of their flavors SUCK

And Hookah-Hookah has certain flavors that completely BLOW!!! 
Flavors that I wouldn't spend a penny on.  I know that I said in
previous review that the Apple was great,  and then other reviews
of the Apple I posted that is sucked,  and yet other reviews I
said that it was just okay.  I just opened a fresh jar of
Apple,  and it ROCKS!!! It tastes just like FRESH Green
Apples.  I'm giving it a "9" for perfection THIS TIME,  as it
would have gotten a 10 if it had been consistantly GREAT in the
past.  The truth of the matter with Hookah-Hookah is that their
product is inconsistant in quality on every order.  The first time
I ordered Hazelnut,  it was PURE PERFECTION!!!   
So,  based on how GREAT it was the first time,  my second
order was for 5 jars,  and they were completely flavorless, and
Hookah-Hookah wouldn't give me a refund or exchange because they don't
do that for tobacco.  Once it's sold,  it's YOURS,  they
won't take it back.  I'm smoking this Apple right now and it is a
TRUE MASTERPIECE of an Apple flavor.  It's TRULY reminiscent of
eating a fresh Apple.  I wish ALL my orders of Apple had been this
good.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,  EVERY company has bad
flavors.  Hookah-Hookah's consistantly BEST flavors are: 
Margarita (they reformulated it recently and got rid of the Menthol
taste),  Pineapple,  Melon,  and Grape (this flavor is
very subtle,  but worth putting on this list if you love the TRUE
flavor of Concord Grapes)   
The flavors that tend to be inconsistant in quality are: 
Hazelnut,  Apple,  and Vanilla.  The flavors that just
downright SUCK are:  Cherry, Menthol,  and Strawberry. 

So you there you have it.  If you wanna place a BIG order with
Hookah-Hookah, you can be assured,  in my honest opinion, 
that Margarita, Pineapple,  Melon,  and Grape will be flavors
that you will be happy with.

So in a nutshell,  NO COMPANY IS PERFECT. 

But,  the difference between Hookah-Hookah and companies like AF
or Romman is that Hookah-Hookah is a relatively new company that is
working VERY hard on building a solid foundation with both their
Hookahs and their Ma'assel.  They've hit some roadblocks along the
way with their flavors,  but they're working hard on improving
those flavors and adding new ones.  No other company I've smoked
the ma'assel of has put SO much initiative into improving their
flavors,  as Hookah-Hookah has.  Sofar they've reformulated
the Apple and Margarita.  They've instituted new packaging, 
whereas before they just had ma'assel inside sealed Ziplock
baggies,  inside of airtight plastic jars.  But,  now
they have the Ziplock Baggies inside of heat-sealed plastic bags to
maintain the freshness of the product.  You see,  I don't
think that Hookah-Hookah intentionally puts out a bad ma'assel, 
such as Hazelnut or Apple,  what I think it happening with those
flavors is that Hookah-Hookah will make a fresh batch,  package
it,  and then let it sit around for awhile until it's
bought.  That is where I think the freshness of the ma'assel
starts to disappear.  If Hookah-Hookah packaged their ma'assel
like AF or Romman,  they would have a consistantly fresh and
flavorful tobacco.  But they don't.  I believe they're
working on this project,  but it just hasn't happened yet. 
Until then,  it's likely that the freshness of the tobacco may
suffer.  But,  I think these new heat-sealed plastic bags may
help,  as in the case of this Apple that I just opened-up that
tasted like I was biting into a FRESH Granny Smith Apple

Hookah-Hookah will very soon be in the process of changing the cut of
the ma'assel to more resemble that of AF,  so that the syrup won't
drip out of the tobacco so easily,  and the consumer will have a
longer smoking time.

The other great thing about Hookah-Hookah is that the customer can
either call-in or email them with a reccommendation for new
flavors.  Such as I did with MY reccommendation for
Butterscotch.  They took my reccommendation and will be releasing
it in April along with their 10 new flavors.  Also,  in
February or March they're supposed to have 10 new flavors.  It was
supposed to happen in February, but I was told within the last week
that they are still experimenting with the flavors,  and they
don't want to release them until they're ABSOLUTELY ready. 
They're not going to release all 10 flavors at once,  they're
going to make them available in groups of 2.  The first 2 flavors
will be Kiwi and Pina Colada,  which I was told will probably be
available within the next week or two.

Is AF or Romman releasing any new flavors?  I haven't heard any
rumors of that. Does Romman and AF sell really cool Hookahs with the
"Auto-Seal System".  Hell No!  Hookah-Hookah will in the near
future be releasing a multi-hose polished stainless steel rotator
hookah with the "Auto-Seal System".  Is that going to ROCK or
what? 

Hookah-Hookah is a brand new small company,  owned by
www.SaharaSmoke.com,  who are trying VERY hard to become a
SUCCESSFUL company.  I'll admit that maybe with their ma'assel
they're not trying hard enough.  I'm going to call them tomorrow
and complain about the freshness of the Hazelnut again,  and I'm
going to reccommend that they use a packaging process. That's the
beauty of doing business with Hookah-Hookah,  they actually take
notes and listen to Customer Feedback.

I have HIGH hopes for Hookah-Hookah,  because I believe they're
striving to be a better company,  rather than just putting-out a
mediocre product,  they're working HARD to improve their product
and add additional products.  I've been smoking this Apple for 30
minutes and I'm STILL getting a strong tart Apple flavor. 
So,  it is my belief that the new heat-sealed plastic bags are
what have improved the flavor of the ma'assels that I've been
smoking.  Each flavor that was packed in those heat-sealed bags
have been VERY fresh and flavorful.  The nine jars of Hazelnut
that I recently received did NOT have those heat-sealed bags.  I
know King Mo might say that the Melon didn't have the heat-sealed bags
and was still a very flavorful smoke,  but I believe that the
reason the melon preserves it's freshness so well is because I think
they add alcohol to it as a preservative.  I don't think they do
that with the other flavors.  At least I haven't sensed any
alcohol in the other flavors.

So,  in conclusion to my rant,  I will continue to be a
Hookah-Hookah customer,  and I will look forward to buying a new
Hookah from them in the near future,  along with some hopefully
AWESOME new flavors. 

Once again,  those of you looking to make a BIG Hookah-Hookah
purchase should look to these flavors for HIGH quality and a BURST of
fabulous flavor:  Margarita, Pineapple,  Melon,  and
Grape ( which is very subtle in flavor,  but still good). 
The Apple, which was packed in those Heat-Sealed bags has been smoking
for the past 35 minutes like a CHAMP!!!   
And,  though my recent order of Hazelnut sucked, I'm tempted to
make a new order for some Hazelnut that has been packaged with those
heat-sealed bags.  I truly believe that Hookah-Hookah has the
capacity to get back to it's former GLORY with the Hazelnut,  they
just have to package it differently,  in my opinion,  as has
been the case with the Apple flavor,  which I'm DEFINITELY
ordering again 

Can't wait for that Watermelon and Cinnamon to be released 

[MR Bubble]

Hehehehe. I'm having a blast right now. Was really surprised to receive my "critique of your review." Surprised because I was under the assumption that I was to do a complete MR Bubble style review, giving "my honest opinion" of my take on Hookahhookah tobacco.
"From your reviews,  I sense that you can pick out flavors that aren't even there.  Like trying to find a needle in a haystack,  but you being the only person that knows how to find it."
Well, if I see the dog run under the coffee table, hunkered down, smell doo-doo, see doo-doo in the hallway, get down on my hands and knees and sniff it, stick my finger in it and come to the conclusion it is dog poop, would I be wrong to say, "You pooped on my floor?" It was only a few years ago that I was able to go to a nice resteraunt in Germany and taste the most amazing sauce and recreate it in my kitchen after a couple attempts. I don't think my taste is very skewed. Even though I understand one person's perception of something may not be the same as another's, it is not fair to assume, or accuse one of tasting things that do not exist. Especially when he is asked to be perfectly honest in an opinion. I honestly think a massell doesn't need to be a perfect rendition of the fruit/animal/vegetable/mineral/whatever it's supposed to emulate. Shisha smoking sometimes plays on our emotions by reminding us of a flavor and teases our senses. Sometimes it tastes like something entirely different from one person to another. Hazelnut is a perfect example of this where it started tasting like custard (to me) as the bowl was wearing out. Of all the different brands and flavors I've smoked I've found the ones that DO taste closest to their advertised flavor get boring fast. There is little left to the imagination to tease the senses, causing an emotional trigger.
"I'm not criticizing you MR B,  I'm just bewildered as to how you get an alcohol sensation from the smoke,  because I don't sense that at all." --Well, maybe we'll just change the name of the forum to "The People's Republic of the Hookahforum." The loyalty oath we all sign upon registering will include the phrase "Da Comrade, the flavor is suitable for my consumption." Gimmie a break.
"You must be using a sh*tty charcoal to be getting all these weird flavors." I've used many types of charcoal. A lot you have probably never heard of. What I use are the ones that have consistently given me the best results compared to any other I have tried. Let's not deny a flavor exists just because you don't taste it. According to you, so many brands and flavors that are liked and appreciated by others are "crap/sucks/blows," that may give someone the impression that YOUR taste is a little skewed or your charcoal may be a little "sh*tty." But, not for me to decide. We don't share taste buds.
"Anyway,  I LOVE the Melon,  and so did King Mo in his review of it.  And I sense that you love it too,  but you're overly-critical of the alcohol that they obviously mixed the tobacco with.  I mean,  I accept the fact that they mixed it with alcohol,  because it BLOWS me away when I sniff it,  but I'm not picking-up any alcohol in the flavor,  at all."--Now, let me get this strait: I was not supposed to give my review of what I tasted, but my review of what you and King Mo tasted, right? Got it. And we can both agree that there is or may be alcohol mixed in with this. Why in Gods green world do you think I shouldn't taste the alcohol then? If it is there, and I'm not smoking 10 bowls a day I better be tasting it or else hookah smoking may not be too enjoyable for me any longer.
Closing thought. Don't ever offer me a sample of anything to review if you are going to criticize my honest opinion of it. I will not be so critical as to call someone else's favorite brand or flavor crap, suggest they taste things that don't exist, or suggest they use "sh*tty" coals. In other words: If you don't want the truth, don't ask the question.
I understand, you may be receiving "favors/compensation" for promoting someone's product. Very good. I understand how promotion by a third party is useful. But over-selling is worse that not selling at all. If I staggered down to the Chevy dealership and test drove a corevette and the man asked "well, how did you like it?" And I responded "Damn, wickedly fast, but there are these little squeaks and rattles coming from the back," what will happen if he starts informing me that I don't understand cars, or I missed the whole point or he doesn't hear them and I must be hearing things? Think he is going to make a sale, or even a referal? I wouldn't set foot on a GM car lot again.
Moral of the example: Don't promote to the point you become insulting, over-defensive of their product and piss-off half of the forum. The acient Egyptians believed your soul would pass to paradise only if your heart was lighter than a feather when weighed upon your demise. I think they had a valid point there.
Yes I am feeling better, thanks. And thanks again for the massell. Unfortunately I'm going to do a bowl of Nakhla double apple to really tick evryone off.

[Mathazar]

You're absolutely right,  MR Bubble,  and I'm sorry for my
comments and accusations.  I really wasn't intentionally trying to
insult or offend you in ANY way whatsoever.  My comments were
meant to be constructive,  but in the end caused you to
UNDERSTANDABLY take offense toward them.  I apologise for my
rudeness and lack of respect for your views,  and the respect that
you undoubtedly deserve for expressing your honest opinions of this
ma'assel.

I truly hope you'll continue to share your reviews of the remaining
flavors you have available and that you'll overlook my tainted opinions
of your review.  I feel like a real asshat for making those
comments and for causing you to have a lower opinion of me.  I DO
have a GREAT amount of respect for you,  and your reviews of the
samples I sent you are what I look forward to everyday.  I wish
you smoked more often so that you could write reviews of this tobacco
sooner than later,  but I also believe anything worth reading is
worth waiting for.  And your review display a STELLAR amount of
detail and quality. 

I know my apology is late and that I should never have made those
comments in the first place.  I know you have a lower opinion of
me now,  and that makes me feel bad,  but I deserve to be
looked down upon for the comments I made and the disrespect I showed
you.  I don't expect you to praise me for this apology, 
because quite frankly,  I don't deserve it and I believe that
you're too proud of an individual to lower your standards of respect to
my level after showing you SO little respect.

Your good taste and witty sense of humor are what make your reviews
so  interesting.  And I hope that from this point on you'll
forget about my comments and continue to review the samples I sent
you,  and totally disregard what I might have seen as constructive
criticism.  I took a highschool course one semester on Critical
Thinking,  and the premise behind the class was learning how to
constructively-criticize other views and opinions.  The teacher
said that is was meant to be a course on learning how to argue a
point.  I guess I didn't learn much from that course, 
because I obviously failed MISERABLY in critiquing your review.  I
shouldn't have critiqued it in the first place.  It's your
thread,  and you were doing me a favor by reviewing those
flavors,  and I basically sh*t all over your review,  and for
that and for the disrespect I showed you,  I'm deeply sorry!

Please continue your reviews,  as I'm certain that others look
forward to them as much as I do.  But,  I'll understand if
you decide not to do any more reviews.

Cheers MR B 

[Mathazar]

Hmmm.....it's too bad MR Bubble isn't posting anymore reviews of
Hookah-Hookah,  because in my opinion the best of his flavors
would have been reviewed next

[King Mo]

damn, since when did a difference of opinion need an essay.

you guys should really be alot more laid back about your online
posting. It's just a computer screen, and although there may be very
nice people behind the screen, you have to understand that a difference
of opinion when its 'typed on screen' can seem alot harsher and severe
than when it is expressed in person.

this is why you have to give a bit of room for 'getting offended'
because typed comments cannot really reflect true emotion, no matter
how much of the little yellow emoticons you can use.


In my case, I dont really care whether you bother to read this or not,
it wont change my life in any way, but you guys should really be more
'thick-skinned' when it comes to online comments.

[MR Bubble]

I gave up on playing with my new Syrian hookah for now. I guess it is a pretty ornament for somewhere in the livingroom, so I am back to checking out the rest of the hookahhookah flavors. Tonight , I opened the pineapple. I even washed one of my hoses for the occasion. I'll have to get up with NERV about that one.
Anyway, this stuff smells just like canned pineapple mixed with tobacco. Or what I would imagine it to smell like mixed with tobacco. The cut is tha same as the others. It's so fine it's almost annoying. But it's kinda cool to have something so fine.
Smoking it is a DR Jeckel and MR Hyde ordeal. The pineapple flavor is just so yummy, and I say this as someone whoe dearly loves pineapple. One of my favorite fruits. I can't say it tastes like pineapple exactly, but hey, you're smoking the thing. Nothing will ever taste exactly like the substance it's intended to mimmic. So, who cares? But for massel, it is near spot on to pineapple candy.
Enter MR Hyde. If only Hookah hookah could use a tobacco imported from wherever the Middle East massel makers get theirs, I would be like the cartoon dog who gets his doggy goodies. You know, wrapping his arms around his head and sighing and floating up in a dreamy frenzy of.........well, you get the flick. The Virginia tobacco just has a strange, off taste that throws a wrench into such a wonderful precision machine. Pitty. Still get that sensation of swallowing a few drops of Red Man chwing tobacco. Well, a taste kinda like a filterless Pall Mall. But don't get me wrong. Some people really like that taste. No problem. I love this pineapple brew, but the tobacco is just a little off-color (but note: it does not over-power the flavor of whatever flavoring they use for the pineapple flavor. It is a great combination of flavoring and tobacco.) I'll put it to you like this: There are people who like Splash and sultan. The tobacco flavor is comparable to theirs, but for me, the flavoring of the intended substance to mimic is so much nicer. They did well. So, having said that, We'll break out the cartoons.
Flavor:  Oh, pineapple lovers, you won't have visions of juice dripping down you shirt, but you will have wonderful Jolly Rancher dreams! If you like the tobacco Splash and Sultan use, you should get along with this.
Smoke density: Not the thickest out there, but it is plenty good.
Buzz Factor: Doesn't do an Irish jig on my head like melon and apple, but it does what it should be doing: making me a kinder and gentler me.
Nose-Hitability: Not worth contaminating the hose tip. "0" carpet tack factor, but gives you the sensation of losing a food-fight in a produce market (pineapple up the nose!)
Final take: I like it. I just want to be in the group who enjoys the American tobacco used. I wonder if the ultra fine cut has any role in this. But the pieapple candy flavor will have a pull on me many nights while deciding what to smoke.
Cheers,
MR Bubble

[Mathazar]

Great review,  MR Bubble,  you hit the nail right on the head
with the Pineapple.  I actually read your review right after you
posted it,  I should have responded  .

Still looking forward to that Margarita review pal 

Watermelon is actually one of the few New Hookah-Hookah flavors that
I'm desperately waiting to arrive.  I'm sure,  after tasting
the Melon and Pineapple that the Watermelon is going to ROCK!!! 
So few brands actually have good Watermelon,  with the exception
of Fumari,  that it really makes my mouth water just thinking
about smoking some.  Ahhhh.....Since I don't have any Juicy
Watermelon to smoke,  I'm gonna have to light-up a bowl of regular
Melon, Margarita, and Pineapple,  to pass the time until some
Watermelon finally becomes available hopefully sometime in the next

Happy Friday Hookah-dudes and Hookah-dudets!
First of all, I want to say Bless your Gizzards for some of you folks checking in to my road trip today. Now, I want to do the Margarita review I had promised. When I first received the box you may remember I thought it smelled like pine oil. The stuff we always used in the Army to clean latrines, floors, hell, you name it, they clean with it and that stuff turned my stomach from day #1. But when I opened it up to actually smoke it, I changed my tune. Changed it real fast. Smells like a Margarita. Go figure... Understand, I have not had a margarita in so many years I can't remember the last time I did. But I don't need to have crystalline memory to understand what I was smelling. You have no idea how much tequila I've drank over the years. No idea, I promise. Surprised I'm alive right now. This stuff had the scent of tequila and lime just oozing from it. No need to talk about the cut and juice: Hookah Hookah seems to be very consistent in this department
Smoking it gives me a real sweet dredging through tons of sweet limes. I am floored by the lime here. Very good on their part. Now, enter the Virginia tobacco. You knew I was going to get there didn't you? See, it's not THAT hard to figure me out. That stuff just gets in the way of what would be the ultimate flavor! Ahhhhhhh! But you know what? That stout tobacco taste, with the limes mimmicks a sence of tequila. I've drank so much tequila it almost turns my stomach and the stout tobacco gives me the sensation. Hold on now, and don't think I'm criticizing that in a negative way. As I said before, a lot of people seem to like the taste of that tobacco in their massell. And they should. They should enjoy it as it is a world-class tobacco. I just don't get along with it (and I'm a 20+ year cigarette smoker) for some reason. Let's look at the flip side: If the tobacco wasn't so stout, some may be able to taste the tequila. Yes, I loose me too.
Flavor Who really cares about the V-tobacco at this point? It seems to mimmick the sense of tequila, but not actually taste like it. But who really wants a tequila flavored shisha? There's one for the "Top 10 flavors you hope they never come out with" list. The great, big was for how the wonderful lime plays against the V-tobacco giving it the sense of cheap tequila. Wow. It works this time!
Smoke desity: This one really does the trick. Much thicker than the other flavors from this company.
Buzz Factor: I'm noT AS htink as YOu Drunki aRE. Huh?
Nose Hitability: It tickles! Well, maybe a 1-1/2 carpet tack rating, but it does something pretty cool. Through the mouth, I taste mostly the sweet side of the limes, and through the nose I sense the slight sour. So, therefore, one shoulsd immediately follow the other.
General feeling of wellness: I gotta go "number-2!" But I don't want to leave my hookah right now. This stuff is way cool!
Closing thoughts: Damn. What I thought was going to be the worst of the 5 flavors sent, I find this one to be the best. What an idiot I must be.
I prepared my smoke a little diferently for this one too. Instead of the holes I punched in the foil for the other flavors, I decided to go with my standard 1/8" thin slashes (done with the tip of my tongs) I normally use for Nakhla flavors. It seems to have worked well in this study. Okay, hookah done now. I go now. Be good and I'll be back in about 5 minutes! 
In ecstasy,

Well, I'm going to go ahead and put my closure on this thread (for me).  Overall, I rate Hookah Hookah tobacco as a brand that has so much potential and obviously not enough brains to figure out what to do with it. From what I've read from some, I'd say they have no consistency in their brew and don't really care if they get it or not. Pitty. A couple of their flavors are really good, but they all seem to suffer from a tobacco that is unorthodox to massell. Splash and Sultan do it to me as well. All three are made here in the U.S. and it has me really wondering if Shisha tobacco made here can be called massell. What do you think? We know unorthodox can be a good thing. That's what makes a certain brand/flavor have character. To be way off main stream is cool for some. It's cool for me. That's what makes some brands "pop" for me that repulses others. Can we actually call American made massell "massell?" This kind of "off" thinking from Hookah Hookah just isn't what keeps me awake at night. Elvis talking to me through my closet door usually does that. But not this. But, there are a couple flavors that I really enjoyed and at least 2 that I see myself ordering again. The following is a list of the Hookah Hookah flavors I smoked, in the order of my preference for them, with 1. being the bestests and 5. being the least favorite, or worstests:
1. Margarita--Just reviewed it. Loved it even with the quirky Virginia tobacco.
2. Hazelnut-- I just have to love it for reminding me of gourmet hazelnut coffee. Gave me a feeling of fullness.
3.  Pineapple-- Should be a tie for #2 with Hazelnut.
4.  Melon--Wonderful melon sweetness and actual flavor, but some components don't belong in it and that really broke my heart.
5.  Apple-- Needs some work. That is one that has little or no flavor but smells like a fist-full of apple Jolly Ranchers. The stout tobacco is really there too.
Time for bed now. Night.

I do agree that the buzz factor was there. Real strong tabacco taste. I
wished I got that blast of limes like you got.  I might gave to
try it again soon. I wish I could try it tonight but I work shift work
and now its my turn for the night shift.

[Mathazar]

The only night shift that I'm going to be doing in the next 5 minutes
is the one where I lay my head down on my pillow,  close my
eyes,  and dream sweet dreams of Hookah-Hookah Margarita .

Thanks for the review MR B,  they were right on target.  I
can't keep my eyes open annnnnnnnnnny longer,  as I'm quickly
slipping away into slumgeland.

Adios Amigos!  Off to bed I go

Oh, and I forgot the most important part of the thread:
Thank you Mathazer for spending the money for the tobacco & shipping for me to try. Thanks with all my gizzard!
