cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 The never ending battle between cheap vs premium. I see this all the time. It's like some one raving about white zinfindale. But like I always say the best glass of wine (or in this case best bowl of ma'assel) is the one you like and buy. Everyone has an opinion on what they like wheather it be cheap or expensive. No matter what, LONG LIVE THE HOOKAH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I tried Al-Waha last night. Strawberry.... It was possibly the worst experience with a hookah ever. I think that the bag was expired. It smelled a little off and I could sleep so i packed up a bowl. I tried with 1 golden coal and got smoke that difussed into nothing as leaving my mouth so i added a second coal and i got a good consistancy of smoke and the taste was not the best for about 5 puffs. At this point i felt like i was going to throw up. Is this typical of Al-Waha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I havent had a bad experience with Al Waha I just have not had an exeptional experience with Al Waha. What did it taste like. Do you think adding the second coal you may have started burning it? Try 1.5 coals or use 1 coal for about 5-7 minutes to get it good and wanrmed up on the bowl.

Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 It tasted like crappy strawberry and no the tobacco didnt start to burn. I would say it tasted like a pour strawberry flavor when the second coal was added. It didnt start to burn i know what that tastes/feels like. I would have given it maybe a 5 if it didnt make me feel like i was going to worship the porcelin gods. It was almost as bad as the day i decided to learn how to do smoke rings. I smoked two bowls to myself back to back and i had never smoked more then like 10 minutes of hookah and 3 hours straight and threw up. But i learned how to blow rings.

cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have had Al Waha Strawberry. It was not sweet nor strong but it was not bad either. I have tried Hookah Hookah Strawberry that Mathazar graciously sent to me and it was pretty good. Read my review, just click my sig and you can see what I though of it. Was this a supposed new batch of stuff? My experience an expired batch has relativly bland taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeh bland is a good way to describe it before the feeling came. It wouldnt surprize me if it was 5 years old. I went into the store and the guy actually told me that the hookah stuff was crappy in the store and i went in a month later and i dont think a single pack of tobacco had been sold because the display was the exact same not a single pack out of place.

cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 If I recall, there is a date that should be on the jar lid of Al Waha. It is in the form of 3/05 3/07. Suposedly it has a 2 year sealed shelf life and a 2 month open shelf life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 it was a 50g pack and i looked for a date but i couldnt find one it does say valid for 2 years. I think it may date back to the days before they were required to put an actually dates on packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highpockets Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Al Waha Jasmine is the vilist tobacco since Nakhla Mixed Fruit. My opinion on the subject is that almost every brand has stuff worth smoking, and stuff that's not worth my time. You've just gotta figure out what's what.

cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Your best bet is to read some of our reviews and order some good stuff online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeh im trying to compile a sorta wish list i had such a good experience with the rommon that i order one of every flavor. I think the next brand ill try is Al-Fahker that seems to be one of the better brands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Be careful with AF, not all the flavors are that great. I would read some of cypress's and King Mo's reviews before buying. Personally, I like Orange, but Romman does a better Orange in my opinion. And AF Coconut & Cappuccino are also pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Nice avatar Mathazar. So far Grape, Coconut, Cherry, Cola and Plum have been good. I want to try more flavors but I have a lot of stuff to smoke!!!! I am working on it though. Are you still smoking in the wee hours of the morning?

Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 I dont have anything to smoke but the stuff that just made me sick. My stuff just shipped out today so it should be here next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks If you're referring to me, yes, I smoke all hours of the day. I'm usually in bed by 11:00, but last night I stayed-up smoking until 4am. God, I had the strangest dreams it was unbelieveable. And the most unbelievable part of the dream was that I knew I was dreaming, I even mentioned how cool of a dream this is IN the dream. So as scenarios kept popping-up, I kept on trying to take FULL advantage of the situation because I knew I was dreaming. I wish I could have alot more dreams like that because there were some pretty AWESOME looking women in that dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 did you put something extra in the bowl ? just kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 11, 2005 Author Share Posted March 11, 2005 Mathazar its called lucid dreaming and theres actually ways to practice it and do it more and more and get more control within it. Its just a butt load of fun. I found a pack of Nakhal(might be miss spelled) cherry hidden away that i might try tonight tho im feeling kind of under the weather. Next week 21 packs of rommon is commin to my door along with a chiller hookah with autoseal (u know how hard it is trying to keep your hose sealed and get a headshot on a guy on the other side of the map in halo 2?) my friend bought. I kinda wana pack 5 gram bowls all day long when they arrive just to try them all. A game of Halo a hookah and a screwdriver is pretty much a harem of hot girls away from heaven.

ZooJohnnyZETA Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Shame shame! Since when have people here flamed each other over differences in brand preferenes, Mr. B? Seriously though... I don't know if I could say there was one best brand. I do have my favorite brands (Al-Amir and Al-Fakher) but I think almost every brand out there does at least one or two flavors well. Heck, I think Nakhla's Apple and Mint flavors are great. Their Double Apple is nice, but I still like the smootheness and balance of Al-Amir's better. No offense intended Mr. B, its just me I havnt written out Al-Waha yet either. I very much enjoy the Cola, Cherry, Gum, 5 Star, and Honey flavors from them as well. So what I'm trying to say is that almost every brand has a few nice flavors worth trying in their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reapermanx Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 I think one of the reasons ive liked the rommon flavors better then the others is they are honey based instead of molasses based. What other brands are honey based anyone know a couple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooJohnnyZETA Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hmm... I know there are quite a few honey based massells out there, but the only ones that come to mind at the moment are Al-Waha and Romman. Might need to do a little more research into that one. Personally I don't mind honey based massell if I'm only smoking one bowl, however smoking 2 bowls back to back tends to give me a bit of a headache. I don't seem to get the headache effect with molasses massell though. Then again, everyone responds to things differently so that might just be my body's reaction to it.

Mathazar Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hookah-Hookah is honey-based, and I'm looking extremely forward to their new release of Watermelon, Butterscotch, Cinnamon, Kiwi, Pina Colada, and Jamaican Rum. In total, in about the next 2 months, they'll be releasing 20 new flavors. But my mouth is really watering for that Watermelon. Hopefully it will blow-away Fumari's Watermelon, as Fumari's is QUITE good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
