dmitri926 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey just bought Al Fahker double apple and i found it to be VERY "molasissy" . I smoked it 5 times in one day and there was mollasis dripping down the gromette from the bowl. In addition, when i spilled the water out, it was very yellow. Also, the smoke was too sweet sometimes. Im just comparing this with my experiences with Romman apple and peach. Anyone can tell me if the Al Fahker double apple is usualy like that?

ZooJohnnyZETA Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Indeed Al-Fakher Double Apple is a very wet and extremely sweet tasting massell. I smoked a bowl of it the night before last with my partner so it is still fairly fresh in my memory. I find that with any extremely saucey/wet massell you will have quite a bit of molasses run off dripping down the bowl and or stem after you smoke. It takes a bit of cleaning up, but the enchanced flavor that comes from the ammount of molasses the mix is soaked in makes it all worthwhile in my book. So don't worry Dmitri926, its not just you. Al-Fakher Double Apple is ment to be very sweet and saucey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 I just received 2 containers of AF Double Apple, and I can say with all honesty that Romman is FAR better tasting. AF is smoother, but it's lacking in flavor. It was an ok smoke, but nothing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmitri926 Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Ok damn hehe.. and i just bought 250grams of that stuff too...thanks for the replies, I will probably just stick to Romman in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobbsman Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 My Fakher 2Apples is not really more wet than any other Fakher flavor. In general all flavors are super wet and it is best to clean one's hookah after every session. Because yellow (2Apples, Eskandarany Apple) and red (all other flavors) sauce is dripping everywhere while smoking Fakher. But for 6$ for 250g one gets a very special Tobacco! It is indeed a very smooth and sweet smoking experience. I think it's the kind of "female" 2Apples flavor due to it's sweet licorice taste, while Romman's 2Apples is more the true "male" (more nasty, heavy) smoke. groetjes, tobbsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 One 250gram container? I'm stuck with two 250gram containers Always stick with Romman Double Apple, it tastes just like the liqour Ouzo, and is QUITE awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 it's been a year or so since i had fakher double apple. I'd prefer it to romman to be honest. I almost wish I can swap my romman pack for the fakher one, cos the romman didn't do do it for me. I've smoked 2 heads from the romman pack and dont think i will again.

cypress Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I was was wondering if I should try Al Fakher Double Apple. Looking at the responses I will stick to Romman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmitri926 Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I just tried some double apple al fakher again yesturday. ZooJohnnyZETA is right, you have to clean up eventualy to continue smoking it (clean every 2 bowls?). But overall it was pretty good and long lasting.

Mathazar Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 It's not bad. I mean, if I had nothing else to smoke, it would suffice. But, Romman FAR exceeds my expectations for a GREAT Double Apple. So, I guess my point is, why buy AF Double Apple when you can spend a little bit more on Romman and have the BEST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooJohnnyZETA Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I suppose that all depends on what makes a massell "The Best" for you on a personal level Some like it sweet, others like it savory. Some like more licorice, some like more apple. What makes somthing "The Best" really changes on a person to person basis. But as far as cleaning goes, I would say clean your bowl and bowl grommet inside and out after each smoke. Be sure you change the water and wash out the base every time while your at it. A cleaner hookah means better flavor and better flavor means better smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have to disagree with you on that one mathazar. had some romman double apple today. It's pretty smooth. But it sure aint luxury. a solid double apple flavour, with no 'wow' factor in the slightest. Certainly doesn't justify the 20 dollar pricetag, and to be honest, to me, a similar standard to nakhla (although it lasts longer). just keepin the reviews balanced on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 one little tip which gives you better air flow, and reduces mess, is to rap a strip of tissue (the kitchen variety) around the connection of head to pipe. THis way, it'll block any gaps, and also soak up some of the drips you can get with some tobaccos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
