mushrat Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Finally found something other than Naklah in this berg. My regular tobbacconist happened to have one box of afzal strawberry (we're going to be going over his catalogs this week to see what he can order for me). Anyone else ever tried it? Since I can only compare it to Naklah two apple and..ugh..mixed fruit I don't really know what to think. The overall smoke was great by comparison in both quality of flavor, which lasted a long time and tasted like..well...strawberries. The Ma'asell is much finer chopped than the Naklah and is very very wet. Anyone compare it to what I can expect when i get my alfakher stuff for instance?

Kofod Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Afzal is good quality - definatly better than Nakhla regarding quality. They don't have that many flavours though. So I would regard them premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uselessdreamer1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Naklah and afzal taste about the same. i tryed the strawberry tonight and it was good for a strawberry, but im not a strawberry man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 At my local Med Market, Al Fahker goes for $11.99, and Afzal is only a dollar cheaper. Although I have never personally smoked the stuff, I can guess from price alone that it ranks with the premiums. Guess I should pick up a box sometime.

great glavin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Afzal is in no way a premium brand, the only really good flavor i've tasted from them in the 250g boxes is Aniseed (licorice). The other two were watermelon and pineapple and are presently taking up real estate in my trash can. Also, the afzal in the little plastic sampler packs is usually of lower quality and not worth getting than in the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they sell Al Fahker for just a dollar more. Sorry everyone for giving ignorant advice, just telling from my experiences and surroundings.

mushrat Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Now, I have Afzal strawberry And I think its quite good actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Same here - I would rate the strawberry premium. At the same time I have tasted anis, pineapple and watermelon like glavin and I would share his oppinion on the pineapple and watermelon. So maybe you guys are not disagreeing - just tasted different flavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great glavin Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have only tried the strawberry in the little packages, and even then it was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kofod Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Ok But - The thing about small being worse than big - I don't have the same experience. So how is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 recentally i bought the small packages like glavin, and i thought they were very similar to naklia strawberry. i personally am not a strawberry man, accually when i smoke it it gives me a headache. I thought the smoke was nice and thick, could have been thicker but the place i smoke didnt put ice in the base. also the flavor, like ive said, tasted like naklia. So when i get my own hookah i will experement and see how this brand pars up with "premium" bands like romman and naklia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
