Glottis Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted here, but I need some advice as I am on the cusp of purchasing some new tobacco. Basically, I am looking for flavors that are really obvious, preferably fruity. Here's the tobacco I was thinking of getting:Layalina: Grape, Mint, LemonAl Fakher: Cola (my favorite flavor of all time)I'm not really a fan of Tangiers (sorry, man) and the brands I tend to like are AF, AA, and Layalina. I would really like a strong lemon that is extremely recognizable as lemon, and I'm in need of a nice, natural-tasting mint that is strong but not headache-inducing (AA mint is my current favorite). Anyone have any advice?Setup: QT w/ 3 kings coals.Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornkitten42 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i think aw has a really good lemon. as for mint, af has a good mint that wont knock you on your butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostafii Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I would deffinitly recomend the Al Waha Pina Colada. It's really fruity, I think it almost tastes like a fruit punch flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aronparsons Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Layalina has a really good lemon; it was my favorite flavor of theirs. Al Fakher has a strong mint, maybe too strong by itself though (not headache inducing though!); I prefer Tangiers mint to it, but it was still quite good. Your best bet will be to pick up 50g packs of the flavors from the various brands; it's really hit and miss on flavors between brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allia22 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) AF isn't really a natural mint, it struck me as being a more candy-like mint. I tried to use it to clear my hookah of the AW double apple nausea-inducing anise flavor and it didn't touch it, instead it gave it a sweet minty undertone because the anise was so powerful But yeah, if I'd had it with a clean hookah I'd be ALL over it Edited March 9, 2007 by Allia22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks for the tips. I have tried AF mint before and not been a big fan of it because I also think that it tastes kinda synthetic, if you know what I mean. I generally don't buy AW tobacco because I feel like a very small price jump (to Layalina) gets you a lot better quality of smoke, but maybe I will try AF lemon and, I vaguely remember liking the lemon in the past. As for the pina colada, I will probably stay away from that because I am looking for extremely recognizable flavors- and I think that even with the best pina colada flavor people won't be able to put their finger on what it is easily.

HAHkoo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i love layalina mint! its very strong. its a real nasal de-congester. lol uh layalina grape isn't all that good its really candy like. could compare it to dimatape cough syrup... layalina peach and raspberry i would highly recommend if you want mouth watering juicy flavor-ness. hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try the peach, because it seems like peach is a pretty easy flavor to reproduce (for any brand) and I haven't had peach in a while.. Oddly enough I have tried the raspberry and even though I really liked it, I found it to taste very... chocolatey for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sicklecow Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you haven't ordered yet, I recommend Al Waha Strawberry. I know you said you don't really like AW, but this stuff is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Hookah-Hookah lemonade is intensely lemony. Stay away from 5 Star... just stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I forgot to mention, it would be best if the stuff is (a) available in a small pack and (B) found on www.hookahcompany.com . They have the best prices and fastest shipping to where I am. Edited March 9, 2007 by Glottis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagelessdude Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Layalina peach is the best. Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxOR541 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Try romman's lemon. I would say that AF's lemon is a bit like a lemon meringe, Havana's (also excellent by the way,) is like a lemon lime with a bit of vanilla, and romman lemon is like pure fresh lemon. The romman flavors can be hit or miss, but man their lemon is spot on.Also I have to recommend havana eskindarani apple, and havana banana-honey for great, sweet fruity flavors. All three of these are some of the most pleasant smokes I have had.Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
