Purplepotatoe Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 This is a question that I really want to find out. If you smoke fantasia every now and then you probably know what I mean. The flavor just doesn't really match the smoke. Sorta hard to explain I guess what I mean as we all taste differently. I guess saying its a chemical in which I know Stuie has a keen taste for, in which we are about the same as I go with his reviews most of the time anyway. Just curious if anyone knows an answer or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 havent tried fantasia yet..i just cant bring myself to pay $19 for only 200g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepotatoe Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I can only buy 2 shishas locally and Fantasia is one. The other is Jewels and its garbage, sure its better then nothing, but nothing is sometimes a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'd order online. Fantasia to me is good sometimes, but alot of times it taste chemically and does leave a taste in my mouth. Try out some Fusion if you want some subtle flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Fantasia Raspberry Kamakaze and Adios Motherfucker are both very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo_Master Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I get the chemical flavor from the lighter fruit flavors - mango, peach, raspberry, etc... But most of the flavors are much better than SB by a long shot, because SB is just SWIMMING in chemical flavoring, so much so that the original flavor is drowned out or muted. At least fantasia isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 They all sorta have that taste to them. Some flavors it's not that bad though, the only one coming to mind right now being blueberry. Good flavor by the way, not that I'd spend the money on it though.

Genie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I've only tried Fantasia Pumpkin Spice so far and I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to get a bigger container of it. Tastes more of spice than pumpkin and gave me a wild craving for pumpkin pie. I liked the Pumpkin Spice enough to want to try some more Fantasia.

ilikemyusername Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I know what you mean about fantasia, its like the flavor is added differently or something, I don't care too much for it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if anyone knows an answer or not.Is it like a perfumy background taste? I tried Fantasia for the first time the other night excited about trying the Pumpkin Spice. It smelled wonderful, but there was this background taste, kinda perfumy that was bugging me... the overall flavor was pretty good though and i finished the bowl. I have 2 more flavors to try and I'm hoping that same background flavor is not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotsi95 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Fantasia makes SOME great flavors, the ones that come to mind are Blueberry, Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, Candy Cane, and Pink Lemonaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Personally, I love Fantasia, and SB, because they're both honey based and they're treated slightly differently. My personal fav flavors from fantasia are: Purple Haze, Cupid's Arrow, and Pink Lemonaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Based on the 5-6 flavors I have tried in Fantasia, I find it to be the worst shisha I've ever tried. In terms of its artificialness, it makes SB look like organic wheatgrass juice.Seriously, I think that waxy, plasticy, chemical taste has got to be a combination of the oversaturation of artificial coloring and flavoring. I'd compare the flavor to those wax soda-bottle candies that you chew on to get the syrup out. The only thing they have going for them is their packaging.STAY AWAY!!

Stuie Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 There are some redeeming flavors.Honestly I don't know why but I find the the chemical taste is less in the 50g packs than in the jars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Honey based sheeshas often seem to have that "gap" in the flavor that creates that perception. I have no idea why. Al Waha used to be that way to some degree. Romman seems to have avoided it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember questioning how any self-respecting smoker could ever possibly give that stuff a positive review. But to each their own, I guess.IMO, Fantasia is marketed and appeals to those same people who like SB and think the only good tobaccos are ones named after some sort of alcoholic beverage.
