Cappuccino

[lazria]

Al Fahker Cappuccino

Cut: med to fine, little stems. Wet, but not drippy.

set-up: 33" Egyptian, 30" Syrian
Bowl(s): smiley w/ glass screen and foil (later)
Coal: 2-3 silver tabs or 2 chuncks of cocoshell coals

Smell: VERY STRONG coffee smell, almost like an espresso than a Cappuccino.
Taste: STRONG - way too strong for my tastes, like smoking coffee beans. Had a strange aftertaste upon exhale that kinda reminded me of... fish. The BF did not notice this aftertaste, he LOVES it.

Time: 45-50min +/-10 min
Smoke: med to thick
Buzz: slight

Score: me = 3, BF = 8

I tend to like sweet shisha, BF likes strong bold non-sweet shisha. This was bought for him, and I'm glad he likes it - I don't! Too strong, too overpowering.

We tried some milk, no help. Next time I will add some vanilla extract or maybe some vanilla shisha, see if that smooths it out some.

Al Fakher Cappuccino

Hookah: Egyptian Sultan, cobra hose and Egyptian bowl.

Coal: one three kings quick lights

liquid in vase: Ice cold tap water

Bowl packing: Left a gap between bowl and foil, used cheap tin foil, circle pattern of holes.

Cut: Typical Al-Fakher cut. Very fine, absolutely soaked in juices



Smell: Coffee!

Smoke: Excellent white clouds thick



Flavor: Taste was incredible, I’m a coffee addict and was really looking forward to this. Upon inhale I was bombarded with the taste of a strong black coffe taste similar to an Arabic or Hawaiian coffee, after taste was milky and smooth like a cappuccino, exhale was a smooth mellow coffee flavor reminiscent of a Jamaican or Ethiopian with milky over tones. Excellent smoke.

Buzz: Mild

Duration: 3 hours, smoked a few bowls of this stuff, glad I got the 250g tub.

Rating: 10/10. Love It! If you don’t like strong coffee It might be a little over whelming. I can’t wait to try this with coffee and milk in the base, got a pot of Hawaiian estate chilling in the fridge for tonight.

Al Fakher CAPPUCCINO

33' standard hookah
japanese style coals (I'm gonna switch to finger style)
iced water

Cut: The cut on this was very fine. There were almost no stems which is a plus, but it was bordering on the fluffy side. moderately moist

smell/flavor: The smell of this shisha was pretty good. It smelled like those cappuccino powder mixes that you can buy from costco or whatever. The flavoer was descent. Its kind of a nice change from fruit flavors, but it left a burnt coffee after taste in the back of your throat. This was not due to the heat, its just the way it is. 7/10

smoke: Average thickness. I was not disappointed

Buzz: none for me, but iv'e been smoking Nakhla so im sure its there.

overall: This was a good change away from fruity flavors, but not something that i would buy again. The flavor was pretty coffeeish, but it left a burnt after taste. Not a complete waste of money, but i wont keep this one around 7/10

P.S i bet if it were mixed with vanilla it would take it up to at least a 9/10, but thats just a geuss. Edited October 4, 2007 by helios187

Pipe: 12" Mya Bambino

Filter: Ice-cold coffee with a splash of milk, and small ice cubes.

Bowl: Standard Mya Bowl, slightly underpacked.

Hose: Nammor.

Coals: 2 1/4 Exoticas, as well as several "splinters" of Exoticas added to manage heat.





Smell: Slightly sweet coffee grounds, with a subtle hint of vanilla.

Cut: Standard Al Fakher cut, very syrupy and almost no stems. Very dense tobacco.

Beverage: Dark Columbian coffee, black, no sugar.

Duration: About an hour and fifteen minutes.

Smoke: 6.5/10. Decently thick, but nothing to write home about. Less dense than Al Fakher grape.

Buzz: 3/10. Very little buzz.

Flavour: 9.5/10. This is probably the best coffee flavour I've had, and boy do I loves me some coffee flavours.

Overall: 8.5/10. This is one of my favourite Al Fakher flavours, which is one of my favourite brands. I definitely recommend giving this one a try, and at $10/250g it won't break your bank. Edited January 17, 2008 by gaia.plateau

AF CAPPUCCINO

Setup: MYA QT
Bowl: MYA Standard
Hose: Stock
Coals / Foil: Canary/Foil
Liquid In base: H20

Cut: syrupy with a few stems

Smell: like powdered cappuccino

Taste: like black coffee that is slightly bland.

Smoke Thickness: decent clouds

Buzz: little to none

Duration: 30 minutes... stopped on my own because I couldn't stand it anymore

Overall: I would give it a 3/10 because it didnt taste like cappuccino which was a huge letdown when compared to how it smells. If you love coffee then this is your flavor because it is a sure shot winner, but if youre looking for that cappa taste you will be dissapointed and left with a gross taste in your mouth.

*this stuff reeks up your hookah 6 ways till sunday, involving a supermegaclean"

Screen/Foil: Foil

Hose: Razan Hose

Base: Water

Appearence: It was a really fine cut. But it was a 50g sample so it wasn't all that juicy but it got the job done.

Smell: Smelled like a cappuccino

Taste: Awesome. It really had a nice coffee cappuccino flavor. It was a fairly strong flavor.

Smoke: Diesel Clouds

Overall: It was very good the flavor was phenomenal! I just had random people walk up and try a little (I'm a very nice guy) They all were just stating how very much like cappuccino it tasted.

AF CAPPUCCINO

Setup: MYA QT
Bowl: MYA Standard
Hose: Stock
Coals / Foil: Reynolds Regular Foil single sheet/ CoCoNaRa
Liquid In base: Aqua

Cut: Juicy no large stems

Smell: like cheap powered coffee, brings to mind flavor crystals

Taste: Slight hint of coffee, but its walmart brand $3 for 50#'s flavor- not good

Smoke: Thickness: Not bad

Buzz: Not much, but this is the 4th bowl today

Duration: Currently smoking, 45 Mins, dont know how much longer I can go

Review: I love coffee, If I could hook an IV up to a coffee pot I would....but this isnt really cappuccino its almost there, subtle undertones of coffee flavor but overall its a burnt taste, not the strong expresso flavor I was looking for. It would most likely taste better with vanilla added to it, or mixed with another flavor to darken up the mix, but I cant see my self buying anymore of this, glad it was only 50g's.

Overall: 3/10 Pending- depending on its mixability

Hookah Type: KM
Bowl: Large Phunnel with mod
Foil / Screen: Regular foil, Small holes all around
Coal / Amount: 3 1/4 Exoticas

Smell / Flavor: This is a good taste. Smells/tastes exactly like the General Foods International Coffees French Vanilla instant coffee. Very strong, good flavor. Not a particular favorite(I only picked it b/c the wife wanted it), but if you're wanting that flavor this is spot.
Rating (1 to 10): 7/10 Honestly, this is the first AF I've tried and liked. It was a great smoke and I'll prob keep some of it around however its just not my favorite flavor. Edited October 21, 2008 by aethiolas

[b]Overall: [/b]8/10 I like this flavor, but me being a coffee snob, I have to pick on it a little. The taste is more inline with a cappuccino it's a milder coffee taste without having a milky taste. But the coffee does taste a little burned. But not super burned like Starbucks.

[b]Overall:[/b][color="#1c2837"][size="2"] 7/10. Tastes exactly as it's advertised, a cappucchino. However, I find myself very rarely actually wanting to smoke it - coffee is one of those things that while it tastes good as a drink, it's not a very... smoke-able flavor. I'm not sure how to describe it - the shisha tastes great, but it's just not something I frequently like in smoke form. Either way, if you're looking for a coffee flavored shisha, this is it![/size][/color]
