California Dream

california dream

pretty juicy, smells like a red tootsie pop and hawaiian punch. tastes more like hawaiian punch when you smoke it, and the flavor lasts quite a while. i stopped hitting it after a while but all the people in the room kept saying how good it tasted still towards the end of the bowl.

PICK THIS FLAVOR UP!!! its strong as hell but doesnt overpower and get sickening. good mix with fusion mango raspberry.

Al Waha California Dream

Setup: roughly 22" Mitsuba 2 Hose w/ 2 Golden Coals on a screen, base of lemonade gatoraid.

At first I was sketchy due to the appearance, really thought it was low quality, but during the smoke, my opinion really changed....

Flavor: Just like the smell, sort of a cross between hawaiin punch and a combo of pinapple, some kinda berry, papaya, mango, a good hint of lime...sort of a tropical fruit basket you get for the holidays. Really hard to define the exact flavors within though. I give the flavor a ten.
Smoke thickness: Some of the thickest I've had, the only thing thicker than this was when I've had Nakhla with three 3king coals on it. Could actual do a disappear with it.
Buzz: Intense. Felt like when I first started smoking cigarettes, it is simply great.
Overall: I give it a 9. The flavor stays with it all the way, alters through different fruit flavors during the smoke. I love the buzz and the smoke amount.

Al Waha California Dreams

Set up:30' egyptian 2 3k coals indoors with windcover and screen.

Packaging: standard 50g box and shrink wrap

Appearence: light orange tint, rather dry

Smell: very citrusy

Taste: Pleasent citrus taste, mixture of lemon pine-apple, and orange, however did not last long

Smoke: decent, but rather wispy, but that was probbly due to craptastic coals my sub-par setup skills

Length: 1 hour...maybe less

Buzz: INTENSE!! hit me like a Mac-Truck after 5 puffs....still floating a bit

Overall: 6.8/10 Flavor was pleasent, however shortlived. Smoke, I am sure could have been better harnessed with another try. Biggest redeeming quality was the hard-core buzz, was hard to rank this one. good, but not great

Appearence: orange, rather dry

Smell: Citrus like with undertones of pineapple

Taste: It freggin tasted like Tang!

Smoke: I managed to get some decent clouds

Length: 2hr but there still was unburned shisha (had to go to sleep)

Al Waha California Dream

Appearance: Short cut, dark, lots of stems
Nicotine: 0.5%
Base: molasses and glycerin
Smell: Sweet, Little fruity
Taste: Sweet but dull
Smoke: Good Clouds
Buzz: Not a bad buzz, little in the beginning
Duration: 1 - 1.5 Hour

Purchased From: southsmoke.com or cigar king

Overall: 9/10 Personally I love this flavor. My friend and I always have at least an extra 250g tub of it sitting around because it sells out frequently. The taste is extremely smooth as is the smoke. You get some really nice clouds although when your nearing your third of fourth coal they tend to get smaller.

This is the very first flavor I tried when I received my first hookah last year. It made such an impression that now, I always have at least 50g on hand. I highly recommend this, both to novices and experienced smokers, definitely Al Waha's best flavor in my opinion.
