Fakher melon is one of the first ones I tried. To be honest with you,
at that stage, most of it tasted good, but I remember it being very
sweet, and significantly better than nakhla melon.

But then again, I wasn't too much into shisha at the time. Not sure how
I'd react now. All I can tell you is that I had no complaints at the
time

Thanks.  I rarely smoke my hookah.  It's usually once a week
or occasionally I might do it twice if i'm watching a movie or I just
feel like relaxing.  What about Fakher orange?  I haven't
seen a review of that yet and I have a 50g pack of it lieing around
unopened.  Nakhla orange is ok-ish so i'll be happy if it beats
that and it most likely will.

Between my wife, my best friend and me we have been going through alot.
We have 3 hookahs going at a time. I don't think any will go to waste.
I will be ordering once a month.

I personally never go for orange myself, simply because I dont like bitter flavours (i.e. opposite of sweet)

I will never buy an orange or even a rose flavour because of this bitter taste. I like my shisha to be sweet :D

if you like marmalade, and an orange peel taste, then you will like
orange m3assal. Fakher does orange very well, but I personally hate the
flavour as a matter of taste

hmm, decided to bite the bullet and go for some new flavours. stay tuned for their arrival.
 
Romman: Double Apple, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange
Fakher: Apple
 
romman should be interesting, only got a tiny pack of orange and lemon because i am not usually into citrus m3assal, and the raspberry should be interesting. I got the double apple down to mathazar's recommendation so will see how it is.
Fakher apple has already been reviewed, one of the greatest tobacco flavours ever. So no need to review it again :)
stay tuned, hopfully should get them this week

the thing about the blackurranty hint in the taste, is that it enhances it, and makes it sooo tasty. I've tried grape from other brands, and they literally are disgusting [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]
It is one of the most favoured flavours i have seen amongst shisha smokers, and very much enjoyed by most.
Think of it this way, many flavours have other elements to them, such as double apple which has liquorice, or other flavours which taste floral.
I disagree with you on this flavour mathazar . This flavour is one of the greats

Perhaps I should try it again.  I remember it took me a LONG time
to develop a taste for certain brands of cigar & pipe
tobacco,  and just as my taste for that developed over time, 
so too might the flavor of AF Grape.  But,  since AF Grape
smells & tastes so much like GS Black Grape,  I may as well go
for the gusto and invest in the good stuff.  Of course GS Black
Grape is MUCH more pungent,  in my opinion,  than AF
Grape. So,  hmmm,  maybe I'll just get AF
Grape

When I first tried golden grape, i really liked it more than anything,
but i think that was only because i got so used to regular grape.

now I believe Regular fakher grape to be a better flavour after comparing them side by side.

I do not believe the golden fakher range is better than the regular range, I just think they are different flavours.

imo, regular apple is better than the 2 golden apple flavours
regular grape is better than golden grape
golden strawberry is better than regular strawberry.

I'm sure you can acquire a taste for anything if you can force oyurself
lol but you should stick to the stuff you enjoy first time. It's like
I'm sure I can acquire a taste for celery if I force myself, but why
bother, I'm happy disliking the stuff

cant wait to try the romman flavours, so i can shoot them down, or compliment them

Al Amir's grape was quite intense when I tried it.  It reminded me
of a bubble-game grape, but a tad more sophisticated.  The
intensity of the flavor blew me away -- unfortunatly, I didn't care for
the flavor. Personal prefrence, not ragging on the product.

It came from thehookah.com.

Mo, I know you said you don't like citrus flavors, but have you tried
the Fakher one?  I just tried it today and it does not have the
bitter peel taste at all like the other brands.  It is like a
sweet orange juice flavour.  Same goes for the lemon!

You should try them out!

I have not tried lemon, but i tried orange a while ago and remember not
liking it. never really got it again. I got a friend that loves orange
fakher, but it isn't for me :)

may give it another go if I'm feeling in a spending mood, but only
after I've exhausted all other flavours :), I have always tried to
avoid rose and citrus flavours. Bought a couple of romman ones though
just for the hell of it (as they are so expensive ,so thought i'd try a
few 50g flavours to go with the double apple)

I smoked some more of my Romman apple today and had a real good time doing it. Not my favorite apple, but damned good as it had tons and tons of the thick smoke and just a tangy hint to it. What flavor romman did you order, Mo?

This was my order from hookah-shisha
Romman: Double Apple, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, rose
Fakher: Apple
fakher apple of course i tried and is legendary imo :), but the romman flavours will all be new to me. The lemon,orange,rose is a risk, but I thought i'd sample the romman versions. Double apple was a big box, so hopefully will be good.
hoping for it to arrive during next week, then will review them.
 
I reviewed romman apple earlier in this thread and gave it an 8. It's nice but, not spectacular. Just tough to criticise

Hmmm I see Math is still plugging the thieving bastard site.

Al Fakher Golden Seal black grape is really good, so is Al Amir grape.
You really can't compare the two, they smell TOTALLY different out of
the bag and the tastes are different. The Al Amir grape smoke, when
blown out, DEFINITELY smells like Welch's.
Overall I would pick the AF GS black grape.

Speaking of AF, I tried the fruit cocktail and I don't like it as much as the Al Waha 5 Stars.
