Yay I Got My Box Of Grape Al-fakher And It Tastes Like...


Recommended Posts

Why are the people behind AF acting so stupid with this grape? Do they REALLY not know about this? They dont test their recipes out before mass-producing them? I mean do they taste it, say "Hmmm this grape still tastes like ketchup, LETS KEEP SELLING IT!"

Dude my smelled like ass when I purchased it last october. It says it was made in sep 07. After leaving it in a container for over 6 months, it actually smells pretty damn good. I havent gotten the chance to smoke it again after the first time because my hookah broke. But if its better than I think thats the only solution.

I know most of the people on here aren't fans of Hookah-Hookah, but their white grape is a pretty good flavor. If you have trouble smoking it, I suggest adding a little bit of honey and using a screen. Foil tends to burn HH easily sad.gif

that sucks, luckily i havent had the ketchup problem yet. but i recommend golden black grape i have never even heard of any problems with it


Obviously you've never heard of my experiences with it... I first tried the Golden Black Grape back in early 2006. Nasty as shit. As far as I know, I was one of the very first people to note the "rancid ketchup" flavor. I've said it dozens of times: the Golden Black Grape can be just as bad as the regular Grape.

You know that phone number on the side of the box...the one for their distributor in the U.S. Well I called them about this and they said they are not aware of this issue!

The 50g box I got from '07 tasted mostly ok, but it had a hint of ammonia sometimes, just an ever so slight hint of it. I wasn't impressed and will be staying away from the stuff. The Eskandarani I got was the bomb though.

man there's no describing the TRUE smell and flavor of the OG grape. it was simply the best

I think we should all contact them and resolve this issue, its up to us. they aren;'t gonna do shit about it Edited by jakescakes

I got ketchupped, too. But I was lucky; I got mine at a local shop and opened it on the spot after reading these forums (God, you guys have saved my ass so many times with your prior wisdom. As the Navy SEALS say, "Learn from the mistakes others have made; you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.").

It really does smell like Ketchup and ass! Thankfully, the guy agreed that it smelled wrong and let me exchange it for another flavor.
