Al-Fakher Fruit Cocktail

*Hookah Noob Review*

Set Up:
12" Mini Pear Hookah
27" Basic Mod Hose
Ice & Water in Base
Steel Screen, No Foil
One and Two Coal Alternating (Golden Brand)

Smell: Smells delicious, like Hawaiian Punch or Kool Aid. Was what I expected. 5 / 5

Cut: Nice cut, fine, had quite a few stems compared to my other box of Al Fakher though. 3/5

Smoke Density: Very dense smoke. Had great clouds floating around. 5/5

Flavor: Good flavor, fruity with a little tartness. No my favorite but very good. 4/5

Duration: Lasted for over an hour, my second bowl of the night and I didn't finish it. I was getting tired.

Buzz: Pretty good buzz. Little floaty feeling.

Final Verdict: smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif mellow.gif 4 / 5 (not an average of other scores)

Final Thoughts:
Overall the best part was the thickness of the smoke. It was dense and milky colored. The taste was average overall, but good none the less. Cut could have been better, it had a lot of thick stems. Very enjoyable smoke.

Al Fakher Cocktail

I am incredibly lazy, so when a Cocktail flavor appeared in my AF Sampler pack, I thought it would be a nice way to avoid mixing flavors. How did it hold up?

Hookah: Mya QT
Bowl: Standard Mya
Screen/Foil: Foil
Hose: Standard Mya
Coals: 1 Golden QL
Base Liquid: Ice Water

Appearance:
Standard Al Fakher. Dyed, as always, bright stinking red.
Smell: A cacophony of fruit flavors, with that pervading "creamy" smell of AF Strawberry. It does not smell particularly pleasant, and for a second I considered going to a different flavor.
Taste: This tasted like a weaker version of AF Strawberry. There were no other flavors present. This is not a terribly bad thing, as I liked AF Strawberry well enough, but it begs the question: Why not just smoke Strawberry? On the box, I counted no less than 12 different fruits all bunched together, looking all nice and pretty. I expected fruit salad or fruit punch, and I got what I can only describe as Strawberry Lite. What a disappointment.
Smoke: Thick, fluffy clouds as always. Good ol' AF always pulls through in this department.
Buzz: Slight, noticeable, relaxing indeed.

Purchased From:
Part of the Al Fakher sampler pack from Hookah-Shisha

Overall: If you like AF Strawberry, you will like this stuff. However, if you like AF Strawberry, you probably have some on hand, so purchasing this would be superfluous. I have now come to terms with the fact that I will have to make my own damn cocktail using different fruit flavors, lazy or no. I still have the sneaking suspicion that there was a mix-up and I got an extra batch of Strawberry in a Cocktail box. I wouldn't recommend it, and I will most certainly not be purchasing this again.

As always, feedback and recommendations via PM are welcome and encouraged.

[b]Overall:[/b] 6/10 I am reviewing this after smoking a different batch of the flavor. This batch doesn't hold up to its predecessors, but I am going to assume it was just a bad batch. The flavor is a decent mixed fruits flavor, but definitely not my flavor. This would be a good flavor to pick up every once in a while, and mix with others, but I don't see this as a go to flavor for me. The reason the score isn't higher is because of the batch I got. I don't know if the recipe changed slightly so I don't know if this was a one time slip up. Edited by brphotoakes
