Romance is a truly elegant blend of floral Jasmine and mint. There are also some subtle citrus flavors, possibly lemon, as well. The mint is sweet, but not overpowering, allowing the floral flavors to really shine through.

Ayam Zaman Double Apple, like all double Apple flavors is an anis based flavor which resembles sweet black licorice. Ayam Zaman’s version is significantly more mild than other brands on the market with some clear undertones of the natural tobacco flavor.

Kali Drizzle is most likely a combination of mint, blueberries and grape. The mint flavoring is relatively heavy, at times almost overpowering. But berry and grape flavors do shine through, though neither are even remotely realistic. Rather they’re more of a candy caricature of the real thing, and at first, almost chemical.

Berry Punch, like the tobacco’s aroma, tastes like a richer, sweeter version of children’s Flintstones vitamins, but not so chalky. The flavor is mild enough that it’s not completely in your face, but rich enough to keep you interested. Though overall, it is a berry flavor, the exact berry flavor is ambiguous.

Ayam Zaman Watermelon, like it’s Hookah-Hookah cousin, is an excellent, realistic watermelon flavor. The flavor is sweet and rich, similar to the bright pink parts of a real watermelon, but there are also some notes of tartness, like you might find in the lighter parts of a watermelon found closer to the rind. However, unlike the Hookah-Hookah counterpart, Ayam Zaman’s Watermelon also has a distinct natural tobacco undertone which, in this case, takes away from the overall flavor a bit.

Passion Fruit Mojito does taste like a real mojito drink, which is usually made with lime, rum, soda water and mint. Social Smoke’s fruity version has a clear lime foundation, with very subtle mint and excellent proportion of sweet fruit flavors.

Evolution Tea’s Pina Colada tastes like the real virgin beverage by the same name. It is sweet, and refreshing, with a distinct coconut flavor. There are also some very subtle tea flavors underneath it all, which are actually a welcome addition, leaving a nice calming sensation.

Jasmine’s flavor betrays the aroma a bit more than usual. Where the aroma is sweet and mild, the flavor is stronger and distinctly floral, with little additional sweetness—which is what one would expect form a ‘Jasmine’ flavored shisha tobacco. However, compared to jasmine flavors from other brands, such as Nakhla, Social Smoke’s version is a bit sweeter.

Hookah-Hookah Grapefruit does resemble a real grapefruit. However, it’s much sweeter. Most grapefruits purchased in a standard grocery store are relatively sour, and that’s a sensation I expected in the tobacco, but was nowhere to be found. There are some very subtle notes of what might be a floral jasmine flavor, or perhaps even a clove flavor.

Hookah-Hookah Watermelon tastes like watermelon. This, however, is important—where most brand’s watermelon flavors are a Bubbleyum caricature of the real melon, Hookah-Hookah’s watermelon is actually hyper-realistic. The flavor is sweet, but not candy sweet. The flavor is a mix of the sweet, bright pink parts of a real watermelon, as well as the more bitter, lighter colored parts found closer to the rind.
