Al Fakher Peach

The taste of Al Fakher Peach is very candy like. It more resembles the Fuzzy Peaches candy rather than bitting into a real peach. Because this is a washed tobacco, you do not get any of the natural tobacco taste that you would get from other brands such as Nakhla. Al Fakher Peach is also a great mixer and can be easily combined with Al Fakher Vanilla or Mint to enhance the smoking experience.

The Vortex Bowl from Sahara Smoke

The Vortex Bowl is one of only a few very popular specialty bowls. In short, it’s design aims to help tobacco smoke longer with more flavor by trapping the juice in the bottom of the bowl, rather than leaking down into the hookah itself. Today, we’re going to spend some time looking at the Vortex Bowl in detail, as well as look at some of the pros and cons of this unique bowl.

Evolution Tea Spearmint

Spearmint is fairly straight foreword. It tastes like a mild sweet mint. Something like Eclipse chewing gum. It’s an easier mint flavor to smoke by itself as the mint is more mild and the sweetness adds a necessary element which is often missing from other plain mint flavors.

Ayam Zaman Thousand & One Nights

Nights, I’m told, is actually an adaptation of a traditional Middle Eastern drink. Few in North America will recognize this comparison. The flavor is dark and spicy with a striking sweetness which makes for an interesting, complex and calming flavor. You’ll likely first notice a blend of what seems to be cinnamon and clove, but set atop a black licorice foundation—thought this observation only comes after a careful inspection of the different flavors.

Al Fakher Energy Drink

Hookah Report is proud to present a world first… The first in-depth review of Al Fakher Energy Drink, soon to be released to the North American market. Al Fakher Energy Drink smoked very quickly with minimal effort to get started. When the coals were on the bowl for about 2 – 3 minutes, very large clouds started to be produced, very typical for Al Fakher. But how is the flavour really? Click on over to read our full, in-depth review.

Hookah-Hookah 7 Spice

7 Spice tastes much like you might expect. Spicy. The most dominant flavor is cinnamon, but it is very mild, mixed among other spice flavors such as clove and cardamom. The other spices, whatever they may be, are ambiguous, but no doubt add to the whole experience in ways we can’t confidently nail down. Overall, however, the flavor is dark and spicy, but still light and mild.

Social Smoke Rose

Social Smoke’s Rose flavor is unique among the available rose flavors out there. While it has a very strong floral scent and taste, the taste is sweeter and warmer than most other similar flavors. Beyond the basic floral rose flavor, there are some hints of other flavors as well, though pinning them down is difficult. A very subtle spice is probably the best I could explain it.

Social Smoke Dulce De Leche

Dulce De Leche is a sweet cream flavor. Neither fruit, nor obviously spice and certainly not floral. The most obvious sensation is sweet. It’s very sweet. But the actual flavor is delicate. It’s difficult to place exactly what it tastes like (made especially difficult since I’ve never had the drink for which this tobacco was named). There are some darker undertones, perhaps caramel, while the more obvious flavor is light and creamy.

Starbuzz Sex on the Beach

At first smell, the shisha smells extremely good and very, very sweet. I also detected a but of a tangy smell when smelling the tobacco, perhaps orange or lemon. With two Chronic Hookah coals and one layer of foil, the shisha started to produce amazing smoke and good flavour after 3 – 5 pulls. Unfortunately however, the flavour does not last the whole session and usually leaves about 20 minutes into the session with the Small, and 10 minutes with the Alien. After the flavour leaves, you can continue to smoke the shisha without any flavour but still nice clouds or add a new set of coals to the other side.

Ayam Zaman Mint

Ayam Zaman is a mild, sweet spearmint flavor with just the slightest hint of something spicy. Most people probably won’t even notice. Besides that, the flavor is very basic, but not uninteresting.
