If I Only Had One

If I had to chose one flavor...


Double Apple is a flavor that is made by almost every brand of hookah tobacco out there. It is one of the original flavors that is featured all across the globe. It is a complex flavor mixed with a nice taste of apple and liquorish. A lot of the time, especially in America, a new smoker will not like a flavor as complex as double apple. I see it almost every day in the lounge that people would much rather pick a flavor that they have seen on a swisher sweet box then try to venture onto a flavor that does not fit a regular "fruit" flavor. If you have not tried double apple and you are reading this ask yourself why not?! Step away from the chocolates, apple, strawberry, kiwi, orange, and other fruits and try something more complex. I guarantee you will find a new flavor that will be your new favorite.

Another quick note. Sorry it is a little off topic but every once and a while people shy away from mint flavors. I would say 7 out of the 10 times people don't even try mint flavors because they normally don't like mints or gum. When it comes to hookah tobacco don't shy away from a flavor just because you don't normally like a food with that flavor. I don't particularly like mints, or mint flavored gum, but one thing I do love is mint flavored tobacco. Especially in mixes mint can be a great addition to a flavor.


To get back to the subject, if I had to chose only one flavor to smoke for the rest of my life it would be Double Apple, but which brand would be a hard decision. Al Fakher gives a sweet double apple liquorish taste. It gives a flavor that is nice that almost anybody can smoke. Being a modern tobacco made with lots of glycerin it also gives off a huge cloud of smoke. On the other hand Nakhla's Double Apple is traditionally delicious. The buzz from a Nakhla flavor can be matched by other traditional tobaccos, but Nakhla is my favorite traidional type hookah tobacco by far. Nakhla unlike Al Fakher doesn't give of huge clouds of smoke, but gives a decent amount of smoke for the traditional type tobacco.

So which would I choose? Al Fakher. It's easier to smoke. Maybe it's just because on a given work night I could light up 10-30 hookahs. Maybe it's because I have been smoking for a while and my body needs something easier. I don't know what it is but Al Fakher Double Apple is my flavor and worth a try for anybody that has not
