Apple Al Fakher Shisha

Single Apple (five small red apples on the label picture ) from Al Fakher is quite good.The best thing about it is that it lacks the disasterous Anise (licorice) addition which many producers proved unwitty to add when making apple shishas.I'm not not a fan of Licorice.If you are, thu, then look up the Double Apple brand .I came to realise that when a manufacturer states on an apple shisha that it's Double , it means the addition of Anise and NOT empowering the apple flavour.This is a universally applicable rule on all the Double Apple Shishas out there.The colour is glistening red.Too juicy (which is always a positive thing ) but don't expect your bag to be dripping honey. Lots and lots of thick stems of variable sizes.Not a good thing because it recquires you to make time to sit by the table with your Al Fakher can to remove them.I'd say 20% of the total 250 gm tin I bought = 50 gm.The smoke is thick and satisfying. The flavour is subtle and balanced.No licorice as said above , yet a sweet candy- like undertone which is quite alright to my taste.This Shisha is closer to natural red apple taste than Fusion apple, Starbzz Exotic Apple and Layalina Bahraini Apple shisha.No buzz here (some might experience such a thing if not seasoned smokers thu ).Session lasts about 60-70 minutes depending on how active you are in managing heat so as not to over-heat the head.As with juicy packages, Tangiers phunnel , if packed carefully and correctly, would ensure a longer session and more enhanced taste because the juice doesn't run down through the orifices found in a regular egyptian or syrian phunnel. I'd suggest you use a smaller -sized head.To me medium is actually big !Double cellufine layer on the head and 3 small coals and your hookah starts singing fairly quickly and efficiently in no time.Because the apple taste here is solid ,it would not do it justice to mix it with other shishas.I smoke it on its own.But if you are a mixology fanatic, don't try Eskandarani apple or Sour green apple because both your experience will be overly sweet.You are smoking ,not having a birthday party, remember that.When I want more potent apple flavour I mix this with Fumari apple blend or Golden Bahraini Al Fakher Apple, 1:1 ratio.Mint ( 1:5 ),chocolate ( 1 :3 ) or vanilla are good mixers here too.I gave this product a rating of 3 / 5 but could have rated it as 4 / 5 if the many stems weren't there.I see myself definitely buying more of this shisha in the future.Some people mentioned Social Smoke's Simple Apple flavour as a candidate comaprison when talking about single apple from Al Fakher.I don't know if this is correct.But I will come back later with my point about that when my next Social Smoke order arrives.Go ahead and buy this stuff.You'll be rewarded.Enjoy !Ramshakle
