Customer Reviews
I was pretty into AF back in 2011-2013 when I was first getting into hookah: it kind of formed my baseline for shisha cut/flavor quality by which all other brands since would be measured. But after 5 or so years, you've pretty much had every variation of most flavors so when a new brand comes out or a brand releases a new line of flavors, you quite often are underwhelmed because it's nothing new. But about 10 years AF released a special line and it has some real surprises in it: Hookah Matata (green apple / pine) and Appletini (red/green apples with a cocktail "burn" finish): I must've gone through 2kg's each before they were discontinued. But it always stayed in my head that AF could surprise me.
Fast forward to 2023/2024 after John's video on YT pointing out it was an AF product, I gave "Capo Dei Capi" a try. It's spectacular -- cola spice on the inhale and vanilla (not "cake frosting" like old school AF, but van-ill-a) that lingers in your nose for a full minute. Using a Strimony w/ a Kaloud and 4 titanium flats "stone-henged" is the perfect amount of heat to keep it ripping for ~90min. Already bought again and hoping it sticks around!
I was never into Al Fakher wrong!! The tobacco cut is light brown and fine strips. The smell is very sweet and aromatic. I got the Krazee Combo to try. The peach comes out strong in the beginning. As one progresses, the strawberry and raspberry kick in. The subtle notes of tea are in the background. The smoke production is generous when the coals and IMD are at the right temperature. With the HJ Ferris bowl and Kaloud lotus HMD and a medium fluff packing give you great results off the bat. Give this a try.
