I've been revisiting Al Waha a lot recently and I've been pretty happy with the results. Al Waha Apricot is the latest tobacco on the menu and I'm not entirely disappointed. I know that this is a gigantic surprise, but the smell in the package is similar to dried apricots. I'd say that's a good
I was sent a PM a few days ago asking for some advice on starting to smoke traditional and I felt that more people could benefit from a little introduction. Where do we start? Price. Traditional tobaccos are usually pretty cheap and that's . That's one of the nicest things about smoking things
I'll admit that I have not given Al Waha the time of day in the better part of 6 years. I had written off the brand as low quality and not worth trying, but they have changed their formula as of late and I just tried Al Waha Lemon and I'm happy with what I discovered. This is definitely a modern
Oh how I love a good peach specially a Nakhla one. It always seemed like fresh peaches had a window of about an hour in which they were ripe. Any sooner and it was like eating a potato. Any later and it's a pile of mush and rot. Even so, I waited impatiently and loved that first peach of the season

It's one of those awful moments that shisha smokers truly dread. You desperately want to smoke your hookah, but your bowl take a long walk off a shot dock and you don't have a spare. So, can you put your bowl back together with a little glue? Oh god, no. Please please, please do not try to
Mint is one of those flavors that seems to be mandatory for every brand and they all seem to have a different take on it. One tastes like fresh mint leaves from a garden where another might taste like toothpaste, but no matter your preference, you should have mint in your collection and Othmani
I love traditional leather hoses, but the biggest complaint I hear is that they can't be washed and that is the reason that the modern washable hoses are so popular. Happily, there is a way to clean out a traditional hose without using water. Beat the hell out of it. That may sound a bit odd, but
