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
Coconut charcoal has become the standard by which we judge all other charcoal and this is the brand that really started the movement. These coals were brought to the market in 2005 and were first introduced in Lebanon, but soon spread to the rest of the Middle East and was later brought to the USA.
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

Brandy is not my usual drink of choice, but I have been known to take up the snifter from time to time. A touch of brandy helps warm the winter nights... here in southern California. The little bit of brandy I enjoy does give me enough of a grasp on the flavor of brandy to judge a brandy flavored
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
After my latest blog post touting the merits of silicone in hookah accessories, I figured I should give you a look at a new product that I have been enjoying. This is the Palace Glass Hookah Hose. I was gifted one of these hoses to try out by Smoking-Hookah.com and I think it's worth a review. I
I am not one to judge a hookah before I get my hands on it and before I am able to smoke with it for quite some time. This ridiculous thing, known as the Desvall Hookah, is going to be one of the rare exceptions. With a price tag of $60,000, this is easily the most expensive hookah that is
When I first got my shipment of Othmani tobacco, there were a few samples that peaked my interest and got me excited to smoke them. Star of Alhamra was definitely on this list and it's about time that I gave this one a try. If you've been keeping up with my reviews of the Othmani line, you know the
