Bowl Used: Single Hose Sahara Custom
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Room temperature water.
Coal Configuration: One 33mm and one 40mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Moist, clumpy tobacco. The cut is a typical Hookah Hookah cut. Just imagine cutting open a cigarette and using that as their tobacco. Very thin and medium length strands.
Smell: The scent is a heavy body of menthol that cools your nose with the first sniff. But don't sniff for too long, it loses it's scent quickly and turns into something completely different, kind of like a fermented, stale alcohol.
Flavor: The flavor was cooked quick. It was very mentholated, but that's about it. There was nothing 'winterfresh' about it. I was a disappointed because I was hoping for more like a winterfresh gum flavor and all that was there was the overpowering menthol. I wanted a spearmint/peppermint additive to it. At about 30 minutes in, the fermented, stale alcohol scent was brought into the flavor and I just had to stop after that.
Smoke: The smoke was semi thick. Nothing at all to complain about
Longevity: This lasted me about 45 mins.
Overall thoughts: If you like menthol, this is an okay flavor. I think it would do better as a mixture when you want to add menthol to any flavor to change it up a bit. I wouldn't buy this or smoke it again, unless mixed.
RATING: 2/10

REVIEW: Hookah Hookah Guava
Bowl Used: Single hose Sahara custom, vortex bowl
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Two 40mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Undyed tobacco. Pretty moist, good consistency. No stem.
Smell: The smell reminds me of walking into the floral department of a Home Depot. There is a very natural, woody and leafy smell to this tobacco. It's pretty interesting. I've never ate a guava before, and I doubt guavas actually smell like this, though.
Flavor: The flavor is a very light, natural sweetness. You can taste the leafiness that I mentioned in the smell of the cut.
Smoke: Typical clouds made from Hookah Hookah. If you've never smoked Hookah Hookah before, they are really great clouds, so do not worry!
Longevity: It lasted an hour and ten mins.
Overall thoughts: I like this flavor, but the leafiness really turned me off. I expected a bit more sweet flavor to it considering it is a fruit, but I didn't really get any of that in the session today. I would probably never buy this again, but if I happened to have more left over, I'd smoke it again.

REVIEW: Hookah Hookah Black Pomegranante Tea Shisha
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Two 33mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Typical tea leaves, shredded. IT wasn't wet at all, but it wasn't completely dry. I didn't have to clean my hands or wipe them down at all after touching it.
Smell: Smells like a nice natural sweet. Don't compare this to actual pomegranate though, you'll have to actually sniff the juice from POM to get any sort of comparison. The smell was okay at best!
Flavor: The is no flavor in my opinion. The scent comes out in the smoke but it's a floral scent and it's way too potent. It's like I'm sucking on grandma's perfume bottle. YECK!
Smoke: Medium body, but I'd like more.
Longevity: I didn't find out how long this lasted me, I couldn't continue past ten minutes of this.
Overall thoughts: This was the worst shisha I have ever had. I was very disappointing and I'm sad I wasted three coals on this.

REVIEW: Hookah Hookah Butterscotch
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Three 33mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Undyed very fine to medium grounded typical hookah hookah tobacco. Not very wet, not dry.
Smell: The smell is a chemically butterscotch smell if you put your nose up against it. But if you wave it around in front of your nose to get a quick sniff, the smell is bang on for a creamy caramel/butterscotch scent.
Flavor: The taste is VERY strong with this. Hookah Hookah got the taste of butterscotch BANG ON! If I was to rate it on taste alone and how right they got the flavor, I'd definitely give it a 10/10. But because I'm more of a fruity shisha fan,
Smoke: Smoke got thick only after I was forced to use a third 33mm three kings coal. It took about 15-20 minutes and I would compare the smoke to that of a weaker Starbuzz, but I definitely got some GREAT pulls and smoke from it that impressed me.
Longevity: Everything lasted me about an hour and a half.
Overall thoughts: I first want to say how grateful I am of HookahHookah.com for giving me this free shot of shisha. The shot is definitely enough to fill my small vortex bowl and good enough for a single person session. Overall, this is a strong flavor and for that alone it's enjoyable. The smell and taste is all butterscotch and as I have said before that they were BANG on with the smell and definitely the taste. No buzz from this whats so ever, but I kind of enjoyed that for a change! If I was to rate on taste alone and how on target they got this shisha, it would be a 10/10, but considering I am more of a fan of shisha flavors, I won't rate this as high if it was a fruit.

REVIEW: Hookah Hookah Melon
Bowl Used: Triple Hose Maju
Foil: Reynolds Wrap, double fold
Water Base: Ice water.
Coal Configuration: Two 33mm Three Kings Coal
Cut of the Tobacco: Undyed course grounded tobacco. Not very wet, not dry.
Smell: The smell of cantaloupe is predominate in this tobacco. It's a very natural cantelope smell and if you close your eyes, you'd think someone stuck a cantaloupe in your face.
Flavor: The taste is very subtle, but whatever you do taste is exactly what you were smelling. There is a cantaloupe taste, just like the smell.
Smoke: Smoke got thick only after I was forced to use a third 33mm three kings coal. It took about 15-20 minutes and I would compare the smoke to that of a weaker Starbuzz.
Longevity: Everything lasted me about an hour
Overall thoughts: I first want to say how grateful I am of HookahHookah.com for giving me this free shot of shisha. The shot is definitely enough to fill my small vortex bowl and good enough for a single person session. Overall, this is a very light flavor but enjoyable. I wish it was a bit more moist, but it could have just been the batch I got considering I know Hookah Hookah to be generally more moist than the sample I got. The smell and taste is all cantaloupe, so I think the name should be changed to cantaloupe instead of "Melon" since melon makes me think I may get a mixture of some watermelon, honey dew and cantaloupe. I got a semi buzz, but I'm a light weight :P
