Rose. Bare with me...

[LambWorks]

I know this is something that has been discussed recently but I, for the life of me, cannot find the thread. Anyway...

I love rose. I grow them, I wear rose water perfume...I even love how silky the petals feel. As far as tobacco, I would love to find a great, aromatic rose. So far I have tried Starbuzz Rose and Guru Rose Dew (didn't really ike this one). I don't want to keep spending a lot of money on crappy flavors so I thought I'd come to you guys.

I don't mind stronger tobacco, but I do prefer washed but I'll consider all (just let me know).

With that...suggestions?

[rachel2230]

i dont mind HH rose or AF they are not to bad

[glostersa]

Afzal Rose or nakhla rose

[blackleaf28]

surprisingly.. al waha rose is quite good, very pure, realistic flavor, and not overly sweet (i hate sugary roses)

[Spammit]

I have a small tub of Hookah-Hookah Rose. It's fantastic to mix with other flavors.

[SpoonTunage]

AF rose for sure, best rose I've smoked.

[linerndunch110]

I've smoked every easily accecable rose out there and af rose is simply the best out there. From what I understand, your looking for a rose flavor. Just straight rose no underlining tobacco flavors. So dont go with the DM or the afzal. The afzal is very interesting and good it it's own way but it's very dark feeling and has some fruit aspect which I can't ID. that said

AF rose or AF golden rose. Only difference is preference. Using the reg for a basis, Golden
is a touch more silky/sweet and a touch less bite/bright. The reg line is that smell of fresh garden roses in the morning, or if you happened to shove your face in a rose bushel(I don't recommend that btw, thorns hurt). It's very "awakening". The golden line it seems is simply a SLIGHTlY less potent version.

A bit of background on my rose escapades. I love roses as well. I'll even go as far as to say I was the jealous 6 year old brother when my sis got roses for dance recitals haha. It seems every brand but AF and HH just don't understand. I always use the expression or something along the like of, "If I'm smoking rose it better smell like I had 10 of the cheapest hookers in Boston walk through my apartment"
Or similar. But in all honesty, give it a try. If you don't like it or isn't what your looking for, feel free to pm me and I'll send you so suggestions with tasting notes. But AF is the winner by a mile

all I have ever tried is Nakhla rose. I smoked some tonight actually and it is a good smoke. Sorry I cant be more help.

[kalutika]

AF Golden is a great rose and one of the more solid flavors on the market.

Tangiers Lemon Blossom is a beast and has a very realistic flavor.

Both of these have notes of lemon which is actually accurate when consuming rose petals. Roses have a huge amount of vitamin C in them. I make rose mead once every few years and it has a distinct lemony note that I really enjoy.

[ajs425]

I really like AF rose.

[Burakiosaurus]

Tangiers Regal Flower.....very good flavour. Not as sickly sweet as AF Rose, flavour gets better as you smoke through first set of coals. Get some in Lucid first

[anis14]

I recently tried AF Rose for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. Reminded me of Rose flavoured Turkish delight.

[sweetlake]

For me the winner is AF rose. Smoked many many kilo's of this flavor. But currently can't get a hold of this in Holland.
A good second is a brand from Saudi which I do not know and the third place is for Hookah Hookah.

[khalsafauji]

I have never had AF Rose, but from the above comments it sounds pretty good.

I have had Nakhla Rose, which I thought was a pretty decent flavor.

[Ikrissy21]

Yeah but hookah hookah rose is so strong, u always have to mix it with something. I've also been looking for the right rose flavor and I personally would like a flavor that was more modest, at least something u can smoke without having to add something to it, is AF like that? Because I've never tried it but very interested in trying it out. Which is better? Golden line or regular?

AF rose is pretty strong but it's not over the top. I prefer the golden.

[tmv8888]

JM's rose is the answer to your prayers. i promise.

[LambWorks]

Thanks guys. I should be placing an order soon. Probably get some AF and some Nak. I might try HH but I don't know how much I like the brand...maybe a 50g for shits and giggles. The Tang Regal Flower sounds good, too.

Now I've got a new problem...chooses. Before I just didn't want to get stuck with crap.

[linerndunch110]

just fyi, I havent had the nak fakhfakhfina line of rose, and it seems really hard to get. ive ordered nak rose and all i get is the el basha rose which is awful. >_<

[gagli011]

I enjoyed Nak rose. I hope you do too. And this is coming from someone who is not big on floral. My brother says it makes the condo smell like Grandma's funeral, but I disagree.

[Bassrockerx]

I JUST smoked af rose and all I have to say is rose is not for me don't think ill ever try a rose flavor again

[jdndaddy]

this man knows his rose

Rose mead sounds amazing. I enjoy regular mead but that extra lemony floral sounds amazing. Sorry for the off topic comment but that sounds good.

[invayn3]

Florals and floral blends don't get enough love My very first SS flavor was "Blush" (cherry+berry+rose) and I was hooked from then on. I've done a few straight roses (Nak, etc.), though I prefer the blends if I can help it. I can do straight jasmines all day long though...

And, uh, yeah, kal put me down for a liter of rose mead

[thrillkill]

So far i have only enjoyed the AF rose, dont know why but its just the smell and taste. also classic mix with mint cant really go wrong i guess.
