Hey folks.
Paul here for Hookah.org.
I have another video review for you and this one is another one from the Othmani line of
tobacco.
This is Damascus Strawberry.
Apparently, that's a trademark name.
This is marked as a traditional Arabic tobacco where the other ones I've seen Turkish and
various other things on the packaging.
This is a slightly more traditional tobacco than you would expect from a lot of modern
lines, but this is still a very modern tobacco.
This is a very wet tobacco, very red but Othmani has actually guaranteed to me that the coloring
is going to be going away in the next couple batches, which should be really nice to see.
Not that I think it changes the flavor at all, but I like to see the tobacco and know
what I'm enjoying.
As you can see, the smoke production is what you'd expect from a modern tobacco.
It's nice and smooth.
There's no real deep texture to it, but it is very pleasant.
The flavor is obviously the most important part and I call this a medium flavor.
It is not strong by any means but you still do get some actual strawberry coming out;
it just takes a while to heat up and actually get there.
If you really want to taste the strawberry with this one, I suggest retro haling.
You get a bit of a natural strawberry flavor but most of it is a pretty dry candied strawberry
flavor.
Its not artificial by any means, its not chemically, but its not like the sour sweetness that you
get from actually biting into an actual strawberry, but I've been hunting for years and I've never
found a strawberry flavor that actually really replicated the flavor of true strawberries.
When it comes to strawberry flavors though, you can do a lot worst than this one.
I consider this to be probably near the top of a list for strawberry flavors that I've
had.
Its right up there with [00:02:16] golden strawberry, which I think is probably the
best strawberry I've ever had for strength of flavor as most of them are very weak.
I think this is a good tobacco.
Don't expect to have any actual tobacco notes.
I'm not getting anything of that with this one.
None of the nuttiness, none of the earthiness that you'd expect from something like a black
Molassal obviously, and nothing that you'd expect from a Kajra, but it is a good slightly
more traditional, less chemically, modern tobacco that I'm really enjoying.
Anyways, that's about it for me.
This is another review for Hookah.org.
Please make sure to check out our forums and make sure to sign up.
If you've tried this tobacco, I would love to hear your comments on it.
Obviously there's the review section on our website that we're constantly looking for
more people to contribute to.
Please leave some comments in the YouTube comments as well; we love that kind of stuff.
All in all, if you're looking for a strawberry flavor, I would say that this is a pretty
good one and I think you should try it and I think its worth the check.
This is Paul once again for Hookah.org.
Happy smoking.
