It’s a bit challenging to identify the flavors making up Kama Sutra. At the beginning of the draw, there is a bite, perhaps a sour sensation. On exhale, there’s a sweet watermelon flavor. There are also most likely some berry or fruit flavors mixed in as well, but they are indistinct.

Bada-Bing! is a welcome blend of mild watermelon and sweet mint flavors. There are likely some other flavors in there as well, but they blend seamlessly and identifying them is near impossible.

Ayam Zaman Watermelon, like it’s Hookah-Hookah cousin, is an excellent, realistic watermelon flavor. The flavor is sweet and rich, similar to the bright pink parts of a real watermelon, but there are also some notes of tartness, like you might find in the lighter parts of a watermelon found closer to the rind. However, unlike the Hookah-Hookah counterpart, Ayam Zaman’s Watermelon also has a distinct natural tobacco undertone which, in this case, takes away from the overall flavor a bit.

Hookah-Hookah Watermelon tastes like watermelon. This, however, is important—where most brand’s watermelon flavors are a Bubbleyum caricature of the real melon, Hookah-Hookah’s watermelon is actually hyper-realistic. The flavor is sweet, but not candy sweet. The flavor is a mix of the sweet, bright pink parts of a real watermelon, as well as the more bitter, lighter colored parts found closer to the rind.

Al Tawareg Wild Watermelon is underwhelming at best. The Watermelon flavor is extremely mild. So much so, in fact, that you can clearly taste the honey and tobacco, though the experience isn’t unpleasant. The detectable watermelon flavor is, however, very nice. It is more realistic than most and doesn’t taste much like ‘bubble-yum’, the way most other brands do.

Melon Medley, as the name would suggest, is a hodgepodge of other melon flavors. Most likely Honey Dew, Cantaloupe and Watermelon. However, the flavors are indistinct and the overall taste is ambiguous. If you’re a frequent hookah smoker, the flavor will be similar to Nakhla and Al Fakher’s Sweet Melon, only slightly more mild. In real world comparisons, the flavor is very much like a candy-cantaloupe.

Watermelon is Social Smoke’s stab at a flavor that almost every brand in the market tries. Social Smoke’s version is lighter, crisper and more refreshing than many competitors, however it still remains a very sweet candy caricature of the real thing. Imagine a slightly more realistic version of Bubbleyum chewing gum, but in tobacco form.

Officially, Social Smoke describes Voltage as a blend of Watermelon and Lemon, with a hint of Amaretto sweet almond flavoring. When examined closely, the lemon and watermelon can be distinguished, though the almond is almost totally invisible. In real world smoking, without any clues to the intended flavor, the taste is very much like a sweet blend of mild lemon and jasmine.

The Edge flavor is difficult to nail down. There is a subtle candy-watermelon taste and likely some blended berries as well. But the overall taste is a kind of candy rush—very sweet, but with a delicate floral finish.
