This week, we indulge in one of The Egyptian Cafe’s non-mixes, with a very sultry Silver Fox. Silver Fox is actually “sweet melon”, but the name stuck to the menu after the cafe changed shisha brands. We’ve gotten mixed reviews from friends on the flavor, but they aren’t the ones running this gig, now are they?! Sit back, relax, and enjoy OUR take on The Egyptian Cafe’s Silver Fox.
Sam’s Take
I had always been curious about Silver Fox, but not enough to potentially order a bad shisha and ruin a night out. So, since our Flavors of the Week are graciously donated, I decided it was time to try! I was told upon picking up Silver Fox that it was a relabeled “sweet melon” flavor, but the advance notice was unnecessary. The flavor is clearly that of a fresh melon or even cantaloupe. Since I like to be completely honest in these reviews, I was actually reminded of the flavor of cardboard while sampling Silver Fox. It’s definitely not a bad thing, but…come on. We both know you’ve tasted cardboard before. I can see Silver Fox going well in any other fruit mix, or with fruit juice in the base, and I”ll be keeping an eye out for possibilities!
Mike’s Take
Silver Fox seems like an awfully fancy name for a single flavor shisha, but don’t think I’m complaining. A smooth sweet melon flavor is one of the more pure shishas out there. I was reminded of Orbit Melon-Mint gum, even though there’s no mint in Silver Fox. Melon is one of those flavors you don’t see a lot in shisha, with citrus fruits generally being much more popular, due to their tang. You won’t be disappointed by this melon though. It’s one of the smoothest non-mint mixes I’ve had in some time. Head on down to the Egyptian, pick up some Silver Fox, and enjoy some sweet melon, one of the rarer and more delicious hookah flavors you’ll ever smoke.
Blair’s Take
This was an interesting flavor. I’ve only smoked it once, but I enjoyed it. This shisha seems to be kind of fruity and have a rather pleasant taste. I definitely licked my lips afterwards. If I could be corny for just a second, with this one, you can definitely take a ride on the fox. This hookah packed a punch. It could of been because this was the first time I had smoked in a little bit, but it had quite a buzz. There wasn’t a lot of smoke however. The music mix was great in the Egyptian while I was smoking this, so I’m going to label this as a social hookah. Light up, invite some friends over, put on some good music, and have a good night.
