  1. I'm aware of that but as bricos are about twice the size of any coal I've ever seen before and I don't know how well they cut I thought it was worth asking.
  2. i couldnt find anyone who would tell me how well tang would handle bricos.. I assumed that even half a brico would be too large for a pico with noir. Am I wrong? If so id move to bricos in a heartbeat..
  3. I havent tried the other boxes yet.. good idea. Yeah i have quite a bit of experience with cocos, including CCNs in the past so they are definately getting fully lit. Ill try another box when i get back from work..
  4. No they just dont smoke. Really frustrating as i ordered them from the states so by the time i pay return shipping and everything ill still be losing money..
  5. I recently bought 5 boxes of CCNs but they dont stay lit! When i take them off fully lit and put them on the bowl, within 5-10 mins the underside is so black and cold i can touch it. Any ideas what this could be?
  6. in the uk it is about £80 per kilo of tobacco and canada has higher rates.. Good luck!
  7. [quote name='Razwithz' timestamp='1344283214' post='553487'] or better yet, is this site good-reliable? [url="http://www.shishashop.co.uk/"]http://www.shishashop.co.uk/[/url] see you around, peace [/quote] yes, but id have thought shipping from that site would be more than any american site to mexico..
  8. [quote name='ironBALLS' timestamp='1344218001' post='553432'] nice collection dude... [/quote] Thank you [quote name='Twitchy' timestamp='1344229075' post='553452'] nice collection !! loving the pipes, is the black base a boho too ? LOVe the tray so sick, i have the same nour its a nice little pipe c: [/quote] Thanks man, yeah they are both bohos.
  9. [quote name='Chreees' timestamp='1344139505' post='553361'] No worries- iPhones take pretty good pics. Used mine almost exclusively for all my pics I took on my honeymoon trip to NYC. Dude, that is so ballin'. I gots to find me one of those... or two. The detail is so nice. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Older Nawras actually came with really detailed trays similar to that. Shame the newer ones do not. I think the flat profile fits Syrian pipes just as well as they fit Turkish, if not more. Tapatalk'd via iPhone [/quote] Thanks man, good luck finding one you like! [quote name='mustang67n' timestamp='1344141225' post='553363'] Damn.. I love those bases! Especially the one on the Nour!! sexxy [/quote] Thanks, I got them from a retailer in Hungary, but i think HJ carries them from time to time..
  10. Here are some close ups. I only have my iPhone I'm afraid... [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/57c28663-a78c-0677.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/57c28663-a798-7c50.jpg[/IMG]
  11. So far so good - it has a diameter of 9" so although it's quite flat the slight dip over such a wide distance seems to do the trick. Thanks for the kind words, I'll stick some pics up later on so you see what i mean.
  12. Yeah sure. I just got to work but I'll take some close ups when I'm home tonight. Yeah I drilled the hole myself. I found there was a much better choice of actual round trays that hookah trays.
  13. 2.99 + shipping off eBay but it feels like its worth more than that.. I just had to put a load of elbow grease into it!
  14. Here are two of my pipes, I also have a KM and an Elmas (pics pending) Left is a Nawras Al Fakher Solid Look-a-Like with a new tray, and right is a Nour Syrian. [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/57c28663-468b-c2a6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/57c28663-4696-af21.jpg[/IMG]
  15. I would recomend internet shopping for everything hookah/[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]dokha related. What little you can locally find is often fake. Whilst I am talking about london, I assume that here it is easier than Cambridge would be anyway.. PM me if you need to know anything about shipping over here.[/font][/color]
  16. [quote name='mattarios2' timestamp='1343141485' post='552450'] They just responded and said you do pay KDV to the USA but not VAT. They didn't mention anything about shipping so I think I am going to place an order and see what happens ... [/quote] The email above is what the sent when I placed my order last night..
  17. [quote name='Hassouni' timestamp='1343106780' post='552424'] This is awesome, though the shipping price looks far too good to be true [/quote] Unfortunately they are. [quote]Hello Alex; You can send your order as you need to send money for shipping fee 55 €. made through the site alışveriler applies within Turkey. If you send money through MF will ship your product [email="sales@nargilestore.com"]sales@nargilestore.com[/email] mail address. otherwise, you will be refunded the money you send within 3 working days.[/quote]
  18. woah! didnt see the shipping cost.. thought it was decent for ~30-50 bucks..
  19. legit syrian? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Antique-Middle-Eastern-Glass-Hookah-Collectible-/261066795881#ht_2199wt_898
  20. Basically anything wet is better from a phunnel than a standard egyptian style bowl, although it can be done. Dryer stuff like nak smokes well in an Egy bowl but personally i prefer it from a phunnel. Tangiers phunnels are the best. Crown bowls are a solid alternative as is an alien phunnel although its harder to pack I find. If you mainly smoke drier stuff then check out mattarios2's tutorials on packing Nak in a phunnel. Or check out reviews on the crown classic for an alternative to an origional style bowl.

Although I feel its hard to give anything a 10/10, I felt a benchmark was needed. As such so far only my favourite flavour has a 10, and everything else is in relation to that. Anything above a 5 I would consider smoking, and anything below a 5 is something I would not buy again. The numbers are an indication of the degree to which this is true. [b]Overall: 9/10 - [/b]This is an amazing flavour. Its what ive come to expect from Tangiers plus more. Great flavour, great clouds and lasting surprisingly long. I noticed a slight flavour drop off on the 3rd round of coals but not a substation one. Highly recommended.

[b]Overall: 8/10 -[/b]This is another tangiers great. I feel like Eric mixes the passionfruit flavour with something else like pear or apple but I cant quite work out what it is. Whatever it is works really well and gives a great overal flavour with a great buzz.

[b]Overall: 6.5/10 - [/b]I was a bit dissapointed with this flavour. I love cherries and cherry flavoured anything, and the smell out of the box from this is just amazing. Unfortunately I could never get a strong enough flavour from it for my liking. Im sure it would be a good mixer, but have not yet tried it.

[b]Overall: 9/10 - [/b]One of my all time favourite flavours. It captures the famous Lipton's Iced Tea drink that we get over here perfectly. A strong peach flovour throughout with nice black tea undertones on the exhale. A must try if you havent already!
