Hookah Joe

Hey guys, It's Joe. Haven't been on in a long long time... So here's what I've been up to: Spent a year and a half in the Airforce, Special ops. Had a good time, and I'm out for right now. Came home, and found out my mom through out my 30" Pharoah hookah, all the shisha and accessories. I was pissed. So I'm planning on getting another one from Hookah-shisha. Same hookah. Anyone know when they're getting the Genie bases back in stock? I've read you guys are loving Tangiers, so I'm gonna pick up some of that. How's everyone been? Any suggestions? Been outa the hookah scene for a while...

I'm greedy with my cloves. With good reason! They fricken expensive! I gave out 3 from my entire pack, haha. Maybe 4. I enjoy the sweet crackling noise the most. The taste is really nice too. I don't like smooths, its like a nasty minty cigarette.

QUOTE (sicklecow @ May 8 2007, 12:33 AM) Djarum Blacks, Djarum Vanillas, Kools Ultralights (it's like smoking Aspen air, haha), Camel Wides. But hookah's still better. Hey, How's those Djarum vanillas? Any way to describe the taste? They sound good.

Hey guys, joe here. Just wondering what your favorite cigarettes are, if you smoke. I started on Newport 100s, but wanted something with better taste. As an avid black n mild smoker ( If you can find cream types or peach, GET THEM), I always inhale, even with my cigars. I had been research clove, or kretek cigarettes. I stopped at Exxon with my friend just to take a look. Sure enough, they had some Djarum blacks, and I bought a pack. It comes to 7 and change(that's NJ taxes for ya!). I have a few pics. It is basically like smoking chai tea, and lick your lips from time to time- a great sweet flavor. When the cloves burn, the cigarettes crackle. They also last absurdly long, about 10-15 minutes on an average smoke.

QUOTE (Vancity604 @ May 4 2007, 05:26 PM) lay off on the moobs. it's not funny. +1 to you, it is really annoying- the whole "moob" thing. What the hell is a moob? and +1 to luxOR541. You've summed it up. I found out what happened and agreed. When I heard what happened and WHO was deleting threads and the such, I was like " Who are they?" Alas, it seems it has broken down from a "community" problem to just a couple people/personal issues. I hope they can be resolved OFF the boards, and we can continue our peace. While we can't hide the scar completely, some make-up over it will make it look pretty atleast. FREE shisha from Hookahkings! haha, just kidding. I hope you guys can work it all out. We've lost several prominent members that I would trade for to keep them here. Hell, I'd even leave to get smiley and EL to come back. Oh well, what happened, happened.

QUOTE (hbomb @ May 4 2007, 01:15 PM) People are going to continue to ask until there's some official thread put up explaining things. Also, without some kind of public closure to the debacle, the same thing can keep happening over and over. I agree. I believe the mods need to come to some kind of understanding on what to post. It seems 1/4 of the people know EXACTLY what's going on, and say nothing, another 1/4 has some clue, but won't comment because they aren't sure, and the rest of us (1/2 if my math is right, lol) have no clue. Sean, I respect you more than anyone else on the forum. You've helped me out so much. I just don't feel it's fair for you and the others to have to explain it over and over again. A simple thread that would get stickied and locked would suffice. Again, not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers.

QUOTE (Dr.Moobs @ May 4 2007, 12:52 PM) Hookah Joe, If you were here when it first happened you would have noticed what happened. Please do visit our chat, hookahforumchat.com Their is more than several people their that would be happy enough to inform you of the previous events. I think it may have been in the week or two i was gone... oh well.

QUOTE (Gaara @ May 4 2007, 07:06 AM) That sucks for you. Had a couple of carpet burns but learned this trick where you cut the top fibers of the carpet and then use this specific bleach so that it'll be evened out. Works perfectly and my carpet still looks pretty new. I've had coals fall onto the floor, but got them quick. I accidently dumped a charcoal into the garbage can. I saw the smoke and dug through the trash, but could NOT find the coal, but it was still smoking. went RIGHT through the garbage can, and partially into the linolium floor, haha. Mother dearest wasn't too pleased.

QUOTE (Erica @ May 4 2007, 11:25 AM) Sad to see you go.... but I do believe things are going to get worked out... and if you have to ask what is going on it doesn't concern you That's the FIRST time I've ever disagreed with Erica. Us regular members are somewhat confused. We have NO clue what's going on. All we see is people getting banned, random threads popping up with arguements and debates. Some members would start chiming in with THEIR opinions and could make things worse, however we still have a right to know. I see this place as a nice happy hookah family. ALL families have problems, yet they work them out. Keeping secrets can only make things worse. The regular members are confused and told " It doesn't concern you, don't worry about it" which worries us. It's insulting when a part of your family says, " this doesn't concern you" Even if it's between certain people, the rest of the family has a right to know. When someone random tells them, rumors start, and things get worse. I'm not trying to demand we know righ now what happened, but a little summary from someone whose unbiased would be nice. a note from each party would be great. We do worry, because we care about our fellow friends, and hope you feel the same, but we feel unloved when people keep things from us. If it's something THAT serious, little snippits and popups about it on the forum wouldn't happen. Anytime someone asks what happens, the thread is deleted. We talk about serious discussions, on how the government tells lies and keeps secrets from their countrymen. It's the same thing that's beginning to happen here. I hope I do not piss off anymore, or make you angry. I'm just saying, Either keep ALL of it in PM's and personal matter, or make it open on the forums. I wish you fair travels and luck in the future Narghile club.

QUOTE (Skimo @ May 2 2007, 08:22 PM) aww thanks Erica, I feel loved Now how do you feel? Haha, Welcome back man!

I threw my jars in the freezer yesterday, and plan to see how it goes. Hopefully I can get some taste from my peach! you put your shisha in the freezer? if so why? lol Lol speel... Smiley raves that it intensifies the flavor, as the juice is frozen to the tobacco. Read a couple reviews where AFTER the freezer method was implied, the shisha was more flavorfull and lasted longer. I had NO flavor at all from my peach, so I said- what the hell, might as well try it! I'll let you know how it goes later tonight.

QUOTE (hbomb @ Apr 23 2007, 04:32 PM) i love pickled ginger, and was just talking last night about wanting to smoke it after eating some with my sushi. Haha, I do that EVERYTIME I get sushi. What's your favorite type of roll?

QUOTE (DarkD3vil @ Apr 24 2007, 10:52 AM) i love this game i live on expert have been since it came out.. so much fun and i can only beat jordan on expert with another person on bass.. Nice dude. I'm actually returning my PS2 and guitar hero. It was a $200 I didn't need to spend. I could go next door and play at my friend's house. I called Gamestop, the place I bought at ( yesterday), and told them I wanted to return it, because I really didn't like the PS2 design, or the graphics. he said they could take the PS2 back for the $109 I bought it for, but the guitar hero couldn't be taken back as new. He goes " We simply cannot take back an item and re-sell it as new because you didn't like it", with an attitude. I asked him how much they would take for the guitar hero used, and was told " It was WORTH $22". I laughed, and asked if he was joking. So, I plan on bringing the PS2 back, getting my $110, then, selling the guitar bundle. It's Brand new, with everything there. Maybe I'll sell it for 50 or 60...

QUOTE (Akkbar @ Apr 23 2007, 10:36 AM) male or female...? ...cuz i love pale red haired freckled women. Id move to ireland, but im engaged... haha weird dude. I love juiced apple and ginger, so It may be interesting. But, if they dont hit it just right, it could taste like pickled ginger for sushi(which i like to eat, not smoke haha), or an overpowering spice. Interesting idea though!

I would guess some authentic drinks, and then bottled water/ random soda? A neat idea would be to offer "packages" This flavor bowl+ this is base+ this kind of drink. I would assume doing something like that would be nice, and noob friendly, as well as seasoned pros.

QUOTE (NargileClub @ Apr 22 2007, 12:42 PM) QUOTE (Twang @ Apr 22 2007, 09:01 AM) Curious if anyone else drinks kava, and what they thought of it. We serve Kava at Smiley's ultimate hookah. I love Kava It makes me feel Happy Smiley I thought I was the only one drinking Kava! I usually find it enjoyable NOT straight. I can handle the taste, but it doesn't go well with the shisha flavors at all, lol. Depending on what I am smoking, I'll make a kava drink to go along. Gives a very nice feeling to it, and I enjoy it greatly. Anyone got some nice recipes they'd share?

QUOTE (kornkitten42 @ Apr 22 2007, 01:09 AM) well most of you know i work for the police department. Well i found out some interesting news and i'm PISSED off....... I found out today that since 4/12 i've been driving around with a SUSPENDED license!wtf??????? I found this out due to a routine test of our systems. We are not allowed to run anybody in our systems without officer approval, well our system kept messing up so to do a test , i ran myself on our dshmv database. since we are allowed in such instances to make sure all is well and that the system has no gliches. Well, i looked at my dshmv report and it said in big bold letters SUSPENDED and i FLIPPED out. It said it has been suspended to due an auto accident that i failed to have insurance on my car. which is complete BS since i've had insurance on this particular car since august when i bought it. Now, the officer (not my guys and gals) that handled the wreck was from a different jurisdiction since our guys are not allowed to handle police employee related incidents due to favoritism, so another officer came in and 1st off didn't even talk to me. I was rushed into the ambulance (i was t-boned) and didn't come in to ask for any of my info or what happened. Actually the only time i saw that officer was when she came into the ambulance when they were putting my iv in and put me up to the heart monitor was to make me sign the ticket (yeah.. so my fault.... rolls eyes) but never the less she had my wallet and my captian was there to make sure everything went all right and that i made it to the hospital without having a heart attack. (They wouldnt release me because i was on a dangerous level and my captian ORDERED me to go to the hospital which i'm glad he did but beside the point.) but my medical bills from the wreck are paid for, the other car and mine were fixed due to my insurance...SO now..... i'm freaking out. DMV is closed until tuesday...... and I dont know what to do. I am so angry right now Now i'm not really sue happy, but I will sue that department if my insurance drops me, and if i get in trouble from my police chief or have any hassles about reinstatement. I am soooo pissed. WHAT IF I HAD GOTTEN INTO A WRECK OR PULLED OVER SINCE THE 12TH??!??!? I WOULD BE SCREWED! no notices, no nothing. GRRRRRRRRR...... Sorry to hear that. My FIRST car ( 96 olds cierra, haha), caused something similar. I was on my way home from work, and on a main road. It was about 8pm, and dark. I was changing something on my ipod to the next song, but still had my eyes on the road. Kinda, touch-feel out the controls. I was doing 45mph, and out of nowhere, a deer ran across. I wound up swerving, and hitting a semi-fallen over tree at 45 mph. My car went over the tree, and I did a corkscrew through the air, landing sideways. I climbed out of my car, and knowing i had a concussion. I was just layin on the ground, and people rushed over. When the cop came, they didn't ask if I was okay, and when Iasked for their names and badge number, I was given no answer. 5 days later, I get a careless driving ticket in the mail. Apparently when i told them " I changed my ipod, but still had both eyes on the road", it didnt' matter. In NJ, any moving violation carries a $250 surcharge. So, I wound up spending $400, and totalled my car. That sucks Korn, It's happened to some of my friends, and they were ARRESTED. like, thrown against their car and handcuffed for it.

QUOTE (EvansLight @ Apr 21 2007, 06:40 PM) Oh trust me being a guitarist is no help. I am one, and i sucked somethin horrid on it at first. Hes good on expert now from practice. About all guitar helps on for this game is a sense of rhythm, speed picking, and ability to get your fingers into weird positions, and not cramping as much. Thats it XD I am not on expert myself, beaten all 3 other settings, and got all 5 stars on easy and medium, and working on em for hard. I am also extremely close to beating jordan on expert Nice dude. I was enjoying free bird, so much we played it all night last night, haha. Me and this new kid on each level of difficulty. On medium, I could go through most of the solo with my back to the screen. It gets so addicting though, and I fear I may need to go buy a 360.

QUOTE (djnick @ Apr 21 2007, 05:34 PM) QUOTE (ASUSEAN1 @ Apr 21 2007, 12:33 PM) The 15 dollar hookah was def. worth the 15 dollars, you get what you pay for. I have seen 40 dollar hookahs that smoke worse than the 15 dollar hookah. Personally I think the thing smokes like a champ. Pina Colada isn't a great flavor no matter what brand you are smoking. You should def. try the horchata and peach before you decide to say this brand sucks. And if you still don't like it then put it in the review section. Personally i think AA is horrible and al waha only has one good flavor. Those two brands don't even stand up to smileys shisha I never said that it wasnt worth it, i said it was only worth the $15 it was valued, its far from a perfect hookah, actually its a very cheap hookah but for the price it does what its supposed to do but i saw way to many people saying it is an amazing hookah when it is not. So now everyone is justifying by saying its because of the flavor? Well if smiley wants to sell me his product why would he sample me his "mediocre" flavor? I have had some great pina colladas from others brands i have no idea what your talking about. I even have a few jars on order from other "raved" flavors that i will put to rest once i receive it. And for the record, your entitled to your opinion about AA and AW, some will disagree some will agree, i personally think both companies have a many flavors that standout from other brands, but i will never say one brand is the best all around because it certainly isnt true with any brand. Sorry, I had to make a little input. In your post before this, You say everyone is entitled to their OWN opinion. Yet, the bold is a contradiction to that statement. You're basically putting opinion vs. Opinion, which is like debating over religion or politics- No one proves their point, and everyone gets angry. I think you believe everyone is arguing with your opinion. Atleast, that's the mistake you seem to be making. If you had a problem with a flavor, wouldn't it be smarter to contact Smiley Via PM? Let's say you have a product out there, hell, let's even say it's shisha. You have been in the business awhile, and 98% of your customer feedback on the top forum is positive. Well, That means you have little room for improvement. Someone comes onto this forum ( A new person, who hasn't been here long at all, but you respect their opinion nonetheless). And they completely bad mouth your product. Well, you would want to help and try to satisfy them correct? Imagine your wife bakes a cake, and the neighbor buys it. Now, there is a problem, and this neighbor doesn't like the cake, despite others who do. Now, the neighbor comes over and calmly explains what he didn't like. You thank him, and offer to make it up to him. But when your neighbor rushes over and starts with " Your wife can't bake for shit, it sucks, I never want it again...!" You would probally defend your wife correct? You can see why Smiley responded in that manner. I think it would have been better to post it in the review section, and ask for help in this part of the forum. Wearing a redshirt and jumping into a ring full of bulls with a paintball gun is a bad idea. Sorry for the rant, just feel that a public insult wasn't neccesary. A nice PM could have avoided all the problems. Take me for instance, I have a jar of peach with NO flavor. Now, Smiley even OFFERED ways to help fix your dilemma, and the attitude persisted. Now that I have it in my friends and all stirred up, I will try it again.

I played it on the playstation for the first time today. It was really confusing to start. My friend who has it, plays the guitar in real life. So, he was doing everything on expert with very few mistakes. It was amazing to watch. Me and some new kids tried freebird... It ended at the solo, haha.

My Neighbors can get rediculous. They all were sayin things about how I had weed in it, and they could smell it from my bong... Just makes me laugh. I still think my dad callin it "shishum" was the funniest one I've heard. I live on a main street, and ALOT of cars slow down to look, haha.

Mn hookah- SMILEY'S Prickley pear Smell: A very distinct, sweet pear with a "bite" to it somewhere. Looks: Finely chopped, very few if any stems. Extremely wet. I would suggest stirring it, and putting it in your fridge. Taste: A very distinct pear, with a SWEET bite to it. Very tasty. Smoke: I've got watermelon/prickley pear, with 2.5 3kings on it, and I can hide the T.V. on an AVERAGE hit, BEST smoking i've had. Overall: I'm sure i've missed something, but this is great. A great, natural pear taste, and a sweet/tangy taste. Kind of like the contrast of sweet n sour sauce, but not that drastic. One of my favorite Smiley flavors 10/10.
