Welch's grape! that's what it was! thanks a lot guys. will search for the lemon when im smoking it tonight

Şerbetli makes one of the best Double Apples anywhere. Good luck finding it though. It's turkish and NO ONE in the US retails it in online. there's some German and British sites that sell it but it's not the same stuff I smoked in Turkey cause of EU tobacco laws or something. if you can find this stuff please let me know!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS STUFF? i'm almost 100% sure it smells like it's supposed to smell. i made a TINY hole in FIRST the bag when i got it to smell it so my climate didn't touch the tobacco yet but this stuff smells BIZARRE. im mainly getting rose but there's some strong underlying flavors too. if i get super close it starts to smell like nail polish remover BLAGH. still. it smells ridiculosly sweet and flowery. gonna smoke it tonight maybe. Eric, WHAT IS IN THIS?!

QUOTE (supersubby @ Aug 22 2009, 03:54 PM) I'm sittin in the kitchen and watching food network. now thats the ultimate test! same! i was watching Giada make some sweet bean and herb salad. it was a bad idea... had some nice pasta and chicken for iftar though.

Romman Ivory Coast I bought a 50 g pack of this from HS and smoked it immediately from a standard Egyptian bowl on a KM exotica with tap water and 4 large ice cubs. Standard KM hose lots of holes on the foil, 2 Cocos initially and then another 2 to finish the session. First impression: dig the new packaging. I haven't bought Romman in 2 years. Look: Tobacco looks clean, few stems, nice golden, honey-like color. About as wet as Nakhla, which I think is a sympton of 50 g packs of the stuff. Smell: Pretty good. but ALL grapefruit. dead on, fresh grapefruit smell but I have no idea who had the bright idea of putting such a subtle taste as pineapple with an overbearing sour taste like grapefruit. i could not smell or taste the pineapple whatsoever and my cousins couldn't either. or my mom. although she did say there was "something else" Taste: exactly like the smell. AWESOME. tasted way sour and i was mighty impressed by that. Smoke density: it took a lot of heat (two full Cocos on a small Egyptian to get it going) but once it did, it was very good. not as good as Starbuzz but i was pleased. Buzz: strong. not Tang strong but stronger than...AF. if that buzzes anyone... I smoked this for about 1.5 hours. flavor lasted throughout. honestly we were all beat by it before it was done with us. could've smoked for at least half an hour more. overall, 9/10. definitely gonna buy more of this because the taste is a good change from the general, sweet-tasting tobacco people usually smoke

Anyone know where I can get a KM supreme hose? i've looked at all the major sites no one has them. would the ultimate at HC or the new ones at HS be good substitutes? also would be willing to buy one or two off some HF members. thanks

what's up with everyone's fascination with banning? and wanting to see WHO got banned and why? too much guys. they get banned, move on. it's no biggie and it's a shame how much people talk about it

this sounds hard to believe so im gonna go with crazy solutions here... people's taste buds naturally change over time. stuff you liked as a kid you may hate now and vice versa. in other words, maybe your taste buds hate hookah now. God help you if that's the case... have someone else whose opinion you would trust smoke out of your set-up. if they think it's good tasting and get good clouds...you owe me a 250 g. pack my friend

Hey guys so I'm going back to school in about 2 weeks and want to make an order that will last me about a year. My budget is around $150 for tobacco and i need a new hose. the hose is important: i really want an ultimate KM. in blue. no one has it! help. please. i could settle for another KM hose and honestly i think it'll just end up being a regular one from Hookahcompany. for tobacco I want mainly literally whatever. i would like to try whatever Romman has that's generally accepted as their BEST stuff (goodtimes?) there must be these AF: watermelon vanilla mint nak: have a bunch of double apple and really enjoyed it. would like to get another one of theirs to see if it's as good. i NEED the following: sb lemon tea and fantasia pink lemonade also required is Tangiers Lucid Cocoa cause that's some of the best stuff i've ever smoked. I think all this togther is like $75 generally. where would be the best place to get all this from? i love HC and i'd prefer them but texashookah is also very nice and they price match. does anyone do free shipping? i haven't bought anything new in like 6 months so im out of touch with the vendors. what other tobacco should i get and where should i get this all from? THANKS!!! (i know this is lazy of me but we all love to do this kind of research right )

i think im gonna email some of the guys i met at the Grand Bazaar over there to see if they'd ship me some of this stuff. the mint and cappuccino are without a doubt two of the best flavors i've ever tried. and i get great tangiers sessions. i have a bit of the stuff left over, mainly peach capp and apple. smoked the capp last night it was amaaaazing. wettest shit out there. will keep updated

I'm not going to say that that's impossible - but it is highly unlikely right now. That would be like banning apple pie here. assuming apple pie caused emphysema.

guys relax... this is actually popular amongst most turks and honestly i think it's great. i HATE cigarettes and this is what that targets. i won't be smoking hookah in a bank or the grocery store anyways...like here, this is exempt in hookah bars. what the hell is wrong with that? and for those who hate on the government...the people support this. we're not in an Orwell novel; ease off the misplaced hate

i just came back from 2 months from istanbul and i saw those being sold often. you didn't really even get ripped off that's almost what is considered fair for it i believe. turkey isn't cheap and the pipes there are only maybe 60% of what we pay for here plus that thing is a beaut. they had some such amazing nargile there. ahhh i miss it!

so im definitely a little late on the upkeep and please forgive me for not just searching for the answer to this (there are 87 pages to this thread though...), but can I get a mini...? and for how much?

with a KM or from what I hear Magdy Zidan (i never smoked out of one) or some Syrians - you can't go wrong. it's all about looks at that point. quality wise they're all pretty damn awesome. MYA are good too i guess but the price isn't worth it to me when you get a nice more "traditional" nargile. i have the 40" km exotica and even my fairly oblivious friends notice the effortless draw and overall badassness as compared to a regular egyptian i got from HS gothookahs.com; get the exotica. or if you got money (and know it) buy the disgustingly sexy nar mashal from hookahcompany

QUOTE (shisha fan @ Jul 5 2009, 04:01 PM) QUOTE (The Caterpillar @ Jul 5 2009, 09:11 PM) My theory on Nak mixed fruits is this: it is the leftover fruity shit that fell off the belt in the processing plant. They sweep it all together and sell it as opposed to throwing it out. that applies to all mixed fruit flavors by all brands, they`re just leftovers. but its nowhere near as bad as you say. if you want cardboard taste, try al waha peach. sir! i respectfully disagree! al-waha peach tastes like new car smell. however, mixed with al-fakher mango it's one of the favorites in my dorm-room-turned-hookah-bar

QUOTE (arcane @ Jul 7 2009, 02:22 AM) QUOTE (ryno @ Jul 7 2009, 04:56 AM) That last base is absolutely beautiful! yep...any chance you're gonna sell it OP? hahaha! i did see 2 more of the same base...one was blue though. you sayin you wanna make a purchase...?

shit yeah, that "glyph" from HS does look a hell of a lot like that smaller green one. nice! my first Syrian hookahs. i became more and more convinced that they were syrians but the screw-in thing threw me off. i don't really like that they screw into the base but whatevs

So I bought these two nargile here in istanbul and at first I thought they were just crappy mya's (well, the big one at least) but now im pretty sure they're both syrians...except a few things are odd. first, they both SCREW into the base. odd. second, do syrians generally divide into so many parts? they're both heavy as hell, at least 4 lbs in the big stem so Im very confident they're both solid brass. except the down stems i was told were copper; they definitely look and feel copper too. the bases = awesome. no complaints. nice clean paintings and the glass seems very legit. oh and the coin is a 1 lira piece. it's the same size as a quarter i think.

Believe you me, Egypt does not have a higher standard of manufacturing than Mexico. The physics of a narghile are not hard to reproduce: it's evidently hard to make them consistently inexpensive and attractive. Import costs from Mexico would be substantially cheaper than through Egyptian distributors. I endorse this plan wholeheartedly, Eric. And by "endorse", I mean I will buy one. Wow, ok, lets just ship more jobs to different countries and send even more of our USD over there as well, what a great idea, like we really don't have enough problems with outsourcing and shit like that. Have you looked around at the economy lately? It blows, it is horrible, you know what a majority of it is from??? Outsourcing and importing more shit than we export. There is no doubt in my mind that mexico will be cheaper, in fact, I bet it would be cheaper, I simply don't like the idea of taking more jobs away from Americans and giving them to Mexicans, along with our money. um. are you suggesting we go with mercantilism again? economics is far more complicated than just having everything made in your country

QUOTE (NazarHookah @ Jun 28 2009, 07:34 AM) Hehe, Yes I am in Turkey at the moment too....Kadikoy to be exact is the closest known place to me, which is in Istanbul. Hookahs are pretty abundant here, and just like everyone has stated....gotta make the relationships...and then search through that route. If that doesn't work, drive the hard bargain and don't be afraid to walk away. There is a 95% chance they will run after you to make the sale and maybe throw in some goodies. You're in Kadıköy no way! Im im Beyoğlu I'll be here till end of July. I found two wholesale hookah shops in Beyazit and the grand bazaar and im confident the hookahs they sell are top quality. one guy offered 50 lira immediately so I think this is the legit place to buy em. How long you here for?

what about quality? i mean they look and feel like good hookahs. shoukd this be enough for me? also, is it really ridiculous to pay $50 for one of these? Maybe it is i dunno but that seems like a fair price if these are legit, all-brass Syrians

Hey everyone, So I'm here in Istanbul, Turkey for 2 months as an intern and they have some amaaazing hookahs for sale. They all look Syrian. I'm definitely going to buy one but I wanted to know if people had any advice on which ones to buy and how much to buy them for. I'm fairly certain these guys buy them in bulk for like $10 each so I'm not going to pay as much as I would in the states. Most reasonable offers I've gotten have been around $50 - $70 for all brass (they claim) 35" + hookahs and beautiful bases. I still think that's a bit much. Anyone bought hookahs here before!? Here are some pictures. hope this upload works.

you got it bulldog. you want my address and shit here or should we wait for PMs to come back up?

bumping now it's 2 un-opened 250g of regular Tangiers Passionfruit. sell, trade, whatevs. PM me
