Outrageous Tobacco Prices


Recommended Posts

Well hello there hookah fans and lovers. I'm posting this topic for those who live in the south east asia region or Brunei Darussalam. Yesterday i went to the hookah bar in my country named sugar and spice restaurant. It's a comfortable place which is run by arabian guys and the food is great. My point is that when i ask the owner of the hookah bar about how much is he saling his shisha 50 g pack. I was shock to hear that it's 8 Bruniean dollar (5 Us dollar). I was like wtf that too damn expensive for a 50 g. He keep talking that it's premium tobacco and Al Fakher is the best brand there is. I was like dude have you heard starbuzz? He said no. The point is i can buy any shisha for 5-4 Bruneian dollar (3.12 us dollar) else where. Nakhla cost around 4 dollar and the AF (couldn't figure fake or real one) cost 5 Bruneian dollar. He just smile and said business is business. What a greedy man he is.

This guy is like sucking blood on the tobacco prices. I'm piss off at him for ripping people of. And for a session it cost 10 bruneian dollar with is very expensive. I was like asking him to do a deal with me ordering shisha tobacco from the internet to cut the cost but no he's like 'You can buy from me evertime' Well my answer is hell no for 8 dollar thats way too much for me and i don't mind smoking fake brand but its a decend price.

I'm like wondering to open a hookah bar soon to give this guy a challange. So if i'm succeed in opening hookah i'll be the youngest one ever to run a hookah bar. So if any one in this forum want to take a vacation feel free to stop at my hookah bar anytime and i give you guys a 30 discount so much love from me. Keep smoking shisha and avoid being greedy.

I highly doubt you're going to open your own Hookah bar.

If i can't open another hookah bar here in my country i might as well retail hookah,shisha and stuff that are related to hookah for what is decent not making high profit like the guy who owns the hookah bar. But i'll definetly will give one hell of a fight for the prices. So if i succeed in doing this i'm going to be the happiest person ever.

You know what? I wish you the best of luck, those people are horrible. My friend had just gotten his first hookah but had gotten some nasty coals that I wasn't about to let him use. I was out of coals period, so we went on a coal hunt. We found a place that sold them... They had ONE roll of 33mm 3K that they were selling for a whopping $10. Don't know what they're going to do with their 5 tubs of 2+ year old Pharoahs. Sadistic bastards. angry.gif

hey man in singapore, nakhla is 60US for 250g

5US is not tht crazy for 50g



You can get nakhla like 3US dollar elsewhere don't that just make you mad? to me 5US dollar is quite alot it's twice the price of the tobacco. So my point is why even bother buying with them since you can order online. For me i want others in my country to take notice that they have been paying twice for the shisha. There's not many place to buy shisha in my country thats the point i'm posting this topic to educate other asian or bruneian that they have been rip-off. Peace smile.gif

Sadly i myself don't even have a phunnel bowl, im dieing to try one but i never noticed one around here... i can get bowls in all sizes and mix bowls (double triple heads)
in terms of accessories i have wind shilds, traditional hoses, modded hoses, metal screens maybe, when ill get to kfar yasif ill know better of what i can get.
And right now i can get Nakhla, Al Waha (maybe) and El Sultan which i don't know if i can get this brand or want to sense i heard it sucks so selling it will be pointless.

I was in Canada last week. I found a shop outside the Niagara Falls area that wanted 23.50 for a 250 Tub of El Nakhla Cola...... Nuts to that..


hey, thats not too bad actually.

Street price of 50 g nakhla boxes usually go for about $15 CAD here.

edit: Do you remember where the shop was? I live in that area during the school year and the only place I've found sells nakhla in only 50g denominations Edited by L'Oignon

That expensive by uk standards, and the uk is expensive compared to the us. Its very expensive considering its in asia. my freind went to iran on holiday to see his family, and he got 250g of nakhla for 20p around 40 cent, which is soooo cheap, he always brings me back around a kilo, which lasts me ages and i dont even have to pay for it!! rolleyes.gif

Yeah it's a sad story for us here outside the USA. I hope to find a decent price for shisha here in my country. Thats why i want to open a hookah bar so that people can pay half the price of the shisha. Everything is expensive here even the fake ones so there is no choice but to buy them when ordering online is not an option.
