mushrat Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Soup, I'll send you Ma'asell for nothing in return. I can get about any brand of Nakhla here for 3.99 a 250. I know it can be scary but i can get it locally and some flavours are really not bad. Once the place with the Sara 2 apple gets more I'll send you a tub of that... PM me. So, if it gets caught by customes, can you just chose not to pay the bill and they keep the Ma'asell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmexx Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hmm, well I'm in Montreal here and I have a few local places that will sell it to me "under the table". It's really expensive if I were to buy it at a local grocery store (There are a few Arab grocery stores here so it's not too hard to find). I decided to try ordering on-line and so far (crosses fingers) I've been pretty lucky. I've ordered shisha tobacco alone twice. The first time it got held back a bit in customs but no biggy, I had three boxes. The second time from southsmoke.com it was written on the customs slip (from the states) that they were shipping 5 boxes of shisha with two hoses. I got it 7 business days from when I placed my order. I have yet to receive customs tax (thank god) and I hope I never will! In the end, with the shipping and all that, it comes out to a little under 20 canadian for a box. I'm talking about premium flavours though, like Al Amir. Give it a try, if they try to charge you customs duty just refuse the box. Try it out with two boxes, I don't suggest ordering 10kg of this stuff at once. If you have any other questions about what I did, PM me. Oh yeah, if the place will ship by USPS your chances are better not to get charged in customs. Check out southsmoke.com, they're really cool there and will help you out if you have any questions!Happy smoking,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy smoking, Jon[/quote] Some people have bad experiences with them. Quite often they are out of stock and then try to replace it with something what they call "similar" without even telling you.

gunsboy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada. Shisha tobacco is very expensive. They used to sell the AlNakhla 250g Double Apple for $45-48 (approx $38-40 USD). Now it is a cheaper $25 (approx $22USD, under the table). I do not mind the double price if the quality was good. Some of thattobacco is worthless, it is too old and too rotten and dry and it tastes like crap if it has any taste. I rarely came across a fresh patch of it. Recently, I looked online and I ordered 1 kg of Golden AlFakher from www.[url=http://ca.f331.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter?MsgId=4951_108861972_33753_1395_1078_0_139713_3442_835665410&Idx=2&YY=35506&inc=100&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b&box=Money][color="#003399"]hookah-tobacco.net[/color] . They shipped it by Ground FedEx. It costs to do that an extra 20 something dollars. It took the shipment about 13 days to get to me but I paid no customs. I just made my second order. Lets hope it is a smooth one, this one has about 2 kg of AlFakher products. I wish that there is a place to buy with fast shipping and avoids customs.

jmexx Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Trust me, I'm on my third order from southsmoke.com and I never had a problem. Order it apart from the hookah, though. I order Al Amir from them, with 1 washable hose everytime and I never had a problem, especially not with customs.Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I remember you saying that along time ago. Since I finally got a job, a hookah and more tobacco are definitly within arms reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
