mushrat Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Isafa what? Which island you from anyway? I grew up on St. Thomas. I stand by my statements. His prices are high. It costs the same amount of money to send tobacco to a customer in ANY state in the Union. To say that his costs to different states are different is a falsehood, to put it plainly. His quality is questionable at best. And he's got some 30 second wonder coming in here and insulting the rest of us because we call "bullsh*t" on his company and call "bullsh*t" again on his snowjob letter. This starting to sound like the Israeli guys and that other company? We're NOT impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOKAH BADASS Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I am from Port Alucroix to answer your question. As an Accountant I refer you to the Jenkins Act which will school you on the fact that every State is entitled to collect taxes from web merchants in accordance with their individual tax schedules. So much for me setting forth "falsehoods" - what a dope! By the way, I am not anyone's puppet. I don't even know this guy, but you are a bunch of thugs ganging up on this poor guy.Isfahan is Tombeic. Copper colored tobacco leaf. This is smoked in a one hole head with the coals on the top. This will make you a little more pleasant indeed.Also, Romman Tobacco sucks. It's a Mazzawi product, and he produces the same nasty tobacco to co-brand for many companies all over the globe.Please get your facts straight.

great glavin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 To be more on the topic, this is price gouging or just sloppy pricing and poor research. I buy havana locally for $5 for 50 grams (same cost as romman in his store) and yet this company has to charge $7 as an apparent online business??? And its not a matter of taste when it comes to havana, ive smoked it, its not consistent or all that great (besides double apple, which i gave a modest review of 8.5 out of 10). The cut is just like al waha and nahkla and most of their flavors DO pale in comparision to them. The tobacco shop i am buying this from is offering special deals on it too, why??? He cant sell it at even that price, and this guy demanded top quality reasonably priced hookahs and tobacco (all of the hookahs he has for sale are mya's) and probably got suckered into buying this weaksauce brand by some fast talking salesman. Hookah badass: "if you want to buy your peasant shisha from anonymous web merchants..." ??? seems to be slightly endorseing and challanging at the same time, are you telling the forum that havana brand is worth paying $7 for 50 grams and $22.25 for 250 grams, and if so which flavors do you stand by, the same ones i STRONGLY discredited as being quality? Also premium retail or not, the tobacco is still the same tobacco for 1/3 of the price. When do premium brands sell for less than inferior brands anyways?

Mathazar Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Hmmm.....it's THAT bad, ha? Bummer.....I really did want to try that Grapefruit and the ATI Double Apple. Well, they've got a VERY cool all silver 6 hose rotator hookah with Auto-Seal that I'm interested in. Nobody else has it. I'm wondering if these guys at Shisha-Emirates would come significantly down in price from $300 so I can buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great glavin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I see he changed the price on the 50 grams to $4.60. That's pretty reasonable to try out a possible great grapefruit Mathazar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great glavin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 After considering the new price and the flavors i havent tried yet that emigrates has from havana, ill probably end up buying some just to verify my assumptions about the rest of the brand.

Mathazar Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Which flavors are you planning on ordering and when do you think you'll be reviewing them? I was going to place my order on the 23rd of this month, and depending on what they charge for shipping, I was going to order Overnight Shipping. I suppose, considering your comments about the tobacco that it's probably not worth Overnight Shipping. Yeah, maybe I'll just do Ground. I gotta stop Overnight Shipping everything, as it's getting VERY expensive. Aside from the Grapefruit, I thought I'd order some of that ATI Double Apple if the price is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great glavin Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 i was planning on sampling the cola and a few choice apples, the review would be in awhile though, ive got alot of financial things to get situated before ordering more things online.

Kofod Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 HOOKAH BADASS I don't like your tone towards the other members and reading your last post makes me wonder if further posting and answering to you would be worth it. But no matter how many taxes you can come up with - Shisha is more heavily taxed in UK than in US. Being an accountant does not change that fact - I don't know the tax system of every state, but you just come up with the calculation for whatever state you want value and point taxes for a pack of Shisha and I shall present you for the UK equivalent. Then we will find out that you did'nt know what you where talking about when you talked about UK taxes. Lets for example take a 1 dollar (50/50 on cost and shipping) pack of 50 gr shisha. You just make the calculus on what costprice it will add up to for the US importer and I will second you on the UK calculus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Kofod.........don't stop posting because of a malicious and rude poster such as BADASS. I'm considering banning him for his negative attitude in the forum and toward other respected members. BADASS, this is a WARNING to you to Shape-up or Ship-out. We don't encourage flamewars in this forum. There's nothing wrong with a heated debate once in awhile. Personally, I find it mentally stimulating at times. But, when a new member comes to this forum and sets out to insult and BASH respected members of the forum using profanity such as you did, I'm sure the other Moderators and Members would agree that a banning is in order. Personally, I'm offended by the name "BADASS". Your name and your negative attitude toward forum members leads me to believe that you have NO respect for this forum, and from viewing your childish personality, I don't feel that you're going to be a valuable asset to this forum anytime soon. If I'm wrong about you, then please forgive me. But your forum ettiquete and manners sofar have been LESS than acceptable. So if you continue to BASH other members, I'll have no choice but to BAN you. Capeche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ok ass.... states are entitled to charge what they want. but none of the DO. Unless your company is actually CHARGING and COLLECTING those extra fees and taxes the states are entitled to, and sending them a check quarterly, it has no effect. I'd also point out its the consumers responibility to pay the taxes on both tobacco and internet sales as a whole, NOT the company. They only have to pay the taxes for te state they are located in. Port whatever it is is NOT in the USVI as your location flag indicates. Probably the BVI. Math: warn away... I'll check in on this wjole forum again in a few months. See if things have improved. You guys feel free to buy from these guys, and if you don't think ole ass here isn't connected with them....i still got some land for ya. BYE FOR NOW.

HookahCulture Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Don't consider. DO IT. If you have the power, DO IT. Driving people away isn't supposed to be what this place is supposed to be, DUH!

HookahCulture Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 On another note real quick, I can't believe that we're being bullied as to what's quality and what's not, especially by someone putting down Al Fakher and only has FOUR POSTS under his belt. Besides which he calls ma'asell "shisha." Nuff said there haha. Isn't Nakhla the most popular brand in the world by sheer sales volume? So therefore how can Havana surpass it in such a short time? Seems to me I'll try it myself, but NOT from a website. Or maybe I will, just to prove I can get it for LESS THAN HALF of $22.00 as a consumer and not a wholesale purchaser. As Kofod said, the consumer will go to the site with the lowest price regardless of what they call themselves. In our case, we'll buy from a reputable dealer and not some site that popped up last week. I'll try to find Havana 50g's locally for a few bucks....... The plead for a detailed review of the Havana Eskandrani still stands..... hopefully I find it locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
