Free Havana Samples From Shisha Emirates

[Mathazar]

That's right,  for helping promote their website in this
forum, the owner of the company Richard is sending me free
samples of these flavors:

Bahraini Apple (supposed to have no licorice flavor)

Eskandarani Apple

Special Apple ( suppose to be a lot stronger and more sour than Eskandarani Apple)

Grapefruit

Special Grape ( no idea what that's going to taste like )

Strawberry

Lemon

&

Banana

Pretty AWESOME deal these guys are giving me.

I had a very nice phone conversation with Rich,  and he said that
he was not trying to defend his company in his response in the thread
yesterday,  but merely try to respond to the accusations that
Havana Ma'assel was cheap tobacco, and to try to make sense out of the
pricing so that we could understand that their is a lot of OVERHEAD
involved with obtaining this ma'assel.  He said that there are
taxes,  and shipping charges,  and Customer Service they have
to cover, etc...etc..., The bottom line being that they're goal is to
make Shisha-Emirates a Customer Service Company where the Customer is
VERY well looked after.  And that costs money.  So,  I'm
not quoting Rich word for word,  but from the conversation I had
with him,  I sensed that he has a very honorable character and
lots of integrity,  and that's what they're trying to establish
for their company.  The want to establish a Customer Satisfaction
Company. 

So,  I say give these guys a break.  They're less than one
week old,  and already they're off to a pretty good start with
some attractive hookahs and what could potentially be some AWESOME
ma'assel.  I'm also going to order a 250g box of their ATI Double
Apple for $50,  because I'm a Double Apple fanatic,  and I
want to taste something different than Romman which is very good, 
but I'm a little tired of it.

I'll write up some brief reviews after I've had a chance to smoke these flavors individually.

Be Happy Everyone,  and Keep-on Posting

I hope they will get things running real nicely - and all my comments
have been meant in a contructive way. Its sad that they are now
associated with the thread gone bananas in Hookahbadass' hands.
And no Havana is by no means "cheap" tobacco in the discount meaning of the word.

[cypress]

I am sorry to say, free samples or not there are other places that sell
Havana for under 9 bucks a 250.  BNN and Tobacco Import USA sells
it for that price. 23 bucks for a 9 dollar product does not make sence.
I am not saying Shisha Emerates should change their price as they are
their own company. All I am saying is shop around for the same product
for the best price.

Even if the best flavored ma'assel costed 50 bucks a box, I would not
pay that much for it. The best quality or not.  Its like choosing
a 50 dollar bottle of rum over a 10 dollar bottle of bacardi.  I
will stick to things in my pricerange.

[HookahCulture]

Is there no limit to Mathazar's whoring for the people who stick thorns into the industry?
Come one come all, thieves and pricejackers, Mathazar will do your bidding for free samples! So now I get to hear biased reviews because Mathazar is "promoting."
Mathazar, PLEASE.

[Mathazar]

You know what,  HookahCulture,  you're a great member of this
forum. I hope you decide to stick around.  You never
cease to crack me up with your humorous posts about me whoring for free
samples

[uselessdreamer1]

i think the same about you math, lately all you do is post stupid sh*t
about stuff you cant afford. come on. do you really think we care if u
get free samples? we dont. 

[Soup]

Ok, students, here is your homework for the week: shamlessly plug a hookah company in hopes of free samples. 
Keep it up Math

[malignity]

What's the site? you can't promote the site if we don't know it.

[Mathazar]

You guys haven't got a F***ing clue what you're talking about. 
Actually,  useless,  several people DO want to know what
Havana ma'assel tastes like and how it smokes.  The only problem
they had was with the price,  which I agree is up there.  I
didn't ask for these free samples,  and I wasn't promoting this
site.  I merely pointed-out a new site which hasn't even been up a
week,  Brand Spankin New,  so I thought I'd let everyone know
that it exists.  As far as my spending money on things I can't
afford,  I agree with you 100%,  I shouldn't be discussing my
finances with childish little retards like you,  whose brain can't
assimilate simple thoughts and put them into perspective. 
Rather,  on the other hand, you simply sh*t all over someone
without the slightest concern or care that maybe others ARE interested
in what I'm discussing. There's such a thing as Forum
Ettiquette,  something that you obviously haven't discovered in
you very short life.  I hope whatever highschool you're going to
that they actually teach you something about manners.  Because you
know what buddy,  you seem to bring-out the worst in people. 
I've seen your attitude in this thread and in others,  and people
respond to you in a negative way such as I'm doing here......dork 


And,  Soup,  where did you ever get the idea that I was
plugging the company for free samples.  In my conversations with
the owner of the company,  Rich,  I found him to be a man of
high morals and standards,  who believes in his business and wants
more than anything to establish a clientele who appreciate fine
Customer Service and Support,  along with a fine product.  We
talked about price gouging and actual costs of buying in volume, 
about paying taxes and doing business legally in a fashion that won't
get him into trouble.  You may have noticed that SocialSmoke.com
no longer sells tobacco on their website,  well Rich told me it's
because the owner couldn't afford to pay his Tobacco Taxes. 
TobaccoImportUSA is a Wholesaler,  not a retail company like
Shisha Emirates.  I don't see ANY difference in the price of
Romman tobacco compared to Hookah-Emirates who may just have a better
product.  That's why I say,  give these guys a chance,
because LOTS of things can change during the course of their first year
in business.  They may offer package deals like many of the other
companies are doing,  they may even lower their prices. 
But,  believe it or not,  there are some people out there who
don't mind spending the extra couple dollars for EXCELLENT
service.  I bought my computer from a company like that, 
because the Customer Service and Support were OUTSTANDING.  God
people can be dumbasses some times.  If you do one thing in your
life,  learn to listen and to think before you talk about a
subject you know NOTHING about.

And to malignity,  the website that is under so much scrutiny is:

www.Shisha-Emirates.com 

Later Everyone!

[ioannisds]

Wow.  I have been on this forum for a couple of weeks, and between
that retarded troll hookah badass and the constant, petty, childish
pissing matches, I just don't really feel like hanging out much
anymore.  Seriously, for the past day or two I have felt like I
was magically transported back to the third grade each time I visited
the Hookah Forum.  I for one came here to learn, share some
reviews perhaps, and maybe meet some cool people from all over the
world who love hookah as much as I do.  Instead, I get the
internet equivalent of "I'm gonna kick your ass after school! 
Meet me at the bike racks after the final bell!"  Jesus
tap-dancing Christ people.  I'm flippin' out here.  I'm gonna
go smoke some Al-Waha honey.  Ya know why?  Not because it's
cheap/expensive (I have tried them all).  Not because someone said
it was OUTSTANDING.  Not because it's the latest and greatest
thing from the latest and greatest hookah online store.  I'm gonna
smoke it because I like it, and that's it.  I'm out .

[Mathazar]

Later pal 

Out with the old in with the new.  That's what this forum needs more of,  NEW BLOOD! 

[Soup]

sorry math...I was just kiddin round

you should have actually put, "im going to smoke it out of spite"
i smoked some al-waha honey tonight, it sucked unfortunately
gg no re (in regards to al-waha honey)

[Mathazar]

Okay Soup..........I also apologise.  I'm just tired of people
attacking me for posting my opinions on new companies.  I like
seeing start-up companies succeed in business.  And,  who
knows,  maybe Shisha-Emirates will make it and maybe they
won't.  "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there",  and at least
these guys have kahunas to try and make a go of it.  And I'll
support that as long as I see that they're growing and progressing in a
positive way that supports the consumer and allows themselves to also
reap the fruits of their labors.  Yes,  they're charging high
prices,  but so is Hookah-Shisha on their Romman brand. 
Hookah-Shisha's Hookahs aren't cheap either,  yet I don't see
people bitching about that.  These guys at Shisha-Emirates
responded to our outcry and lowered their prices.  I thought that
was quite admirable of them,  though their prices were outragious
before we complained about it.  The fact is,  they had an
internal problem with their Vendor,  BNN Imports,  and it
turned-out that they were overcharging Shisha-Emirates for their
tobacco.

Anyway,  I'm sorry for getting fumed at you,  but like I
said,  their just comes a boiling point in a person where you just
have to let off some steam,  and you were the person I let that
steam off on.

Friends again? 

[Soup]

Ofcourse man.

[Mathazar]

Ali........there is a possibility that I misunderstood Rich,  and
misquoted him.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.  I was
wondering why all you guys had stopped selling ma'assel on your
sites.  It was quite disappointing to me

[Mathazar]

To Ali and the members of The Hookah Forum,

I must apologise for misquoting Rich at Shisha Emirates.  I just
got off the phone with Rich,  and he told me that he NEVER said
anything about SocialSmoke not being able to afford their Tobacco
Taxes.  We did discuss taxes and what it costs Shisha Emirates to
sell their Tobacco,  and I guess that's where I got confused and
as a result misquoted Rich in my second to last post.  When I
posted this information, it had been several hours since I had spoken
to Rich,  and I just happen to have a problem retaining
information over long periods of time. 

So,  my intention was not to get Rich in trouble with Ali, 
and I DEEPLY apologise to Ali for creating this situation.  The
Hookah Forum is and has always been a great place to come and converse
with others.  I sincerely hope that people won't consider me a
source of misinformation in the future.  I'm sorry this issue had
to take place in this forum.

Thankyou for listening! 

[Mathazar]

Richard of Shisha Emirates made some comments regarding........Dan. 

Well, that's my real name,  and he's talking about me in his post above.

I'm really sorry this happened,  as my comments were WAY out of line and totally false 

[Molson]

can i give shisha emirates a tip?
move up here to canada, our tobacco is redicoulously expensive. and we don't have any online store in canada  we need one hehehe help

[Social Smoke]

I appologize for being reactionary, I wish both Tony, Rich, and
shisha-emrites.com best of luck in thier future business development.
They will still get a phone call from us, but on a whole different tone
when I return from my current business trip in New Orleans. Had I been
in Dallas this morning, I would have surely called them before replying
to the comment, but that is still no excuse.

To tell you the truth, we have been misrepresented on this forum in the
past and we've been confused with SouthSmoke.com in at least one
negative review. Because of that and a few other reasons which I'd
rather not go into,  I have become a little sensitive recently
when incorrect information about Social Smoke is spread intentionally.

Hopefully this will be my last post for a while so i can go back to
learning from you guys and improving our business... I learn when I
listen, not when I talk...

Anyways, I appologize again to Rich, Tony and Shisha-emirites.com. Good luck to them and to  everyone out there.

Ali

[TheHookah.com]

Let me give Shisha Emirates another tip. 

[Seandoo]

Wow there's certainly a lot of text in this thread! I suppose that's
good for a forum, eh? But with all the drama...man I've been out maybe
3 weeks or so and wow this certainly is interesting. I haven't seen all
this beef and bashing on people in however long I've been on here (not
that long I suppose but still...). Damn, just let people express their
opinions without getting all defensive. Haha too much drama for me to
read it all this late at night.

Anyway, that's pretty chill that there's a new place out that a forum
member gets to try out. New stuffs for us to take a look into. BTW
thanks to those who have sent and traded samples with me (Mushrat &
Daleth) - it's been really cool to try samples of stuff I otherwise
wouldn't have access to. I'm a little confused, though...Math, didn't
you give up hookah smoking maybe a month or so ago? Did you have a
change of heart or anything? Sorry if there was a post on it, but as I
said...I've been out for a few weeks.

-Sean[/quote]

Yeah,  you could say that,  I've had a change of heart.........BIGTIME!!!  

Back to my old habits of smoking the hookah all day and night long....lol

I suppose it's not funny,  but I'm TOTALLY a hookah junkie. 
I've turned into the Shisha Monster........You know,  like the
Cookie Monster on Sesame Street? 

Welcome back,  Seandoo, it's been awhile.  Sorry you have to
come back under such heated circumstances on the forum. 
But,  it would appear as though you find it mentally
stimulating   

I shouldn't laugh,  because I caused this whole dilemma,  but
fortunately all this only lasted a couple days,  and I think we're
starting to get back to normal.

By the way,  mushrat left us in a bit of a......RAGE!!!  As did a couple of other new members. 

But,  hey,  that's the nature of a forum.  Out with the old and in with the new.

To The Forum and to Mr. Egho,Once again, I regret having to post solely to defend ourselves, but since yet another baseless comment has been posted, I feel we have no choice. Please see below an e-mail received by Mr. Egho of the theHookah.com at 7:55 AM yesterday, to which we responded at 8:34 AM on the same day. In this situation, all we can do is ask to see his proof and then make decisions accordingly. Libeling Shisha Emirates, instead of providing the requested proof, just casts serious doubt as to whether or not Mr. Egho is the owner of the one picture he is complaining about. No company I know, receives an e-mail out of the blue, asking or telling them to make a change on their webpage, and then blindly complies - Shisha Emirates will not be the first.
