My 3 Kings are here!

[MR Bubble]

Wow! Just got my 3 Kings in today. Now that was fast! Here's one for you: In Burmingham, Alabama in a Middle-Eastern Grocery store called Naji's Pita Gourmet. Their website is [url="http://www.pita.net"]www.pita.net[/url] . Worth a shot if you want some Nakhla. Also several types/brands of coals are available as well as a few small, inexpensive hookahs. Honestly, I wouldn't buy any of them, but they got lots of Nakhla as well as a lot of middle eastern foods, spices and housewares (coals are listed under housewares). I believe I will be ordering grape leaves and falafel mix from the very soon. Here's why I will give them my business:
1. 10 and some change for 3 kings.
2. decent selection of EN. (El Nakhla)
3 Decent selection of foods and other items.
4. Above all else: CUSTOMER SERVICE! I called them Saturday morning at 0900 hrs and placed an order by phone. The nice lady said she would try to get it out first thing Tueday (Monday being a holiday for some folks), but did not know how long it would take, or if UPS could even ship it to me because I live in West Central Louisiana and they have had serious problems getting merchandise out this way lately. She said they would call if there was a problem.
Today (Wednesday pm) I got home and found the box at my door. Of course, I still owe hookahcompany.com some business and hookah-shisha.com some bidness too, but with service like this (I'm sure UPS had a big role to play) how can I not be a repeat customer?
Oh, by the way, sorry if I haven't been contributing much these days. I've been pretty busy with getting aircrews outfitted for the FEMA (F^ck Expecting Much Assistance) mission. Things are mellowing out a little now, but for the first several days it was a mad house as well as the week end. I will be payed bunches  in overtime. But anyhow, I owe several PM's and emails to a few folks here. I'm also about to smoke my machine and enjoy some flavor now.

Glad you're finding some free time to smoke,  it must have been HELL out there.

Enjoy your 3Kings buddy,  hopefully more than I do 

And get some rest

I work about a mile from Naji's and have known him for years.  I bought my first hookah from Sami his wife.(that's probably who answered the phone.)
They are also one of the largest authentic pita bakeries in the US. I like to go by early in the morning and buy them while they're still warm.

teufelhund, that's the reason I PM'd you. I was going to ask if you knew them. But after I spoke with Sami, I knew they were good. Next time you see them, tell them I said "Hi." They'll know me as Randall in Louisiana, the one obsessed with NAkhla jars.
Mathazer, No problem for me. I'm quite far from New Orleans and as a civilian have no business there. I have just been puting in mega time getting flight crews ready for the missions and fixing whatever they bring back all f^ckered up. But thanks for the thoughts anyway.
Be good all, and I may review that Fakfahina fruity stuff later now. We'll see. Oh, who knows about routers and routing? The wood power tool type. PM me please.
