tjt486 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I just bought my own hookah from hookahhub.com last week after going to a hookah lounge with some friends - The Casbah Cafe. I got just a small cheap hookah to start out with, just so I would have one of my own. I also bought several flavors of shisha from them, hookah hookah brand. To say it was not as enjoyable as the flavor from Casbah would be an understatement. We had cherry and orange flavors there, in comparison the HH cherry tasted like cough syrup. The pina colada, and honey made me feel sick. The watermelon and strawberry are decent. Pinapple is pretty good. I had no idea at the time how many brands there are. I ordered some samples from shisha-hookah.com and in the meantime until they get here can I get some recomendations from others on at least where to start as far as finding what I might enjoy? On the way I have Nakhla cherry, bananna and melon, al waha honey and al amir strawberry. Also are there any sites that offer samples or variety packs from several brands to give an opportunity to see what I may prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 good sites are as follows. socialsmoke.com southsmoke.com hookah-shisha.com thehookah.com hookahhub.com My favorite tabacco is al fakher. Read my reviews and well as some of the others and you can get an idea of what they taste like. The link to my reviews is in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjt486 Posted September 12, 2005 Author Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thanks for that information, i revised my search for reviews here and wow, what a huge knowledge base I have just stumbled upon. Now im trying to figure out how Im ever going to even scratch the surface of all there is to try in the world of hookahs. Funny to think that just months ago I didnt even know such a thing existed. Is there typically a big difference in the buzz off of different brands? The stuff my friend bought from casbah really makes me feel mellow, and if i take a few hits of it in a row I cant even get out of my chair. This HH stuff has no effect like that.

cypress Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The buzz does differ between brands. Nakhla gives a good buzz. Fakher is a good fruity flavor. But also buzzes are felt differently amoung members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 what is this "buzz"? maybe i just have too many other buzzes to compare to anytype of hookah head that might occur. is it like a "smoke 2 camels in a row and listen to ur stomach do flips and break out in sweat and fall down" buzz...or what the "whoa, im sleepy" buzz? either way, i dont get it, i get relaxed, but buzzing, negative.

uselessdreamer1 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 i believe the relaxing feeling is a buzz to most people. Although i always get that. I get a massive buzz from nakhla, so it could be the brand. And the buzz i get is a smoked to camels in a row buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
