Rompin Donkey Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I had been interested in getting a hookah for a couple of years (being a briar pipe smoker) and about a month ago I bought a cheap "beginners" kit from the hookah shop.co.uk. I also ordered from Shishapipe.co.uk a selection a shisha :-250gms AF Strawberry250gms Af Double Apple250gms Al Waha MintTwo boxes of Mira coalsA selection of Soex.The "beginners" kit arrived and I immediately fell in love with Hookah smoking. The pipe is about 20 or so inches tall. I continue with my briars and good flake tobacco - but a hookah is a great way to spend a coupe of hours!I liked it so much that within a week I had ordered a Mya pipe - well when that arrived, if I wasn't totally hooked before, I was then. The pipe is a beauty. I use my small pipe basically as a "desktop" pipe, and it smokes fine. I tend to get the Mya out to smoke with my fiancee (who loves the double apple, but then she is a licorice and aniseed adict - Licorice Allsorts being her favourite confection.)Of the Shisha tried so far..... the four samples that came with the "beginner kit" - they were thrown away - they were awful. God knows what they were.....The AF Strawberry & Double Apple are great. The Al Waha mint - well it's ok, good, but not great.I have tried Nakhla Cherry, that is good (I found a shop local to me that sells it). Also the Soex orange, I must admit, that although not tobacco - I like it.My next move I suppose will be to try out natural coal (the Turkish shop near to me sells it) I believe that this will be a step in the right direction.Well that is my story so far - and really I would like to thank the members of this forum - I learned a great deal from reading here.Happy Smoking Guys / GalsAlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
