I Just Bought ...


Recommended Posts

There may already be a thread like this but my quick scan didn't spot it.

I'm psyched about my most recent order - but instead of starting a thread just about that I thought I'd start a general thread where everyone can just come in and tell the world what you just picked up.

Last weekend I visited my local Armenian grocery and picked up a box of Nakhla cherry and a box of Nakhla margarita. The latter was an accident - I thought I had cardamom in my hand. I don't really like the margarita, and it was bugging me that I still didn't have a cardamom shisha, and I was still feeling a bit bored with the flavors I did have, so I caved and placed an order today for:

Al Fakher Cardamom
Al Fakher Grenadine
Al Fakher Orange

What about you - what did you just buy? Shisha, equipment, anything.

Just got from Hookah Company

1 small phunnel black/green/blue i love it

1kilo of their coconut coals

50g of Nakhla Double Apple and Orange

50g Layalina Chocolate Mint and Raspberry

Their packaging is great and I think the box would have been able to get run over and the phunnel wouldn't have broke!

sitting in HS warehouse(s) (since they are moving them) is
-2 hose rotator lunar hookah red
-2 black namors
-apple,coconut,watermelon AF 250s
-2 boxes of exotics
-1 box of coconauras
-lime and schnozzberry tangiers clearance (leaky) 250s
-mod bowl
-tea cup bowl
-small punnel
-little accessories

ordered on sat night and still not shipped (kinda pissed), so if it doesnt ship by middle of the day tomorrow i think i might talk to them and really complain and at least try to get them to add the free hookah thing they have for if you order over 200 bucks worth and put in a code (that i forgot to put in).

either way i better get it before friday next week or else there will be issues since i move in a week from monday to an apartment one hour away and do not want to have to drive a freaking hour to get my package

35" Bahiya Khalil Mamoon Hookah
mouth tip keychain (for the hell of it!)
250 Al Waha After Nine
50g Fusion Pear (freebee)

all from Hookah Company (supposed to be here Friday! I can't wait to try out the KM!)

And from Hookah-Shisha I ordered:

a Nammor hose (pink to match the hookah... so I like pink..)
another Phunnel bowl (all red)
Heba diffuser (for my Myas, thought I'd try it)
Fantasia 50g Flavor #1: strawberry/banana split
#2: caramel frappuccino
#3: triple apple
84 piece box of Coco Nara coals to try out
100g of Fumari tropical punch
Potion 100g Flavor #1: blackberry
Potion 100g Flavor #2: very cherry

I have not placed an order but in about a week and a half I might be ordering MASS shisha I am talking about at least 3 kg. Reason is I want about 1 kg for myself and me my middle Eastern club are hosting a Smoke Out at Xavier University since we just got them to lift the hookah ban they had placed since they considered it Drug paraphernalia, O did we rip them a new one haha. So yea MASS shisha for me and A LOT of coals. That and I am hoping on buying a new hookah when I am up in Detroit while I buy my shisha in bulk

keep em coming, folks - it's cool to see what everyone's buying.

As an aside - my husband has been away for two weeks and he's coming back tonight. Last night when I told him about all the new shisha I picked up he said "it will be fun to sit down this weekend and smoke some of that."

I have won him over ... Hookah.gif Edited by filmigeek

I'll take this opportunity to tell a little story. Last week I ordered a small sampler order of Fantastia - Pumpkin Spice, Gingerbread, & Strawberry Banana Split. Shipping was ~$6.00... which sucks, but I didn't really want to place a huge order. Hookah Shisha is actually (according to google maps), 9 minutes driving distance away from my apartment. So it would make sense that if I ordered shisha at say, 11am Thursday morning, I would have it by friday evening. I explicitly called them and asked them to ship THAT DAY and they said, "yeah it will go out today." They shipped on Friday...

They don't let Austin residents (where they are based) do pick ups. What they've told me in the past is, "We aren't set up for order pick up"...so I assume they don't have doors or operate 200 feet underground. You would think that they would at least prioritize Austin shipments to compensate for this. Wrong. My package was delivered while I was at work on Monday at 2pm and sent to the UPS customer care center. By this point, I wanted to sample the Pumpkin Spice like a mofo and I wasn't about to wait another day for it. So we drive north to the UPS center. A 32 minute trip according to google maps. Left at 7:15pm...got back at 8:30pm due to traffic and the complete clusterf*ck that is UPS will-call.

At that point, I was ready to kick my own ass for caring enough to drive all the way up there. See the picture below.

A. The Delivery Address
B. HS
C. UPS

[attachment=1899:Ordealjpg1.JPG]

I really hope they have a pick-up option in the plans for the near future. As of right now there is no incentive to order from them versus similar vendors if the shipping times are the same.

It literally took 71 1/2 hours to get my shisha 3.2 miles. This is 0.045 mph.

The following land creatures could have beaten HS in delivering my package:

-Chicken/ mph9
-Spider (Tegenaria atrica)/mph 1.17
-Giant tortoise/mph 0.17
-Three-toed sloth/mph 0.15

They're a great business selection-wise...but dealing with them in Austin while living literally 9 minutes away is incredibly frustrating. Edited by Chiefin

from what i gathered their location where orders are taken and location where he ware house is, are in differant locations, not sure how far but ya.

local pick up should be a no brainer but for myself it doesnt matter for me (under stand your frustration though)

I wrote this in the wrong place--it's "filmgeek's post.sorry
I drink most often coffee with "hel" Arabic for Cardammon.With that, the Cardammon shisha from Nakhla taste of Hel overpowered me and I gave it away.In coffee its great!Same with their "Earl Grey". My favourite tea is Earl Grey. I'm going to send a pack to Her Majasty, but she would send agents to kill me In their shisha I found it appallingly bad. Of their exotic line we don't get much here, just the original Nakhla flavours which I love.Its sold everywhere cigarettes are sold. The cinnamon I thought was great! I got it as a sample and i know the exotic line of Nakhla get shipped to U.S.A. I forget, yeah "Chocomint" was so good. also un-available to Falakhin like me. And once I had Nakhla Pistaccio (Feestuk) 7 years back.I'd love to get my hands on some. It was honestly tasting like real feestukin. Edited by TizaNabi

i got a little jaded in the mint department, the first hookah i smoked was apple a mint but it was junky shisha in a junky hookah at a junky lounge so i havent really wanted to try any mint again but i guess i need to grab some and try it.

closest think i smoke now to mint is the SB social smoke but i find it to be a little heavy and dont want to smoke it for a really long time.
