filmigeek Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 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 CardamomAl Fakher GrenadineAl Fakher OrangeWhat about you - what did you just buy? Shisha, equipment, anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srawas89 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmigeek Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) 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 ...

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. HSC. 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 0.15They're a great business selection-wise...but dealing with them in Austin while living literally 9 minutes away is incredibly frustrating.

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.
