bubbascigars Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I am quitting selling hookahs way too much headaches and the customers are a pain half the time. I will still smoke hookahs every now and then but no more hookahs to sell I have no idea how mush can keep the young clients in line they get rude and very demanding and cheap. I will stay with my high end cigar clients they are a pian enough but they spend $100 plus per visit. I will still come to this forum on occasions to visit. and Snoopy is still my hookah smoking homie !!!later Bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Bubba, man I hear ya. Every time I go to the hookah bar or anywhere that sells em, you end up running into punks who start to push buttons. Maturity goes a long way in this world and a lot of people need to start practicing some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will still have hookah party with friends and good clients. a couple of students from the local college are the ones that ruined the hookah lounge for the locals. Then the idiots at the local college wonder WHY DOESN"T PEORIA HAVE A HOOKAH LOUNGE?? Well let's see every lounge that opened closed for the same reason rude ass cheap foul mouthed punks.

But like I said I still hit my hookah every chance I have to sit down and smoke and I do have hookah smoking friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 As a college student I can say that there are a lot of assholes that like hookah.

bjelder Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Sorry to hear man. Unfortunately thats just how it is with kids and hookah. Every time I go to the hookah bar or shops there are always kids asking dumbass questions and pestering the owners. Stick to your high end clientele, they'll be a lot more loyal than hookah kids.

Lysolz Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I often wonder why people can't just live and let live - it's really a basic concept. Enjoy life, and let others enjoy theirs. I'm a naive hippie guy though, so I guess I wouldn't know.That grinds my gears, though. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) i'm sorry to hear that, man. i know you have probably been told this before and i know that you probably don't want to hear this, but i used to get headaches and i still do even when using the best coals if i smoke for too long. but i used natural wood coals for a while and even when i tried to smoke and smoke for hours on end to try to see if i could cause a headache, i got none. i'd smoke constantly all day and not even a hint of a headache. canary goldens are what i use now and no headaches either so far. maybe just something to keep in mind.i'm just glad that you are not abandoning the hookah altogether. it's good that you've put your foot down about those punks, man. nice. good luck with the cigars, and thanks for staying with us on the forum. edit: i re-read the thread and realized that maybe you don't mean literal headaches. sorry. lol. i hope you excuse me. i've been drinking ale. lol. sorry.

ajkool2000 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 ahhh i'm glad you're still selling the pb&j because I just ordered some...can't wait to try it out!! as for not being able to keep the hookah side of your business, i say when it's causing you more headache than happiness, it's a good choice to drop it. better to enjoy it with a few close friends than rude people.=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidglass Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey bubba I don't know you that well, but I've heard awesome things about your PB&J shisha, I'll def get around to ordering some sometime. Sucks about your business but there are plenty of dumb asses out there unfortunately, as long as they didn't ruin your only source of income then I'm glad you can drop it without hurting financially.

jezter6 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Bubba,Due to recent events here on the forum, I hope you can see that it's not just you. I think everyone's dealing with some sort of fallout of younger hookah smokers.It would be great if everyone here were civil and upstanding, but it's just a sad fact of life that many of these sorts of evening entertainment activities usually revolve around drinking, causing even more trouble. It's a strange world that we live in - as government and hollywood try to make us more and more PC by the day (save the whales, be nice to each other, no animal testing) - the people are becoming less and less tolerant of each other and MORE prone to general outbursts and behavior the exact opposite of what we're getting from mainstream media.Good luck in all you're doing otherwise! Tis better to ENJOY hookah and not sell it - to sell hookah and hate it and not smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 im gonna miss you in chat bubba lolaround where i live if i go to a hookah bar (which is very rarely) i have my gun and badge visible and my vest on to avoid trouble because alot of the street gangsters will go and light up NHT and try and start shit when the owner or myself tell them to leave, then we get the drunk loud mouth college kids here you just want knock out and the underage kids trying to get in also causing problems so i can definetly see where you are coming from bubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
