steeeeeeve Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ok here i am asking for some advise, i find myself very low on cash but in pursuit of the perfect session i want to try tangiers.December 17th my birthday i will have some money and im going to order a flavor, its going to cost me 56 dollars shipping + 15ish dollars for the flavor so around 70 dollars so i can only really afford one even though its cheaper to order multiple at once. (im in the uk)the Question is: which flavor is worth 70 dollars to you if any?If you could only have ONE which would it be?Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 woah, how come the shipping is THAT expensive? where are you ordering from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Orange Soda for a blend of orange flavor, I've noticed three so far.Schnozzberry for its awesome, like a mixed berries with a floral accent.Horchata...Spanish tea turned shisha...Hazelnut, Cinnamon, and Vanilla I could taste in it.Kashmir Peach for its tasting like peach ring candies as well as the "knock you on your ass son" buzzgood luck, I'd say order two because of the butt-stickage on shipping, make it worth while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoKingSynergy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I would never in my life pay that much for shipping, even if it was the absolute best flavor ever made! $56, that's insane!

shisha fan Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 not one flavor from any brand is worth $70. but i`m sure you could get more tobacco shipped to the uk for that kind of money.hookah-shisha sells a tangiers 3 pack for $35, and the shipping costs are $30 for priority mail to the uk. so that is actually $5 less than you originally wanted to spend.

GreatPigHookah Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 That shipping charge seems high. I just checked the USPS website and according to it I could send a 1lb 8oz package Priority Mail International to the UK for $27, or a 2lb 8oz package for just over $30.

GreatPigHookah Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 As for flavors....I'm a big fan of Kashmir Peach, Kashmir Apple, Kashmir Cherry (notice a trend here?), Horchata, Static Starlight...damn...the list just keeps going. Marigold is one of my favorites too, but I'm big on the floral stuff that many don't seem to care so much for. The chocolate mint was great but I had to clean my hookah 3-4 times in a row after smoking it...it was increadably strong and hard to remove from the hookah.

steeeeeeve Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 im just going on my last shipping charge, if its cheaper now all the better it means ill spend the same amount but get more flavors as im planning on 70 dollarswhy am i willing to pay that much? its a one off because i really want to try different brands.thanks for the replies so far and shisha fan that is an amazing deal and looks like it saves me alot of money so really thank you for thati did my research but it was months and months ago seems a fair bit has changed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeeeeeve Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 edit: shipping from shops is different to private shipping a standard sized box is 50 dollars for example last i checked but it does seem as shisha fan pointed out there are now some vendors finding other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indian_villager Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dude what are you talking about? Shipping from the US to the uk for a 2lb box is about $27. thats like 3 flavors. Unless you are talking about customs fees? Talk to MNHookahs.com they help out in these international orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeeeeeve Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 i beleive last time i asked mn they quoted around 50 dollars for a standard sized box but that was around the time i was shopping for a QT so i could be confusing the shipping quotes up in my head its been a while:) i think i might have to reinvestigate MN helped me out a great deal when i bought my exotica from them ive nothing but praise for them, from the US to the uk and only a tiny hole in the hose and a dent in the ashtray thats pretty damn impressive considering the state of the box and the way the postal service treat parcels!

drabin Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thats nuts. I would never pay that much for shisha... Good luck dude hope you find a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The only thing I can think of that would bump up charges so much would be customs charges. But even then haven't people figured out ways around that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racemyghost Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 my 1 and only flavor from tangiers USED to be Static Starlight. It is now Blueberry. Ive smoked almost every brand blueberry and this is the best one. Ive also smoked almost all the tangiers flavors and blueberry and static starlight are the only 2 i like.

staygone Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Tangiers blueberry was the best before it got re-vamped. Now, nothing compares in overall awsomeness.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeeeeeve Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah packages labeled "gift" or "personal item" usually skip customs pretty fast but its not infallible and if it gets checked in customs im in for a hellova taxing i believe which is why i didnt order in tangiers when i ordered my exotica, the size of the package meant it had a good chance to be checked or at least i maybe stupidly assumed so and decided against having tobacco in it incase of taxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
