Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) So as mentioned in my previous thread there was a Detroit middle eastern grocery that had 1 Mya QT they were willing to sell me for 30 bucks.I just got it like 30 minutes ago! And the dude only charged 25! No tax!I'm sooo happy right now I could pee. BTW wholesale on a QT is 22, so dude only made a 3 dollar profit but was just that badass. Thank you Adam at Spicy's in Detroit!So the guy also had a nice tobacco selection: AF, Nakhla, Skyzzz, Arabica, some brands I didn't stop to really take in, and the coolest imo was the directly imported AF. It had the different more traditional looking packaginf, same spelling so I'm pretty sure it was the import, not a knockoff.Best part? 5 dollar Nakhla 250s!!!!!! I in my excitement and haste picked up some DA, but really wanna go back sometime to grab some orange, mint, and a few other flavors.I was afraid for a sec because he didnt have the downstem to it but he found it after 3 tries with different stems. The bowl isn't Mya but it is green so it matches the vase (light green), and the hose isn't Mya either but that's green too so it all matches. And btw the nickel plated brass stem is pretty sweet. It's the convex ribbed eggy one which is what I was hoping for too. I don't know if the tray is authentic because it is really light and has more of a brushed look than the stem, but it fits just fine. It also came with a black base protector which I don't think they typically come with.I'm pretty damn excited sine I think I got a really nice deal. Thanks again Brandon for the wonderful gift. I'll be passin on the random act of kindness soon So one of you guys/gals might be recieving something in the mail you weren'y expecting lol.PICS ASAP BUT ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NO DIGITAL CAM!!!!!

AKammenzind Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Sounds like you might develop the same love of Nakhla as I have... having a local source for $5 makes Nakhla what I smoke more than anything, and I've developed quite a taste for it! Cheap goodies... beautiful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pick up a 50g of normal AF mango though. 2 bucks, not a bad price.QUOTE (AKammenzind @ Nov 23 2008, 10:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Sounds like you might develop the same love of Nakhla as I have... having a local source for $5 makes Nakhla what I smoke more than anything, and I've developed quite a taste for it! Cheap goodies... beautiful thing yeah no kidding. If I have good sessions with it I'm definately going to grab a bunch more when I can or at least when I run a little lower on AF. I saw the orange and really was hoping it was mandarin orange but it wasn't so I went with the DA instead since I vaguely remember reading good reviews of it I think and I actually like the DA taste.QUOTE (Terrible @ Nov 24 2008, 12:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>hey man wheres this shop in detroit? I live very close to Detroit.I'll have to ask my buddy again to get the street names but it is near the Hamtramk/Detroit border. Where in the metro area are you?And really as soon as I can I'll post up pics. Gonna smoke the sucker with the nakhla tonight. Then fall into a deeep deeep sleep and hopefully not wake up till Turkey day - just got finished painting for 4 hrs pro bono for a friend.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Well I'm currently smoking this lil beast and damn! oh and really glad i picked up the Nakhla DA it's great! just the right ammount of anise to it, not overpowering. It's more like green apples with a slight anise taste to it.Nice clouds but this hose is a really narrow guage so a homemade should do the trick.Damn I'm really happy about this buy!Fan of the QT!Theres alot to be said for a pipe that can easily fit atop a desk or table too. I can see myself smoking this lil thing while on the forum time and time again.A+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
