Saudi One Holed Unglazed Bowls And Fresh Nakhla

[mgsolimano]

I looking for a place to get the big Saudi bowls with the one hole in the middle and they splay out almost flat and you pack the tobacco around it. I'd be willing to purchase multiple with more orders promised on the way. Can anyone help me get these?

Also, Does anyone know where to get the big buckets of Nakhla? One of my friends came back from Saudi Arabia with one; 5 or 10 pounds I think. Not only was it a good price, but it was incredibly fresh, only packaged a couple months ago, where are all the stuff I can find around here is 6-12 months old. If it wasn't for the fact the the shipping was like 150 bucks I'd get it from over there, but thats outrageous.

I've tried looking everywhere, so now I'm casting my quest to cyberspace in hopes that someone can help me

5 to 10 pounds!? That's a lot a shisha!

I know you can get 1 kilo cans of nahkla from hookah-shisha.com. Thats the biggest I've seen.

[inino]

are you talking about tembek style bowls that are flat on top? if you are then you dont use nahkla for them.

You can also get 1 kilo tins from Hookah-company. This may only be for Double Apple but I'm sure it carries it over into other flavors.

The price is about 24 bucks and you'd need about 3-4 of those for 5-10 pounds, if your friend found this much Nakhla in one container...I am very envious and curious. I'd just want to see that tub/bucket.

I've never heard them called that, but maybe. do you know where to get them?

buy a phunnel

buy a phunnel

/sigh

Anyhow, your best bet is to find a contact in egypt/saudi arabia where nakhla is much cheaper. I've never seen a container larger than 1kg for sale, but over there it might well be available.

As for the bowl... good luck, you might want to try ebay, but I doubt your luck there too, and you'd overpay. That style of smoking isn't big in America, so you're best checking elsewhere sad to say.

ya i looked all over the web for one those bowls and couldnt find one. and anyone that has them would probably not sell them (like me lol). if you keep checking up on ebay you may get lucky like akammenzid said.

Actually Phunnels with Mods are great for smoking Desi Murli and I have smoked some Tombac effectively out of them (yet it had to be cut into pieces).

Nakhla is best with Standard Egyptian bowls though. Nothing better.

Those one hole Saudi bowls.. I have seen them on Hookahcompany.

...Yet i dunno how many holes they have. They used to have some that were pretty shallow and had this design on the edge of the bowl.

I know what your talking about, i promise.

Here's a little thing I found on another site. It's pretty informative about traditional moassel.

Thanks Hippo, I just sent them an email to see if they'd mail to the US, although it says they don't. Is there anyone in England who reads this who would be willing to potentially purchase them for me and mail them?

i know i've seen thoat style of head before at some arabic groceries (with minor athstetic modifications). if you're willing i'd go ahead an purchase you what you wanted and mail them up to you...

edit: they also have 1 kilo cans of double apple, cherry, banana, and cherry, maybe a few others....melons? i'm not sure, i can go check though... Edited December 16, 2008 by antouwan

As for the nakhla, you will not be able to find fresh tobacco in the States. As we get the butt end of the Km stock, we also get the old Nakhla; if it does come to the states new, it sits on the shelf for ages and goes bad. This is why buying Nakhla only in the glass jars is completely necessary to a full nakhla experience.

i bought a 250g of nakhla mint recently and have to say, it was more moist than tangiers. (but most of the other not so popular flavors have dust all over the boxes hhahah)

haha dude seriously. There's this Lebanese restaraunt near my house kinda, and he was selling the last of his nakhla stash. The Cardamom had a spiderweb with an egg sac in the inside corner. Grossest thing I have ever seen. No one buys nakhla except the selct few...

Why not go to the "horse's mouth"?
They show all their world wide suppliers.
