I asked them about Nahkla they said it was too harsh... we would have to intro them to Tangiers and teach them how to smoke it properly... even talk them into stalking phunnels lol all in all a very stubborn shop... prolly as stubborn as trying to get ahzmi at Urban to smoke anything but nahkla and AF lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 A few months ago, I asked Nana's Gifts in N. Phx about carrying Tangiers and they said that they wanted to see the packaging change first. I chuckled and said it should be about the quality of the hookah tobacco, not the packaging!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'm a reasonable person so I can swallow my pissiness and go back to Cafe Istanbul in order to request they carry Tangiers (Lucid please!). So annual, if you need another body to go in and petition for them to get Tangiers, let me know and I could even meet up there and go in 10 minutes after you I'd take one for the team and go there...and behave by not touching any of the shisha! ....mutter mutter...

Annual, I'd come buy some smaller quantities of the Lucid line, if you were to pull the trigger and order a boatload of Tangiers...but you'd have to let me sample some! And handle it! And sniff it!

annual Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Haha of course. So Eric lets get this rolling. I'm ready when you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Go, talk to them. See what they say. I hate calling up a place and saying "There's an angry mob who want you to carry my tobacco." Ilike calling them and saying "So, I hear you're dealing with angry mobs..."They don't like the packaging? Whatever. It color coordinates with anything.

Maybe we should talk to someone other than the old guy who barely speaks English and doesn't allow anyone to have sniffing privileges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annual Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 They are highly opinonated and refuse to sell most shisha. Carry like 3 or 4 brands and are likely sticking to it. SB, AF, Dejavu and Layalina (not golden) oh and Havana which is crap.My plan was to stock it and sell it locally to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Deja Vu is not exactly an established brand. Tangiers is the oldest hookah tobacco manufacturer in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You'd have to have an Arizona Excise Tax License. The Feds like to throw around fancy legal phrases like "Felonious Trafficking". when you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Feds like to throw around fancy legal phrases like "Felonious Trafficking". when you don't.Annual, try calling the Ahwatukee Coughing Canary. The owner (Steve I think) owns both stores, Tempe and 'tukee, and he is the most chill and smart dude I've run into in any of the local stores.He can't stock Fantasia enough, and if you put it to him that way then he'd be apt to listen to reason about Tangiers. All they carry there is Fantasia, a little bit of (new company) Deja Vu, Tonic (which he's always out of), and lAstly some nasty-ass shit in clear containers with white lids. That shit doesn't move off the shelves AT ALL. So there's a bit of insight into his stock, and yeah he sells NHT stuff but his shisha is low and he says most of it gets to end up in the Tempe shop...I think this man would be approachable, he is an english-speaking native so it may be easier to communicate, and he doesn't strike me as a man with a big ego that wouldn't be interested in a new brand, esp one proven as Tangiers. You might, however, have to educate him on the site and show the guy how many people love Tangiers and are in his neighborhood.I have sales experience, selling college newspaper ads, so I kinda scope people out about shit like this. And if you want I'd be glad to talk to the dude myself or pitch in as an interested customer. He recognizes me.
