AzZ Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 QUOTE (Sonthert @ Mar 9 2009, 07:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>to get the smoking ban/excessive taxation on Hookah tobacco lifted in Great Britain and get Tangiers imported to Great Britain. They also have a novel heating device for replacing charcoal. Quite interesting.This! If that follows through nicely I'd be content. Not many brands to choose from here unfortunately and no one i've spoken too knows anything about Tangiers. Me and friend ordered 1kg of OG Tangiers so will be trying it for the first time- should be good. Good update man, always nice to know whats going on behind the scences. That new tobacco tax is a load though....pfff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Guys you have to try White Grape.... It makes me happy!Gotta update the Wiki for Tropical Punch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Woo! Nice update, Sonthert! Looking forward to the new shipment on the 13th of March but I'm looking forward to the possibility of nice new syrians after that. Tangiers Hookah...*Feints* The new flavors look really nice and I have just started breaking my bad-luck streak with Tangiers so I can start buying and enjoying this stuff again. Green tea with Honey sounds good. I have one of those Snake Charmer hoses, I was expecting better quality based on the price but it's beautiful and for that reason, alone, I'm happy. haha I might need to look into those new AF hookahs, some of them are really nice looking and it will be great to see real high quality pipes to look at. Good update. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsytheowl Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I would be more excited about the new flavors if they were included on the lucid line.Thanks for the heads up on HC though, i've been watching their hose section for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyj316 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Lots of good info Eric! Thanks for the update!Also, its good to hear that the super chiefs might be making a comeback, as mine broke about 4 months ago and I haven't been able to find them at a decent price. I'm going to have to make a pilgrimage to San Diego from the central Oregon coast.I'm excited for some of the flavors that are still in "beta". Keep up the good work, and if you need anyone to help test anything, I'm willing to make the sacrifice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Glad I stockpiled..REALLY glad I don't do the RYO thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The tobacco increase is happening as we speak. For shisha it is probably just the tax, but for cigarettes and such philip morris, RJ reynolds, newport, and all other big names are raising prices to "share" the burden of the tax increase. Go to sams club and look at the tobacco department, or whats left of it at least. ( price increase possibly only affecting cali smokers, but not sure). As for me im stockpiling this week on tobacco. anybody know if shisha flavor will last if i get a years worth?oh and thanks for all the updates!

newjacksm Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Eric whats your take on MZ's I am thinking about picking one up. I have an older KM that I picked up last summer.. I want a cheap priced hookah that still smokes really well. Syrian is sorta out of the price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrian is sorta out of the price range.What i have found is that MZ's are no different than Generic Egyptian Hookahs. Smaller gauge, same metal construction, but you can get an Egyptian of equal build for 20 bucks cheaper than you pay for an MZ, of course not including Hookah-Shisha Central rigs (yuck).The best thing you can do now, in regards to purchasing a new rig, is go for the AF Syrians. There is not a better SYrian on the US market available to consumers at this point in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilded777 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Wow, thanks for the info. Have to admit that I am a Tangiers noob, just had my first bowl this weekend (Necatrine)... but I am also the proud owner of an official Tangiers Phunnel (ok, and a cheaper Chinese knock-off, that is still pretty good.. but I would never have bought it at all, if I had figured out I could underpack it and still have it work like a charm!).

Everything else has a better counterpart overseas (cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco, shisha...)That's what I'm getting at. I'm interested in organizing Tangiers export into Russia. The tobacco tax is extremely low here. For example, you can buy a pack of Dunhill cigs for $2. 50g AF - $2-3. 50gp Nakhla - $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joytron Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) very interesting updates...are there any additional Tangiers Lucid Flavors for the near future. (i would highly support any movement in that field) Can you pick them up in SD? im only an hour and a half away and its sounding more and more tempting.edit: almost forgot did someone mention mango green tea.
