coplinb Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Of Happiness! So here's the back story- There are two places in my town that sell shisha, a head shop that sells hookah hookah and a cigar shop that has a better selection, Fantasia, Pharaohs, Romman, HookahHookah, but the prices are atrocious and the owner is rude as hell so I only go there when I HAVE to. I got a free Jewel sample in the mail the other day(gross), with it came a detailed state by state list of all the retail shops that sell it. Listed on it was a Cigar shop about 30 miles from me. So this morning after some running around I figured why not try and find this place on the list, Ive always wanted to check out the cigars anyway. I finally find the place and go in. Much to my surprise the guy had quite a nice collection of hookahs, bowls, and shisha. They had Havana 50gr boxes for 2.50. Never had it so I said what they hell, give me one of each, which was five flavors. Next was NAKHLA 50gr boxes for, drum roll please, 1.50! Holy shit, give me one of each, five more. Then Nakhla 250 boxes for 6.50! Damn, Ill take 2! So if your keeping count, that would be 1 kilo of shisha for 35 fucking dollars. I couldn't say no to that locally. I would have paid almost double that to get that shipped online. The owner was real cool too. He said that every other Friday he comes and sells cigars at a bar in my town and all I have to do is email him what I want from him and he will bring it with him to the bar so I don't have to make the drive. I think I'm in love. I had to share this with everyone because I peed my pants a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Damn are you lucky. The only place even close to me i can go buy tobacco for even a reasonable price is Jasmines out in Dallas. Ever cigar, tobacco, and other shop i have found it in around here sells Hookah Hookah or Pharaohs for a damn arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go to Jasmines and get 250g tin for if i remember right $21 or something. How can you live that close and not been to Jasmines though, thats where i started smoking hookah. Which reminds me, i really need to hit that place up again soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coplinb Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yeah I was pretty happy at finding this place. He also had Starbuzz but it was still 18 bucks so i dont think ill be picking any of that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shit would be hilarious! But yeah I guess the guy does that for his regular cigar buyers, so he said hed throw some shisha in the trunk too.

srawas89 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Glad to here you received such good service...I think I might hit up my local hookah bar for tobacco if I need it since I know the owner pretty well. Anyway there is a shop locally where the prices arent too bad on AF and there is Nakhla but there needs to be a better selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namenone Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Stories like this actually make me jealous.In London, i have to walk down the road to some overpriced guy who sells 250g AF for about $25 and 250 Nak for around $16. He sells all unbranded hookahs, and the smallest ones similar in size to the bambino start at around $55. But these stories do make me happy as not everyone is getting ripped off!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 LUCKY!!!!!!!!!! I'm 120 miles from the nearest hookah lounge. I've only been to one of them and that place certainly doesn't sell shisha or supplies. I haven't gone to the other two to see what they might have.I have to buy everything online. It sucks.

combs08 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Man, that's awesome! I'm going to check out the local shops areound here soon. Hopefully they have some good stuff for pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvtaco17 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's good stuff! I know Ive been spoiled because of my relationship with John at Guess hookah in Chicago (He only sells stuff he smokes plus what people ask for)... he sells AF/Nak/Fantasia/Sinbad/Havanna/Hookah Hookah/Layalina and a few other shisha's as well as coco's, CH, 3K's for charcoal at pretty much the same if not lower prices then online... So I know your joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Congrats, nice find, does this guy carry the Mizo line of Nakhla? How does one get a free sample of jewel? I don't want the sample as I don't like jewel, but it would be nice to have that list of local places that you talk about. When I am in college, the only baccy I have found is 50g Soex for $5, 50g Laylina for $3.50, 50g Nakhla for $3.50, 50g Jewel for $2.50, and 250g Nakhla(no mizo) for $9. And flavors are very limited.

I am guessing every single one is at least an hour drive for me. Would you mind sending me a list of the IL and MO ones? I'm in IL now, but will be moving back to MO for college in August. I do 99% of my smoking in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
