no longer welcome Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Sorry for the drama, but I was sirring up the remains of a jar of nak DA that I had in a tupperware as usual. I was stirring it as usual when I saw something that looked like the "wing" of a dragonfly and I was seriously thinking that it was just glossy shisha that tore differently and was about to put it in my bowl. Then I thought something's not right, it's not shisha, it was a piece of thin sharp glass! No I'm not going to blame anyone, Nakhla, my distributor, my vendor (if I had one) it just happened, no big deal but if I was stirring this batch with my hands I would have been pissed. The odd thing is I think I may have at least once in the last couple of weeks, stirred it with my hands. Maybe....someone placed it in my stash after it was opened, hmmmm. The odd thing is (and not to turn this into business) I have been getting a few complaints about the "jar" coming leaking or with a broken seal. The thing is I get them that way and they are coming straight from Egypt to a warehouse in LA to my car. I'm blaming Nakhla for that at the very least. Shit, my coals are ready, gtg!

I can just imagine him sneaking into the Nakhla factory in the dead of night, dressed in all black, and placing a single shard of glass into a batch of tobacco. He then seals it up, and places a 'Mail To: Hookah John" sticker on it, before he runs away cackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Nakhla in a box, plastic tub, and glass jar. So it's not such a far stretch to think that perhaps in the production process a jar shattered and they attempted to get all the glass pieces out. Thinking they had, they packaged it. If anyone has ever shattered anything glass there's always that one piece you don't see or that went further than you thought.Who knows they may have been playing baseball with some of the jars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 i've had at least one package of nakhla with little pieces of NOT tobacco in it. if i can remember it was cardboard maybe, or plastic? it was only once or twice and hasn't stopped me from purchasing it though...

fillup Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 not good. Glad I smoke tangiers!Although once I broke one of the pharaoh's plastic containers and the shards ended up in the shisha. Dident really want to end up with plastic pieces in my lungs so I had to throw it away.And btw, whats up with the mouth tips you can get? If you look inside them they have fiberglass all inside them. Ive never used them before but a friend of mine pointed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoapplesplease Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The el basha jars are plastic all others are glass...I'm guessing that the small peice of glass was in the bottom of the jar from the glass factory and then the nakhla workers missed it and put the plastic wraped tobacco on top of it...And then when you dumped it into the tupperwere container it went in with it....Just my guess...Hmmm This is very odd I've never found anything in any of my nakhla....
