Zinite Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I can't see how it could be done better than Tang, with the exception of different/better flavors (there is always room for improvement in that department)Edit: <3 NOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I didn't know John was seriously considering making a tobacco line,I just thought NOB was being hopeful and stalkerish. If he does, I'm sure it'll improve greatly, especially with this forum's support. I'm open to try it. After all, he made some great coals and he's a good businessman. I bet it'll turn out great.

Jacob Shock Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) a tobacco line would be very hard to make. john seems to be a perfectionist so i would expect it to be judged on a flavor by flavor basis much like tang.but i would love to see a great washed tobacco that was more traditional at a great price. something like al fahker used to be. a product like that would really get my dollar.and sorry for picking on you NOB. its nice to know your not an asshole, so we shouldnt be one towords you.

no longer welcome Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 ok, alot of this is funny, but the truth is i have been thinking about this seriously for sometime. in fact me and some folks close to me discussed this for an hour today. Mush is right that for a certain amount of cash I can have it made, I think it's more than that too, a lot more. basically i can call the same folks that many of the other brands use to make their shisha, and just add hj packaging. i'm not interested in that for several reasons, 1 is i don't want to invest $100k, and the 2nd is I don't want to rehash the same junk that is out there, which is almost everything other than nak, af, tang and sb. i would like to be of similar standards as tang but then again i don't want to copy tang. i really would have to take a lot of time and invest in some licensing.i've thought of the easy route, meaning, herbal, but, i cringe at herbal. there's lots to be done and also with new legislation on the horizon this may only be a dream.i've discussed it a bit with tang/eric and asked him if he would do it for me. he was open to discussing it however, the terms may not be what i want (not considering $$$) but then I thought, even though eric is an honorable person, that he would be making a competing product and why would he make mine as good as his?this is a to be continued type of thing. thanks for the discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
