mushrat Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 The first in a line a questions: At a cafe, would you pay $6 for Nakhla, $8 for AF or AA, and $10 for starbuzz? Which 1 flavour of each would you be most likely to smoke at a cafe? I only want ONE flavour for each brand please. The reason is I want to know what you consider not only the top flavour but the one you'd be willing to smoke while out eating or drinking. Thanks to anyone who answers.

Joseph Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Well, I would have to smoke double apple nakhla, becuase I love anise and I hear nakhlas is the strongest. I would probably go for double apple or lemmon or orange for the others, but I have never had those brands before so its hard to say. I would rather smoke two bowls of nakhla for $12 than one of starbuzz for $10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 10$ for a bowl of starbuzz? Yes, I would definitely pay that. I'm already paying upwards of $12-$15 for a bowl of god knows what at other hookah bars, so I would gladly hand over that 10 spot. Flavors? Melon for all three.

HookahCaterpillar Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Yes i would pay that, it sounds like a reasonable price. Nakhla I would smoke Sweet Melon. Al Amir I would smoke rasberry. Starbuzz I would smoke Strawberry Kiwi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 AA strawberryStarbuzz vanillanever went to a hookah bar, but it seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Very reasonable prices indeed. AA: White Grape (my absolute grape flavor) Fahker: Grape Nakhla: Choco-mint Starbuzz: No idea. I've only tried the watermelon that you sent me, which was indeed tasty, but I don't want to say watermelon without trying any of the other flavors... Damn, I'm guessing you are considering opening up a lounge of your own? Hit me up on AIM sometime and tell me what you're up to I know I've been a stranger around here lately. Mainly due to finals and such, but now I'm done with my junior year. I'm doing a lot of summer school, but I'll still have quite a bit of free time, so you guys should be seeing me around here more again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Cool, thanks for the input folks... Please keep them coming. I've been real busy with work lately, that time of year, and I've benn rather out of it heal;th wise for a little while now..so I've been kinda absent as well...will be back in force again soon....

hothead2 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm going to have to say no, because I am a cheap bastard. Even though I have already done so, twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'd say:$5 for Naklha, $7 for AF, $10 for Starbuzz would be fair. I personally hate Nakhla and would spring for the AF 99% of the time.As for flavors: KISS. Simple, common flavors: apples, melons, etc...maybe a tad bit exotic when you start talking about Starbuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinshisha4life Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 At the hookah bar near my gf's college they charge 10.00 for a hookah with nahklah, so yea id definetly pay that for better shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve07 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Strawberry or melon. But I think starbuzz is over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Web: one local place here has Nakhla for $6. The other does AF for $8-10 i believe depending on the flavour. Have yet to visit it.....may this week. Steve:Starbuzz may be over priced to buy a box, but would you and and a friend or 2 friends split a head for $10 as an occasional thing?

I live 30 min west of NYC when I'm not in school, I wanna go visit a hookah bar if I have a chance.Is there a max on how many people can share a pipe at the average place? I think 4-5 would be a fair number...unless there were multihoses, but I find those dont work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well, the Cafe here says 2 per hookah, but I've seen them do 3. 4 or 5 would be a bit much for one hookah in a business setting. The bowl would last like 20 minutes and I'll bet you'd end up getting another one anyway, so for that many people I'd say get 2 hookahs already...thats still only 2-3 bucks a person...

smokinshisha4life Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 i guess it also depends on how often you and the people u are going with smoke shisha. One time 3-4 girls came into a lounge after us and got 1 hookah, they asked us what flavor we had, and ordered the same thing. They smoked it for like 20 mins and told us they were leaving and if we wanted to have the rest of theres, so some people may only want it for a very short time.

Donkeema Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 A.F for $10 is around £5.50 so yeah thats a great price, thats the standard price we pay here in london. some shops are slightly more expensive at £7 ($15) + you have to buy a drink! which is crazy. but thats the goin rate.nakhlas pretty much extinct in all shisha shops in london now so i wouldnt really know about that, but theres one shop that still uses it, they also charge $10 for it.starbuzz...yet to buy, yet to bring in the hookah lounges, yet to smoke!but yeah, decent prices mush.
