mushrat Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 As many of you know, I was among 3 people invited by the owners of Social Smoke to check out their production facility for their new Social Smoke Tobacco. As they stated, the tobacco is Virginian, though it is imported. As for the rest, I was in the production area and I can personally say they go from leaf to can all right there.I even got to discuss music with the fine folks responsible for seeing to the filling of the cans. As far as I am concerned, this is about as American Made as it gets. This is my PERSONAL opinion based on what I saw with my own eyes. As for the quality of the smoke. We sat down and smoked about half their catalog of flavours after dinner and just like any shisha, there were flavours I liked and some I didn't, but the quality of the tobacco and the flavours was top notch. I will NOT be reviewing specific flavours but I WILL be ordering some for my lounge, take that as you will. Mushrat (pics to follow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih303 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 That's enough for me. Now if SS will ever get back in touch with me... Thanks, Mush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) definitely going to try some myself...... Edited March 1, 2010 by mushrat FOCUS! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstar Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks for the vote of confidence in them. I am interested to try this because I smoke virginian blends in my regular pipe, so this is exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delSol_si Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 well, thats reassuring to hear, but i still can't justify the price tag...hopefully once they get rid of those silly tins the price will come down a bit, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Wish I could have made it! But I understand the price thing, I think it's a bit high also, but I think Starbuzz is too, but I do pick it up now and then. I can't remember if there is a discount code for Social Smoke, but now that they have resurfaced maybe they will give us one, which will help offset the price issue.

[/quote] i asked them about this, not about a discount code, but about their planned activity level (hoping to maybe get their vendor thread opened), but was told they do not plan on staying active on the forum, unfortunately. from what he told me, he just came in to clear the water and let us know of the new product.

T355 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I got a email from them about 2 weeks ago or so that had the coupon code ''sstobacco'' which will get you 25% off the new ss tobacco. I tried it yesterday and it worked only on SS tobacco not any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A13lackFish Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks alot for the reviews on them, just confirms my ever desiring need to purchase their Blush flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngraz617 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 SStobacco is working for 25% off but I didn't finish checking out because they were charging tax which I never paid to a vendor and figured I would straighten it out tomorrow and I'm not in Texas but NY. If they charge the tax it's like putting almost 10% back on so I'm getting still 15% off but tax didn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Sounds good Mush. I guess the SS will now be added to my list to try sometime in the near future. Until then I'll be checking out the reviews and decide from there on what flavor(s) to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
