bellydancerakn Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So my sistah-from-another-mistah, is in the army and currently based in Mannheim. Now, from reading posts I know it's hard to get tobacco shisha in Germany, but easier to get herbal. Is this right? She doesn't smoke hookah, but she knows I do, and recently offered to see if she could get me some shisha real cheap over there. Esspecially since Mannheim has a large turkish population (even though they aren't too fond of americans apparently). So where are some good hookah bars, for her? And also, where are some good and cheap places to get shisha? Either herbal or tobacco, I'm intrested in trying both. Danke Schon!! Ja, Ich spreche ein bitchen Deutsch, aber Ich bin nicht tsu gutt. I'm a few years out of practise lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookah-burgar Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 [quote name='fineout' date='07 April 2010 - 06:28 AM' timestamp='1270618138' post='462330'] you speak a bitchen german?sick! (you were looking for Bisschen) but yea i have never even seen herbal shisha here and german shisha is both expensive and poor quality compared to american shisha [/quote] Well, I write from Spain, not Germany, but I have been buying through German websistes. I agree with the fact that molasses might be more expensive in Germany (much more than in Spain where we find mostly Nakhla, Cleopatra and Al Sultan brands, that is rather few brands), and I take into account that in Germany, by Law, the content of Glycerine is limited to 5%, it meaning that producers willing to sell in Germany, produce molasses with lower ammount of glycerine, for that market. Some smokers will choose to add glycerine themselves. Nevertheless, if you watch videos of german reviews on Youtube, you'll see that these tobaccos are ok, and some of them produce huge clouds of smoke. But, the interesting fact is that, with millions of Turks living in Germany, You can find some Turkish brands of Molasses there. And brands such as SERBETLI, ROSANNA, SIMI SULTAN or ELMAS seem to be very interesting, much better than average molasses. (I never refer to molasses wqith the word "shisha" which means bottle, hence waterpipe, in Egypt and Tunisia). Viel Glück mein Freund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
