Shisha Management

[gambit13]

Heyah everybody, this is my first post. In my search to buy my first hookah, I found this site and it has been extremely helpful. I finally decided to get a Mya QT E-class in sky blue and it should be coming in on Monday. I had a question about "shisha management" that maybe you guys can help answer. How much shisha is in your rotation at one time? Should you buy enough for one month or maybe two, as to minimize shipping costs while making sure you don't lose freshness? How much weight is this about and at what cost usually? I plan on smoking about a bowl per day. I plan on placing an order at socialsmoke.com soon. I was thinking about:
AF Grapes 250 gram, Nakhla Double Apple 250 gram, and Layalina 5-pack with esk. apple, peach, pear, pineapple, and cherry (50 gram each).
Let me know what ya'll think. Looking forward to learning much more.

well shisha keeps for like 2 years+ so you can pretty much have as much as you want. youll want a couple flavors so at least 750g i would say. of course i have a couple kilos around most of the time. i usually work my way through shisha fairly slowly since i smoke lots of flavors. buy multiple packs at the same time to save on shipping costs.basically buy what you want. you can get buy with as little or as much as you want really.

i dont keep alot on hand but its not because it will go bad, its because i am a poor college student.

I've usually got somewhere around 1 kilo, in 6 or 7 different flavors.. I only smoke 3 or 4 times a week, and I've never had any get too old on me..

I have about 2 1/4 kilos right now, with another 3/4 kilo on the way. Granted, some of what I have are flavors I smoke rarely so they never seem to go away. I tend to smoke around 6 times a week, so I can go through 250g of stuff I actually like in a short amount of time. It gets spread around in various flavors, though, so the stash in terms of gladware containers never seems to shrink.I have thrown out tobacco before, that being Nakhla mixed fruit, but that was more of a "this stuff is just a nasty flavor" than a "it has gone bad".

I like to keep a lot of flavors around.  Somewhere in the range of
6-8 250g jars open at any time.  I only smoke 2 or 3 times per
week, and it doesn't go bad in the amount of time it is open.  I
would say the average jar is probably open for around 2 months without
any problems.

I like to have the selection around.
