Tyler Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 So I wanted to go pick up some shisha while I wait for my check to be deposited and processed and I came across this tin, it didn't say anything on it, no flavor no weight no anything except it had the arabic script letter "mim." I smelled it and it smelt like...fig newtons? The person at the store had no idea what it was or where it came from so I didn't buy it but I might go back and pick it up if its still there tomorrow...has anyone else ever seen or heard of this "mim" brand? The tin was like a fusion tin [square version of a SB tin] and on the lid it had a "mim" and on the side it had one as well, black lable with a brownish pink color for the script.[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/scratch_one-s_head.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydancerakn Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hell if it is cheap go for it. It's like at a restaraunt, order the weirdest thing on the menu and you can be pleasently suprised. I like fig newtons, so I would probably like to smoke fig newton shisha. Take a picture of the packaging, some of our middle-eastern members might recognize it.

The cut was awkward too and it looked really, really dry like herbal or kind of like JMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbles Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 10 For tangiers?? I wish. HJ and HC sell Noir for 15.95 and Lucid line for 17.95. Im always on the hunt for weird shisha. Ive even walked into some middle eastern stores hoping to find some surpises. No luck. Most have old old nakhla. My wife's cousin is in Iran on business, and should be back in a week or two. he promised me some more 50g packs of Iranian shisha. Its sorta traditional, it came in only 5 flavors Lemon, Orange, Mint, 2 apples & original. The Mint had a picture of a stick of gum with "MINT" in farsi written on it. Ill take some pics when he arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can barter and get a better deal? Might be able to if it is an indipendantly run business. Also, I was telling my mom about this and she just gave me this look. Basically said, it's middle eastern & smells like fig newton? Well then odds are it's probably fig. She is right about fig being a rather traditional flavor, maybe not when it comes to shisha, for cooking and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 I went back to take a picture of it and it was gone, the owner was there so I asked him about it he said it was from somewhere in northern Europe [guessed Norway actually?] and that it was a herbal brand called Madam Mim's Smoke. I told him to order another tin of it for me but he said he couldn't because his suppliers didn't have any more. I'm beginning to think it was NHT-related given the location and type of store it was in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
