cymptom Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Well I was in need of some new AF, so as soon as the pimp made that thread about the new lower prices I ordered 250g of plum, cola and golden black grape. Soon after I ordered, he emailed me telling me that since I was the first to order at the lower price, he'd throw in an extra gift and free 2nd day shipping. Sure enough, my order came 2 days later with an extra one of these guys: [url="http://www.pimpyourhookah.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen="]http://www.pimpyourhookah.com/Merchant2/me...ant.mvc?Screen=[/url] PROD&Store_Code=PYH&Product_Code=YML No complaints so far about how the tobacco smokes... although it does look to be expired. If the date on the box is an expiration date, all 3 boxes expired March 2006. The Cola and Black Grape smoke and smell fine... the plum I haven't tried yet, and I'm a bit scared because it smells like wood. Overall, I'm not dissatisfied with the deal. The pimp gets an A for service and effort. Keep in mind that his Al-Fakher may be past the expiration date though. Mine seems fine so far and I'll report back about the plum later.

cymptom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hmm, strange... I tested the link when I posted it, but now it doesn't work. Anyway, yeah, it's the Yellow Mini Light-up Hookah on his site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding_Heart1 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 WTF thats f**kin awesome. Good deal man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4r80n Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I may be wrong, but I believe it might be the production code. If I'm wrong, I've got expired AF too but it still tastes great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Lucky! Let us know how the mini smokes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yea the Black Grape and Cola taste great (I'm especially impressed with the Cola... wow) The plum smells funny but that may just be how it is. I'll be trying it soon. The Cola burns my nose when I smell it I don't think it's a production code... mine says "MAR 2006" right underneath the health warning. I'd think it's either an expiration date, sell-by date, or the manufacturing date. The little hookah is cute. It doesn't seem like the best functional piece, but it looks nice. I already ran the light battery out... I turned it on and forgot, the next day it was dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookah Pimp Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 FYI everyone any date printed on a box of tobacco is the date it was sealed in the air tight containers. i know this because is im in the process of creating a compeating line to starbuzz tobacco it will taste beter and cost less. but in my heart Fakher is the best.

cymptom Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Good to know Pimp... in that case, the tobacco is rather fresh! Are you making this new line of tobacco yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Pimp Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yes its called Oasis tobacco we are designing it to compete with Starbuzz and any other over priced "EXOTIC" tobacco. We are using the same techniques as al Fakher uses buy leaving the leaves to soak in the molasses for about 4 weeks the air sealing them to preserve the flavor. the entire line will be done buy the 11th annual Arab American Festival in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hmmmm, I'd be interested in trying your new tobacco... too bad I'm in Alabama :/ Will oasis be as expensive as Starbuzz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Pimp Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 no thats the whole point it will taste better and cost less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 The name Oasis for tobacco is already in use...how are you going to get a trademark?More to the point, before your start giving tobacco away, you have to be federally licensed and licensed within the state you are conducting business from. You would still have to pay taxes on the tobacco you gave away. Every free sample I give away still has to have the state and federal taxes paid on it. The penalties for excise tax evasion are somewhat more severe than regular tax evasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Pimp Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 We already have all the licensing and the copyright, so I guess you could say we're one step ahead of you. Thanks for looking out though. We know what's up and how to go about things, and we wouldn't pick a name that we wouldn't be able to use. We're also very aware of the taxes, that's something that any hookah business owner would know, and just like the rest of you, I know about all the little details. Good input though. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Just finished up a bowl of the AF Plum -- it was very enjoyable and tasted much better than it smelled. I've really taken a liking to these milder fruit flavors (Tangiers Apricot being my current favorite.) I'll be getting some AF Apricot soon...Once I give these flavors a few more runs through I may write up some reviews. I've been kinda sick lately and can't smoke as often as I'm tempted to...
