Hello From Atlanta Area

[CigarDawg]

Hello, fellow hookah-lovers.

As you probably surmise from my username, I am a cigar-lover at heart. I am a member of several cigar forums and since I am getting older, I decided to keep the name I have been using on them for over 10 years to avoid having to remember a new one. I live north of Atlanta and have been smoking hookah for around 8 years. This is my favorite time of year to sit on the patio in the evenings and enjoy a few bowls of shisha, either alone or with friends. When I am feeling bold, I might smoke a cigar and a bowl at the same time. I am currently smoking a mix of Romman coconut and Al Fakher chocolate, which tastes like a Mounds bar. I own a couple of hookahs, neither of which I know the brand.

I have been visiting this site for a few months and it has been a terrific source of information for me, so please accept a hearty "Thank you" for your shared wisdom. I recently upgraded to Mya whips and it really made a difference. I am looking forward to upgrading to Vortex bowls and am currently using a mod in my regular clay ones to simulate the effect until I my local shop gets them in stock.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Long ashes and thick smoke,

CigarDawg

Welcome to the forum! I'm about three hours north of you, in Murfreesboro, TN. Hope you continue finding the forum helpful!

I am getting my supplies at a cigar shop on Old Milton Parkway in Alpharetta. Rick, the owner, has a nice selection of hookahs, shisha and accessories, though I wouldn't call it exhaustive by any means. My old shop was owned by a friend who was from an Iraqi family and he turned me on to the hookah. He went out of business earlier this year, so now I mostly smoke at home or a friend's home when I take it with me.

Thanks for the tip on Nazareth, I'll stop in someday and check it out.

Thanks for the welcome and the tip. Maybe I should try them both.

Well, I am clearly a newbie, screwing up with my very first thread! I apologize for not looking harder and finding the proper intro location. Flog away, I deserve it (this time, anyway )
