Imported Shisha

[rkline123]

Can anyone recommend a site or way to buy imported shisha? The american shisha (nakhla, tangiers, starbuzz etc) isn't strong enough. My friend brough back shisha from turkey and it was incredible - very strong, great buzz, not too sweet. Any recommendations for import sources would be appreciated. Or, american shisha that fits the description.

Thanks!

If Tangiers and Nakhla isn't strong enough for you, then the only other thing I can suggest for you is the hardcore black stuff that you smoke with no foil, where you put the coals RIGHT on the coal. I heard if gives a hella big buzz... I tried Elmas tobacco from Turkey once, good stuff. Didn't pack much of a buzz, though.

What is the black shisha called? Who makes it?

Something like this I believe: [url="http://www.hookahset.com/Product_92.html"]http://www.hookahset.com/Product_92.html[/url]

Its a full tobacco taste, no fruit flavours. I never tried it though...

Nakhla is imported and so is Starbuzz but its washed. I thought Nakhla was strong but looks like you have big tolerance for nicotin. I would suggest Desi Murli which is a dark tobacco , slightly flavoured and it is available in the US and from what I heard packs a hell of punch. ALso, very cheap :

Desi Murli is pretty intense. Give it a shot, helps to mix a little glycerine in though if you're not putting the coals right on, better clouds. Cool flavors even in the original kind, and a very heavy buzz. I ordered from the above site maybe two years ago and everything went well.

They are spot on. Desi Murli is one of the only way to go if Tangiers and Nakhla isn't working. The black stuff like Zaghloul and Khan arent very strong. Not strong enough for be what you are looking for at least.

twoapples knows his shit when it comes to the traditional smokes. I am sure he knows of something else that might pack a big buzz.

[i] [/i]I only tried one flavour and that was Strawberry Milkshake and the flavour was not very strong. I didn't personly care for it because I do not like strong tobacco but from what I heard thats typical of this brand, You tend to taste the tobacco and other earthy tones in addtion to the flavours. If you happen to be a starbuzz fan then this is not for you but at $6 for 300G you can take a chance and experiment with a couple of flavours. Also, a phunnel or vortex would be a good choice considering the cut. One more thing to remember is this brand does not use preservatives so do not stock up on huge amounts unless you are going to smoke it fairly quickly (or store it in the fridge).
