AzZ Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I normally order my tobacco from the US (to the UK) for obvious reasons. I thought I'd just do a search and found this site. [url="http://al-fakher-tobbaco.com/cart/"]http://al-fakher-tobbaco.com/cart/[/url] I'm not convinced though as those prices are seriously cheap (for the UK anyway). The products seem to be coming direct from Dubai according to the site and they also have a pic of their Dubai store [url="http://al-fakher-tobbaco.com/cart/images/OURSTORE.JPG"]CLICKY![/url] I dunno though, what are your thoughts. Too good to be true? This site has been discussed once before [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/38261-anyone-used-this-site/page__p__471193__hl__tobbaco__fromsearch__1#entry471193"]HERE[/url] but whether or not it's legit was never found. and finally....here is the sites WHOIS profile: [url="http://whois.domaintools.com/al-fakher-tobbaco.com"]http://whois.domaint...her-tobbaco.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 these are the prices i pay for nakhla in israel in nargila stores . so if i pay these prices after the tobbacco been imported from egypt , a store gets it for cheaper and sell for the prices i get it . if they pay low taxes for it , could be legit [img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/good2.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 That's not the actual Al Fakher website. The AF site is alfakher-online.com I believe. On the site you listed, that may be real AF, but it may very well be fake. Plenty of fake AF to be found. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Put in a small order to check if they are legit ?

I pay even less than that for AF here in India....that is about 1 pound for a 50gm packet. How to tell if it's fake or not ? :-s Any give away ?

king_lunchb0x Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 heres a linky to some fake stuff http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/27927-el-fakher/page__p__332771__hl__%2Bfake+%2Bfakher__fromsearch__1#entry332771 http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/24214-fake-al-fakher-vs-genuine/page__p__287011__hl__%2Bfake+%2Bfakher__fromsearch__1#entry287011 seems like its pretty obvious in the difference..but those posts are a bit old so maybe the new fakes have gotten better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am wary of ANY site that doesn't post a phone number. You can try contact AF in dubai and asking them if the site is legit. Remember, if something is too good to be true...it probably is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 looking closer, the boxes are wrong. compare the melon on that site to one say at hookahcompany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzZ Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I've emailed both the site and AF's exporter in the UAE so I'll wait for a reply. Good spot with the Melon box. If I don't hear anything from anyone I may place a very small order and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzZ Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Here is the reply I got from the UAE exporter of AF: [i]"Dear Sir, Thank you for your interest in Al Fakher products. Kindly be informed that Al Fakher's on line service is on www.alfakher-online.com and we are not responsible for any other site. If you need any further assistance do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You and Best Regards Alfakher Export Department"[/i] Also the account of that site has been suspended which is weird as it wasn't last night. Perhaps it was a result of sending an email to AF [i] [/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 And thats a KILL. I'd say it wasn't very legit if AF just knocked it down in 1 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
