kmccoy90 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This new store opened up, primarily a roll-your-own organic tobacco store. They have some decent hookahs available, nothing too crazy though. I stopped in, as I often do, to get some coals to hold me over until I can order some online. Today, however, I realized they updated their stock significantly... 1. 108 count Cocomazaya boxes for $9.99. HUH? 2. 250 g tins of Starbuzz for $13.99 (admittedly not my favorite but for the price, of course I will). HUH? 3. The device that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention that turns the hookah bowl upside down. I hope you all know what I mean. I laughed audibly when I saw it. I talked to the cashier, who clearly had no idea that those prices were not the industry standard. I'm sure the majority of us are used to paying 15+ for Coco brand coals, and at least 20+ for 250 g tins of Starbuzz. I was a little taken aback. I figure I'll capitalize on this while I can.

A13lackFish Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Def stock on the Cocos, and if I were you grab some of the more known flavors of Starbuzz and then resell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atalanta Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I noticed two local shops, same owner different states, had CCNs for about a $5 difference between State A and State B. Suffice to say, I buy at the cheaper location since that's the same as the online price. What part of P'burgh? So I know where to go next time I'm out there....

Coyote Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Sounds like it might be too good to be true. CCNs for $10? I hope they aren't knock offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Where is the shop and what is it named? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I would buy a box of cocos and go home and smoke them, and if out of several sets of coals smell and smoke legit, clean them out the next day. At that price for SB I would try some flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoRSX Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I just stopped by my local smoke shop I used to hit up before I started ordering online. They have refilled their supply, still only having Starbuzz, Fantasia, and a Brand called Nile that the owner of the shop called just an average hookah tobacco. . But my guy is also selling Cocomazaya's(108 pcs) for 9.99 as well. Think I'm finally going to give these a try for that price, since it seems like a killer deal, and if I don't like them, I'm sure I can pass them along to someone on here.

Chreees Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If these local shops are selling legit CCN/CCM for $10 a box and making profit, it's gotta make you wonder how much online retailers get them for wholesale and how much of a markup there is... I understand they have got to make their money, but are they charging too much? At my local shop, 108 box of CCN are $12.99. But I like the CCM cubes better, so I get them online instead.

atalanta Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I can't justify the difference in price between buying locally and buying online with shipping. A box of coals isn't light and right now I don't buy enough to qualify for the "spend $$$ get free shipping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
