yashman19 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Howdy people. Hows everyone doing today?Running a tad low on the tobacco front, and have been looking for an online solution. It was a tough decision, seeing as how SS has a great discount available to members, hookahcompany.com is great for tangiers, and my local supplier gives great prices. But I felt I wanted to try ordering from a new source, and Pimp Your Hookah has fantastic prices on Fakher that I couldn't pass up.I put my order in this aftenoon, and it is as follows:Code Name Quantity Price/Ea. Total-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1PMTV 100 Plastic Mouthpiece Tips (female version) 1 $4.95 $4.95CVP Clear Vase Protector 1 $2.95 $2.95GAF Grapes Al Fakher 250g 1 $7.50 $7.50LAF Lemon Al Fakher 250g 1 $7.50 $7.50CAF60 Cola Al Fakher 250g 1 $7.50 $7.50VAA Vanilla Al Amir 250g 1 $8.95 $8.95 Shipping: U.S.P.S Ground: $7.00 Sales Tax: $0.00------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total: $46.35Shipping wasn;t bad at all, even though I'm not ordering a hookah or anything majorly heavy. But I've been missing my Fakher for quite some time and decided to restock a bit. Cola because it was my favorite back in the day, and I haven't had a cola flavor in over 6+months. Lemon because it was a solid, sweet and accurate flavor, and Grape, because grape is a classic that never gets old in my book :)Then I went for some AA Vanilla. Everyone who has seen my tobacco surplus knows that I always have Vanilla on hand at any time. It's by far my most favorite flavor. Smooth, very mellow non-overpowering flavor. Creamy, mixes well with anything or solid on its own.. I will be using this thread to write my thoughts on PYH.com, and also my brief reviews on these particular flavors.So if you are thinking about ordering from PYH.com but would like to hear more experiences with them, be patient and I will get on my reviews.

DizzyGuy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was actually just looking at their site and just about to start a new thread but you might be able to answer this... do you know if their x-large clay bowls are tangiers or tangiers comperable?

yashman19 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 So far so good. The site might decieve most in that it doesn't look AS professional as some of the bigger sites, but I liked the fact that there was that little "lock icon" in my address bar, which typically means you are in a secure loction. That was pretty asuring.Then I got two emails imediately after placing my order explaining that my order has been processed, thanking me for my business and giving me my order number, reciept and all that jazz.So despite having a bit cheaper of a site, my first impressions with the ordering process are a plus. Everything went smoothly with my transactions, and everything went typically the same with when I ordered from other online sites.So thus far, 9/10. Only reason for not giving a perfect score was because of the sites layout. I had to scroll through all the tobacco in order to find what I wanted, but a 9 is still great in my book. Like I said, I will continue giving my thoughts/impressions as my order gets to me, but so far, things are looking positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, they looked to be tangiers style, but I'm just not sure. Maybe Mr. PYH will make an appearance and answer your question for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I'm 99% sure they are Tangiers bowls, the smaller of the two (though still much larger than the average bowl).Yashman: Yeah, AF Cola is currently a favorite of mine. Lemon seems like a solid flavor as well, though I've only had it mixed with mint so far. Haven't tried normal grape, only the Golden Black Grape which is a bit rich for my tastes.I've never had a good vanilla, so I'm waiting to hear how you make out with the Al Amir. edit: I've made a few orders from PYH as well and it's been great. I've spoken to Billy on the phone many times and he's always very eager to make sure that everything meets the customers' satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 [quote name='cymptom']I've never had a good vanilla, so I'm waiting to hear how you make out with the Al Amir.[/quote] Well you might not want to listen to my review on vanilla, as I love almost every vanilla I've tried Each vanilla brings something different to the table for me.I've tried Waha vanilla, amir, fakher, pharoahs, naklah and I can't remember the other. But I pretty much loved them all. Each have their own style, and for some odd reason every single one of them was amazing to me.So I'll be as accurate as I can, but just know some people think I'm crazy [quote name='cymptom']edit: I've made a few orders from PYH as well and it's been great.

djbomberto Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 WHAT? NO GOOD VANILA!!! you should read my review on Starbuzz Vanilla. i've tried them all and starbuzz was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Actually Yash, the only vanilla I've ever tried is a Starbuzz sample I got from SS. I have 50g of Layalina Vanilla right now that I haven't tried yet, but it smells much better than the Starbuzz did. A little similar to vanilla extract, actually. I'll let you know how it is, as best as a non-vanilla connoisseur can EDIT: ^^ hahah... well, maybe I just suck then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hm..now a real interesting test would be for someone to order from HYP and NOT say they are from the forum and see what kind of service you get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityboyyy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 i always wanted to order from them but the site looks kinda sketchy ... i wanna hear a good handful of people that had a good experience with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Search the forums, I think everyone who has ordered has been satisified. If memory serves me right there has been one or two people with a small problem but it got fixed quick fast and in a hurry. It helps having PYH involved in the forum from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 Well, I've been out of town for the past few days, so I haven't had a chance to write any reviews yet, but I just wanted to say that my order with PYH.com arrived just this past friday.The thing I liked the most about ordering from PYH.com was the careful attention I recieved. Billy emailed me right after I placed my order and said it would go out first thing monday morning, and that if I needed to make any changes at all, I could email or call his cell number, which I thought was really nice.Good to know that he backs his company with really great customer support. Makes me feel a bit safer.Anywoo, my order got here with everything nicely packaged, and also an extra 100ct mouthtips, which filled the only empty space in the box it came in. Thanks a lot Billy!Anywoo, PYH.com definitely has another satisfied customer. Anytime I need some more Fakher (and hopefully Starbuzz) in the future, I know where to look.I'll try and get around to reviewing those flavors later on this week.
