Mr.Feeny Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I went to my local shop and asked for Al Fakher, the woman who clearly knew nothing about her product (she told me km's were from Germany...lol) told me that she is selling 50g of Al Fakher for $25 and 500g for $95.. Now I may be fairly new to smoking hookah and I know in Canada they tax the shit out of tabaco but is this not ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well, KM's are egyptian. And that does seem terrible for AF I get it for $10 USD for 250g. But I also don't know the tax laws of Canadialand! Good luck buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 sounds like the lounge I work at! We aren't that bad just 18 for 250 grams fahker, but surprisingly only 21.99 for starbuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 If they are actually paying the taxes it sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sounds about right, unfortunately... Sorry man. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've seen up to $30 for a 250 of AF in some of the local shops, and $20 for 50g of Taru at a cigar shop (which was paying taxes, clearly). Order online, always order more than 1kg, never order tobacco mixed with other things (pipes, bowls, hoses, etc) and you shouldn't have problems. If they stop it at customs and you follow what I just said, it gets sent back to the shipper and you can either get them to resend it or get a refund (minus your shipping costs). You mentioned you had success with Ultimate Hookah in another thread. Stick with them. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could pay for your own health care :) Right, I am looking into healthcare for me and my gf since we are both turning 26 this year, it is going to be 600 a month for the two of us, when we eventually have children, it is 1500 a month for a family plan. This is in Massachusetts, one of us may have to go get a job with benefits while the other runs the business, damn healthcare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah insurance sucks that's why once our lounge is going good one of us have to keep our job full time, insurance for our family of 4 is about 400 a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah insurance sucks that's why once our lounge is going good one of us have to keep our job full time, insurance for our family of 4 is about 400 a month 400 a month, is that with both of you working at the lounge? Or one working full time? I ask b/c 400 a month is a damn good price for a family plan if you are on your own ie. running your own business.
