slicerd Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 They are kind of the big hubub right now check out this topic[url="http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=520&PN=1"] [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=520&"]http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/forum_pos...asp?TID=520&[/url][/url] ; ; ;PN=1 Its kind of long but the jist is they stole Hookahcultures stuff and have refused to take it off of their website or even talk to him really. HookahCuluture spent a long time on the stuff they stole and there are some people kind of pissed about it. They have definitally lost some customers on this board already. But I dont think anybody has acutally ordered anything from them yet or I havent heard about it anyway. So order at your own risk I just made an order to www.socialsmoke.com and will review their stuff in a day or two. Also www.thehookah.com and www.shisha-hookah.com://http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/fo...isha-hookah.com all seem to be good people to order from (although shisha-hookah looks like the best). So has anybody acutally ordered from hookahhookah or is all we have to go on is the current scandal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 If I hadn't just given my hookah away, I would have ordered-up a full supply of their varied and very tasty-looking flavors. Hey, credit cards are insured, my bank just settled a claim against a webcam site for fraudulently-misusing my card. I got back $200 that the site stole from me. I don't know what the story is with Hookah-Hookah stealing from other's websites, but their tobacco looks AWESOME I'm tempted to order a new hookah and try-out Hookah-Hookah's different flavors. But then that would mean a WHOLE new investment in a hookah, coals, accessories, tobacco, etc.... Ahhh, but it's SO tempting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Well, not long after posting my last measage, I ordered 9 flavors from Hookah-Hookah, everything except the Menthol. Then I went out to the local Mediterranian food store and bought one of those little 14" Chinese-made $40.00 Hookahs. It came with a HUGE bowl and a set of tongs. I got 3 boxes of 3Kings coals and 3 Nakhla flavors.....Cherry, Coconut, and Banana, to hold me over until the tobacco from Hookah-Hookah arrives. I ordered Overnite Delivery, so I should have it by Saturday. I'll post a brief review on their flavors if anyone is interested. I couldn't help it guys, their flavors just looked SO tempting the way they described them that I couldn't resist. I've tried just about every other brand out there, and I'm really DYING to try something new. I hope this isn't going to turn out to be another pitiful Al-Amir experience. But we shall see. Yes, I gave away my hookah this afternoon, along with a recently purchased stock of coals, massall, and foil. But quite frankly, I was growing very bored of the the Romman flavors that I gave away. I tried going a WHOLE day without smoking any massall, and I nearly OD'd on pipe tobacco, to get rid of my OVERWHELMING desire to smoke some massall. I realise tonite's purchase was an impulse buy, especially all the cash I wasted on Overnight Delivery, but I'm a die-hard Hookah smoker and I couldn't live without it. I smoke from 10 to 15 bowls a day, which is going to stop, because it was giving me a TON of congestion in my throat and chest, which is what led me to give my hookah away to linkcat, who just happens to live in the same city and neighborhood as me. He's gonna be set for massell and coals for the next 2 months or more. But that's okay, I don't mind helping-out a broke starving student. And apparently he's going to be sending-out samples to all of you guys in the near future. So, it all worked-out. Now, I have to get over the PAIN of waiting for my tobacco to arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Belphegor......thanks for the tip on Hookah-Hookah. You work for the company, right? Seriously, I'll post a review on those flavors when I've had a chance to try them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I've been away for a while, when did you decide to do this Math? did you give everything away? even your rotator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yep, EVERYTHING, even my precious rotator But, it doesn't matter, it was an exercise in discipline to give away all that stuff. Granted, it was a bad decision on my part, but that's life. We all make decisions we regret later. This new 14" Chinese Hookah isn't bad, though. It sits right on top of my desk next to my monitor, and produces a very satisfying smoke. The bowl that came with it is HUGE and I can pack twice as much massel in it. If I ever decide to get rid of my hookah again, which I doubt will ever happen, I will not be losing that much. Infact, maybe I'll make a few bucks off it. But, it was cheap enough that it didn't leave a hole in my wallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Oh, to answer your question, I decided to give everything away early Thursday morning, when I was coughing continuously with every puff. I just decided that my health was more important. Well, damn my health, I'll just smoke less Belphagor......yes, I've tried the Romman Coconut, and I think it ROCKS!!! You probably either packed the bowl too tight or filled it to high. It's obvious that you burnt the tobacco, because otherwise you wouldn't have gotten that burnt crappy taste. The Romman Coconut is very good if you prepare the bowl correctly and don't use too much coal. I could just be that you were tasting the charcoal in your smoke. You're going to enjoy the AF Cappuccino and Cola, those are very good choices. Haven't tried the others, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highpockets Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Al Waha Jasmine is vile filth. El Basha Jasmine is a much better choice, and indeed, one of my favorite smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I just spoke with Hookah-Hookah, and they said my order will be here Saturday morning. Damn I can't wait!!! I ordered: Melon, Grape, Apple, Cherry, Pineapple, Margarita, Hazelnut, Vanilla, and Strawberry. The guy said that after the 1rst of the year, they'll have 10 new flavors. Cognac and Jamaican Rum were just a couple. I'll post some reviews tomorrow. My reviews are short and to the point. This is my rating system: ROCKS!!! = AMAZING SUCKS!!! = Well you can figure that one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 [b]If you care about business ethics and respect the hookah vibe you won't buy from them.[/b] [b]THEY ARE HONORLESS THIEVES WHO STOLE FROM ME.[/b] See the thread called [b]STOLEN MATERIAL.[/b] [b]They totally lifted my hookah lounge directory and made a derivative work in direct copyright violation.[/b] I linked to them since day one of HookahCulture.com and I'm quite sure they've made some sales off me, and this is how they treat a PROMOTER OF THE INDUSTRY. They say they love what I do, and respect what I do, BUT THEY LIE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
