Johnny_D Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well, I took the plunge, nothing extravagent, but a little test order :- Layaline :- Cherry, Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, Kiwi Strawberry. Al Waha :- Grape, Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, Kiwi Strawberry. All 50g boxed. So that's still a load of Shisha! And cost comparison? 500g of the available shishas would costs me between UK22 & UK25 So this has just cost #22 inc shipping. No problem there! Now let's see if it arrives!

gingervoodoo Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I've ordered lots of 50g sample packs from hookahcompany.com and southsmoke.com and all ordered have turned up to liverpool safe and sound. And blooming good job they did too, or I'd be smoking the dried up old rubbish available here. At the moment southsmokes got a bit of a sale on and they're great. If youre just trying out different stuff until you figure out what you like. 1. southsmoke.com do 50g packs of al amir (cherry is mmmmmmm....) and al waha's 2. hookahcompany.com do 50g packs of layliana and al faker (al fakhers the best I've tried I reckon. 3. Hookah-shisha.com do 50g packs of romman and havana, I've just ordered 12 different flavours. enjoy......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramellanne Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My first shisha order came from southsmoke.com as well. The only thing that disappointed me was when I got the box is was all beat up and torn...that could be fedex's fault. Also, the bag of charcoal that I ordered had spilled out everywhere, all over my shisha, luckily it was sealed. It was a fricken mess, but other than that..they are a good company to order from.

gingervoodoo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've just ordered some stuff off hookah-kings 'cos there was 20% off for hookah-forum customers. I dont know what they're like but they sent me the UPS tracking sheet a few hours after the order. Hows that for service. I got some tangiers that people seem to like but I haven't tried. I also got a couple of 'Sindbads'. They had TWO cherry flavours to choose from, I haven't tried that tobacco but you'd buy it for the packaging alone. Anyone else tried these two?

And I haven't heard of anyone trying Sinbad in a long time... but I don't believe the reviews were good lasttime someone did try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Never had any problems with hookahcompany or southsmoke. I've also ordered from hookah-shisha and fumari with no problems. Hookah-shisha and fumari have ultra fast delivery /processing. (probably 5 days) Hookahcompany and southsmoke are slower, (7-10 days maybe) It all depends really on the post. But Hookahcompany and southsmoke have better prices. I recently ordered some stuff from Shisha-world, which is in germany and as it's EU you'll get no customs on anything. They deliver DHL and I got my stuff in 48 hours. Shame they don't do premium Tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LondonShisha Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Just placed my first order with shisha-world for a new Mya Acrylic Sheesha and some coal. Hope it all goes through smoothly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingervoodoo Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I had a look at the shisha-world site and it looked really good. I thought the tobacco side of things let it down though, does anyone know why the US has got all this amazing shisha and we can have to search high and low to find anything good in the EU? Is is EU laws or something? Or are we just way behind the US in this?! Oh, and shisha worlds standard postage is 16.80 euros (about 9.50?). It doens't matter how teeny weeny the parcel is either! So you have to order enough to justify the postage. I can't find anything in the reviews section for sinbad shisha. :-( I am not hopeful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samildanach Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hey JD.. just wondering if you got ur order yet? im from leeds and want to order some ecent flavours... what postage method did you use? coz it costs a fortune on most us websites that i have checked.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 with shisha world, it's only worthwhile if you are purchasing equipment. I bought the QT shisha from there. They seem to have a wide range of charcoal too, which may be worth buying. From the usa, any reasonable order will probably cost 30-40 dollars to ship. You also have to sweat every time in case you get customs charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samildanach Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 thanx king mo ive actually just ordered from shisha-world.. a huge order for myself and friends 185 euros... hopefully should receive it soon. im dying to order some starbuzz baccy, but it just seems so expensive with postage..

King Mo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 hookahcompany, hookah-shisha and Southsmoke have all shipped here fine with no customs charges (due to clever labelling, but I do request this, not sure if it's standard practice). Starbuzz Cherry is rubbish. May try another flavour of theirs soon, but trust me, strike that one off your list of potential purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very light in flavor but what taste it does have is good. It is one of the lower end taste qualitity of SB but I still like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
