Guest Namenone Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 how much did it all cost you including S&H i live in uk too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 [quote name='Namenone']how much did it all cost you including S&H i live in uk too[/quote] $109 Which equates to about £54.50 However It might be worth getting a few of the uk guys together and put it a big order to keep the shipping down... And maybe an online retailer would give a decent discount for a 3-400$ Order? Worth a tickle maybe. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 hookahcompany have usually been good, but the shipping tends to take time (prob 7-10 days) on the other hand, fumari and hookah-shisha means you receive the stuff in 4-5 days. Cherry fakher is an excellent flavour, especially if you're a cherry fan. It's the top cherry in my opinion along with AL Amir Cherry which is a fantastic flavour. I'd also recommend the grape fakher (not golden) if you haven't tried that. 50g boxes available which always helps. I've tried layalina cherry and strawberry, and both were pathetic flavours. Not sure about the rest of their stuff. Charcoal is a waste of shipping imo. Loads of charcoal about in the UK. I've recently ordered the funnel head so will look forward to trying that along with a couple of tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 hey mo have you had al ajamy cherry? i thought it was terrific. very very flavorful tart cherry flavor. hows it compare to af if youve had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwieise Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I really liked Layalina Raspberry. The Cherry AF is very good too. King Mo; Why do you recommend against getting the Golden Grape. I've tried both and I must say Golden is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LondonShisha Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I don't think huge orders are neccesarily a good idea. More chance of getting stopped at customs.. however i'm in for a group buy - who wants to organise it? I'd like some AF flavours please....

May have to get it in another order. Never heard of al ajamy. Generally 'ajamy' is a derogatory term used toward Iranians by Arabs. It means 'None Arab' but used to refer to the Iranians, esp after the Iraq-Iran war. (just a little trivia) If I can get hold of some, will give it a go, but Fakher and Amir cherry are the best I've tried. They are 1000 percent better than Fumari cherry (garbage) Nakhla Cherry (poor) Romman Cherry (reasonable) Waha Cherry (poor) Starbuzz Cherry (very poor) Layalina cherry (garbage) Strangely enough, the best cherry I've tried was some random middle eastern brand that they had in a shisha cafe one time. (perhaps a syrian or a jordanian random brand). Maybe Al ajamy can recreate this, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular grape is liked by the majority of shisha smokers I know. Legendary flavour and I feel that it's far less risky than Golden Grape, which is nice to try after you've had regular grape.

King Mo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 It's not about it being derogatory or not, being a shia, I have lots of respect for Iran. It's about it being 'used' in a derogatory matter. Amongst some being Iranian/Arabic is something worthy of distinction and people always like to differentiate. The funny thing is, half the Iranians speak arabic and many Arabs speak Farsi, so they can all get along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA was completely pro Saddam, and many of the Shia in the south of Iraq did not want to fight their Iranian counterparts. Kuwaitis and other gulf Arabs including the Saddam supporters referred to the Iranians as Majoos (Zoroastrians), and Ajam (foreign, non-arab) to create enmity. All this really is down to the fact that most Arabs have been brainwashed to dislike the Shia. Iran has done alot to support the palestinian cause, yet the palestinians all backed Saddam, because of this 'pro arab' false propaganda. I believe it's all just to degrade the Shia, who in Saudi, Iraq and Iran, have the most oil and power Even (I think it was) the beach boys song in the USA was 'bomb bomb bomb, bomb bom Iran' (a play on words of one of their famous songs) at one of their concerts during the war. anyways, if u wanna discuss this, can be done via pm or in serious discussion ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- back to topic from me.
