got my vote. even if it were just 4 sections: west coast, east coast, midwest, and south.

it would be cool to have hookah bar reviews inside these sections along with a list of places to buy

edit: maybe a couple sections for the brothers across the pond too Edited by ASUSEAN1

Yer, might be handy i guess.

I take it that it would be for regional smoke shops, tobacco carrying shops & shisha bars?

I'd love to see a uk sub-forum just for the above. Anything else should be within the main forum though.

I think a separate forum for Lounge reviews would be good, but don't see the need to regionalize it. As long as the location is clearly stated in the title, it should be easy enough to browse. If you specialize it too much, I think you would just create more work for the mods, moving misplaced reviws around.

edit: maybe custom post icons? Edited by Sariél

True enough. My issue would be that it might create work for the user, having to search around for all the lounges in a particular area. I imagine that reviews for some lounges will get lost in later pages, and those that end up on the first page would be disproportionately looked at. Also, I think it would be nice if there could be one stickied summary of all the bars/lounges/shops in an area for easy reference, and that would be easiest to look at if organized by region. Now that forums can be divided and subdivided, I think this all might be easier than it once was, for the mods.

Just my thoughts...

I'm completely for the idea. You guys in the US have it sweet, but finding good stuff online or locally can be a real challenge when you live in a country or town where the hookah ain't quite mainstream.

A section for lounges could be good.

Personally, as I live in Toronto (history of British loyalists and puritans -- people assume hookah=pothead) I'd love to get some reviews for online shops -- especially shipping, duties, taxes, customer service from the Canadian perspective. How do shops label it for shipping? Who serves Canadian customers? What sort of shipping/duties have people paid?

And I'd love to be able to post and read reviews of local hookah/shisha/head shops. Toronto, for example, has about a zillion headshops (Yonge St, Queen St, etc.) and I'd love to know where I can get some great shisha tobacco. All I've been able to find (without going on a serious hunt) is the herbal Soex (okay for mixing, but blah by itself) and Nakhla Double Apple in the 250g size. Plus, who sells decent hookahs? Mine's a nice starter (Egyptian, 30-something"), but not the greatest quality.

Another reason: when I travel, I want to know where to go for some good stuff/good lounges. Anybody from Montreal have tips?

I would recommend by region, but then break down some of the larger areas (e.g. LA, SD, Bay Area, etc.) into cities.



well the region can be done into two ex: socal and norcal, and then great lakes for (IL IN MI MN OH WI) south east, north east, suth west, north west. that would be much easy. i live in socal, oc area. and there are lot of hookah lounges/bars in oc. also through out whole LA county. in cali it self have a lot of lounges/head shops and having norcal and socal makes things lot easier. i think this would be a good way to make things easy.
