DizzyGuy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I haven't tried it... but that's because it has only gotten bad reviews around here. I'm guessing that you're talking about the HookahHookah black label? *or i think it's hookahhookah...* yeah, they brought it out as some big thing so several people around here tried it... and didn't smoke it anymore lol. THere's Soex too, but that too hasn't gotten great reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Tried Soex Strawberry... it was disgusting...really realy really bad.I have not tried the black lable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDarragh Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Quick question about it, what the hell do they use instead of tobacco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 "special blend of herbs"... in most cases you won't find out because that's what makes it "special" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 A friend of mine has a kilo of mint, berry, lemon, and one other flavour that i cant think of at the moment, but they are all tobacco free. The stuff was bought when he visited Jordan last year. i thought it was ok, it definatly isnt as good but its not bad. Has a totally different taste, the mint doesnt taste anything like Al waha, or any of the other good mint brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAEPhoenix Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I have tried the black label from hookahhookah... *puke* absolutely horrible! It was their covetted Acai Berry, which is supposed to be a great signature flavor; smelled like feet, looked like death, and tasted like... well a combination of the two I suppose. There was absolutely nothing enjoyable about it. I would NOT reccomend the black label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shisha fan Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 a while ago i had bought some different soex flavors and they were terrible, smoking that stuff made me realise nakhla isn`t so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUXOR HOOKAHS Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 By the way, the stuff they use instead of tobacco is chopped up sugar cane (at least with Soex) not sure about Black Label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Now usually I'd say "just try to get away with it"...but you're 15. Maybe you should check out some herbal stuff, even if it may be unpleasantly tasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsessedwHookah77546 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Soex isnt that great. It looks like a bunch of sticks..like mulch haha. Smells weird, tastes like crap. Not for me.Anyone try Afzal? The nicotine version of Soex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Yep.I tried Afzal silver fox. It's not that bad actually. It is a very dark tobacco and fairly fresh. unlike Al Fakhir, Layalina, Al Amir ect i would not go out of my way for Afzal though.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samildanach Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) steer well clear of black label.. man that stuff is DISGUSTING!!! try teh search mate.. i havent heard a good thing said about it.. i bought kiwi, lemon and menthol cost me a fortune to get it to the uk too..and if ur trying to convince your parents..black label is definately the wrong thing to try..because...when u smioke it, it smells like weed.. that will soon have ur folks stoppin u ...but seriously black label is disgusting..soex is a little bit better, and smokes like crazy, ull have clouds of smoke.. still not too keen on it..but its way better than black label.

ghostofdavid Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I don't think that the Herbal stuff is much better (potentially worse) for you than tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Here's how my friend convinced his mom a few years ago. We may have lied a bit... but it worked."Mom, actually we're not smoking the tobacco at all. Nooo, actually the moistness and the glycerin is really just being heated by the coals and vaporized, and that is what creates the smoke. The tobacco never actually burns! Not to mention, its filtered through water, so it takes out everything bad. All it is is a nice way to kick back and relax, and get some nice flavors in your mouth."Now I know thats not 100% true, but it worked on her... she even joins him now and then.

CaliforniaRose Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I do think 15 is a bit young, but thats my opinion. As for convincing her, what about sticking to washed brands which have significantly lower nicotine content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molson Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 well im not your parent but i will say i strongly believe 15 is young. that being said being older dosnt give me the right to ruin my health either!now i to satrted when i was underage (first time i was 12 in isreal, then started regularly at age 17). i simply chose not to tell my parents, i dont do it infront of them. i still dont, they wont stop me from doing it or even lecture me but i see no point to tell them still it would only lead to dissapointment and i dont even live at home. BUT when i did live at home i had a tiny little one i got off a friend (it was sooo bad and leaked everywhere...covered in duct tape) i hid it in my room, and carried it in my back pack. getting shisha and coals were allways fun considering you were under age.i then took a break from it for a few years....then ordered a junior of hookah-shisha. sold it maybe 4 motnhs later....then 2 years later here i am waiting for a my 28'' SS hookah (hoping it will be here monday or tuesday)so basically all in all i kept it hidden and i still do! but its easier since i live on my own and a hour and a half flight away from them hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
