God Damn! That's terrible. The shop by me sells em for 12. Wow.


Same here. I think that because it's a hookah lounge they lure in a bunch of ignorant college students with their parents money in-hand and not a clue what they're doing, or at least that's how it seems around here. The lounges around me charge a shitton as well, but the local lebanese store has prices better than any online.

15 bucks for 100 grams of starbuzz, 22 for 250 grams....maybe its just me but you are getting a better deal at that place for the 250 grams..how the hell do they even make money off of this I mean come on starbuzz isnt that great is it?

I think local places think that this is a convenience store mentality and jack up the prices. My buddy got ripped - $30 for 2 boxes (250g ea) of Nakhla and 2 rolls of 3k.

As for ignorant people running the place - the guy at my local joint (ICE Hookah Lounge in Towson, MD) was a real winner when I was in this weekend. He said I should come in and smoke their hookah, and I asked what kind - he said "Al Waha and Starbuzz." Last I knew SB didn't make a hookah, but I just kept going and told him I got a new Mya last week and he looked at me like I was insane and told me they use SB.

I bought what I wanted and left, likely to never return unless I'm out of stuff and they're the only place open. I might rather get ripped at the Indian Kabob place I mentioned above before I'd walk back into ICE.

Our local "shops" sell for around the same prices as the link. Quicklights for 2.75$ I think, 6$ for 50g of Laya, 16.50$ for 100g of Starbuzz. I just stumbled on a new shop though that sells cocos and AF at a pretty reasonable price for those long waits courtesy of UPS.

the only store around me that sells any hookah stuff charges 3.25 for a roll of 3K and 8.25 for 250 of nakhla


8.25 for 250g of nakhla isn't bad. I have a shop about 20 min from my house and they charge 4.99 for 250g of nakhla, that is the price it should be yes.gif
