Just Got Back From The (unofficial) Hookah Capital Of The U.s.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I am back from an awesome weekend of smoking in Dearborn, MI. I swear it was one of the best times of my life. I also bought a nice Argeleh there and about 1.5 kg of tobacco (was gonna buy more but I can buy it cheaper in bulk from a friend of mine...good thing I didnt buy more tongue.gif ), Anyways just wanted to let you all know how great of a time it was and I bought 1kg of AF Eskandarani Apple (750g is for a friend), 250g of AF mixed fruit and 250g of AF grape. This will last me for a while. Anyway here are the pics of my new baby!






I might use this base with the stem though:


What do you guys think?

Why is dearborn the unofficial capital of hookah
and nice hookah u bought
i do think the second base would be sick with it



Dearborn's population includes 30,000 Arab Americans. It has the largest proportion of Arab Americans for a city of its size (about 100,000).[ Lebanese Americans are the most numerous group. In January 2005, a new Arab American National Museum opened to mark the ethnic group's history and contributions to this country. The city is also the location of the Islamic Center of America, the largest mosque in North America

This is why it's the unnoficial capital of hookah in the US. I live near dearborn and they have some AMAZING middle-eastern shops and restaurants, but I haven't been since I started to hookah...Maybe I should go, damn....Srawas gimme a holler and let me know where the good shops you hit are so I can go smile.gif Nice piece btw, I love the extra vase.

Hey great ninja all the good stuff is on Warren Ave. The shop that I got my stuff at is called Royal Smokers I think. It is between the New Yasmeen Bakery and Shatila, there is a little complex of businesses in between those two stores/restaurants and that is where it is located....go soon I got 500g for $17.00 O and when you are there go to the corner of Warren and Chase and there is a restaurant in that complex called Al-Ajami, they have AMAZING food and right across chase there is a haircut salon, go there its relatively cheap and they do a great job ($12 for a cut and wash). Sorry if it sounds like I am spamming my brains out but I just want to share the love of Dearborn. (If I am spamming just edit the post and let me know so I do not do it again Moderators)

I loooooove Shatila!
Thats pretty much where I do all of my hookah supply shopping.
The only thing I havent found in dearborn are KMs.

O yea Shatila is one of my favorite stores, that and Yasmeen, it reminds me of Lebanon however it isn't the same (but it is a close comparison in taste)

well I am gonna have to go to Sd myself and check it out sometime, maybe when I take a trip out to San Fransisco I will make a little road trip to Sd

O and an update...I am gonna have to use some paper towels over my grommet or get a bigger grommet for my Hookah to fit in the brown vase...It fits fine but it does not feel like it is completely airtight, its snug tho.
