LilTank13 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I was at the local hookah bar with my best friend and our girlfriends, and we were looking for something a little different. I am pretty new to the whole hookah experience, so sorry if this sounds like old news, but Cherry and Cola mixed from Nahkla is pretty damn good. There was little buzz, BIG clouds, and very nice flavor length. As stated, there were four of us and it lasted for 1 hr 45 mins and could have gone another hour. Our local hookah is stingy with coals however, so the sessions tend to be short, which is why I bought my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i hate when places are stingy with coals. its stupid. how much does an extra 2 coals cost them? 10 cents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 16 cents actually. I have never had anyone be stingy on coals, but I have had lounges take forever and a day to bring them to you. And when they do arrive, its just been lit and they put it on top of the bowl like you can smoke while its still igniting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The one palce i went to was like that...They would come out and ask if you'd like a new coal, then just plop in on top. They didn't even give you a way to move it in case is started torching the shisha or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 a local place only lets you ahve 3 coals per hookah.(quicklights at that) and an extra coal is 10c. pissed me off. i havent been back. exactly sheetz. i mean its not like im going to abuse them and take 15 coals. so why not just include the price of coal in the cost of the shishas? bastards. wheres this place hypothetically gonna be sheetz? will you ahve mint tea?

Erica Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't think they mind giving coals, it's the space issues. Like people milking a hookah... four people with one hookah for an hour and fotryfive minutes in a really long time... So giving a limited amount of coals prevents more then just not wasting money on coals, it provided a steady flow of new people to spend money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i suppose but when you only allow 3 33m 3kings on decent sized bowls where you need 2 going at once? thats like giving you a 45 minute session. and did i mention i was also paying 12 bucks for fricken nakhla. they had better be throwin coals at me.

NorthEastSmoker Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 eh.. just reinforces the reasons I only smoke with friends at one of our houses, or camping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilTank13 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Exactly, we went at like 8, were the only people in the place, and paid 12.50 for the hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah, Fumari started the get them in, get them to lay out the cash and get new butts to replace the old ones. They have become the successful pattern that many hookah lounges have emulated....it annoys many people, not only because it goes against the tradition of the hookah lounge, but it also precasts people into a "schedule" of smoking that many people don't want or can't fit into. Japanese coals, .17 for 2, wholesale...most expensive coals on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 12.50? i was bitching when the price went up from 5 dollars to 6 at the hookah bar i go to.lol. sure the guys take a little longer than they should to bring you coal, but as long as your respectful, and have money, they bring you a few nicely lit hot coals.oh, AND tongs.lol.awesome food too.

EvansLight Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 yea its a mofo in some. its $10 at mine but its worth it there. The food is awesome as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilTank13 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 I agree with it going against tradition and the schedule. The place does have awesome food and cheesecake. I just find it annoying that we are rushed when we go, seeing as we drop $40-45 a weekend and tip very well... They are starting to know us and not be so bad, but the service got old for a while.

Johnny_D Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think your all bloody cheap! Try paying for UK shisha bars, then you will truly know the pain of having your wallet spanked. JD - Now with added Lotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 how much are yours running these days johnnyd? 10-12 quid a pop? surely not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Um... The last one i went to was £20. For a bowl & unlimited coalage. Coffee was....£3 a shot. So it was fairly pricy. Especially as I was on my own and was looking to kill a few hours between meetings. But ouchtown! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
