if it is not wrapped in plastic wrap in brick form from the Middle East it ain't worth jack

False.

The place to get shisha locally is this tobacco store near the intersection of 22nd street and Colley near ODU. I can't remember what the store is called but they have this brand called "Sinbad", which is best I've tried so far. I haven't been able to find that brand in any other tobacco store. I'm about to try the Starbuzz stuff that everybody is mentioning.

LOL so you're Arab now?

No, the multiple shisha bar owners I spoke to in dearborn were. My brother-in-law opened one recently, so while I was in MI during break, I went around researching for him a bit.

In the middle east (where all the Arabs live ) they all smoke Al Fakher; not Starbuzz because that's American and marketed for Americans.

I was just trying to give the OP some authenticness

I think starbuzz is a strength not a brand.

Mnhookah.com or Social Smoke.com


Mnhookah is alot better in my opinion, Tarik the owner is also a great guy.



Starbuzz, is overpriced shit. Their tobacco 2 years ago was 10x better than what it is today. Their quality is complete crap now. No where close to being worth $20.

Here is my recommendation from a long time hookah smoker/ almost opened lounge owner.

Layalina. It has a decent to low buzz and great flavors. I have never had a bad batch from them unlike Starbuzz. It is quiet cheap as well. Now, if you truly like to smoke and like a strong buzz. Buy Tangiers, it is a learning curve to pack the bowl properly but once you start smoking Tangiers you will not want anything else. Layalina can be had at both online stores for $9 for 250grams. Tangiers is at MNhookah, for $11 for 250grams.

Tangiers and Layalina are the only 2 companies I smoke. Whatever you do, stay away from Nakhla. Other brands which I dislike are: Starbuzz (as mentioned before) Al Fakher, Al Waha(decent), Al Amir, Fusion(just like Starbuzz), Tonic(is decent, but just like Starbuzz), Fumari.

If you buy tobacco locally in 757. Lazy Dayz has ok prices. Their tangiers is double what it is online, but their Starbuzz is the same price.


Come to hookahforum.com if you want to learn as much as possible about each brand. We have a section for shisha/tobacco reviews for each brand. Just don't bring up any drug use or they will ban you. Not saying thats what you are doing but just forewarning.

I think I've got a couple things of Starbuzz Orange sitting around that you can have for half price.

Well then you should be the first to know that al Fakher's best tobacco is not really sold in the states, or its pretty hard to find the good stuff. Mostly commercial crap, only their double apple is worth a shit.
