Anybody ever use a hookah? Did it deliver a happy ending?
I'm pretty big into hookahs. My good friend's dad works in Saudi for a great big oil company, so whenever they go over there to visit they come back with tons of shisha. I've been smoking hookah longer than cigars. Put on a couple local hookah events (like 300+ people -- I got sponsors and everybody got to smoke for free and win hookahs and shit) and worked at a hookah lounge for a little bit.
Needless to say, I think hookah is great. It's really fun when you're hanging out with multiple people. If you ever have any hookah questions, let me know! I think there's a hookah thread or two in the Pipes forum.

As for today's smoke, I'm actually getting ready to light up a bowl of chocolate mint (like those after eight mints) shisha.

I had a Padron 40th Anni in Nat Wrapper. A superb cigar, and every flavor I have come to love from a Padron. Not many flavors extremely different or discernable from the regular 26 line...but this one was alot SMOOTHER.

I sometimes lament smoking cigars like this because of what I call a Catch 22 situation. If I love the cigar then I have now found a cigar that I love, but is out of my price range for even a "monthly" smoke. If I hate the cigar then I am pissed off I spent so much money on it. Any other brothers feel this way????

Yes, Jason, but sometimes you have to splurge for those great treats. . .:smokingbo Spending money on a bad smoke sucks, especially when it is expensive. I once had a box of aged Clasicos that had ~15 sticks plugged. They became VR Petite Coronas. . .:angerhead

How was that MAC Tyler. My boss has given me several, but i always just regift them to someone else.


I know exactly what you mean Jason. I treasure my Pam 64's and other really good sticks. I don't want to smoke it and not have it any more, but on the flip, I hate not to enjoy such a good cigar. I'm trying to rememer what smoke it was, I had saved a cigar for over a year and found a reson to smoke it and it sucked. I was tottally bummed. I had been looking forward to that smoke for a while.

Ya know Dave, the 64's are a daily smoke for me...at 8-10 dollars a pop I don't mind smoking them and routinely enjoy the heck out of em. But at 25 dollars a cigar for these 40th anni cigars...that's in that Catch 22 scenario for me.

I wish I could smoke them as a daily, but it's not in the cards at this time. I'll tell you this I have 1 80th the Bill gave me a while back off my wish list, Not sure when I'll smoke that one. Because 1 thing for sure, I will not be buying a $30 cigar

They are good, Jason. That price tag is exactly why I gave up on NCs. . .

Normally i wouldn't smoke a or buy a $20+ smoke, but I did have a $20 Por Laragana Aisian Pacific release at the last SoCal herf that was absolutley something I could get used to. Price tag not so much.

Had a nice little Trinidad my brother gave my at Xmas. I was not that impressed, it was a decent stick but not a WOW.
