The reason I’m asking is a friend of mine just returned from Turkey with a gorgeous Narghile and a fair amount of apple molasses tobacco. It’s the most pleasant smoking experience I’ve had and now want one.

I’ve searched around and am finding it hard to find a site where I can buy the pipe / tobacco. Some sites don’t have pictures etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Oh and any recommendations on other tobaccos / means of speeding up my death 😉 would be gratefully accepted.

Please don’t try to turn this into a anti-smoking thread.

One bump before I leave work.

Golly whiz! I used to smoke a Hookah, but none of that fancy-schmancy apple molasses stuff… I smoked good ol’ Maui-Wowie. And we liked it!

I don’t have one, but I’ve got a friend who does, and I have smoked it with him on a few select occasions. Definitely a relaxing experience.

I’ll send him an e-mail (he’s quite fanatical about the whole thing)… he’s sure to have lots of suggestions.

That would be great **Eonwe**. I’ve sent off a few mails to places in Turkey but have not received any reply yet.

Cheers
