Thanks Thrillist! The HoboNargile works on any bottle and can go anywhere you go. Big shout out to Spook Nukem, Sara B for hooking us up with Kevin and Joe at Thrillist in NY and DC.
Check out the HoboNargile here.
So, its not really news now, but the HoboNargile is moving off of the shelves at HoboNargile.com. But whats more, is that its also available in Brazil, for the Brazil Hobos. Check out HoboHookah.com.br to get a great price and save on shipping.
Also, a heads up for you Austin, TX heroes, we will be represented at South by Southwest starting this Thursday. Follow us on our Twitter feed to get the updates of where we are at and where you can try for yourself the wonderful, portable HoboNargile.
Finally, a brief apology to the international Hobo Heroes still waiting on their hookah: They shipped last week, with a lot of hand wringing, but they should be arriving globally sometime this week. People in the UK: I know your hookahs have cleared customs as of today! Note for other international orders: Everything is sorted out with international shipping. Shipments leave the US every Friday and take 5-10 business days. Write that down.
And we do have a video this week: Starbuzz Pumpkin Pie shisha review. Check it out.
Quick follow up: The HoboNargiles ARE for sale now at HoboNargile.com (or HoboHookah.com, on the right in the HoboHookah section). Now you can get the HoboNargile shipped with all of your favorite hookah gear.
For the international pre-orders: Hookahs are out the door. Sorry for the delay, it was a pain getting them out the door, but all worth it to hear about the smiles on your faces.
New videos coming up this week. We will be back on track going into March.
What’s better than rocking a HoboHookah in California? Rocking a HoboHookah in California AND Peru. I can’t quite explain how awesome it is when you guys send in pics of your HoboHookah adventures, and we just received some awesome ones from Ian and Naomi.
Here’s what Ian sent in:
The one with me in the white t shirt is at Point Lobos State Park, CA, near Carmel and Monterey. The one with the four of us drinking wine is at Crystal Basin Winery near Placerville, Ca; if you can ship wine to wherever you guys are I highly recommend joining their wine club, their wines are all fantastic.
The one on the beach is Lahaina Beach, Oahu, Hawaii. The one with me in the Red Sox hat is in Aguas Calientes, Peru, near Machu Picchu. I wish I’d gotten a picture of the seven year old Peruvian kid who came up and I guess tried to ask me what the hell my Hobohookah was (my Spanish is pretty awful). And the last one is my wife Noami at Yosemite National Park in CA.

Here’s another great note he recently sent over:
The Nalgene is our camping hookah. Right now the Hobo is sitting on a 1.5L Jagermeister bottle that we finished on New Year’s. We EARNED that bitch.
(If you didn’t score your HoboNargile yet, you can still nab the pre-order special here. Pre-order ends Friday at 5pm EST–as I type this, that’s 48.5 hours away. They ship to HoboHeroes everywhere next week.)
Thanks Ian and Naomi, you’re keeping the Dream alive!
So, we thought we’d get the HoboNargiles out to you guys this week, but the good people over at LAX Customs had other plans. While your Hobo is getting X-Ray’d, take some time off to reflect on how awesome it will be when it finally arrives at your door.
Last week, I went to San Diego to check out the hookah scene and get things ready for the big product launch. While there, I hung out with the founder of Tangiers Tobacco, Eric. He packed me a big time bowl of Tangier’s Lemon-Lime hookah tobacco. If you are ever in the area, its a good idea to check out his shop and ask him how he does it. Smoking from one of his bowls, definitely brings the full potential of his tobacco to life.
I also checked out the home of one of our favorite hookah tobaccos, Fumari. This is a great hookah bar, reminding me of the old and long since passed, Casbah in Madison, WI. Aside from the actual heads they pack there, its was nice to have the flavors delivered to the table for a quick smell test before deciding on which shisha to go to.
Finally, we did go to the SD hookah Mecca, the Hookah Company warehouse in Encinitas. Seriously like a kid in a candy store. Imagine everything on their site in front of you. Amazing.
And thats the SD update. Sorry for missing the video last week, it was tough getting things up with the plane for warmer weather waiting. Here is the belated video, a shisha review of Nakhla Mizo Guava. Enjoy.
