Commentary on hookahs, smoke rings, and The Dream

…HoboNargile discount less than two weeks left.

HoboHeros: We have an approximate ship date for the HoboNargiles: They should go out by the beginning of the first week of February.  So that’s great news for all of you who have already locked in the discount, but it means that time is ticking for those who haven’t throw down.  Check out HoboNargile.com for more details on the offer.

Also, in the news, I will be doing some traveling in the next couple of months.  We always like to meet up with current and future HoboHeros when we are on the road.  Here are the date:

San Diego – Feb 3rd – 5th: Will be there meeting with other hookah luminaries.

Austin, TX – March 11th – 16th: Mike, Dave and I will be there for SXSW.

So, if you are in either one of those spots, drop us an email: hero@hobohookah.com.

We do have another Hobocans Happy Hour on tap, in this review we tackle Starbuzz Blue Mist hookah tobacco.

…The Travel Hookah is Back on the Block.

A little late on the old blog entry this week, but that’s because we have officially launched the HoboNargile Pre-Order! (applause)

As we speak, a boat load of hookahs are heading for the West Coast and if you want to get yours as soon as possible, and at a cheeky little discount, you’ve got to order yours before they arrive.  It could be next week, could be early February, regardless, the time to order is ticking away.

We’ve gotten some great feedback from our last sale, in December, and everything went off without a hitch.  Here’s one comment that speaks the truth:

“yea the new hobo is awesome.  the new hose is great, awesome hookah too, the double hose makes double the party right?   thanks man” – Dan S.

Double the party indeed.  Anyways, we are excited to get these out there.  We’ve loved every minute with our hookah, and I think you guys will too.

We have another Hobocans Happy Hour happening over at the vidblog, check out our review of the (disappointing) classic raspberry by Tangiers.

…cause its never off the table.

This is the view of our office-living room from the crasher’s couch.  Its a beautiful site on most Saturdays and a wicked reminder on Monday.

We don’t have much news to report this week, just working to get the HoboNargile to our shores.  Keep watching the email list for pre-order details.  We’ll have delivery date and a sweet deal ready to rock by the end of the week, so if you missed out in 2009, this is your next shot.  We have a lot more to move, but honestly, I don’t know how long they will last.

We have another Hobocans Happy Hour happening, where we review Tangiers Chocolate Cherry.  If you are still in the holiday mood, it will do for Christmas what Starbuzz Pumpkin Pie did for Thanksgiving.

…The HoboNargile landed in a few laps last year.

The last two weeks have been crazy.  If you’ve seen the video, you’ll know a bit of what we are talking about.  But its a new year now, time to get fucking serious. We’re going to have thousands of HoboNargiles coming into the US the January, to make sure you guys can get yours.

But, before that day, I’d like to pay tribute to those who took up the call a few Fridays ago and voted Yes for the HoboNargile.  Evan K, his hookah on an awesome Absolut 100 bottle to the left, was one such dude.  Tim from Boston, the big man over at Hookahpro.com, was another such individual (his whole break down is here).

The coolest thing, though, was getting orders from all across the US and the world.  We shipped hookahs as far away as New Zealand, as close as Brooklyn, as south as McMurdo Station in Antarctica, and as crazy as Afghanistan.  The HoboNargile goes everywhere, and the Hobo Heros who keep us in business, know that all too well.

If you didn’t make the early launch pre-order, you missed a doozey of a deal, but we will have another offer shortly, not quite as awesome but just as sweet.  So keep your eyes peeled, and make sure to join the email list to make sure that you get hooked up this time (http://hobohookah.com).

And, we have a hold over episode at the Hobocans Happy Hour, where he discuss hookah for the holidays and give a review for Al Fakher Honey and Vanilla shisha, mixed.  Enjoy!

…Born and Raised in the Dreams of You.

Honestly, this is a special Dream for us here at Hobocans.  We sold out of our pre-orders so fast, and to those who ordered: We delivered so big.  It makes me cry.

This is a special hookah.  All we wanted was to bring a hookah that you, neigh, we could share: And it works.  We really care about you and through this love, we can better make the dream happen for every HoboHero.

All I can listen to is old school rock: Maybe its because I yearn for a simpler time, or perhaps its a time for nostalgia.  But in the end, I know, we all need to make closer personal connections, and I want that to happen with this hookah.

But the ultimate success of that Dream, and the Dreams shared by Us, is that we keep on sharing and making things happen.  Keep on sharing the HoboNargile and HoboHookah.  Its the path to the Dream, and I really believe that as long as we keep on doing our thing we will make you proud.  That and a rocking bowl of shisha, is what we ask.

Those elect, pass the word on.  We love you and we will do what it takes to make sure the Dream comes True. Watch the true story of the HoboNargile, its your heritage:

Plus, there is another flavor review (Hint: Al Fakher up at Hobocans,com).
