‘Nuff said:

So I’m at the Eyptian Cafe right now, enjoying a nice mix of Mint and Paradise Island (excellent!) and I just got an email from SouthSmoke.com.  They have a good amount of Al-Fakher in stock right now and are offering 250g jars of the premium flavors for $9.99 and 250g of Al-Fakher Golden for $12.99.  The online prices are usually good, but this deal will save you a couple bucks off that easily.

For the premium I highly recommend AF’s grape and if you’ve never had the gold line before, you simply have to try Eskandarani Apple – it tastes like apple pie and NOT the stuff that most “double apple” flavors taste like!

Halp!  Purdookah.com needs a tag line! In the interest of branding and furthering our image, we need something short and sweet to go with our logo.  In addition to the site, the tag line will also appear on a new line of swag and merchandise we’ve got in the works.  So here’s the dealio:

Post your suggestions as a comment to this post or on our facebook page.  If you give us an idea that we end up using, or even if you post something that leads us to the end result…BAM: Free T-Shirt with our logo and your shiny new tagline.

Ideas are valued things around here and we know you guys are full of them.  Get creative and show us what you’ve got!

A new tax is before Congress to raise tax on ‘pipe tobacco.’  Bill H.R. 4439 would increase taxes 775% on said tobacco.  The price would go from $2.8311 per pound to $24.78 per pound!  This tax increase seems to be a response to some companies that relabled themselves as pipe tobacco to avoid earlier tax raises.  However, the tax increase will affect much more.

Hookah stands a chance to have its prices increased as well.  If the tax was passed, average prices per quantity would be something like: Continue reading →

Just a quick notice about Recycle Mania at Purdue!  From the page of the Facebook Event:

RecycleMania is a 10-week competition among over 500 universities nationwide. Recyclemania runs from January 17 through March 27, 2010. This will be the first time Purdue participates.
The goal of Purdue is to recycle more per capita than any other Big 10 University.

Purdue is getting students involved by having student organizations adopt a week. At the end of the competition the student organizations that adopted the highest recycling week will get a prize! Also, check out what is going on in your residence hall to see how you can help!

We are also handing out coupons to local places as we see student, staff, and faculty recycling.

Purdookah.com supports Recycle Mania

Since we’re not a student group, we can’t sponsor a week of competition, as noted above.  Nevertheless, we support our campus activities and you can bet we’ll be recycling the foil straight off the hookah!

Just a quick announcement that the Egyptian Cafe & Hookah Lounge, on Purdue’s campus is currently accepting canned and other non-perishable food items as relief for those affected by the recent earthquake in Haiti.

If you don’t have anything capable of being donated, here are some other ways to help out.

If more details become available, you can bet they’ll be posted here.  Stay tuned!
