Hookah: Mya Stem with unknown Base.
Bowl: Funnel Bowl
Hose: Mya Saray hose with the long wooden tip.
Tobacco: ½ Starbuzz Black Grape, 1/2 Starbuzz Watermelon mixed. Filled to the top of the funnel with a little extra on the sides.
Foil: Heavy Duty Reynolds
Holes: One medium sized hole in the center, 12 holes around the outer edge.
Tobacco Condition: Very Wet and smelled FANTASTIC (like always)
Coals: Japanese style, three quarters spaced evenly around the bowl.
Smoke: Usually we would wait for the tobacco to warm up before we started puffing, we were all really anxious to see how the bowl smoked so we did not wait and went right to it. I must say only after three or four puffs the bowl was already smoking like a champ! Nice big white clouds. Since we were indoors, the smoke was PERFECT for O blowing contests. Haha
Flavor intensity/longevity: The flavor was AWESOME. Not only did it taste great, it lasted a very long time. The flavor never died down and was great until I took the bowl off. In fact, my friend was still trying to smoke it while I was taking it off. But alas, it was time to go home.
Time: 1 hour 45 minutes, 5 people smoking, 2 pipes
Clean Up: I took the bowl off and there was no gooey mess like there usually would be. There was no molasses driMFing into the tray. When I emptied the bowl into the trash there was still a layer of unused tobacco, which was impressive.
All in all, this bowl was very impressive and well worth the money. Compared to any other bowl I give it a 9.50. The -.5 was because more coal dust got into the stem, which would make for more cleaning BUT it is easier to clean coal dust than molasses so only -.5. Perhaps a little direction on how to set up the holes on the bowl would be a great help. Other then that I have NO complaints.
