Hannibal Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 (edited) So after a week of bitting my fingernails off, my Al Fakher 36" finally came in, and all I have to say is its a beauty. It came free with a hose (which I assume is MYA b/c drunken wizards came with a MYA plastic bag and mine just came in the box), 2 packs of 50g Al Fakher shisha, lots of mouth tips, cool looking cammel tongs, and some finger charcoal. My order did not, however, come with a diffuser like wizard's 28" did, but I guess they gave me the charcoal instead. I also ordered the "jap" charcoal that they had on the site and figured that for $2.50 I'd probably get like 5 sticks.....nope, I got the whole box.Unfortunately when I was watching the tracking of my package I noticed that FedEx put it in their truck at 4:30 am yesterday......and it didn't get delivered to my apartment's office until 4:53 pm that same day.......which ment it was in a metal box that drove in the humid, 98 degree heat here in GA for a few hours.......I hope my shisha is still fresh.Pics:I will put some better quality pictures when I do a full review and will have a lot more covering the details of the hookah. The etched brass on the stem as well as the beautiful trays and base are just top notch. I can't wait to smoke the hell out of it later .EDIT: Oh and I checked the dates on the two 50g packs: October 2006 for the orange, but March 2007 for the Grape!!!!

The clouds are not as thick as what comes out of my 21", but I just got to mess around a bit and I'm sure I can get it to smoke like a champ.QUOTE (billy @ Jun 20 2007, 04:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>It looks like but the thing that bothers me is the long stem, makes it look lanky yea I actually like the 28" slightly better b/c of the vase and it just looks real elegant at that height. I got this one first because I really wanted a big hookah and this one has the best stem I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $100 you can't go wrong with this piece.Unfortunately I have to cut my session short and go to work . I was busy doing some assinments for my summer class so I really didnt get to enjoy my first smoke with it as much as I would have liked to. I'll post a review by sunday once I get to sit down with some friends and have a really nice, long session. The orange AF they sent me is one of the most flavorful shisha I've smoked!!!Edit: I just noticed that the tongs isnt cammel like but dragon.....its pretty badass Edited June 20, 2007 by Hannibal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenWizard Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Very nice, I'm glad you like it. I wish I would have picked up some coals. That's a good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookaheveryday Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had a question about the downstem/diffuser. In your opinion is it long enough to get deep into the vase or is it short but managable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your opinion is it long enough to get deep into the vase or is it short but managable?The downstem on mine is shorter than I'd like it to be......it comes up to about the bottom of the "Al Fakher" logo on the vase......the vase is huge so the space under where the downstem ends is well over 1/2 of the total volume.I think wizard was saying how his also was a bit on the short side. It would be alot better if Al Fakher would make the downstems a little longer.....and also make the second tray more stable, the thing tilts quite a bit. I would take it off, but I actually think it looks better with it on.Edit: HAHAHA i just realized that I had the second tray in the COMPLETELY wrong place. If you noticed on my pics that the second tray is all tilted and sits almost mid stem......well its supposed to sit on vase itself and the stem sits on top so that it is secure and doesn't move a bit. Now it looks 10 times better.I'm an idiot. Truly.For my review i'll have pics with the tray in the proper place.
