wuonice Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) it's a khalil mamoun. i don't think the base or the hose that came with it was, but the shaft is. i took a pic of the top because the engraving says khalil mamoun. oh yes =Dcost my dad about 30 bucks american. he knew the guy so yeah.tell me what you think. i still like my other hookah better though.

Calcartman Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) The hookah bar near me sells very similar ones, for the far overcharged price of 200$; great find.Also, i like the color of your dangly thing. the ones i saw were yellow, but the blue is nicer.

Xeft Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm loving the base on that beast. The pretty blue with what looks like little gems and gold trim...very very awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure that is a KM...it looks real familiar, though, I just can't place him. $30 is a fair retail price...$26-$27 out here wholesale, $30 fair price.Edit: Remove the shank from the jar, flip it upside down and take a picture of the bottom of the shank's bell, from about mid-way up the downstem. I should be able to identify it. Not surprisingly, there are fake KMs out there...especially in Egypt. Edited August 6, 2007 by Sonthert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Tough to say. Usually, KMs have a very apparent flange descending down from the bottom of the bell on what would be the left side of the pictures, sort of "hiding" the holes. Its kind of a KM trademark. The end of the downstem looks KM like...I'm gonna have to go with not a Khalil Mamoon. Looks like it'll smoke well...thats what's important. http://www.hookahcompany.com/hybrid_khalil...h_2209_prd1.htmLook through the top of the jar and you see that long, gold-colored flange that seems to stick down a long way? Thats the characteristic KM flange. http://www.hookahcompany.com/lebanese_ceda...e_1919_prd1.htmCompare to that picture, no KM flange. Now, the end of the downstem looks like a KM. It could be an old (5+ years) KM , but I wouldn't tend to think that, because it doesn't look like there's brass anywhere on that pipe. It could be a "look-like" KM, I've seen a ton of them...they don't need to be bad, just because they are a knock off! It has a large hole for the hose port on the bottom, and large tubes through the pipe, of course. Thats what means it will smoke well. Enjoy it,Eric Edited August 7, 2007 by Sonthert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nestormakhno Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 ROFL, I thought the drum was a vase, too. That would've been a ridiculous vase. Beautiful hookah, knock-off or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
