jkw Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hey guys,New member here from London, UK...Been smoking shisha at lounges and restaurants etc since the beginning of the year, and very occasionally, so I guess I'm pretty much a beginner to this wonderful activity.A few of my friends have recently bought hookahs, and the comfort of using them at home is incredible, with drinks, food, YOUR music etc on hand. Nevermind in the park for a really chilled afternoon. Today I finally bought mine, and I'm so happy with it. I believe it's pretty good, and at the price I paid, it definately was a good deal. It'll pay for its self after a few sessions...Anyways, It came in a briefcase, with all the accessories - tobacco, coal, mouthpieces, 2 bowls, tongs, tobacco box, coal holding thing, and little metal bits to use instead of foil. All in all came to £55 (£50 special price just for me , and on pretty good sale). Take a look, and tell me what you think. I think it looks nice, and it's incredibly heavy and feels quality, but you tell me. Will take more pics with better camera, all set up etc. (Oh and before you ask, I left the tray at my friends house. I knew I forgot something ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Pretty nifty hookah, but it doesn't come with a tray? That would kind of annoy me, as every once in a while they tend to accidentally drop off the bowl.Other than that, looks pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbrownindian Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 welcome to the forum, nice hookah set you got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkw Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Was on sale as well lol. Would never have justified spending full price on a first one usually. I was hoping to spend 30, which is the "normal" price, for just the hookah. Then I thought that I would probably need all this stuff anyway, so why pay more when I can get it all at the same time. And in one convenient box, which was one of the main points, as this baby will probably spend more time out of the house than in...As I said, tray is with my friend... Quite annoyed, but I won't need it til tomorrow, and he'll bring it with his anyway.Went into a nice store selling fancy arab decorations - the coffe sets etc. There were some nice hookahs there! I asked what kind of prices and the women says "well we have lots of sizes varying from £40-250" They were all shiney, but still! Also saw a hookah taller than me (5'9"). Now that was impressive...Sorry if I write too much sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
