MechAnt Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ok so, I'm getting a little bored of my trusty full size MYA Acrylic and I really want to get a new pipe. I've narrowed it down to three choices.Khalil MamounMagdy ZidanSyrian (from several different vendors)Looking for 30"+, which all these pretty much are. I have been looking at brass syrians (especially those at SS!) for quite some time but KM's and MZ's have great reputations as awesome pipes. Looking to spend under $80 which easily encompasses all three of these brands. Which one, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Easy. KM bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Any KM that is. I like the Tri-metal on hookahcompany.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayshisha Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 for under $80 you can get the best KM with a kilo of shisha. Thats my recomendation for that amount. NOw if oyu go up to a hundred you can get a fancy looking Syrian from Varius places. KM is the best i've smoked out of but i have really smoked out of a syrian from a reputable vendor.

ahhhdam Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I would say KM also. 2nd on the Tri-Metal. If not a Syrian is a close second to the KM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 hookah-life has a 20% off deal going on, you could easily get a KM, coals and shisha for 80-90 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have a MYA and I love it to death, I just want to expand my collection by adding an awesome traditional pipe. Looks like KM has the edge right now. They are on the cheap and awesome (smoked out of several at lounges, AWESOME. Thought there wasn't even water in it for a while cause the draw was so good!). Just a bit worried that the steel will rust out on me after a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ahhhhh!!!! So many choices! So the KM and Syrian I picked out are similar in price (SS syrian actually cheaper with forum discount!) and, I think, size. The KM might be a little bit taller (doesn't matter tho), but the Syrian is brass which is VERY attractive. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 id go with the marble syrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 My MYA is amazing. Smokes better than anything I have ever smoked out of. It come completely apart for very easy cleaning (mine does anyway. It's the straight shaft style, not the bubbly one). Very heavy stem with a heavy Acrylic base to match. My only complaint is that the metal screw part that is on the base is not sealed airtight so you could see smoke leaking out but a metal-plastic epoxy fixed that in a cinch. Some people complain that the purge valve sticks open but I've never had that problem nor a problem with the purge valve being stuck closed because I clean it religiously. Get it!The MZ, in my mind, is winning out unless the KM or syrians can really change my mind. KM-the steel, whether it's stainless or not, worries me about long term durability. Syrians-The price (I know, just a few bucks but still) and relatively plain looks; the marble worries me a bit cause I've tipped my pipe a few times and I don't want the marble cracking on me, let alone when its the ashtray. The MZ has a cool base, much taller than the others, nice and shiny plating, mush owns one of their older Hookah Brothers pipes and love it, and iirc brass core. I shot an email to HC to see if the MZ really is brass cored and if it is, that's what I'm gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Ok, its been decided. MZ pipe for sure. However, there are two very good looking ones I must choose from.Pharaohs with white base. Very sexyhttp://www.hookahcompany.com/medium_pharoa...h_2513_prd1.htmHoras B with blue base. Also very sexy. A few inches taller but $5 more.http://www.hookahcompany.com/horas_b_stain...h_2516_prd1.htmNow, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we've already decided on the color.Quit being a newb and buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Either one will be a good choice. Just depends now one which one you like better for looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboi Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 MechAnt, i say go for the white base one out of the last two you posted. I was looking at that one at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 How about the best of both worlds? I'll shoot HC an email and ask if they can hybridize it, the larger stem with the white frosted base. And just to make Bryantos happy, I'll get the blue as a spare/something to have a change of pace. The base will cost less than $20 to boot. Yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
