Well, As for as brands for hookah's go a lot of people will tell you they like different things. As long as you buy from a reputable online dealer, you should be okay. I know a lot of people would vouch for the build and quality of Mya Hookahs. I own one myself and I love. Others will point you to khalil mamoon hooakahs or just a generally well built egyptian or syrian hookah. As far as tobacco brands go, most people generally like Al Fakher and starbuzz (though many people feel that starbuzz is too overpriced). Oh and if your looking for a good website that'll give you all the bells and whistles with your hookah you should shop at www.hookah-shisha.com. when you buy a hookah they give you a couple of rolls of quicklights, a bowl, all the gaskets you'll need to for your hookah, two 50g packs of romman tobacco, a case, mouthtips, tongs, etc. Hope that helped you out a bit.

+1 for Hookah-Shisha

They have an all around great selection of Hookahs as well as Shisha and Coals.

Sstarbuzz is a great brand (although a little more pricey) and I haven't tried it yet but everyone raves about Fantasia Pink Lemonade.

www.hookah-shisha.com

one of the best retailers out there, like coda said.

if your looking for a hookah that lots of people are gonna be using, i would say the 3 house pharoah is a good choice, get the flip caps because its not auto seal, as far as shisha goes, ur gonna get 2 50g boxes of Romman tobacco from HS, dont get cola or dble apple, those flavors are weak harsh bitter..and just plain crappy

i sggest going to mnhookah for ur shisha and geting pharoah brand sisha kiwi strawberry is always in my line up

make sure to head towards the review and retailer sections of the forum,

IMHO, one hose is all you really need, no matter how many people are around. Something about just passing that thing around gives me a sense of fellowship with everyone. Anyway, Hookah-Shisha does have a lot of great deals on Myas. The deal on the one hose vortex is real good. Their cases work real well (mine came with one) and they throw in some free shisha usually.

Most of the pipes that come with cases are Chinese. Of the Chinese pipes, Mya is definitely the best. But be careful. There are a lot of knock-off Mya pipes that use inferior parts/construction etc.

Only buy from reputable dealers like:

Hookah-Shisha.com

shopping.socialsmoke.com (take a peek at their "large premium" and "Syrian" pipes. All of their Egyptians are MZ.

hookahcompany.com (they have a bunch of nice Egyptians from KM and MZ... check the descriptions)

NazarHookah.com

MNHookah.com

Among Egyptian pipes, there are two main brands: Kahlil Mahmoon and Magdy Zidan. Can't go wrong with either one... only real difference between them really is appearance. MZ has a reputation for better welding though.

Syrian... I have two Syrians... one from Social Smoke (that they no longer carry) and one from another site... the one not from Social Smoke is my main smoker. The stem unscrews into a few pieces which makes it easy to clean/transport. If I am on the go, I just toss it into my backpack. Plenty of room for the pipe, hose, and accessories.

If you want a hookah that comes in a carrying case, your best bet is to go with a mya hookah. Also to see the full collection of their different hookahs with carrying cases go to myasaray.com.

Hookah-Shisha is good and so is MNHookah for MYA's. I personally would go for a single hose hookah with a nice surge valve. I really like the MYA's (the Staff and the Vortex are good ones), and my friend owns a KM Egyptian which i think is the best single hose hookah out there (next to this one my friend illegally brought back from Saudi Arabia). For goos shisha, Hookah-Shisha and MNHookah are again really good. I'd go for some Al Fakher for the flavor and tangiers for the buzz (which mixes well with starbuzz).

good luck
