Most Expencive Hookah You've Ever Seen?


Recommended Posts

Was cruising around sites and just saw the Sultan, that 7 foot tall monster, worth $600 bucks, never heard of anything like that before. Made me wonder what kind of crazy hookahs the pro's have seen, so please share, whats the wildest/most expencive hookah you've ever seen?

I decided to search for a few museum pieces since they would most likely be considered priceless or close to it. So here are the interesting links I found:

- http://www.spurlock.uiuc.edu/collections/a...act/hookah.html
- http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection...s=&c=&s=
- http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection...s=&c=&s=
No idea how that amber mouthpiece works perhaps the end is a cap that keeps it closed when not in use?
I found this badass pic and whatever that dude is smoking out of looks priceless as well, the mouthpiece alone takes up the whole pic: http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/exhibitio...it/13/?ID=G4260 I so need to get a print made of that pic.

Scroll down to the middle of the page to see the bejewelled "huqqa" http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/exh_gfx_en/ART47193.html they say it was for opium smoking.

Wow searching for huqqa got me some interesting results like this badass base: http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/09/ssa/hod_1984.221.htm

- http://www.vam.ac.uk/images/image/4561-popup.html My favorite so far, how the hell do you smoke it?

- http://www.trocadero.com/AMP/items/738559/...store.html#item

- http://www.britishmuseum.org/images/ps278341_m.jpg I feel like such a peasant when I look at this.

So a google image search for "huqqa" gives alot of interesting results.

really expensive pipes


Holy cow these are awesome! And from the Czech Republic where I live (yay!). But I haven't seen any prices on their website-would love to have one of these around these are real works of art. Of course with a 4 month old baby about to crawl soon that might put a damper on having it in the house-I am worried even now on how to tie down all my electronics and hookah stuff once he starts to explore. My friend's baby does fun things like putting the remote control in the garbage all the time...
