Dom Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 the hookahs in the pictures are Nours.i spoke with Eric and he showed me some of them and yes, the ones in the pictures are the same ones that Eric gets, and yes, they are Nours. they also make brass hookahs that do not have that brass color. they are silver in color, but still brass. and the disigns on the tray have more detail than the brass colored ones. other variations. very beautiful. personnally, i'm leaning towards the brass colored ones. i think they are just breathtaking. they seem more solid, too. and the purge valve sticks farther out from the shank and i like that. would make it easier to take off if you needed to. those vases, by the way, have fuming on the inside of them. pretty cool, huh? i've never seen a hookah vase with fuming before now. those hoses that say "Nour" in old english are freakin' LONG, yo! like 6 and a half or 7 feet long! nice handle, too. so that's the word on the Nour and how to spot one.

greeknate88 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So, now that we have established the hookahs in the photo are Nours, how do I get one? It sounds like eric has them, but swinging by his place isn't really an option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like eric has them, but swinging by his place isn't really an option for me.the only other vendor besides Eric who carries the Nour is banned.The vendor cannot be discussed on this forum due to the company's name. That's all i can tell you in this forum. i'm sorry.good news, though, with its popularity spreading, more places should carry it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOST KM's look kinda cartoony to me. but the old trimetal and the newer trimetal design are both freakin' AWESOME! i really like the hoses, too. i'd still choose my Nammor over a km hose, though. but on average, i like the way the syrians look. the average syrian beats most egyptians i've seen.
