*HOT&SMOKING* Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I went to a second hand shop today, and picked up two hookahs (second hand naturally) for a whooping R25 converted to $ it would be roughly $ 2.94 ( using R8.50 to the dollar)...Now the one is a small egyption worth about $ 12 (new) where I am....so I got it at a quarter of the price...Don't forget that I can usually get most my hookahs cheaper here....Then the other one has a brass stem as far as I can see and also a gorgeous base!!Now for this money it was one helluva bargain and I had to pick it up!!The only glitch was that they didn't come with pipes or bowls, and that I have to find a special bowl for the brass one ( you will see in the pics)Here are some pics:http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn244/ostutz/DSC00305.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn244/ostutz/DSC00300.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn244/ostutz/DSC00301.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn244/ostutz/DSC00303.jpghttp://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn244/ostutz/DSC00302.jpgI must say I really like the small egyption for taking when I go somewhere, and the brass is a really beautiful hookah in my eyes.. -H&S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be making 170% profit. Sounds pretty good, eh? Good find, man. Also, good luck finding a bowl. I have no idea what kind of bowl fits into it.

Tikhman Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its just a normal lebanese/syrian style bowl, shouldn't be too hard to find actually. Also, the base on the brass one looks Iranian to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyk Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 nice find man i really like that blue base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 well....I think this proves that Lebanese hookahs are the most beautiful hookahs ever....or mayb im just being biased . Either way both hookahs look beautiful and great bargain. I hope I will be getting a hookah just as beautiful when I go to Lebanon this summer. Anyway PLEASE post smoking pics when you get the bowl for your Lebanese hookah, I wanna see that pretty thing in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It's an Iranian hookah, the guy on the vase is a king who also happened to control the Tobacco industry of the Ottoman Empire at one point, thus his pic on hookah vases everywhere.NICE PIPE(S) at amazing prices!

srawas89 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Damn it ninja....way to take away my beliefs haha. O well I still stick to the fact that Lebanese hookahs are by far the most beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
