Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 WELLL, I made a thread about how excited I was that my wife was letting me get my Nour dream pipe to encourage me to lose some more weight.Details here http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=29280I went today to buy that sucka up and was SORELY dissapointed to see it gone. I almost cried. However I decided to look around just to see what else there may be that would interest me. My eyes looked past the blase nours they still had (none were pretty as my baby) and settled on the AF hookahs that I had taken a gander at last time I wsa in. The guy had said 100 bucks would get me a large solid AF hookah, so I asked again, casually mentioning that a friend (Chinamon) had purchased an AF pipe online a week or so ago and he scoffed laughing about how they probably paid 150 for it.(the pipe in question) http://www.alfakheronline.com/AF_Large_Solid_Hookah.htmSo he told me that in order to tell my friend "HA! Look how cheap I was given this pipe for at Al-Amir!" he would let it go for 85. The pipe retails online for 125. SCORE!!!!At that point with the price taken into account and as the shaft is very similarly shaped to the nour I so badly wanted I had to bite. I bought a hose to go with it that he normally sells for 25 for 15, it's sooo pretty, It's syrian, draws JUST like my KM Ultimate, I think the cover is synthetic leather, and the handle is a thing of beauty, it's 18 inches of glorious carved wood, haven't personally seen one like it online.I also got a regular old heavy as hell brown egyptian bowl (the ones that come with KMs) to replace my crappy thin small ones that came with my pipes for when i smoke nak in shorter sessions.And a kilo of these coconut coals for 8 bucks called "Krypton" made in Indonesia. I figured for 8 bucks a kilo may as well try em out and see if they're any good.At any rate, I still have to lose the weight in order to smoke the pipe but what better motivation could I have?I FINALLY got a digital camera but as my current PC is old as hell and runs ME, I have to wait till I get a memory card reader to upload pics.Man this place is killing me, in less than a year I went from having a single 250g of SB and a old rotator to also having a Mya, 2 KMs, and an AF, along with about 7-8 kilos of tobacco and many other bowls and supplies. Thanks I guess? Yeah, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from 1 no name blue 17" Chinese and a tub of AF Strawberry to 3 Mya's, 2 KM's, solid brass Egyptian, and a handful of other ones not worth mentioning.Congrats on the deal though!

Mndgame Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Sounds like an awesome hookah, and a pretty decent price also.I smoked with the "the New Al Fakher Coconut Coal" that comes with that AF hookah linked and they were pretty solid. Lasted long, but took a little long to get heated up. Lets see some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Would I ever buy a mediocre one? Silly silly hippo. No, I would...first pipe was a rotator which served me well, but was ummm kinda mediocre in comparison.I swear pics are coming asap, I'm ordering from newegg today.

BigSexyPanda Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Where or who did you get the hookah from? Did you talk to someone from alfakheronline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 No Panda I bought it locally. Shop owner gave me a very good deal.Pics to come soon, I ordered a SDHC card and a card reader with free shipping so it came to 25 bucks no shipping cost.Soon as they get to me I'll get pics up people! However I'm assuming since it's the 3-7 day shipping and will be shipped tomorrow it wont get to me till Monday/Tuesday.I'll start a new thread.

Hookahinthewomb Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I know for a fact that the first gen AF hookahs were made by Nour and I have heard many people say the second gen were made by Nour as well. The first gen AF's are just camilla stems in dual tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm just wondering how you know for a fact, can I see pictures or something? I'm not upset at all or doubting you, I'd love to know what my pipe is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookahinthewomb Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Here watch this video to see a comparison of the first gen af to a nour and you will see that they are the exact same stem only the af is dual tone.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ARk-vU0L8im not sure about the second gen but i have heard many times that it was made by nour.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 thanks a bunch!well that's that, at least the first gen AF hookahs are DEFINATELY nours. I dont think after that comparison anyone could disagree.The second gen I have has VERY similar patterns of etching and bulbs etc etc, and I'm inclined to think it is also made by Nour although obviously have nothing other than the vid to compare it to.Seriously thanks for the information bro!I'm happier with the appearance of the AF hookah than I would have been with the Nour, it's so beautiful, the major attraction point of the Nour was the combo of the stem with a genie base, so I'll just look out for a genie and throw it on the AF stem.
