annual Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 http://www.hookahcompany.com/black_sea_tre...h_3808_prd1.htmSee what you guys think. Looks kinda like a cheap knock of KM, but could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuburbanSmoker Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 If i remember correctly people were saying that they are made with as similar quality to the last batch of kms and came in there new container a couple weeks ago. i could be wrong, but thats what i remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWlax00 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I really like the looks of that.and it has a KM hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 i remember hearing tahmesh + crap, but i could be wrong, check out the thread titled:http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=29421 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Well, the KM of the same style that's 36" is $119. The Thamseh is $20 less and only 28"...who's a math wizard around here? They are a lot rougher, sharp burrs, etc... I would stick with the KM for that price differential. George had mentioned selling them around $60 or so...for that price, it would be a deal.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Eric after the last long essay on the horrible quality of Thamesh pipes you gave that's putting it mildly lol Not bad looking though. I like it's looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 OK this isnt even really worth the post, so sorry for it, but does anyone else think that it looks like MZ and KM did the nasty and this is what popped out? The heart and the ribs on the stem remind me of MZs and the overall design and tray/tray holder remind me of KMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 That vase is dead sexy. I might have to see if I could get a KM tri-metal stem with that base. I have no idea of the quality of Thamesh pipes from experience but, based on what has been said here, I don't think they'll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Supposedly Thamseh makes stuff for KM (who actually doesn't make anything, they just contract their work out). Some of the shanks have a most pleasant brushed stainless finish to the downstems and Goerge is working to clean the shanks before sending them out. There's one shank thats particularly fascinating and lovely, with engraved grain on the shanks and I gave one to mdl and he said it smoked really, really well. Better than a KM, for about the same price? I'll have to ask him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I posted a review of the seemingly best hookah from Thamseh:Thamseh Wheat Hookah Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speel Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Nice review eric, The hookah its self, eh a little on the expensive side .. 100$ for something thats clearly in the 60 70 range, but none the less it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Note that my review is for a different Thamseh hookah, though. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. mdl said his smoked well, too, and its the same shank as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 In a fashion, they buy the shanks from some manufacturers, jars from others, hoses from others and then they sell them individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
