Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm buying a hookah off Craigslist for 20 bucks, the guy said it's from Syria, although from the pics I can't tell if it's Syrian or not since the bowl is upside down and the pic is somewhat blurry, although it DOES look a little like a tombeik bowl, and it doesn't even look like it has a purge which I think I've seen on some Syrians. I spoke to the guy and he said the stem is lightweight, so it's def not brass. Either way I've made plans to pick it up Tuesday since I love the boho vase (seen it go for 15 bucks online) and the hose is badass...he also has a leather hose he's throwing in with it. I'd love the help of the masters to ID what I'm buying. 20 bucks essentially covers the vase that I love, 2 hoses, a bowl, and 5 dollars of risk to see if the stem's any good, and before the wise-ass comments start I realize it has no tray - trays are cheap, no big deal....What d'ya think?NAME THAT PIPE!!!!!

TheShishaDoctor Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nice find.... kinda looks Syrian (by looking at the tip of the bowl), but no way to tell for sure. For $20, you can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hmmmmmm, so we have Syrian in one corner, Egyptian in one, and doesn't matter it's 20 bucks in another Keep it coming, feel free to ID the hose if you can as well...also if it helps he said he found it in his closet and hasn't smoked it in 1.5 years or so, so we know it's a little older.

Who gives a fuck if it matches or not, its a badass vase, I'd put it on another hookah anyway...unless you are meaning it does match size wise...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Forgot to mention, worth a giggle, that the only way my wife agreed to let me get the craigslist finds was a promise from me to build shelves to store all my hookahs and supplies by next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thank you sir, your time will come I'll let this thread sit for a bit and check back tomorrow see if I caught any lil knowledge fishies.....Of course if there are no for sure answers I'll post better pics from home after I go to pick the pipe up.

Sonthert Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The jar is Syrian, the shank looks to be Northern Syria/Turkish, its tough to tell. The jar is worth $20. Those are nice jars.Just so we're clear, when you get him home, don't blow Andy.He doesn't look like he has a vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srawas89 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 hahahahaha nice one Sonthert. In any case I would pay $20 for that vase....I wish I could find hookahs like that on craigslist in Cincinnati. Right now all I find is a 6 hose rotator....can anyone say worthless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Worthless. What do I win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 i believe ryno has one similar, i could be wrong, but you may want him to chime in. the vase is syrian, at least syrian inspired, they're nice, the metal part often tells a story or has etchings/engravings in it, that one looks like it has alot of circles, for 20 bucks, who cares!

mansman Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 GNR, you SERIOUSLY have a problem! You do realize that you can only smoke one pipe at a time right? So you're buying this one and another one for $30 from some flower shop? I'm just looking forward to smoking the Al Fakher. How many pipes is that now?

Good to know the vase is of good quality and not just purty. I won't blow Andy, I haven't even met him yet, that's just not my style.QUOTE (ilikemyusername @ May 4 2009, 10:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>i believe ryno has one similar, i could be wrong, but you may want him to chime in. the vase is syrian, at least syrian inspired, they're nice, the metal part often tells a story or has etchings/engravings in it, that one looks like it has alot of circles, for 20 bucks, who cares!It broke Username, but yeah he has it as his avatar.

Not like your collegiate ass is coming over to smoke with me! Oh, wait....tomorrow should be cool, I'll make drinks for you and wifey since I can't drink and as a punishment for being a wiseass you can't blow Andy and that'll make 7 edit - bring the black watermelon, btw I can't find my phone call Holly if you need to contact me, or just send a carrier pigeon.

That base is gorgeous, though so even if its chinese, the base is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tati Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 As a side note...Andy could be a girls name! Nickname for Andrea...right?Id say why not? If it doesnt work well, put it back on craigslist and sell it for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
