Ma'at Or Revamped Nefertiti?

[gaia.plateau]

Hey gents and ladyfolk. I'm entirely on the fence. I want to get a new pipe to bring to Costa Rica with me (for a year) to join my MZ Perpetual River and probably my Bambino, and it's down to these two.

Khalil Mamoon Ma'at

Now... I like my MZ Perpetual River a lot more than my KM Tri-Metal. Smokes better, looks better, more stable in every way. But I'm already taking the MZ with me.

I'd actually probably go with this pipe, but as John is on Vacay until the 14th, I leave on the 30th, and it usually takes at least 3 weeks to receive packages here, it just wouldn't work.



Thoughts? Alternatives? Edited July 5, 2009 by gaia.plateau

I don't think you can loose with any of them. I think I would got with the MZ.

The Ma'at looks like a hafa with the cheapo tray. The pipe itslef is rock solid. If it is a Hafa it has all brass working bits (including down tube) so the thing is indestructible.

I dunno man, tough call. I personally like the looks of the MZ more, but if you are already bringing a MZ, might be good to take along a KM. I have only smoked from a KM, obelisk, and a leila, so I couldn't tell you how the the MZ would smoke, you would probably have a better idea on that than I would. Sounds like a fun time though!!

But out of those two options I would choose the MZ

IV: I'm pretty sure it's all steel, unfortunately.

Joy: That pipe is excellent, I would definitely pick one up but HookahCompany doesn't ship so much as a styrofoam peanut to Canada. I guess I could always try getting it shipped to me in Costa Rica.

Edit: Jesus, apparently GotHookahs no longer ships to Canada either? Are we being blamed for swine flu or something? I got my Perpetual River from them! Edited July 5, 2009 by gaia.plateau

is hookah-shisha then your only option? they carry kms now, not sure if they have any in stock still

I think that MZ is awesome, but if they dont ship to Canada then tis teh suxors

You will be spending 1 year in Costa Rica, I recommend you get yourself the hookah shipped directly to CR. You will have a bigger selection since you will not be limited by only certain vendors

MNH ships to Canada... H-S hasn't had an interesting hookah since their Syrian stock ran dry last year... and there are a few others that ship to Canada. GotHookahs, HookahJohn and HookahCompany are the only vendors that have pipes I'm interested in though.

The problem with shipping to Costa Rica is the $80 shipping fee.
