Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Found a pipe at a garage sale through Craigslist yesterday on my birthday. I bought a bunch of CDs so he gave me the pipe for 6 bucks instead of 8 lol. Pretty sure it's syrian because of the hose and purge designs which are just like the syrian I already have. Very small and thin :/ Said he got it back in college from a friend who brought it back from Pakistan I believe.Nothing amazingly special but for 6 bucks why the hell not? Came with a cool lil conservation bowl and a mod hose that I gave away because it matches a friend's pipe. It is badly tarnished in spots but I think I'll be able to shine it up.Thoughts? Info?

srawas89 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Nice Find! I think the main reason Gnr finds such great deals is that around where he lives there are a ton of Arabs and many dont pay much for their hookahs cuz they normally buy them overseas when they visit family. (thats what I plan on doing when I visit my family). Anyway thats my thinking and besides...if somebody has to get rid of it or doesnt care much for it they wont list the price high.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 The area I'm in doesn't have a huge arabic population but the greater detroit area does so I think smoking is more prevalent here than it might be in some areas. I think it's that paired with so many college aged kids in my general area that latched onto hookah as a trend 5 years or so ago.I have bought 3 CL hookahs from people of middle eastern descent though and just this one was from a guy of European ancestry.I dunno, but I count myself lucky that others don't get em first.So does it look syrian to you guys? or what? It feels like some chinese pipes I've checked out but the craftsmanship and the purge/hose port make me think otherwise.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I call them "Northern Syria" pipes, but I don't know what part of Syria they come from. They more closely resemble Turkish pipes. Its made of uncoated steel (if its like the one I have ) and it will rust. I had some Jordanian friends who brought a similar one back from Amman that was 1.2m (~4ft) tall. They paid $8 for it...so $6 is a fair (?) price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
