r1v3th3ad Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 So, when I get back to school I'm selling my noname egyptian and very shortly I'm giving away my syrian to my friend's grandmother...I got a lil ansy. This leaves me with my four foot brass hookah, my antique brass hookah, and my MZ Nefertiti B, so I went ahead and ordered something I've had my eye on since probably Febuary. I noticed that no one else has one. Its going to be my first Khalil Mamoon.I got this stem http://www.thehookah.com/product.php?produ...=354&page=2with this vase http://www.thehookah.com/khalil-mamoon-3-h...ge-31-inch.htmlI'm in love and can't wait for them to get here.I didn't bother with a hose or bowl because I have pleantyalso, coming to my buddy's place, is 7.5 kilos of tangiers and 4 razan hoses, costing me $165 250 apple kilo blueberry 250 green apple candy kilo horchata kilo kashmir peach kilo melon blend 500 orange soda 250 passion fruit 250 sour kilo static starlight 250 white grape 250yellow appleI'll post pics up in here as these orders come in stages...the hookah comes first, then half of the shisha, then the other half another day...hope everything comes before I go back to school next week, but it would be worth the $30 greyhound trip to get this stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamiliarJoe Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 ...that stem looks amazing...why have I never seen that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) how are you getting 7.5 kilos of Tangiers for $165? (and this price is including 4 razan hoses?)because if my math is correct, let's say you're getting your Tangiers for $10/250g...that's $40/Kg x 7.5Kg = $300 Edited August 19, 2009 by Arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 ::damn edit time::soooo...yeah, i'm confused...i'm about to buy around 15 kilos and have put aside nearly a grand for it...if i can get 7.5Kg for less than $150...i may end up getting 50Kg instead...

COrrect me if I am wrong, but my definition of the word is someone who has a degree in a particular field. As opposed to an amateur. Or someone who recieves compensation for their profession as in professional athletes.This is my problem with reviews in general, the reviewer is compensated for his favorable review by the reviewee. I guess thats why there is a website filled with "professional reviewers" who say Hookah-Hookah is a great tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinodos Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 You know I really like KM stems, but their bases always seem unstable to me being so thinly designed and having 30-40" stems on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Still suspicious. I don't cut deals like that. Ever. At $20/Kg...thats like lower than any price I've ever sold it at. Wholesale or otherwise. I've never given any substantial amount to a reviewer, I've never sold any like that, to my recollection at a discount that deep. I'm more worried that somebody's burning the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
