Majid Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 By the way on those hoses, the tip comes off for cleaning, not washable but i guess you can blow out ash or something. I had a yellow and red one but somebody washed it for me and it died It was my baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoapplesplease Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) The mya's are nice pipes but there quality seems to be slipping these days.That $400 elmas pipe is right on par as far as price with the crystal may's and I'm sure in person its far more amzing than any mya.german review of a mid sized elmas nargile www.youtube.com/watch?v=E60miUAwChs a couple guys in Izmar smoking what appers to be elmas nargiles I can't imagine in Izmar they would smoke anything else. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx9Q_-VwcgE You can see the hoses and get a glance at the wind cover I'm positive there smoking elmas nargilesthese guys are kinda funny had to share it.

I've heard It's almost offensive to not haggle for price in turkey.I'd tell him I'd give him $450 if it included an extra hose and an extra bowl and 500g of tobacco and coals with shipping included in that price.I bet that papatya is amazing I love that flower tray.I'd go for a different model myself.

Hassouni Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) Bump for an interesting thread. Turkish nargiles are the jam--On par with what I've smoked in the UAE, Oman, and Bahrain, and those were phenomenal---plus they have the Levantine style male bowls, which I prefer! For the record, every nargile place in Turkey has pipes with hoses like that--Elmas may be a boutique but that style of hose is ubiquitous and can be purchased anywhere in Turkey for cheap Btw, http://www.hediyelerdunyasi.com.tr/urun/dantelli-nargile-14.aspx That one is about $120 or so...
