JDHarding Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've been looking at John's Temsah's, but it's a little too early for me to get another pipe. I just got a KM Exotica last week, but I'd like to pick one of these up in a month or two. So does anyone have good comments on them? Are they pure solid brass like John says they are?I'd like to get this one 'cause it's the biggest he currently carries:http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...p;categoryId=21Looks smexy.. could make a good little brother to my big KMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Do I own one? No. But I would own a Temsah before a KM at the moment after smoking from my friend's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 its ok...i dunno. i have the wheat and the pull seems different than my KM...its not a bad pull...just different.even though my pipe is airtight, when you're pulling...it seems like you have a giant leak somewhere...hard to explain, but i wouldn't get another one unless the aesthetics and price were on point.

Usually putting your hand on one end, and sucking on the other works. Also plugging the hose port or valve port and sucking on those will tell the tale too.

I think a bare brass pipe would be a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yup. It's nickel plated brass, unscrews in the middle of the stem (like a Mya). Solid as hell. I would highly suggest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih303 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think they're great pipes. Solid, solid construction and classic look. We serve them at the lounge, but it's definately on my list of hookahs to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 I should probably grab one before Temsah starts sending John cheap import versions. One day he'll be like.. hey, these aren't as heavy as the previous ones.. son of a bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer welcome Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 actually it's the opposite, the new ones are cleaner and have that copper downstem, plus costs went up to the importer. forgive me if this is an ad in the wrong section but to be clear, the last version which is under $100 doesn't have the copper downstem, or as nice of a hose, the +$100 ones are the new ones and have the betetr hose and copper downstem. just to be totally clear. also, I see this product as being the only comparable pipe to KM today. Not saying either is better, the market will determine that, well actually you guys will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
