mxtaylor Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey all, I'm looking at buying a bigger Hookah. I've been reading reviews and still stuck at what to do. So far I'm debating between a few models: H-S Egyptian Pharoah: http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-3872-pharaoh-nammor-hookah-package.html I like this one cause it comes with the Nammor hose (have one for my little Mya and love it) plus I can buy an adapter to add a second hose. I can get the free hookah and sell it to my buddy and make back some $$ that way. But everyone always says to go with KM. I've read reviews comparing the two and the KM is supposed to draw smoother. I've been looking at the Pharonie or this model: http://hookahjohn.com/product.sc?productId=370&categoryId=8 What do you guys think? Anyone have a Pharoah and love it?

mxtaylor Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Doh, can't find the edit button on this forum. I'm currently smoking a Mya Bambino with great results. Just want something bigger to show off, y'know? Hoping to spend $100 or thereabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 For the cost, I'd get a KM. I've smoked out of a few of those H-S type Egyptians and wasn't too impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nars2k Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Honestly you cant go wrong investing in a KM, you can find them for under $100 and you wont have to worry about quality, durability, or how well it smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 There's a 25% on Hookah Company for Thamsehs...all you have to do is write your House Rep. and tell them you are opposed to HR4439, the raising of Hookah Tobacco taxes. All the 32" ones would be around $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Not sure why they are getting called 'Thamseh', the correct way of writing it is "Temsah", which means Crocodile. Anyway, back on topic. KMs are great investments because they will last a while, and it's something you can truly be proud of owning. Other Egyptians smoke great, no doubt, but why not pay a few extra bucks and stick with something that has been around for a while and has made a great name for itself? Either way, your call!

Hippo_Master Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The H-S Brand hookahs are the biggest pieces of shit ever. Screw on hose ports, extremely thin gauge, disgustingly weak metal and surprisingly shoddy manufacturing. NEVER BUY A H-S EGYPTIAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxtaylor Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 This looks about the same as the KM I had posted up earlier... http://www.hookahcompany.com/black_wheat_arabesh_temsaah_4462_prd1.htm?pSearchQueryId=20088 Not bad after 25% off. Anyone have an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxtaylor Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 That Black Wheat wasn't on the sale- oh well. Ended up ordering a 40" Temsaah Caramana and a phunnel. Shipped came out to be right at $100 and they threw in a free 250g of Fusion. Can't beat that deal! Oh well, more credit card debt FML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
