kajon Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hey guys I was looking into getting a Nour but I want to make sure that is what I am getting. Some sites have the Syrians labeled as Nour's but other have the same hookah as just Syrians. Just because it is a Syrian doesn't mean it is a Nour so how can I be sure what I am getting. Also I have seen some reviews on the Nour and wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Nour is just a brand name, it's a Syrian company. I haven't smoked one, but people say they're awesome, very solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can vary greatly in quality depending on who is producing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Though the older Nour Syrian pipes are better than the newer ones quality wise, the new batch John has are still very good pipes. Heavy and solid. My new one smokes just as good as my old Nour Syrian does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoWz Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Mitch is king when it comes to discussing Nours. I will post more about quality when I get mine in mid August. But there has been much talk about the lack of availability of Nours and their actual quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] the stem is loose from the inner tube which allows water to build up inside the stem...the gap between the hose port and the heart is ginourmous.... there's a few more issues, but they escape me at the moment...i had set it up once, but decided against using it since i was afraid it'd break....
