Chreees Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 HJ has 'em! I've only ever heard about how awesome they are, and never really have seen them since I started smoking hookah in Aug 2009. They really look nice, much better I think than the new Nours. They seem on par with the old Nours. My favorite one is the 27G. It looks just like my favorite style of Nour. I am oh so tempted to pick up the 27G, but funds just won't allow it right now. Perhaps in the very near future. I'd like to hear some feedback from others first anyway. How does everyone else feel about these? I love 'em, and glad John was able to find them. http://hookahjohn.com/Quality-SYRIAN-Hookahs_c22.htm Also, for those that don't know, John has announced he'll be bringing out his own Syrian/Lebanese hookah line probably next year, along with his own shisha line. Finally, the stagnant hookah market sees something new and refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 ehhhh...everyone seemed to ignore my questions regarding the quality.... i'm skeptical at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah, I'm definitely wanting to hear feedback from people who are the first to buy. John was getting nice cloudage it seemed, but then again it seemed like he had a lot of coal on... And he was outside, so the wind... It just looks so restrictive. But they are sexy as hell.

dizzbizz Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 A local shop sells these exact same hookahs. I always assumed they were Nours. My girlfriend bought one and I like it. I'd say it smokes just as good as my Mya Paragon, we've gotten some great sessions with it. However, the stem is light and the down stem is really short.

Chreees Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Wonder how a shop in AZ has them if they're so rare... Maybe they're not that rare? Or maybe they're like the new Nours... Not as good as the old Nours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The only person I know that has an Al Narwas is Scoop, but he is gone from the forum. If I remember correctly it was one of his favorite hookahs, but his was years old. I'm sure they're great hookahs, but a little expensive for me right now.

twoapplesplease Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have an older narwas....good pipe...downstems are a bit short....mines a much older version all brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Syrian and Leb araagil always have much shorter downstems than Egyptian or Turkish ones....Keep this in mind, because big, foot-tall KM type vases will work poorly with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I understand brass isn't light, but I also doubt they construct all of their hookahs from brass. Either way maybe the one my girlfriend bought isn't a Nawras, but I've seen many of those exact models at the local shop. I asked to handle them, because I noticed the styling was Syrian, most were heavy and some were light, like my girlfriends. But they all had common traits and through my inspection pretty durable.

And dizzbizz, Scoop posted on another forum that China is now cranking out ripoff Syrians. They look just like the Nour/Nawras, but are Chinese. Even comes with a fake boho! http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/316574373/smoking_syrian_hookah_shisha_narguile_The.html http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/317425587/smoking_syrian_hookah_shisha_narguile_The.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
