Shakil Vs. Triple Wheat

[Coleman]

Ok people Im looking in to a temsah pipe. I have been told the Triple wheat is good but i was looking at the Shakil and it looked pretty good also. I got some input from of the forum members and im swingin towards the triple wheat but i'd like to hear what others have to say. So your input would be much appreciated. thanks everyone.

If I had to choose the one that is flashier, the shakil. However, I find the Triple Wheat more attractive. I chose the TW over the other temsahs because few pipes have that tower like design, as opposed to the shakil which has bulbs and orbs. The TW stood out, and I knew few pipes woudl look like it.

All in all, they smoke the same and are only an inch apart. I likem both, I just personally went with the TW.

Also, the Temsah Wheat (Or Hercules Wheat I think they call it) is the signature piece of the brass temsah collection, kind of old testament brass hookah. Fantastic reviews and reccomdations, and looks just like the Triple. Not to mention it's short so It'll be easier to clean.

The Shakil looks far more elegant

I've got a Hercules Double Wheat and a Thaqib personally but bought a Shakil XL as a community hookah in my lounge. To be honest, I love them all. I totally agree with you with your old-school comment as that's one of the reasons I'm digging Temsah's so much these days. Straight up, Cole, you can't go wrong with a solid Temsah pipe. If I had to pick between all my Temsah's, I think I'd probably go with the Thaqib as my fave. I love the looks and size of it. The Shakil XL seems a bit too big for my tastes. All of my personal hookas are in the 28"-30" range which I find to be just about right.
