Hassouni Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So I never thought the day would come but here it is - I now own a KM. I'm sure most of you know I've been very anti-KM and not a fan of Egyptian products, and a fierce male-bowl only guy, but it was given to me by a friend as she left for overseas, so I couldn't say no. So here it is, a blue single pear, roughly 36". Came with a cool Narb-esque hose but it was mildewy and nasty so I chucked it - pictured is my Temsaah hose. The box it came in says it was sent from George L(something), Encinitas, CA. Hookah Company?

Let's see, in solidarity with the Egyptians rioting for freedom! PS - GOD those camel design vases are CHEESY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcane Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 looks like a good pipe to me... but, i still prefer KMs to other pipes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nars2k Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeah KMs are by far my favorite hookahs, but I will admit their hookah quality isn't as high as it was in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 ya, thats hookah company. Decent looking hookah though. Since you didnt lay out any cash you can now see if you like them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well, even *I* own a KM. I don't hate them, i just have a problem with the "get a KM" battle cry everytime someone asks about a hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well, let's see if this pipe can change Hass' Egyptian aversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I mean I've smoked KMs several times before, and I'm not a huge fan of the pull, although I know I'm in the tiny minority opinion here. I may use it for stuff like Tangiers where I want super huge clouds..... I have to say though, of KMs in general, I always like the pear models the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well I'm smoking AF Lemon-mint (first time, nice, btw, honestly about as good as Lucid Mimon...), and it's OK. The pull is looser than I prefer, though not as loose as the trimetals at Jay Patel's in London, clouds about on par with the Elmas. The purge valve is stuck though - I can't unscrew the cap. So overall, it's fine but nothing overly special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a hookah, its primary goal is to get smoke and flavor into your lungs, did you expect it to play a little tune too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hahahahahaha no of course not! But it doesn't do the whole smokey lungy thing better than my other pipes, so I can say that as far as I'm concerned, I no longer believe the hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 My point was I feel you have a biased view based solely on the fact that KMs are so popular. You seem to be overly joyed with syrian and elmas pipes and are somewhat let down (as I am sure you expected) by your pear, even though you seem to think they smoke pretty much the same. I mean what is an elma, but a KM with a fucked up purge valve. If your disappointment lies in the performance, I do not understand. If your qualms are more aesthetic, I can totally understand where you are coming from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustafabey Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Chevys vs Fords,Caddies vs Lincolns,Jack Daniel's vs George Dickel, Steak vs Tofu etc Its all a matter of personal choice. I came in here less than a year ago bought into the KM hype and got one. Its a great pipe,but I prefer my no name Egyptian simply because its smaller and easier to clean (KM is a 40" Ice) I'd love an Elmas because its a work of art, I'd probably still smoke my no name.
