TheyCallMeDave Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hey mirsh, thanks for joining the forums! Here's the issue with your request. As someone buying a hookah and not from the US, you have qualifications, and some things need to give/take. Height, price, and shipping costs. If you lived in the US, this would be easier. I know plenty of hookahs in that range of height for 60-80 bucks, the issue is the shipping. Syrian hookahs are great pipes around that height, and they run around 80 bucks. Fantastic pipes. Brands known for Syrian pipes are Nour, Nawras and Al Fakher. Searching for these will lead you in the right direction. Here's hookahjohn.com's (California) selection: http://hookahjohn.com/Quality-SYRIAN-Hookahs_c22.htm Also, a majority of Egyptian hookahs smoke very well and assuming they aren't name brand (Khalil Mamoon for example runs very high in price in comparison to what your range is) will be in your price range. These are the suggestions I have for the price and height you requested, NOT including shipping. If shipping is going to be an issue for you and youw ant to fit it into your budget, I would look around in the trades forum here for good deals, or lower your height to decrease price (Mya hookahs smoke just like 38 inch hookahs, and a majority of them are 20 inches or less) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be better off looking at a vendor in the UK, or anywhere in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirsh Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 i am at the moment but after i look at the exchange rates wich is terrible at the moment sadly, even with shipping i think i can come out with a better deal. I am scottish and i know for a fact that britain at the moment are really tight and will try get the most for something so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirsh Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 fml both sites that do that hookah dont ship to Spain, and the internation sending of starbuzz is confusing :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Man, you're right there on the Mediterranean Sea. That's where most of the hookahs are coming from. I would try to fins someone shipping direct from one of the following contries: Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria or Turkey. Or try to find a local ethnic community related to one of these countries. Im pretty sure there is a lot of stuff shipping out of Israel (judging by ebay). Or you could do a side trip to Germany on your way home to Scotland. It doesn't make sense for you to buy from the US when the pipe you are buying was most likely made very close to where you live and passed right by you on the way to the US.

Skoozle Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Looks a lot like my first hookah only mine is one hose. I think you will be pleased with it. Don't get those hoses wet and go ahead and plan on replacing them when they start to rust. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoozle Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That really sucks. If the vendor is any good they will send you a replacement vase, because they failed to pack that one properly. In the meantime, look around for a juice jug or something that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
