mattarios2 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It has been quite a while since I have been around these parts. I have not betrayed you guys or this community, just been busy with the website and other various business ventures I am attempting and hoping to not fail. I miss all of you guys, and I am going to try to come on at least once a week to keep in touch with all of you. The collection still exists, haven't bought any pipes because the KM's that have been coming out have been an utter fail in the design department with the exception of a couple in my opinion. But the boho shrine is still kicking hard! I read around a bit and am aware of the drama, so before I say what I am going to say next, you can leave the drama about so and so out of it oh and the nak flavors as I have those coming tomorrow. Now ... WHATS NEW ALL ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 New nakhla flavours, new tangiers flavours, syrians trumping KMs. Oh, and I bought new shoes!! But that may not interest you I am guessing. Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 heh, which Syrians exactly are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 good to see you back, man! i hope all is well. and vendetta pretty much covered it. personally, i think that for the price (maybe even beyond the price) syrians > kms. at least the nours and nawras-es... they look better, they smoke the same if not better - what else could you ask for? i think that most of it is because some hardcore price manipulation on the part of either the wholesalers/importers or some hardcore price-fixing on the part of the retailers....i was told by one particular guy in california "these kids just love KM's, and so i told (a competitor) that we should just drive the prices up, because people will continue to buy them." and i didn't buy a KM after that...

mattarios2 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, I do think KM's are over priced I only buy them if vendors give me a deal on them. What vendors have the new Syrians many are raving about? Remember I have been out of the scene so I mainly only check a couple go to sites from time to time.

Chreees Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 John! Glad to see you back! I missed you. Only Syrians I really think are good are the older Nour/Al Nawras, but newer Nours seem to be popping up here and there on certain vendors. HookahCompany has a couple. These newer ones have smaller hose ports and purges ,whereas the older ones (like the one I have) have the bigger ones. Other than that, seems to be about the same quality. The new Nakhla flavors, which you already know about, are out. Eric is churning out new Tangiers flavors like it ain't nothing- Dark Plum, Regal Flower, K-Guava, Guanabana, Jackfruit, Sevilla Orange, Blackberry, Welsh Cream, and K-Prune. Jackfruit, Dark Plum, Regal Flower, and Blackberry really shine for me. Haven't had Sevilla Orange, Welsh Cream, or K-Prune yet, but I have them unopened and will let you know once I try them. KM Beast hose (sold at HC) is awesome. New KM models, but I agree, they're not all that awesome. Definitely not as good or cool as the older models. Um... Think that's about it. Someone else know if I'm missing something? Haha. Either way, welcome back, buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Man you three, look at those total posts. It definitely shows I've been gone for a while. I saw your video on the beast hose, what makes it so awesome other than the width of the hose? Because I took a washable hose and then wrapped the km ultimate hose fabric around the outside. So i essentially have a washable ultimate hose which I am in love with and use it every day. How ballin is this "beast" hose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It just seems built extremely well. Very durable. The gauge surprised the crap out of me. I still can't get over it. But yeah, widest gauge and built well... about it, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Kapten, I haven't tried it again, I am more than pleased with Nak and excited about the new flavors as well. For the price point and ease of smoking I'd prefer to just stick with Nak, it is so consistent. And it sounds like you are getting a little bit of what I had to go through :-/ Click - how ya been bud :-) ? Riv - your message actually is what made me come back. I saw your message on my profile through an email HF automatically sends me and I was like ... WHAT ... they need me? lol only seemed right for me to make some time for my home. Epoch - I am no legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
