ilikemyusername Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 So the other day i was cleaning the house and lo-and behold! I found a MYA Colossus! oh my though, i packed it away dirty, in its case, on the shelf in my laundry room. There it sat for god knows how long, hidden by clothes hanging above it. I opened the box and smelled cooked shisha! In my laziness I didnt even clean the bowl, it still had remnants of the previous session and foil on it! I placed my hidden box of horrors back where it was, too ashamed of myself to even deal with it. The following day i returned to my black box, enetered the combination and clicked it open. I pulled out all of the pieces remembering what my fallen hero had once looked like and decided to return it to its previous glory. a little dawn dish soap, bleach for the glass and a serious scrub down is all it needed to be completely smokeable again! I assembled the pieces and set it on my living room end table, illuminated by the lamp which it towered over. i decided that night to place an order for esk apple. Much to my delight I discovered Nakhla now makes a RASBERRY flavor... OOOH I can hardly wait. So the question is... Wait until my order arrives ... OR! go to the "local" shop and pay mad money for a 50g box... I think I'll pay out the ass for 50g, I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A13lackFish Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I would likely run to the store and give it a go. Hopefully with a good flavor not some random no name shot lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3cretz Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 A Colossus ! You must spoil that hookah and it will return it to you in kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelhookah Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hell yeah, although that is a beast of a hookah. I wanted one a while back, but now I have settled on a slightly smaller Mya cloisinne pipe. Nice find though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well, I did it... I just paid $8.51 for Rosetta DA! my only other choices were Pharoahs cherry (and I'm not big on the robitussin flavors) and jewels line of trashcan flavor. On a sidenote, I didn't know you could buy a pumpkin for $59.99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Let us know how that Rosetta works out for you. I have a couple unopened boxes of rosetta from when I went to a cigar shop, asked a bunch of questions and felt bad about leaving without buying anything.

joelhookah Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Since you want a 2 hose you will want a Mya. If I were you, I would wait until one comes up for sale on the forums. I actually just bought a nice 29" Mya off Stuie on here, should be here tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I used to own a Collosus.. beautiful pipe. Sadly, I had to get rid of it. Cost of it was far too much. Though now I might be willing to get one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Okay, one thing to consider is the cost of such a pipe. I remember with shipping it was about $300. most people would simply buy 3 pipes. I went with the colossus 4 hose because i used to have group sessions with up to 7 or 8 people, a 4 hose hookah can accomodate 3 to 4 couples smoking from the same pipe, more if people really want to share with other people but to me thats just plain wierd. Do you mostly smoke by yourself? if so I would go with a high quality egyptian pipe, something solid and preferably with a name. "egyptian" is not a brand, more ofter than not they're made from cheap metal and with good care a higher quality "egyptian" can last a long time but not a lifetime. How long do you plan on smoking your hookah pipe? if you think it may be a fad I certainly wouldnt buy a colossus. Ask yourself honestly, "Is this a lifestyle for me or is it a passing intrest?" If you're not going to be in it to win it then an "egyptian" will work fine for you and you can probably sell it on craigs list for what you put into it several years from now. What are you into? a typical egyptian pipe will be sort of plain looking, aluminum is not the shiniest stuff in the world but with a good polishing it can look like a quality pipe and will run you $50 to $80. I wouldnt spend more than that on something that isn't going to last forever. a higher quality brand name egyptian or other hookah will run you somewhere between $100 and $200 and will be well worth it in the long run. a high quality MYA hookah will run between $50 and $300 and as long as its not econo should last long enough to pass it down to your great grand kids. Keep in mind... Do you like the look of a traditional hookah pipe? or Are you into a more modern look? The possibilities are endless but a good starting point would be to go to hookah-shisha.com. They have just about every hookah on the market! thier selection is amazing but I'm not a big fan, they seem to be a bit higher priced and it takes FOREVER to get an order from them to florida. for whatever reason my orders go from Austin to Dallas very quickly and then sit in dallas for a week, then they go to kentucky, tennessee, georgia, puerto rico, hawaii, austrailia, georgia, california, then florida... not really..
