Floataround Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 So, I found this today at 5stars website! Could it be? [url="http://5starhookah.com/Turkish-Hose-TURH.htm"]http://5starhookah.com/Turkish-Hose-TURH.htm[/url] It seems like it. But I did try and do a little digging, because they do not really get into anything about the hose. Specifically, if is made from goat skin, or if its just a normal leather hose thats really big and decorated like a turkish. I found some posts elsewhere that seemed to imply that they were not made from goat skin..but who knows. Pricy, but if they are legit, I would pick one up on my next order for sure.

[/quote] $60 is a LOOOOT for any hose IMO. it'd be awesome to have one, but I hear you can get them from turkey for like.. $5 US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Those are craptastic. Your best bet is ordering from Turkey or Germany, or that one lounge in San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not imagine shipping going up too much if you added 2 or 3 hoses to the box.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 For $60, I'd pass and go through the trouble of getting an Elmas instead. In fact, that's what I did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I never heard anyone have a problem but Idk... i was only there to look at hoses. We checked them before buying. I guess you get someone in the area to buy one you can have them check them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I know Ringmaster_Dan got one for Trytis and his leaked. I wanna say someone else as well, but not 100% positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlec Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 [quote name='Chreees' timestamp='1326177093' post='535138'] I know Ringmaster_Dan got one for Trytis and his leaked. I wanna say someone else as well, but not 100% positive. [/quote] It was a small leak, think he fixed it. That was 1 out of 8 hoses that had the problem and it was still smoking for him, these hoses are especially treated by the owner of the lounge to make sure they are air tight, Trytis just needed to reglue the tip in from what he told me. Not a major issue, the fail rate of these aren't any higher than any other leather hose and not really worth mentioning. These hoses that Dan gets are way better than the 5Star ones from what I've seen and I have personally used the ones dan has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
