dave_fmx Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 First of all I'd like to say Hi to everyone out there on these forums. I have hookah fever! and I'm on a quest to pick up a few hookahs that meet my fancy. I've owned a Mya Saray and generic egyptian in the past, but gave them away to friends who needed them more than I did. Alas, I'm back with a shisha craving so fierce that it keeps me up at night.. Know the feeling? Anyway, I'd like to pick up a hookah or two, or three, for keeps this time. I'm very specific in my tastes and prefer Syrian stem/vases and also enjoy the elmas-style turkish stems and leather pipes (although I dislike turkish vases, eww). I've tried KMs, love the smoke, but not a fan of the egyptian style, just my preference. Also, I'm in love with Dom's and Chreees' style brass Nour/Nawras, those are my ideal hookahs with out a doubt. I've found some examples of what I am seeking and I'm in need of help to locate such pieces. If you recognize any of these models, and more importantly, where I could purchase them I'd be indebted to you! First one pictures is an all brass elmas, second is a mya. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Haha, I know the feeling... Check out Kasbah for some nice Syrians: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/44786-kasbah-hookah-bazaar-official-thread/page__st__40#entry544595 . He also has a really nice Lebanese hookah listed on his site that may tickle your fancy. I'm tempted to pick it up myself, but don't need anymore hookahs! Elmas, go with NazarHookah.com. I used to own the 618; loved it. It's really hard to find those brass vases to match the shank. I've only seen them a few times in pics, and never for sale. The second hookah looks like a Mya Saray. I'm not sure if any online vendors currently have that model. If anything, contact Mya Saray directly from their site (myasaray.com) with the picture attached telling them you are looking for it. They should be able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitchy Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 im loving that elmas with brass base !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 One of the nicest turkish hoses I have seen. The elmas is a little gaudy for my taste, but an interesting pipe nonetheless. The start of a very eclectic quiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 No idea where people get those brass vases from, but that shit is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 yurdan has a few of the brass vases ... they are pretty cool I must say, they do seem like there is too much going on but it would still be cool to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_fmx Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just finalized a deal with Kasbah for my first Syrian hookah! If had to rate the helpfulness of responses here I would give it a 10/10. To be honest, I thought it was gonna take me ages to find even one of the hookahs I wanted. I gave up searching on my own and thought why not try asking for help on the forums - and what a pleasant surprise I'll be sure to post pictures of the syrian soon for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_fmx Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hmm I'll agree that the all-brass Elmas is a little on the outlandish side of things. I think my attraction towards it stems from my childhood dream of becoming a treasure hunter . Picture this, a person who has no past experience regarding hookahs is sifting for antiques in an old attic, and manages to find a velvet sleeve with that all brass Elmas dazzling inside. Ok my imagination is running away on me.. The yurdan website has one that looks almost identical, but I'm gonna wait a couple months till I break in the syrian first. I didn't expect to have the option to buy both at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_fmx Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Here's closer pictures of the all brass plus a custom made brass/ceramic casting which is a novelty.

Chreees Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Wow, where the hell did you find those pics?? Did you snap them in person or snag them off the net? These additional pics of the all-brass Turk have blown my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would been nice to see it in person, cuz I wouldn't have left until the owner let me have a sample from it Edited April 18, 2012 by dave_fmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
