Hassouni Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Just got back from yet another long trip to Lebanon, and though I'm sick as a dog, I present you this [img]https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/165058_852432496651_560103811_n.jpg[/img] Yes, it's the argile I've been looking for for nearly 2 years, that is not sold in shops. And it survived the 6,000 mile journey home! Better pics and smoke report when I get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just need to find some glass that suits it. The one pictured is the one that model gets used with at the restaurant it came from, and it's heavy crystal, but it's dinky as all hell, especially when used with what's by far the tallest stem I now have. Kind of want a trumpet to go with it, but these two go so well together: [img]https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/417688_748236146971_996679070_n.jpg[/img] Maybe get a Kasbawi Bohemi?

Hassouni Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 More pics, showing some detail: [attachment=6134:IMG_6757.jpg] [attachment=6135:IMG_6765.jpg] [attachment=6136:IMG_6761.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 And on a few different bases: [attachment=6137:IMG_6755.jpg] Trumpet [attachment=6138:IMG_6759.jpg] Original [attachment=6139:IMG_6762.jpg] Extra Turkish glass The original base is allegedly crystal. It's only 10" tall and quite slender but weighs 2lbs 10 oz, which is HEAVY. Omar (Kasbah) said it's probably crystal blown into a mold rather than hand cut, and he might be right. It's just too small for a pipe this big - from the top of the bowl port to the nut of the downstem it's just a bit less than 36", and it weighs nearly 3 pounds. Not sure if I wanna go for trumpet or bell shaped glass....I like the look of the trumpet, but I can't buy any that I like online, and that one looks really good on the stainless swirl stem as pictured in a previous post....

Chreees Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Seeing it on that trumpet, I just don't like it any other way. I know how much you like the trumpet on the shank it's already on... Mind taking some detailed pics of the shank and of the inside of the tray? Fancy looking tray it looks like from the pics so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, definitely need a big base. That one you linked is only 10" tall. It's gonna be either a trumpet or a BJ Boho or one of those extra chunky Turkish crystal ones, I think. Given how sleek and straight it is, the trumpet is aesthetically the best fit, but I'll probably have to wait till my next trip out there to pick one up, and that'll be probably in 3-5 months.

Stuie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I personally like it on the Turkish Base. The blue is a nice contrast to the brass stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
