The Guessing Game


Recommended Posts

because the trays are either screw on or snap on and ornamented with beautiful designs and never shake or tangle because they screw into or snap into a tight fit?

I like Syrian hookahs best because I think they have some of the best styles you can find for hookahs, along with perfect size, draw, purge, built well (if you know which ones to look for), and some even offer exchangeable bowl ports, allowing you to use either a male or female bowl (this is a very handy feature on my Al Nawras Spear!). The trays are usually not the most ornate, but they are solid and functional. Syrian glass is often gawdy and not the best quality, but you can get lucky and find some nice stuff out there (huge shout out to Hassouni for bringing me back a Syrian trumpet vase in his carryon luggage from Lebanon!). So yeah, I have many reasons. But probably my biggest reason I love my Syrian hookah gear so much is that I have a lot of sentimental attachment to it. Most of it I only have because of awesome friends I made here, and to me that says a lot. I can't name who helped me out on my Nawras Spear, my dream hookah, but I would like to publicly thank them anyway. My Syrian trumpet vase, of course you all know Hassouni helped me out there. My "shawty" Al Nawras hookah, Mark at Kasbah Hookah Bazaar hooked me up with, getting only one (and I still havent seen another just like it) and allowing me first dibs to purchase (thanks again Mark, wherever you are!). I also got a nice tall AF Solid look-alike from Ashley/Skoozle on here, which I greatly appreciated, but it was just too tall! Haha. I paid it forward there by selling it to Mustang/Nate, who thoroughly enjoys it. I get a LOT of PMs from folks asking how much I want for my Syrian stuff. I always tell them none of it is for sale. Truth is I could never sell any of it, unless I absolutely had no other choice and was going to be put out on the streets otherwise. For all of the reasons listed above, it would be very, very hard to part with any of it. Syrians will always hold a special place in hookah heart. :)

Yes, Chris I do love that pipe! It's still one of my two daily used pipes!

Syrians are absolutely gorgeous to me. They tend to be shaped more elegantly IMO which I find very appealing. The closed off draw feels better to me as well, and they're just so gat damn sexy!!
