I love the height of this thing, everyone who comes in the store looks at that one 1st before even looking at all the expensive MYA's. I love the hose on this thing it is extra wide and handle is very long. You can inhale it with out any effort. very smooth. I like it more then the MYA's. It comes with all the accessories straight out of the box. Brush for vase and brush for shaft. Lady figured tongs, large bowl, and vase base protector. The great thing about this hookah is that the stem extends almost all the way to the bottom of the vase.Do you have a connection state-side that you bought that from? Or was that purchased from HC back when they were carrying them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our 1st time shipping out of state to a customer. We dont exactly sell to out of state customers. its taking me a little time to figure out shipping cost and how to set up payment thru credit card so its easier. If anyone or online shops can send me a pm on how to setup a credit card service that will make it easier. Dont worry ghostofdavid, I already put a note on your hookah saying "Sold" its yours, not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the premium package HC was selling, no? How's that hose?The hookah is great, the hose was good untill i started smoking flavours other than double apple. It held in flavours and isn't washable, i tried to wash it but it rusted out. It finally went into the garbage after milk in the vase bubbled up into the hose. Right now i am just using air-con tubing, works great, as long as i want it, and its washable.Oh, I think mine is stainless not brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The new Khalil Mahmoon's are awful. Their new hoses have a strong, obnoxious chemical flavor that never seems to go away or subside. Their new hookahs are coated steel, not brass cores like they used to be. HUGE disappointment. The old school brass core ones are indeed great.

ghostofdavid Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 With any luck, I'll get one of the awful ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 For anyone interested, I just received an email confirming that the Khalil Mamouns at shisha-central.co.uk are brass cores coated in steel, and would cost £30 to ship up to 7kg to PA.

New all brass ones are closer to $40 wholesale...which would correspond to like $100 retail...certainly not 30 BPd. George at Hookah Company is moving towards getting Nour hookahs.

cymptom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Of course there's no way of proving it.... all we ever have to go by is what the retailer tells us. Good to hear HC may be getting some Nours -- how likely is this to happen in the immediate future? Last I heard, George couldn't find any means of obtaining them. I'm hoping that has been worked out... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Yea... I e-mailed Hookah Company a week or two ago (at the prompting of many) and the general concensus was that he had no way of obtaining them and had no plans to do so... did something change between now and then?I hope so, I want a nour!
