got one of these guys - must say very impressive looking upon smoking i noticed the draw was a little tight but minor modification it smokes a lot better - over all a pretty good pipe -
I bought this hookah summer 2009, and of course at first was blown away by the size of it, along with the craftmanship is solid. If you read on the description it says that each piece is handcrafted, so differences may result from what you see. Overall I didn't notice anything 'missing' from the design elements. It looked great all around. At first, I did have a hard time getting a good thick smoke out of it, but with anything it takes practice, and for a while I was using a much smaller hookahs. Owning 6 hookahs when I bought this one, I had to learn that because it was such a tall hookah, it needed more heat. Now I get amazing smoke out of it, and at least 2 hour sessions or slightly longer, depending if I'm running single hose or two hose. I either use 2 small quicklights, or a single piece of the newer released larger quicklights. It is heavy, which I consider a great thing, harder to clean yes, but a conversation piece, and for the sheer size, I think a great price since other hookahs can be a few hundreds dollars more.
I still love this hookah, but im curious why there are two fancy purge valves on it when the hose port has an auto lock for multiple hoses... so you cant purge the vase by blowing through the hose.. hahaha
I just got this hookah in the mail a few days ago and i only have the best things to say about it! ITs very very big! BEAUTIFUL! everything on it is perfect and it smokes like a dragon! Not a travel hookah, but for home base, this is the best hookah ive seen!
if you are looking for a tall classy hookah, this is the one! the vase that i got looks different from what you see in the picture.. but its similar. overall, very good.
i have owned about 10 different hookahs, and this is the best one. It's looks were the best and its long shaft cooled the smoke down well. it was a bit of a fuss to clean, but the cleaning supplies did the work. My only problem was the carrying case made me think it was portable, and it is not. it is fragile and will break if you consider it a peice of luggage you can haul around. keep this bad boy for yourself at home and share only when visitors beg :)
I've ordered this hookah recently, what I asked for does not match the picture. The hookah is nice looking but not as I expected, it is heavy and hard to use. When you smoke the tobacco you will feel how bad it is. Thanks
