You think cigars are old? Pipes? Try the art of Narghile. Although today's youth think a "hookah" is simply a means to smoke highly flavored tobacco with names like Blueberry Bubblegum, the real art of the Narghile is anything but. Narghile is an ancient practice, traditional, spiritual, ubiquitous worldwide and until recently free of the marketing monkeys. Thanks to Hass for the amazing contributions herein.

It looks like a brass screw-together Syrian. The main stem, heart, downstem, bowl adapter, etc, all screw apart. I have one not too different from that. Some of them smoke fine, but a lot are for the tourist trade only. That one looks like it could be one of the decent ones, though.
