This is a clear 19" modern Chinese hookah with a screw on glass base. It is a great alternative to standard small hookahs that use rubber gaskets, because the screw on base makes for an air tight fit every time. The hose is 65 inches long and the ceramic head holds approximately 15 to 16 grams of tobacco. This hookah is a solid construction of brass and stainless steel. This hookah disassembles to fit in a small carrying case for easy travel and cleaning. These hookahs are great for beginners as they are easy to use. Also, it is offered at a great price for the quality!
