Khalil Mamoon 1287 Pharaoh Crest – ~70 cm, Egyptian Draw, Gold Lacquer

Pharaoh Ice Crest 1287 — tall gold-finish KM with crested tray, sculpted stem and a lacquered calligraphy base

What this is, why it helps, how it works, why get one

This full-height Khalil Mamoon is built for classic café clouds. A wide, crested tray crowns a sculpted gold stem; inside, a straight Egyptian down-stem keeps the pull naturally open. KM’s single-ball purge clears the chamber in one breath. The heavy bell base — finished in amber/black lacquer with gold script — steadies the water so smoke stays cool and consistent. If you want unmistakable KM feel with bold gold presence, the Pharaoh Ice Crest 1287 delivers.

What sets it apart

• Crested gold tray with hammered detail for grip and easy ash control between rounds.
• Open Egyptian draw from a straight down-stem — fast ramp-up, flavour-forward pulls.
• One-breath purge via the classic single-ball valve to reset the chamber instantly.
• Lacquered calligraphy base — weighty glass adds thermal mass; amber/black palette stands out on any shelf.
• Tall stance (~70 cm) gives lounge-level behaviour in a home-ready footprint.

Fit & compatibility

• Base neck: KM large ≈ 45 mm. Use a large base grommet — see Khalil Mamoon Base Grommet.
• Bowls: Includes a traditional Egyptian bowl for foil. For HMDs, pick a compatible phunnel from Phunnel Bowls.
• Hose port: Standard KM male (~11 mm). Prefer washable? Upgrade in Silicone Hoses.

How to dial it in

• Water line: 15–20 mm above the down-stem bell for an open, quiet draw.
• Foil packs: level pack, tight foil, two 26 mm cubes; add a third after 5–7 min if needed.
• Purge: a steady exhale fully clears; half-purge to refresh flavour mid-round.

Craft & performance

Hand-built in Cairo on a stainless core with electro-plated gold exterior parts. Turned nodes on the shaft give secure handling when warm, and the heavier bell base evens the heat curve so flavour stays consistent deep into the session.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse stem and base warm with mild detergent; soft nylon brush for the down-stem.
• Avoid abrasives/strong alkalis on plated and painted areas; dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Quick fixes

• Harsh start: lift HMD lid 10–15 s or edge a coal; for foil, ease the pack.
• Thin clouds: fully light coals; add a third cube; check seals and water level.
• Air leak: refresh bowl/base grommets and re-seat the stem and hose.
