Khalil Mamoon 1566 Classic Oxide – 80 cm, Antique Copper Look

Classic Oxide 1566 — 80 cm KM with engraved oxide stem, crest tray and monochrome calligraphy base

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

This is a tall, café-style Khalil Mamoon finished in a warm oxide tone (antique copper look). The sculpted, engraved stem runs a straight Egyptian down-stem for a naturally open pull, and the classic single-ball purge clears the chamber in one breath. A thick bell base with black/grey body and white calligraphy stabilises the water so smoke stays cool and consistent. If you want a statement KM with traditional behaviour and rich metalwork, the Classic Oxide 1566 delivers.

What sets it apart

• Engraved oxide hardware: deep relief and vented motifs add grip and visual punch.
• Open Egyptian draw: straight down-stem favours flavour and fast cloud ramp.
• One-breath purge: KM’s single-ball valve resets the chamber instantly.
• Monochrome calligraphy base: heavy glass with white bands for stability and thermal mass.
• 80 cm overall: full-size stature and lounge-level performance.

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? Browse Silicone Hoses.

How to dial it in

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

Craft & performance

Hand-built in Cairo on a stainless-steel core with oxide-tone plated exterior. The tall, engraved sections provide secure handling, and the heavier bell base evens the heat curve so flavour holds deeper into the session.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse stem and base warm with mild detergent; use a soft nylon brush for the down-stem.
• Avoid abrasives/strong alkalis on plated parts and painted base; 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.
