Top Mark Sokar 22/1 — 53 cm Egyptian Single-Hose Shisha Pipe

Why We Recommend It to New Smokers

• Stainless steel stem from top to downstem — rust-resistant, easy to brush clean, holds up to years of regular use without the plating issues cheaper pipes develop.
• 53 cm compact height sits comfortably on a coffee table or floor mat without taking over the room.
• Wide-bore airway on the traditional single-hose Egyptian design delivers an open, effortless draw from the first pull.
• Hand-painted glass base crafted by local Egyptian artisans — expect decorative variation between pieces, which is part of the character.
• Ships complete: hose, clay bowl, tray, grommets, and cleaning brushes all included.

First Session Setup

• Fill the glass base with cold water until the downstem tip is submerged by 10–15 mm.
• Seat the stem into the grommet and press firmly for a full seal.
• Connect the hose, pack the clay bowl, foil over, and add your lit charcoal.
• Purge stale smoke between rounds with a gentle breath out through the hose.

Care & Cleaning

• Rinse the stem interior with warm water and a stem brush after every session.
• Clean the glass base with warm water and a pinch of bicarb to strip flavour ghosting.
• Dry every component fully before reassembling to protect the stainless finish.

Common Questions

Is this a good first hookah?

It's one of the pipes we recommend most often in store for exactly that. You get genuine Egyptian build quality and a complete kit without stretching into premium pricing.

Can I see the glass base before I buy?

Yes — every base is hand-painted so no two are identical. If you want to see what's currently in stock, visit our Melbourne store and we'll show you the options on the shelf.

Does it fit an HMD?

The included clay bowl takes a Kaloud Lotus I+ or Provost-style heat manager without issue. Just size up to a compatible phunnel if you want a tighter fit.
