Where did Khalil Mamoon start from?

The brand Khalil Mamoon is the name of the individual who started the business in 1873, Mr. Khalil Mamoon. It was common practice in the middle east to use the first and last name of the entrepreneur who established the business to be used as the business name and is still a practice that is still used today. The company is still a family owned and run business which is currently being operated by the originator’s great grandchild, known at the Khalil Mamoon International Group.

What does the shisha world think of Khalil Mamoon?

KM pipes are great hookahs! They function well and provide great hookah sessions. The build on a Khalil Mamoon shisha is quite amazing for a hand-crafted pipe. One of the more unique parts of a Khalil Mamoon shisha is the amount of time and effort being put into each and engrave designs in the brass of the hookah stem. Each Khalil Mamoon nargile will have its own unique touches and may have a few blemishes since its hand made.

What make a Khalil Mamoon so unique?

Khalil Mamoon shishas are all made by hand. The time and effort it takes to create a single pipe is lengthy. Generally, the hardest part of manufacturing a KM is the outer body of the stem. Molds are created for the shape of the outer stem so that molted metal can be poured and cooled to for the figure. Engraving is done by hand by Egyptian artisans using a special tool to make unique arabesque designs and calligraphy. To add to this, Khalil Mamoon International Group does not manufacture all its products in-house. Just like many other companies, the establishment outsources certain accessories including its genuine pipe.  

Khalil Mamoon's focus is in the manufacturing of the stem itself alongside the tray and tongs of the Khalil Mamoon setup.

Some of the outsourced accessories are the Khalil Mamoon hose and the Khalil Mamoon hookah base which are still genuine as they are solely manufactured for the company and stamped with its official logo.

What to look for when purchasing a genuine Khalil Mamoon hookah.

This one is simple. The most common method of identifying a Khalil-Mamoon is by checking for the Arabian & KM logo stamped near the top of the stem where the tray is held. The marking will have the brand written in Arabic enclosed with an etched lotus flower. The actual tray will also have these markings as well along with this detail being also written in English.
