Description
The Khalil Mamoon Mini Beast squeezes full-sized Egyptian performance into a nimble 52 cm frame. Hand-forged in Cairo from a stainless-steel core with electro-plated brass finishes, each stem and vase bears the hallmarks of true KM craft—visible welds, brush marks and one-off paintwork. Whether you’re sessioning solo or posting up with a couple of mates, the Mini Beast purges effortlessly, draws wide-open and packs lounge-level clouds without hogging table space.
Handmade KM • 52 cm • Stainless-Steel Core
Performance Highlights
• Wide-gauge down-stem for an open, effortless pull
• One-breath purge via traditional single-ball valve
• Thick Egyptian glass base keeps water volume stable and smoke cool
• Electro-plated exterior resists rust and wipes clean quickly
Flavour Compatibility
Plays nicely with bright blonde-leaf mixes and heavier dark-leaf blends—just match coal heat to your pack style.
Usage Tips
Run 15–18 mm water above the down-stem bell, foil-pack the included Egyptian clay bowl, or swap to a phunnel + HMD for longer dark-leaf rounds. Three medium cube coals or Lotus I+ with two cubes is the Mini Beast’s sweet spot. Standard KM male hose port—any Egyptian or silicone hose slips straight in.
Brand Story
Khalil Mamoon has been hand-building hookahs in Cairo since 1873. Every Mini Beast still starts as raw sheet metal, hand-hammered and welded by artisans whose families have carried the craft for generations.

FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it real stainless inside? | Yes—core stem & down-stem are food-grade stainless; exterior colour is plated. |
| Can I order a specific vase colour? | Because every shipment is mixed, colours are random. Contact us before checkout if you need a certain hue. |
| Is the hose washable? | Stock KM hose is traditional & non-washable; swap to silicone if you rinse after every smoke. |
