People who love Hookahs, knows that the most popular hookah is Khalil-Mamoon. This article will tell you the history of its origin, kinds and also will answer to the question, why it is most used in hookah bars and lounges.
History
Let’s start with the history of the hookah, which is a mixture of truth and family traditions: in the 18th century in Egypt the great-great-great-grandfather of Khalil’s family lived and his name was Khaleel Tag el deen Maamoon Khaleel. His job was to repair oil lamps, the main source of artificial light in those days. He also loved to restore various antiques and was a civilian employee, that allowed him to live in Turkey, Egypt, and work for the ruler of the Ottoman Empire in Astana and then ruler of Egypt – Mohammed Ali Pasha. To the last one Khalil Tag el-Din Khalil Maamun presented its first hookah (the founder of its modern shape) which he had made in Turkey. So Turks positioned it as Turkish invention, though it was invented by an Egyptian. But in fact hookah was invented long before, had a different view and called Bori or Goza.
Throughout his life Khalil Mamoon had been improving its production technology. He set the family business up, which is in force and now is being transferred from father to son.
Why Khalil-Mamoon hookahs are the most popular?
Quality: All items are of high quality. Impossible to break, which ensures its durability.
Tightness: cast shaft. Excepting the valve hookah, it has no collapsible elements.
Slight smoking: thanks to an inner diameter of the shaft ( one of the maximum dimensions in the hookah’ production) we can get the ease of smoking and thanks to the fact that it is made of stainless steel the lifetime increases significantly.
The correct spelling of a name Khalil Mamoon
There are many ways of spelling the company name in Latin letters: Khalil Mamoon, Khaleel Maamoon, Khalil Maamoon etc. Any writing is correct. Thepiont is that using different combinations of latin characters people are trying to emit sounds that are not present in other language, that’s why the spelling is different. So if you see a different spelling on the shaft, base bottle or hose that does not mean that it is a fake, just another spelling. Khalil Mamoon can be sometimes shortened to “KM”, using the first Latin letters.

They have different size, weight and, surely, material. It has no affect on smoking properties, a variety of shafts allows you to select a hookah, which you most like.
