• The Unslayable Dragon

  As the title suggests, this blog is going to be about the Dragon Hookah.  Well, and dragons… because every design has a story to tell.

  Let’s take a look at dragons.  In Asia they have always been revered, symbolic of wealth, power and luck.  China even adopted the dragon as the sign of their entire nation.  This is shown in historical representations of the mythical beast; if you glance through ancient Chinese manuscripts dragons take on a Godlike persona.  They’re the rulers and controllers of bodies of water, they make rivers move, tides change and waves form in the ocean.  They’re also a symbol of the Imperial families.

  We felt it was only right, since smoking hookah embodies calm, peace and relaxation, to use the Asian form of the dragon on the vase of the hookah.  Once we came to this conclusion we got to decide HOW.  How does one put a design as timeless and revered as the dragon on a hookah without it seeming cheap and gaudy?    You can paint it on, but paint chips.  You can carve it in, but then there might be thin point in the glass.  This really leaves only one option.

  The dragon hookah was the first hookah released on the market where the etched dragon is raised above the rest of the glass on the vase.  So far, we’ve yet to see any other company attempt to imitate the process.  And that’s why the Dragon is unslayable.  The legendary serpentine figure scrawled down the length of the vase is noble on its own, and the quality of work that went into makes it even more majestic.

  Ok, now that we’re done talking it up, what are the actual specs of the vase?  We went with the patented Sahara shape that’s extremely hard to tip over due to its wide bottom.  On top of that, we went with an amber colored glass to emphasize the black, sculpted dragon.

  That’s our tribute to the fabled creatures that have rocked mythology for centuries.
