What the fiets is that? That is what we asked when a friend of ours came walking into the Global Hemp Museum with this device…

This looks like some sort of coffee machine, a hoover or maybe even a pressure cooker.

After opening the lid and inserting a glass tube, it started to look like something completely different! This looks like a state of the art smoke device! We could not figure it out right away, but after examining it a bit, it turned out to be an arabic style shisha/hookah with an electrical heating source.

Judging by the size of the huge bowl it was designed to smoke apple or other flavored tobacco, maybe with a sprinkle of crushed up hash on top. The Mistery Pipe was discovered in an embassy, just before it was being demolished. The guy who did the demolishing found it and donated it to us. Can you imagine such luck? We gave him a fair bag of bud in return. Now, who wants to guess in which country’s embassy this piece was found? The embassy building was in the Netherlands, of course.

The heating device works, but so far we have not smoked on it yet, so many pipes, so little time… We will start it up with our guests here, it will hit them like a train, because I willl sprinkle thoroughly.

Can you see the text? It says it is a National product, made in Japan, found in the ????? embassy in the Netherlands, now it ended up in Spain… Who can help me with the translation of the apperently arabic text on the label?

The one who guesses right about the embassy will be sent a nice present. Only responses in comments below.

It looks marvellous in between our other smoke pieces, it will be an attraction for our future clients.
