The ship has arrived at port, the containers have been unloaded and the new Mya Saray hookahs are finally here. The recent additions to the product line bring its catalogue count up to somewhere in the millions, lets just hope they can keep this one in stock and not repeat the Bambino fiasco (wink wink). The new Solo, Chic and Mini are valuable expansions of their already popular Bambino and QT products.  

The Solo:
Equipped with the C-Class stem (the one that looks like it swallowed an egg) this Pumpkin hookah on steroids seems like a worthy competitor for its larger QT brother. Available in Amber and Pink this may be that perfectly inexpensive, just small enough and cute enough hookah that brings more women into the hookah game. We will have to wait and see how it actually smokes, but knowing Mya's reputation I am sure it will be up to standards.      

The Chic:
The QT did so well that it was time to release a luxury version for that yuppie, stuck up, hookah smokers crowd. Slightly larger than the original due to its oversize vase this hookah is posed to take over that coveted $60-80 price range in which most hookah purchases reside. The beautiful new bohemian glass, available in 12,876 different color varieties, with hand painted designs in real 14k gold paint are bound to attract attention and maybe even a little envy from your other, not-so-chic friends. What lies ahead? Will the new bohemian glass live up to the standard of the old, or will it crumble under the pressure like some of the new larger and more expensive Mya's have? Will the Chic be able to keep up with its older brother, the QT, in many categories such as smoke quality, durability and ease of use?

The Mini:  
Not much to say about this slightly updated model. For 2008, it looks like Mya will be releasing a Mini with a slightly updated stem. No guarantees of how popular it will be, but its a nice change from the old and tired C-Class stem that Mya has jammed on to almost all of their most popular models for the last few years. We will see how well the new stem performs, but we do not foresee any issues.
