Only Kaloud can get hookah tongs and make them look desirable! They look incredible, the combination of wood and metal feels ultra premium, has a nice spring action to it so it always defaults back to its original position, and best of all, they are very functional, in particular I noticed that the little indentations on the tips of the Vestara make it very easy to grab the stainless steel Lotus 2 after pre heating it and easily placing it on the Samsaris without worrying about losing your grip and dropping it or even scratching the Lotus 2 like traditional tongs would, and they are also very easy to grab charcoal and have full control over where to place them inside the Lotus. They are excellent, versatile tongs that seamlessly complement my Kaloud Eltheria.
