Shisha charcoal


The hubbly bubbly is becoming a household name in many countries now. In the last few decades the shisha experience has expanded from the Middle East to almost all parts of the world. The shisha experience is not just about smoking the shisha; it is in fact about the feel and the emotion of the moment. The experience for most people is all about the togetherness and unity of the moment, enjoying the aromatic smoky surroundings with friends and family. The hubbly bubbly helps you get rid of all your worries, once you grab that shisha hose in your hand and inhale the first puff of aromatic smoke relaxation just sets in all of your being. Your problems and tensions just go out the window. The shisha charcoal is one of the most important components of enjoying the shisha experience, without a high quality charcoal you just cannot get the best moments of the shisha experience. The tobacco smoke from the shisha is lightened by the even and cleans burning of the charcoal. Picking the right shisha charcoal for your shisha experience is just as important as picking the right shisha tobacco flavor. There are many types of shisha charcoal available in the market these days, but mainly shisha charcoal can be divided into two categories; quick lights and natural coals.


The quick lights category of the shisha charcoals consist of basically light coals which can be used indoors as they have a simple lighter. The quick light coal produces a very small amount of ash as compared to other types of charcoal. The coals remain lighted for your whole shisha experience as these coals do not last a very long time. When using quick lights shisha charcoal always remember to light the coal properly before you take a puff from your shisha because if it isn’t properly lighted you can be left with a very bad taste in your mouth. Quick lights shisha charcoal is the best choice when it comes to enjoying a shisha at home, but be careful before you buy it because some low quality quick lights coal can also contain lighter fluids which just ruin your wonderful shisha experience.


The natural coals are more long lasting than the quick lights shisha charcoal. As these coals are hotter than any other type of shisha charcoal they make them much easier to manage. Natural coals shouldn’t be used indoors as they produce much more ash than quick lights and are also much harder to light. The positive thing however is that they are cheaper than the quick lights and also produce a much more natural and cleaner smoke.


Marvel in the best shisha experience by using shisha charcoal that really brings out the best flavors of your shisha hookah tobacco. Choose either the quick light or natural coal depending on the shisha experience that you wish to have. The best thing to do is to try out both the types, and then see which one suits your taste.

Hookah Pipes that are in great demand now days!

Majority of the people reading this article have either smoked a hookah or are planning to try one in the near future, right? And that is why you must be curious as to how a Hookah works, well this is how. A hookah uses indirect heat and water, which creates smoke which then the hookah smoker can enjoy. A hookah normally has single or multiple hookah pipes through which the smoker smokes. These hookah pipes are what connect the smoker with the hookah. The hookah pipes are an essential component of the hookah. The hookah pipes are flexible and bendable tubes that allow the smoker to draw the smoke in from a distance. The length of the hookah pipes makes the warm smoke cool before the smoker inhales it. The ends of these Hookah pipes have mouthpieces that are steel, wood or plastic. The mouthpiece of the hookah pipes are what the smoker puts in his mouth to take the smoke in. This shows that the design of the hookah is technically sound. The hookah has evolved with time and so have the hookah pipes. Traditionally, the mouthpiece of these hookah pipes had a straight end instead of a round end. These were called the Sheik Hoses. These hookah pipes now have newer and rounder mouthpieces unlike the Sheik Hoses. The design of the Hookah pipes, depend on how comfortable they are for the smoker.

Due to their growing popularity, Hookah pipes come in many designs, shapes and sizes. There are categories of the modern hookah shisha, exotic hookah pipes and classic hookah pipes. One can even have hookah pipes that are custom made.  The manufacturers of hookahs are leaving no stone unturned to make the hookah as attractive as possible.

Every Hookah maker should thoroughly clean the Hookah pipes before each smoking session. This cleaning practice makes sure that no diseases or germs are transmitted through the hookah pipe and that the hookah experience is pleasant as well as healthy. Hookah pipes are thus washable, in order to ensure that they are cleaned properly before every session of hookah smoking.
In early days of its creation, the hookah was restricted to use by men only. It was created by the Mughal Empire where the men had a higher status which was depicted by their use of the hookah as well. Thus, the hookah was a status symbol at that time. However, with time, the monopoly of men over the hookah ended and now even the women can enjoy long sessions of conversation and gossip with Shisha pipes in hand. The hookahs are even serving as decorations in homes and thus the hookahs and hookah pipes need to be more decorative. The more stylish the hookah pipes, the more eye catching they will be. Each hookah now has a distinctive hookah pipe to construct a distinguishing characteristic for the hookah.

Smoking the hookah is a social activity that is readily accepted everywhere now. Friends have had playful fights over who gets his or her hands on the hookah pipes and breathe in the smoke from the hookah. Therefore, these are not just ordinary pipes! These are hookah pipes that are in great demand now days!

Shisha pipes - sweet and aromatic shisha smoke


Shisha smoking is becoming the favorite pass time of people living all around the world these days, although first being originated in Egypt shisha has now spread worldwide. Friends and colleagues enjoy having long conversations sitting in shisha parlors surrounded by the sweet and aromatic shisha smoke. When talking of shisha and shisha smoking one cannot deny the importance of the shisha pipes. A shisha pipe is one of the major parts of a shisha, this is where the smoke is originally filtered and then moistened with water. This pipe is what connects the smoker to his shisha during his aromatic 30- 60 minutes of shisha experience. The shisha pipe has been around for centuries now; it helped people relax as they puffed the aromatic smoke in and exhaled all their day’s worries and tensions out.

With time the shisha pipe has also undergone an evolution or transformation enabling it to suit to different cultures and traditions around the world. Decades ago ornamental shisha pipes were in vogue, special craftsmen were appointed to create special and decorative shisha pipes. The pipes were generally made from brass or any other such metal and added to the brass were ornaments, jewels, paints and different dyes. In the olden times shisha pipes were designed and styled to suit the individual needs of a shisha smoker. Nowadays however, these decorative and ornamental pipes have gone out of style. Comfort has definitely trumped decoration in this case, highly ornamental shisha pipes have almost become obsolete as they are too small and also don’t cool and filter smoke very well. Stainless steel shisha pipes are definitely in style these days, they work excellently when it comes to cooling and filtering the smoke.

Today, shisha pipes are available in many options- you can choose from single, double or multiple mouthpieces. A single mouthpiece is utilized for personal use while double and multiple mouthpieces are widely popular in social gatherings. You can also find in the market shisha pipes with disposable mouthpieces; these types are generally used in shisha cafes and parlors to keep the shisha Hookah experience safe and hygienic for all. Shisha enthusiasts and lovers never compromise when it comes to the quality of their shisha pipe as they understand the important function that it has to perform. A shisha pipe is responsible for mixing the smoke with the water and then cooling and filtering the aromatic shisha smoke. That is why careful consideration and inspection is given to the shisha pipe before a shisha is bought.

Shisha smoking is the newest trend seen almost all around the world these days. With the advent of shisha smoking, cigarette smoking seems to have been thrown out the window. Because unlike cigarettes shisha is all about companionship and bonding, it’s not just the smoke but the overall feel and experience of it that makes shisha smoking so amazing. Enjoy an aromatic shisha experience with your friends as this is the perfect way to enjoy and bond with them.

The hookah shisha – a smoky bit of tradition


A device that is today as common in Egyptian and Lebanese homes as the coffee machine is in American ones, the hookah shisha enjoys a rich and varied history shared by few other commodities. No one country can be proved to have single developed the hookah shisha, as India Turkey, Syria, Iran and Egypt, but the earliest records of hookah shisha have been traced back to the Indian subcontinent. It is quite possible that while all these countries developed some form of hookah shisha, traders and travelers took their respective hookah shishas with themselves wherever they went, and this helped standardize the form and design of the hookah shisha. The world’s biggest manufacturers of the hookah shisha today are the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey, Syria and Egypt.  The hookah shisha is known by different names such as the narghile in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Greece and Israel, and shisha in Persian and shisha in Urdu, both meaning glass.  It is popularly believed that the current design and form of the hookah shisha is of Turkish origin, since the hookah shisha gave Turkish craftsmen a new outlet for their creativity.

Hookah shisha in popular culture
The hookah shisha has found its way into popular culture as well. One of the earlier instances is the mention of the Caterpillar in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland smoking on a hookah. A similar character called Jabba the Hutt is seen smoking a hookah shisha in the ‘Return of the Jedi’. These are just two of many pop culture references for the hookah shisha, and there is all the likelihood that this will increase as its popularity grows in the western world. In the city of New York alone, there are 7 hookah shisha lounges named after the word narghile. More and more youngsters of non-Middle Eastern and Asian origin are picking up hookah shisha smoking as a safer and more fashionable alternative to cigarette smoking. The tobacco is not burned, only heated, and the smoke is filtered and cooled as it passes through the water. This produces less carcinogens than when tobacco is burned. The vapor is smooth and aromatic, nowhere as harsh as cigarette smoke. There are over 42 flavors now available ranging from bubble gum, apricot, grape and cherry; to cola, latte and honey. Some smokers have said that hookah shisha smoking has helped wean them off smoking cigarettes.

What is hookah shisha?
Shisha is the word for tobacco, but it is also known by other names such as moassel, tabac and gouza. The hookah is what is used to smoke the shisha.  The hookah is made up of 6 essential components, and a couple of optional ones. It operates by indirect heat and filtering of the smoke through water. The activity is considered to be more of a social activity than a tobacco addiction.

While many places in the US and UK have witnessed bans on indoor smoking in public places, a few areas allow hookah shisha lounges to operate under special licenses. Some lounges have switched from tobacco-based shisha to herbal alternatives to remain open and more comfortable to health-conscious customers. This ban on indoor smoking has also led to a rise in online sales of hookah shisha and made it a new avenue for business.

HOOKAH TOBACCO


People enjoy hookah for their leisurely enjoyment, nowadays we often see hookah smokers sitting around in street cafes and restaurants smoking their troubles away exhaling large puffs of sweet smelling smoke of the hookah tobacco which is unlike any other tobacco.  Hookah tobacco is essentially a damp blend referred to as maassel, this blend contains tobacco leaves with molasses or honey and fruit pulp or semi dried fruit depending upon the taste of the smoker. It is also a common practice among some smokers to include pomegranate juice or rose oil to this blend to add extra flavor to the Hookah tobacco. As hookah made its way into the Western society many new and aromatic fruit flavors introduced the hookah fruit flavored tobacco, which is now the most famous.

Although many traditional hookah smokers do enjoy the more traditional hookah tobacco, but most people nowadays enjoy puffing the dark flavorsome wet mixture of aromatic hookah fruit tobacco which comes in outstanding flavors such as vanilla, apple, mint, lemon, passion fruit, raspberry, guava and this succulent list just goes on and on. Hookah tobacco is mainly seventy percent molasses and flavoring and just thirty percent tobacco, .5 percent nicotine and most types of hookah tobacco contain almost no tar content, this mix is what gives the tobacco its aromatic and delicious quality. As hookah tobacco by composition is wet so it is smoked with the help of a hookah charcoal. Instead of lighting the tobacco directly, it is heated with the help of a coal placed in a tin foil or a wire mesh which is positioned either above or in the bowl holding the wet mixture of tobacco. Once lit properly this wet tobacco lasts a smoker a very long time, mostly requiring the coal to be lit again and again. In Hookah etiquette it is considered very disrespectable if anyone lights a cigarette near a place where a hookah is being enjoyed, cigarette tobacco is not tolerated by Hookah smokers in their aromatic environment.   

Hookah tobacco is not only aromatic but it also has no harmful effects on the smoker, as the tobacco is never actually burned but just heated it produces a fewer number of carcinogens which have the most harmful results on the smoker. So, the next time a trouble worries you just mix up your favorite blend of fruit with your hookah tobacco and just puff all your troubles out of you to disappear literally into the thin air.
