What is an oriental hookah?

Was ist eine orientalische Wasserpfeife? - Dschinni GmbH

Exotic hookahs , often referred to as hookahs or shishas, ​​have their roots in nations such as Egypt and Turkey, but have also been growing in popularity on the European continent for some time. The distinction between hookahs and conventional cigarettes or pipes lies in many dimensions, with the most striking difference being found in the tobacco on the one hand and the smoking method on the other. The tobacco used for oriental hookahs is characterized by a significantly higher moisture content compared to ordinary pipe tobacco.

The construction of a shisha remains essentially constant. It includes a water reservoir, a smoke column (often artistically designed), a hose and the so-called shisha head. The tobacco is heated by the coal in the shisha bowl . When you pull on the hose, the hot smoke is passed from the bowl through the smoke column and the water in the shisha glass, whereby it reaches the smoker cooled. The variety of flavors can vary considerably, with fruity varieties in particular often being highly valued.

Enjoying an oriental water pipe is rarely a solitary activity. Rather, it is a social endeavor. Hookahs are often offered in specialized shisha bars, but regular connoisseurs are recommended to purchase their own exotic hookah , as this significantly increases cost efficiency.
