I love hookah, there is shisha bare near me that offer really good flavors, like this https://www.swisscubancigars.com/ . You can get single or a combo. I like mint and peach the most.
I bought a few hookahs and some shisha, but gave it away when I moved. It was too much of a pain to set up, for one, but the biggest reason was that I found the candied flavor and sweetness of most shisha just to be way too over the top to me, and not to my liking, for the same reason that I don’t like most really sweet aromatic pipe tobaccos.
I just placed the order to revamp my Hookah. I got the Romman shisha. @BarkingLeopard , What happened to mine is that I moved and left the hoses! My stem has connections for three hoses, but I just ordered two, some plugs and the lot with Romman shisha. I got free shipping, from the store. www.hookah-shisha.com/ They have some pretty cool deals and a rewards point system, interesting store for anyone who wants to check it out. First time ordering with them for me.
I always thought it would be cool to have a go on one of these, then I read this report: http://www.who.int/tobacco/global\_interaction/tobreg/Waterpipe%20recommendation\_Final.pdf If I’m gonna smoke, I’d really rather stick to ciggies.
@vostok I don’t see anything in that report that one would not already see amongst the cdc.gov warnings, tobacco abolitionist sites and general tom foolers. It would seem through out the research it always leads back to ambiguous statements such as “Water pipe tobacco is not a safe alternative to cigarettes,” with no proof or reasoning, as one would think a scientific essay should say. Also that the back up is that “Water does not filter carbon-monoxide, toxicants, etc.”. Well, I would suppose that the water is to tame the harshness and cool the smoke down. The article just describes the instrument, the method of burning, and slightly to topic of tobacco in general. Everyone should assume that yes, tobacco products are unhealthy in regarded terms of smoking, second hand smoke, and for pregnant consumers. The article is completely repetitive to the just the points of the harms of cigarette smoking. Another thing I always note that was drilled in during psychology classes/ science classes is that no research should be considered definitive, as while the Anti-Smoking Health Aficionados always suggest that any evidence or scrape of numbers should be written in stone. But I like cigarettes also. Nasal snuffs more now, but soon (tomorrow) shall be also enjoying my Shisha. I haven’t smoked cigs in quite some time, and my brain seems to have a hard wired want for smoke. I was thinking of hoping to grab medwakh pipe and some Dokha tobacco, to actually replace the want for cigs.
Also I think it would be another downer on people if they took away Shisha bars in America. Kind of sad really, I don’t think they should regulate that. Camel had tried to produce a cigarette lounge in Chicago, which probably would have been very fancy. They put it down. 
I think there should be laws of obvious, meaning that obtaining a job at a location of such does come with inherent risk, but, that should be on the individual obtaining work there, or the consumers who patron there. Not to go into politics, as there is rule against it, but I think it takes the “Nanny State” to a whole’nother meaning. They are lobbying against everything right now; e-cigs, shisha, dipping snuffs, nasal snuffs, anything that pertains to tobacco. “Coming to a town near you, red flags with shurikens.” haha.
@Erik_the_Red: you carry on with your shisha if you want; that’s entirely up to you. I agree with you about the nanay-state aspects of smoking legislation, especially as I live in a country where it’s illegal to smoke in certain bus shelters, and now Parliament has passed a law making it illegal for parents to smoke in their cars when their children are travelling with them. How this is even remotely enforceable, and how government doesn’t think the police ought to have higher priorities are beyond me. I simply expressed the personal opinion that I won’t partake. I loathe cigars, but don’t want to see them banned. I just won’t smoke them. Neither do I want to use something that also contributes charcoal smoke to my lungs, or that can give me the equivalent smoke and tar inhalation levels of 100cigs in one session. Yes you’re right, the report does say that the water doesn’t reduce the harm - the point the report makes is that originally shisha-smoking was introduced in some areas (notably India), due to the erroneous belief that the water did do that, and that this erroneous belief still persists among shisha-users in certain places. So carry on if you want; enjoy. I won’t be joining you, because I’m convinced it’s worse for me than smoking cigs, which is up to me.
I just got into it again recently. I bought a sahara smoke candy stripe hookah at my local shop for $100.00, I usually enjoy starbuzz shisha because thats the most readily available. I really like lemon mint, blue mist, peach, and sex on the beach.
Went to a hookah bar once with some friends, years ago. It was fun, but I wont do it again because I’m no longer interested in smoking any kind of tobacco.
I loved smoking shisha when I travelled in north Africa. Brought one home and used to use it a lot. Apple was by far my favourite flavour. When done right it’s a gorgeous silky smooth smoking experience. Having now stopped smoking I reckon if I went over there again I would still partake, for old times’ sake.
I know this an old post…but a relative just brought me a shisha pipe and a bunch of tobacco from Egypt. Double apple, and 4 more flavors. Its nice, and the smoke is pleasant, but it gave me a sore throat. I like snuff much more. I wonder if I could dry the tobacco out and make snuff…
I really liked it but the last few times I used my hookah it gave me a raging headache. @mrmanos I believe it is soaked in molasses and honey. It would be pretty tough to dry out. I could be wrong. But, it cant hurt to try I guess.
