Shisha Shop

By John McCree


These days, you can see quite a few hookah bars and hookah shops in the U.S. primarily because of the rise in popularity of hookahs. The calming effect of shisha is among the reasons why hookah and shisha demand are going up. As with every other product in the current times, most of the shisha sales take place on the net. It does not mean that a local shisha shop does not have any sales. It definitely does. Shisha shops tend to be more heavily concentrated in the same type of areas where hookah lounges are located; larger ethnic towns, and near colleges and universities.

What Can I Find at Shisha Shops?

Generally, any item associated with smoking shisha can be found at a store. This includes all the parts of the smoking device, commonly referred to as the "hookah", as well as maintenance materials, and the shisha tobacco itself. Popular store items consist of:

1. Shisha tobacco - The flavorful tobacco that is burnt in the hookah is called shisha. The flavors are usually fruit based. Some preferred brands are Starbuzz, Fantasia and Nakhla, while some of the most widely used flavors are banana split, mango and pink lemonade.

2. Hookah Pipes - The smoking device utilized to purify and inhale the shisha smoke. You can various sizes, shapes and price ranges in hookah pipes. Some pipes are designed elegantly to be used as an ornamental piece in the house, while some are large with several hoses that can be used for multiple smokers in one shisha session.

3. Charcoal - Without fire, hookahs would be impossible to smoke. Since coal is so important, it is available at almost each and every shisha store. As straightforward as it may seem, charcoals can have considerably different features. You will find self igniting charcoal that needs to be light on one side and the remaining charcoal burns itself. There are charcoals that need to be heated in a charcoal heater or in a fire. Most point out that self lighting charcoals burn out quickly and that the temperature of the charcoal isn't optimal resulting in chemical taste in a hookah session.

4. Hookah Accessories - Hoses, bowls, bases, stems, wind covers, trays, mouth tips, and cleaning materials, the accessories entail anything associated with hookah smoking that facilitates or enhances the experience. Two of the most used accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen is used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the connecting parts.

Web Based Shisha Stores

You can also buy shisha products on the web. However, purchasing goods on the Internet has a few disadvantages:

1. You'll have to wait several days for the product to arrive

2. Products cannot be examined physically before purchase

3. Can't see all the choices closely

Online purchasing is ideal when the buyer is more experienced and knows what flavor he or she would like, which brands he trusts, and is ready to wait a couple of days for the purchase to arrive.

If this sounds like a route you are ready to take, a simple Google search can lead you to some fantastic resources to facilitate a purchase.
