Shisha Shop

By John McCree


These days, you can see quite a few hookah bars and hookah shops in the U.S. mainly because of the popularity of hookahs. There is an increasing demand of hookahs and shisha in the market. However, as with virtually any physical product of the modern day, shisha sales and distribution are driven more and more by the online marketplace. It doesn't mean that a local shisha shop doesn't have any sales. It has a great deal of sales. Shisha shops tend to be more heavily concentrated in the same kind of areas where hookah lounges are located; larger ethnic towns, and near universities and colleges.

So What Can I Find at these Shops?

You can find everything associated with shisha in a shisha store. In a shisha shop you can get hookah accessories as well ash hookah components and a wide selection of flavored tobacco. Four things that you will get in nearly every shisha store are:

1. Tobacco - The actual substance to be smoked, usually flavored with fruit or other flavor blends, can be found at the shop. With the advancement in production processes, it has become really simple to add ingredients to tobacco in the course of production and you can find a wide variety of unique flavors.

2. Hookah Pipes - It is the smoking device that is used to purify and inhale shisha smoke. A lot of different styles, shapes and sizes can be found in hookah pipes. A few are larger with several hoses, some are smaller with travel case designed for consistent travel, while others are even perfect as stylish household adornments in addition to smoking devices.

3. Charcoal - One of the most essential things for smoking shisha is coal. Therefore, the majority of shisha shops carry a selection of charcoals too. It might seem that charcoals are all the same, but it is incorrect. Some charcoals are "self-lighting", allowing the smoker to light one part of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. Other charcoals should be heated in a fire or by a special charcoal heater. It is argued that the latter surpasses the former as it burns for longer and provides an optimum temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - Hoses, bowls, bases, stems, wind covers, trays, mouth tips, and cleaning materials, the accessories encompass anything related to hookah smoking that facilitates or enhances the experience. Shisha shops often have clearance sales on equipment that are a little damaged, or items they just wish to move to be able to get more shelf space.

Present Day Shisha Shops

If you are not able to find a shisha shop in your area, you can buy shisha and shisha products on the web. Nevertheless, buying goods on the Internet has some disadvantages:

1. Must wait a couple of days before item arrives

2. Can't smell the shisha flavors before buying

3. Can't see products firsthand and ask questions to the vendor before selecting

Online purchasing is best when the purchaser is more experienced and knows what flavor he or she wants, which brands he trusts, and is prepared to wait a couple of days for the purchase to come.

A quick Google search can show up many online stores that sell hookah and shisha products.
