Shisha Shops in the U.S.

By John McCree


As hookahs are getting common all over the U.S., hookah bars and hookah shops are increasing in the country. Exposure to shisha and its relaxing experience continues to drive demand for shisha suppliers. Almost all of the demand is fulfilled by online shops. That's not to imply that the local neighborhood shisha shop doesn't have its place. It has a great deal of sales. Shisha shops tend to be heavily concentrated in the same type of areas where hookah lounges are located; larger ethnic urban centers, and near universities and colleges.

Exactly What Can I Find at Shisha Shops?

A shisha store sells everything that is used for smoking shisha. In a shisha store you can find hookah accessories as well ash hookah parts and a wide selection of flavored tobacco. Popular store items consist of:

1. Shisha tobacco - The actual substance to be smoked, typically flavored with fruit or some other flavor blends, is available at the shop. Because of the development in manufacturing processes, it has become really simple to add ingredients to tobacco during manufacturing 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. Your choice depends on how you want to use your hookah. If you would like your hookah to double as a decoration piece, you should buy an elegant hookah pipe. If you want to take your hookah with you when traveling, a smaller hookah pipe would be more suitable for you.

3. Charcoal - If there is no coal, there is no smoke. Therefore, most shisha shops carry a selection of charcoals as well. It might seem that charcoals are all the same, but it is not the case. Some charcoals are "self-lighting", allowing the smoker to light one portion of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. Other kinds of charcoal may need to be heated in fire or a charcoal heater. It is argued that the latter is preferable to the former as it burns for longer and offers an optimum temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - There is a long list of stuff that can be added to a hookah for fashion or for function. Two of the most used accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen can be used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the connecting parts.

Internet Shisha Stores

You can also buy shisha products on the web. Nevertheless, purchasing goods on the Internet has some disadvantages:

1. Have to wait several days before item arrives

2. Items can't be checked physically before purchase

3. Can't see all the options closely

Online buying is best when the purchaser is more experienced and knows what flavor he or she would like, which brands he trusts, and is willing to wait a few days for the purchase to come.

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