Shisha Flavors

By John McCree


Do you want a shisha flavor that fits your taste? In this article, we will discuss how you can find and buy the correct kind of shisha flavor for yourself.

The flavorful tobacco, which is usually used in a hookah is commonly referred to as shisha. Present day shisha includes all or some of the following things:

1. Tobacco

2. Treacle (uncrystallized syrup produced in refining sugar)

3. Honey

4. Sugar

5. Molasses

6. Glycerin

7. Nicotine

8. Dried Fruit

9. Distilled Water

The producers have been experimenting a lot lately and they have produced some truly creative flavors such as Fantasia's "Cuban Mojito". Even so, fruit flavors are still the most popular flavors among hookah smokers. Many of the new flavors use a fruit flavor as the base. For example, Blueberry Muffin or Pink Lemonade certainly have their roots in a fruity base.

Shisha flavors have become versatile because of the relative ease of flavoring during production. The dried tobacco, glycerin, and sweetener can be combined with essentially any ingredients to produce special flavors.

Social Smoking

Hookah is commonly shared in a social environment where the smokers may gather for friendly conversation and to enjoy the fragrance produced by the flavored shisha smoke. Hookahs grew popular in the Middle Eastern countries quickly and these smoking devices quickly became an important part of all drinking and eating establishments. Today they are seen in places from smoking parlors, to nightclubs, to the home.

The smoke from hookah has a calming impact on the smoker, which is one of the main reasons why it became popular quickly. As a contrast to cigarettes, hookah smoking is done more as a social pursuit and for the flavor, instead of for any sort of biological impact. Cigarettes in contrast are addictive and give a quick fix with a high dose of nicotine. While a hookah session lasts longer than a cigarette, the former isn't addictive for the smoker.

Getting the Most Flavor from Your Hookah

No rocket science here, just some good common sense and discipline can go a long way when it comes to getting the most from your hookah. The first and most critical thing is to clean your device regularly. You need to wash your hookah meticulously using warm water after each use.

If you want to enjoy a smooth smoking session then you need to stop the charcoal from burning up the tobacco in the middle of the session. The tobacco should not get stuck to the foil, better yet, the tobacco shouldn't even touch the aluminum foil. When you're packing the bowl, leave a few millimeters between the top of your tobacco and the plane created by the rim of the bowl. In this way, when you will wrap the foil on the top of the rim, there'll be distance between the aluminum foil and tobacco. You may also place two toothpicks crossed on top of the pile to ensure space between the shisha and foil. Additionally, while "packing" the bowl, don't pack the tobacco down tightly. A loose mound of tobacco that will allow the air to pass through it is excellent. Doing this, you'll be able to get a flavorful hit without having to strongly puff on the hose. Many people also use two sheets of aluminum foil to prevent overheating. The principle is simple don't burn the shisha.
