Arabian Nights
History Of Shisha.........
Shisha is a Middle-Eastern smoking tradition that began hundreds of years
before the invasion of the big American cigarette companies and is one of
the most common and interesting sites of the Arab World. There are numerous
cafes where one can lie on long cushions and spend the time talking to your
friends and enjoying this Arab delight. Tobacco is soaked in fruit shavings such
as strawberry, apples or grapes. This mixture is then smoked through a large
water pipe (called a hookah). Men and women of the upper classes in the Arab
world have been entertaining guests with hookah pipes for centuries. Moreover,
there are hoards of Shisha purists who truly cherish this tradition no less than
a Japanese tea Master or Matron.With the invention of the hookah or "shisha"
over 500 years ago, the Turks refined smoking to an artful and elegant ceremonial
experience to be shared in the company of friends.
The hookah uses a small charcoal tablet to gently heat a special, flavor-infused tobacco blend
. The tobacco never burns, but is filtered as it is drawn through the water-filled
, hand-blown glass base and inhaled through ornate, embroidered hoses. The vapor
is incredibly smooth, sweet and aromatic
