Nous aimerions que tout le monde ait le plaisir de fumer nos narguilés (houkas), mais nos clients doivent avoir 18 ans ou plus

Notre tabac de Chicha le plus populaire, fourni par “Nakhla”, provient d’une petite ville de province égyptienne située le long du Nil, qui s’appelle SHEBIN EL-KOM. Le créateur de la chicha de Nakhla, SALEH MOHAMED EL-IBIARY, y a ouvert un magasin en 1913. Assez tôt, SALEH MOHAMED EL-IBIARY et SHEBIN EL-KOM sont devenus des noms connus pour les connaisseurs de chicha dans la région. 100 ans plus tard, la chicha savoureuse et subtilement mélangée de SALEH MOHAMED EL-IBIARY, faite de mêlasse, glycérine et huiles essentielles parfumées n’a pas de concurrence dans le monde entier. Parmi les plus fameuses saveurs de chicha de “Nakla” il y a la pomme-cerise et fakhfakhina.

Le massell est une sorte de tabac utilisé pour fumer la chicha – Nargila, Argila, Boury et Gouza. C’est un mélange de feuilles de tabac international. Ce mélange donne un arôme et un goût spéciaux ajouté aux molasses extraits de la canne à sucre et autres additifs. Le Service des Normes et de la Régularisation a statué que ces additifs étaient adéquats pour fumer.

L’utilisation du massell en Egypte a été introduite pendant l’occupation des Ottomans au début du 19ème siècle. Cette idée vient des Ottomans qui fumaient la chicha qu’ils avaient apportée avec eux de Turquie. Ils fumaient ce qu’ils appelaient “Tombak”; une qualité de tabac plantée en Turquie et en Iran où sa préparation ne nécessite pas de processus technique – artisanat – et où la qualité dépend du tabac utilisé.

En ces temps là les Egyptiens aimaient imiter les Turcs dans le développement des choses qu’ils voyaient et qui accompagnaient leur vie ; dans les domaines de l’industrie, de l’agriculture et de la culture. Le problème pour les Egyptiens restait d’où faire venir la chicha et le tabac.

Ils ont donc commencé à réfléchir à la façon de la remplacer.Ils firent venir le fruit du cocotier et y firent deux trous pour en extraire le sirop et ils utilisèrent ensuite un bâton de bambou comme substitut pour en faire un tube en caoutchouc. Le haggar était fait d’argile cuite, sur lequel on plaçait le tabac. C’est ainsi que le procédé de fabrication de la chicha fut lancé avec succès et les Egyptiens l’appelèrent Gouza comme le nom en arabe du fruit du cocotier.

History Of The Nargila

The nargila pipe, which is sometimes called a hookah or shisha pipe (other spellings include hooka, narghile, and sheesha), has been used around the world for centuries. Nargila and shisha are the terms used in the Middle East and Arabic countries, with ‘nargile’ being the common word for the pipe in Turkey. ‘Hookah’ is the word used in the country of origin: India. Since its creation, the pipe has become a pastime for recreation and socializing around the world, spreading to the United States in the twentieth century.The hookah was invented in India some time in the 16th century. Tobacco was brought to India by Europeans and quickly became popular among the rich and landed classes. The hookah was invented as a tool to try to lessen the negative health effects of smoking tobacco. In theory, the hookah works like this: Smoke is passed through water at the base of the pipe, which removes impurities – for instance dissolving some of the nicotine from the smoke – resulting in a cleaner smoke.The nargila is a central part of many cultures in the Middle East, as well as still being hugely popular in India. It is thought that the original pipes from India were fairly simple devices made of coconut shell, and it was in Turkey and the Middle East that the pipe was crafted into something closer to what we recognize today. In most countries throughout the Middle East there are hookah cafes, similar to a coffe shop in the Western world. Friends gather together to smoke and chat. These cafes had begun to pop up in other European countries and the United States in recent decades, however their growth has been stunted by new bans on smoking in public throughout many European countries and the US.Hookah lounges and cafes are particularly popular in Western countries with college students looking to embrace some exotic culture. Smoking in this way first started to catch on in the States in the 1960s, largely due to the hippie generation and the anti-Vietnam war movement. Many people emphasize the social aspect of smoking the nargila. The experience is more about enjoying time with friends and less based on an addictive need to smoke, as with cigarettes. However, while hookah tobacco generally contains less nicotine than cigarettes, because of the volume of smoke that is often consumed in a hookah smoking session it is still possible to develop a nicotine dependence if you don’t smoke in moderation.

Substances used for smoking hookah need not be completely dry. The most commonly used substance (known as tobamel or maassel) is a 1:2 mixture of tobacco with a sweet substance such as honey, molasses, or semi-dried fruit. Originally tobacco was mixed with one of these sweeteners to form jurak (e.g. Zhaghoul brand), a flavorless, moistened tobacco. Fruit-flavored shisha got its start in the late 1980s when Egyptian tobacco companies experimented with flavored tobacco as a way to transition people away from cigarette smoking. Today, shisha tobacco comes in many flavours, such as apple, strawberry, melon, cappuccino or mint, and is often mixed with dried fruit extracts.

In a hookah, tobamel (maassel) is not directly ignited but is heated to a high temperature using lit coals. These coals rest on a metal mesh or perforated aluminum foil which covers a clay or metal bowl containing the tobacco. When a user inhales through the hose, the coals heat the shisha, producing smoke. The smoke then enters the body of the hookah, passing through a glass receptacle containing water which filters and cools the smoke. The smoker inhales this smoke through a long hose with a mouth piece. This filtration is suggested to filter out, in part, tar and nicotine from the tobacco. However, most brands of shisha tobacco generally contain a mention saying “no tar” and very small amounts of nicotine (0.5%) to begin with.

Due to the mechanics of the hookah, multi-person hookahs exist, where multiple hoses lead to a single tobacco chamber. These are popular in the Western world where hookah smoking is a social phenomenon.

Will environmental health service people come to my sheesha lounge after 7pm?

I have a sheesha bar and I open at 7pm every day. I was meant to get a visit from the environmental health service, but I do not know if they will come out after 7pm. Is it possible they would pay a visit to my sheesha lounge after 7pm?

Sadly, I cannot offer a definitive yes or no to your question. Maybe you’ll get one, but how would you know it was true? Better ring them up, pretend to be somebody else and attempt to glean the info from the source.

With a little luck, they’ll leave you alone. Health regulations today are so excessive, it’s not funny anymore. People know well enough that the system is stupid. They avoid the bad places all by themselves. After all, there would be no penalty if I got a sandwich which tasted of bleach, because that’s supposed to be a good thing, but if your bare hand touches it, I can sue you. Where’s the logic? In India you can get beautiful snacks cooked for you at the side of the road in filthy little stalls, but it makes no difference to the food quality, which is generally tremendously good.

Meanwhile, we have all these allergies because we live in pristine environments with no germs at all, so the slightest thing messes our immune system right up. Go figure.

Sheesha/Hookah: If I mix Vodka or Whiskey etc, with the water in my pipe, will I get drunk?

Sheesha/Hookah: If I mix Vodka or Whiskey etc, with the water in my hookah pipe, will I get drunk? :)

Not unless you drink it afterwards!

Seriously, when you replace the water in your hookah with liquor, you will only experience the flavor the alcohol, none of the alcohol itself. Have you seen breathalyzers online? Just for fun, get yourself one, get a reading before you smoke, and get another reading after you smoke. You’ll find that, unless you actually drank some alcohol while you were smoking, you will get the same reading on the second round as you did on the first.

Cannot taste sheesha when smoking?

I cannot taste sheesha when smoking. When you smoke, how do you taste when you inhale; i.e., does the flavour fill in your mouth quite strongly? If I’m smoking double apple, should I be able to taste it directly in my mouth? Because I can’t taste anything. I use proper tobacco (Al fakher) and I set it up correctly. Should I pack more into the bowl and mix the sheesha up before using?

It sounds like you’re doing everything right. How old is the tobacco? If it’s under two years old, are the leaves dry on top? If so, yeah, you’ll need to mix up the sheesha before you pack it. If that still doesn’t work, try a different sheesha.

Since smoking decreases your sense of smell and taste, perhaps that your problem.=)

Shisha Review – White Grape By Golden Layalina

I don’t personally like this flavor - it tastes like cough syrup. Some of the other brands of grape sheesha are good, but not this one. It only gets 4/10.

How long does unused, sealed shisha/hookah tobacco keep for?

I have some which was bought 7 months ago. I opened some a little while ago and it smelled fine, but how long does unopened (sealed) shisha tobacco keep? Is it dangerous to use it after that point?

The rule of thumb is 2 years from manufacturing date. Although most tobacco companies are not putting the dates on any more. So the general rule of thumb is 2 years from when you bought it.

After the 2 years it’s still good. It doesn’t become toxic or anything. The only problems is there will be some flavor loss and it might have dried out some. Just add a Tablespoon of Honey or Glycerin to it and mix it up. I have smoked some shishas 5-6 years old. Still good if sealed in airtight containers.

Hookah Review – Smoking Hookah on the Beach

hobohookah.com – for all of your hookah gear.

How to smoke sheesha on the Jersey shore beach.

First, you have to take precautions against the wind. Perhaps a sand castle for protection? You’ll definitely need to bring along the right amount of foil and hookah coals. But the most important aspect is who you bring along. Bring all your posse members to any hookah session, on the beach, at the hookah lounge, at home, or wherever.
