SHISHA

Shisha is the most common name for the tobacco smoked in a hookah. Shisha generally consists of tobacco mixed with flavoured molasses giving the shisha a rich aromatic flavour and scent. We offer over 100 different flavors of shisha from some of the world's top manufacturers of hookah tobacco including Starbuzz, Social Smoke and Fantasia. And for those who would like to enjoy smoking hookah without the nicotine, we also offer many Non-Tobacco, Non-Nicotine options. Enjoy the same hookah experience without the tobacco or nicotine!

Hookah Tips...

• Shisha tobacco can be stored at room temperature, but must be kept in an air tight container to prevent it from drying and losing its flavour. Shisha will last even longer if refrigerated in an airtight container.
• Placing ice cubes in the base of your hookah making the water ice cold before smoking can make for a smoother, more mellow, enjoyable smoking experience.
• Liquids other than water can be used as well. Milk & cream will cause the smoke to be much thicker. Experiment with juices, wines, liquors and other liquids. Try mixing lemon juice, orange juice, or other flavours into the water to enhance the taste of your hookah smoking experience.
  Combining shisha with honey can provide a satisfying hookah smoke. You can even Squeeze a lemon or lime in during the summer.
• Shisha tends to clump up because of it's consistency & moistness. After packing the bowl, be sure to stir up the shisha or crumble it up in your fingers to spread it evenly throughout the bowl.
• Use a charcoal screen to cover the bowl or aluminum foil.
  
  - Use a square of aluminum foil, large enough to cover the open top of the bowl.
  - Wrap the foil over the top of the bowl so that the surface is tight (it helps to make sure the reflective side is facing down so that it directs more heat from the charcoal).
  - Use something pointed (i.e. a toothpick or a pipe poker) to poke small holes in the foil. This will allow the heat to transfer to the tobacco more quickly.
  - (optional) Hold down the foil on top of the bowl with the palm of your hand and blow through the bottom of the bowl. Release your hand and blow just a little longer. This will prevent shisha from getting into the holes of the bowl and will make your hookah pull better.
  - note: Aluminum foil or charcoal screens are NOT actually necessary. Using foil or a screen is to prevent the charcoal taste from contaminating your shisha as well as preventing the ash from falling into and mixing with the tobacco. Using a hookah without any foil or a charcoal screen will char the tobacco around the charcoal, effectively creating a shield between the coal(s) and the shisha. X close
• There are many types of coals available for hookah smoking. My Tobacconist Smoke Shop sells Holland, Coco Nara, Al Fakher, Fujima, Luxor, Fantasia and Starbuzz coals plus many other brands of hookah charcoals. Discover for yourself which brand you prefer.
• Hold the coal with the tongs provided with your hookah. Be sure to light the charcoals OUTSIDE. They usually create an unpleasant amount of smoke and may spark or shoot off embers as they light.
• Place the charcoal on the foil or charcoal screen once it is fully lit.
• Combining different flavours of shisha can be very satisfying. Banana and strawberry is very good, so is lemon and mango. Mint mixed with other flavours adds a cool refreshing taste.
• When finished smoking, be sure to blow out any lingering smoke from the hoses. This will extend the life of the hose and help prevent inhaling unpleasant surprises next time.
