Default ****Any Hookah smokers here?****

So does anyone else enjoy an occasional smoke from a Nargile, aka Hookah? Im talking about flavored Tobacco which is known as Shisha in middle eastern countries. What flavors and brands do you guys like to smoke? If you want you guys can post pics of your hookahs or hookah hubs.

**These are not used for smoking illegal substances. This is an old ancient technique for relaxation. Hookah smoking was discovered way before tobacco was smoked through pipes and cigars back in the 1700's.****

I tried it once and thought it was actually pretty cool. I didnt even know the flavor that it was, but I liked it, and I hate smoking. Its more of a bong though rather than cigarette smoking.

What do you like Mark?

whoops, i forgot to post a pic of my hookah hub. I have been smoking hookah for about 2 years now. I have over 2000g of shisha and 4 hookahs. The stuff pictured is only my daily usage of stuff. I refill those little tubs every now and then.

Well techinically it is a Water-pipe. Bong's have a negative connotation towards illegal substances so we try not to use the word "bong" when refffering to a hookah.

Personal favorites are Watermelon and White Peach from Fumari down in San Diego. I like Al Fahker coconut, grape, sour apple.

I tried it once at a middle estern restaurant down the street from me...good times.

Last time I was in Westwood near UCLA, there was this trendy place that had snooty people smoke those things at every table with outdoor seating and everything....I actually thought it looked kinda goofy

I've tried it once. Its very relaxing. I forget the flavor, i was stoned prior to having it. I don't smoke weed, pot, whatever anymore. I do smoke cigarettes, bad habit but, it happens. Back to topic, nice set up you have. I'll have to try it again since i don't really remember what it was like. Already relaxed that night. lol

-Rico, when youre in the area, give me a call man. I've got the best flavors available. I'll definately share a bowl with you bro!

This stuff is actually very relaxing. For those that havent tried, should try it at least once. Im not a cigarette smoker and hate the taste of cigarettes but the hookah is something totally different.

Not to put a damper on the enthusiasm, but since I really don't know anything about this and am curious, does it have the same effects on health as other kinds of smoking?

not to be "mr. downer guy", but i smoked cigs (up to 2 packs a day) for way too many years, starting as a teen, then i added weed throughout the college years, then added cuban cigars on the golf course a bit later in life, and finally decided i apparently wasn't designed to act as a smoke filter.

it sounds fun and "trendy" and all, but for me, smoke is done.

the room looks cool though.

Being its a lace type of tobacco, it would have long term effects. Not as dangerous though, its not atticting like your cigarette tobacco. The flavor can be, but its not. heh. Its good stuff im sure, i'll have to try it again..

If we ever meet up bBoxd you'll have to share some with me. I'll pay you for the trouble. heh.

Yea well, since it is so recently new to the US there are still studies being done to test how bad this stuff is. But the way i look at it. Anything in moderation cant be too bad for you. I used to smoke 2-3 bowls everyday and i figured i shouldnt be doing that. Now im only smoking 1-2 times every other week.

btw- Hookah smoke does not have any of the harsh chemical carcinogens that are in Cigarettes.

killerxromances- Yo, i got a bowl waiting for you right here man.

Cool man, thanks. Whenever i come out your way i'll let you know. I'd like to go to L.A to visit the Elliott Smith memorial wall sometime soon. I'm stuck debating once i pay my credit down, to boost my motor or take a trip to cali for a while and make a road trip out of it. Whenever i do, i'll hit up Nor Cal.

Whats your favorite flavor?

Cya
