al-waha-apricot

I've been revisiting Al Waha a lot recently and I've been pretty happy with the results. Al Waha Apricot is the latest tobacco on the menu and I'm not entirely disappointed. I know that this is a gigantic surprise, but the smell in the package is similar to dried apricots. I'd say that's a good

Traditional Tobacco; Where do I start?

I was sent a PM a few days ago asking for some advice on starting to smoke traditional and I felt that more people could benefit from a little introduction. Where do we start? Price. Traditional tobaccos are usually pretty cheap and that's . That's one of the nicest things about smoking things

Coco Nara Hookah Coals

Coconut charcoal has become the standard by which we judge all other charcoal and this is the brand that really started the movement. These coals were brought to the market in 2005 and were first introduced in Lebanon, but soon spread to the rest of the Middle East and was later brought to the USA.

Fabulous Hookahs for the Fabulously Rich

On this episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, we bypass the expansive houses, the bountiful car collections, and the exquisitely manicured lawns in order to take a closer look at what these sultans, queens, and pimpin' high rollers are smoking out of. Think you spent too much on that Khalil

I'll admit that I have not given Al Waha the time of day in the better part of 6 years. I had written off the brand as low quality and not worth trying, but they have changed their formula as of late and I just tried Al Waha Lemon and I'm happy with what I discovered. This is definitely a modern

Nakhla Peach Shisha Review

Oh how I love a good peach specially a Nakhla one. It always seemed like fresh peaches had a window of about an hour in which they were ripe. Any sooner and it was like eating a potato. Any later and it's a pile of mush and rot. Even so, I waited impatiently and loved that first peach of the season

Vanilla is a flavor that is often used to represent plainness and boredom, which is not what I'm looking for in my hookah sessions. You all know Nakhla and their reputation for natural flavors of high quality. So, how did they do with vanilla? Not as well as I was hoping. Vanilla is a subtle

Nakhla Mix Brandy Shisha Review

nakhla-mix

Brandy is not my usual drink of choice, but I have been known to take up the snifter from time to time. A touch of brandy helps warm the winter nights... here in southern California. The little bit of brandy I enjoy does give me enough of a grasp on the flavor of brandy to judge a brandy flavored

Why Is My Hookah Tobacco Red?

red-hookah-tobacco

The beads of crimson ichor runs down your fingers as you look upon your grisly work. Once clean and pristine, the top of her neck is now a mass of sanguine shreds and your hands are stained like Lady Macbeth. Stupid dye. Hookah tobacco and red dye seem to go hand in hand. Whether it's mint,

Should I Glue My Bowl Back Together?

It's one of those awful moments that shisha smokers truly dread. You desperately want to smoke your hookah, but your bowl take a long walk off a shot dock and you don't have a spare. So, can you put your bowl back together with a little glue? Oh god, no. Please please, please do not try to
