r/hookah

Me? I’m locked in with lime + sparkling water. Simple, crispy, and it keeps the vibe clean the whole time 🍋✨

I'm getting a little older so I tried my hand at some cigars. Made sure I got respectful stuff (Montecristo, Davidoff, etc). Also made sure I started off light with Connecticut wrappers.

TLDR: While I can see myself enjoying these on occasion, I don't see how these are a daily habit for some folks.

With a hookah, all you have to do is crack a window, turn on a fan, and you'd never know you had a session. Smoked a cigar outdoors on a balcony and the aroma seems perma-embedded into the shirt I wore lol. Then there's the ash to deal with, and babying them with a humidor if you want to have a collection. Also, I have no scientific evidence to back it up, but I "feel" cigars are harsher on the body event hough you don't inhale. I'm still working through the 5 cigars I picked up, but at best this would only be an occasion/celebration social hobby.

What is or would be your ultimate setup? I mean the complete package. Which bowl, hmd, coals, shisha, hose, everything!

I usually smoke double apple-mint from Al Fakher and I want to buy a new shisha and all it’s equipments. Currently using a Khalil Mamoon with clay bowl and bamboo hose.

Let me know :)

I will travel to germany next mont so I wonder where I can find crown bar hookah in germany?

No stores carry the brand any more, haven't for years. Every now and then I'll order them online as a treat, dragons breath is my all time favorite flavor. Just got some in today. Can't remember the last time I smoked fantasia. It was so soaked... I fluffed it trying my best with how wet it was. Had a mess on my table as it leaked through the bowl as I was packing it. I get the coals on and it won't pull! I had to take off the coals, holding it over the sink and blowing in from the bottom of the bowl letting it drain into my sink so it would smoke.

What is going on with this brand? Did stores stop carrying it because people didn't want to buy molasses soup? Or did they start using more molasses to save money on tobacco since no one was buying it?

I have the containers I bought soaking into paper towels now. Hopefully in a day or two it'll be smokeable. Just wanted to rant.

I’ve bought hookah and don’t know any combinations of tastes. Maybe sombody know tasty flavours?
