subject: Shisha Tobacco Explained [print this page] Shisha tobacco is the tobacco that is smoked in hookah pipes. There is much difference between shisha and regular tobacco that we all know. The regular tobacco that we are used in seeing is dry and cut really short but hookah tobacco or shisha is wet, juicy and has a longer cut. This is wet because it contains molasses or honey. Shisha also has different flavors oftentimes flavored with fruit and other extracts.
Smoking hookah pipes has now becoming more and more popular because of the flavors that shisha offers. Now, people may smoke but taste a great flavor and smell good aroma out of it. Actually, hookah smoking is not like cigar where you smoke because you need to feel the taste of nicotine. With hookah smoking, you smoke because you want to relax and just be comfortable while tasting all the flavors and aroma that your shisha tobacco can offer. It is more of a pleasurable smoking experience rather than the addictive need to smoke.
When you buy shisha tobacco, it comes in packs of grams. The lightest you can get is a 50 gram pack. A 250 gram pack can give you 20 to 30 bowls of shisha tobacco. When smoking hookah pipes, it is a requirement that you break up the shisha and spread all over the bowl. A bowl of shisha should last for a 30 minutes to one hour of hookah smoking session. The bowl should only be filled up to the rim but not over it. Then cover bowl with a glass or heavy duty foil. Just make sure that there are holes on the foil.
Shisha tobacco has a shelf life of until 2 years. You should check on its manufacturing date when you purchase one. If you purchased and open a package and find the top leaves are dry, stir it all up and transfer the shisha tobacco to an airtight container. If all the leaves are dry, add some glycerin, molasses, or honey and mix it up. This will help restore its moisture, wetness and flavor.
Shisha tobacco comes in different flavors. These are flavored using the extracts of fruits or other ingredients. You may also create your own flavor of shisha if you wish. You can do this by two or three different kinds of shisha. As you heat the tobacco up, the flavors will all mix up and will show in the smoke. You may also add ice to the water for added coolness of the smoke. This will give you an even better hookah smoking experience.
Hookah smoking has been popularized because of the shisha tobacco. Without its flavor and aroma, it will just be like any ordinary smoking. People get into hookah smoking because it adds class and modern ways of smoking. It is not intended to be an addictive vice but more of a part of one's social life. However, this is still considered smoking and should be taken in moderation. Have the control over hookah.
