A hookah hose in a hookah is the flexible pipe through which the smoker inhales the smoke in his mouth, as it is a long pipe the smoke cools down before it comes near the smoker's mouth. The end of a hookah hose is essentially attached with a mouthpiece which the smoker puts in his mouth, this mouthpiece can be made with either plastic, wood or metal and it can come in many shapes, sizes and colors. The original or conventional hookah hose was the called the sheik hose, it was made from good quality Egyptian materials with a straight and not a rounded mouthpiece at its end. The more traditional Hookah smokers believe that the Sheik hose provides the best quality smoking experience.
As Hookah made its way in to new cultures and traditions, its accessories like the hookah hose also underwent some changes and in the last ten years Egyptian Cobra hoses are being used in the place of Sheik hoses. The specialty of this cobra hose is that they have large mouthpieces which resemble cobra heads, this special feature enables the smoker to hold his hose more comfortably while he's smoking. The Egyptian Cobra hoses are very easy to maneuver and handle. In order for a smoker to get clean smoke and easily clean his hookah hose he can purchase special hoses which are made up of an aluminum body with a plastic mouthpiece at its end.Leather hookah hoses are also available in the market, these hookah pipes are special because they are very easy to clean. Mostly all hookah hoses that are manufactured in the industry fit all hookah pipes. Although traditionally a hookah hose has one mouthpiece but hoses with two or multiple mouthpieces are also available, these hoses are great for entertaining a large number of guests. A hookah hose can stretch from seventy inches to a remarkable two meters in length.
Handling a hookah hose also requires finesse and specific hookah hose etiquettes, examples of this etiquette are never holding the hookah hose with your left hand, never passing on the hookah hose to the next person instead placing the hookah on the table or ground in front of you so the person can pick up the hose himself. Everyone now has the opportunity of making their hookah hose special and unique by getting the hose decorated in their own style, you can make your hose trendy, hip or exotic depending upon your personal style.
