Hookah Tips and Tricks

Hookah Tips and Etiquette

  • Always keep your shisha in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Your shisha tobacco will last well over a year if stored properly.
     
  • Combining different flavors of shisha can be very satisfying. Banana and strawberry is very good, so is lemon and mango. Never mint and orange!!
     
  • Some prefer to use liquid other than water in the base. Experiment with juice, wine and milk (to make the smoke thicker).
     
  • Combining shisha with honey can provide a satisfying smoke.
     
  • Placing ice cubes in the water can make for a mellower, smoother smoke. Squeeze a lemon or lime in the summer.
  • Never light a cigarette with your charcoal.
     
  • Always light your charcoal outside.
     
  • Using a fork to put holes in the foil works great. Four rows of four!!!
     
  • Putting the shiny side of the foil down is the generally preferred practice.
