Thread: Hookah?

Ive been a cigar lover for a few years now as well as a pipe smoker but I recently decided to try hookah and I love it.
So, are there any other hookah lovers on there?
Whats your set up?
Favorite shisha?

Currently due to budget constraints im running a Mya Petit with Vortex bowl and a second hose (When applicable)
Cant quite say what my favorite shisha is just yet.. Im still exploring that.

I have a hookah, I enjoy it about once a year. Honestly I havent met a shisha I didnt like, but I do not have one as a "go to". I am a cigar and whisky connoisseur and pipe enthusiast. Hookah just kind of reminds me of my college days and as such comes out when I can afford the time to stroll down memory lane.

Enjoy your Hooka!

Gotta love the hookahs. Especially when you can get em cheap!

Just curious do you like fruit, floral, straight tobacco or other flavors?
I have a few favorites but when I break out the Hookah it really just depends.
Not all versions of the same flavor will be appealing.

Currently cookin away in the hookah next to me is Romman melon berry mixed with a little (very little) Al Fakher mint.
My smoking habits and what I smoke is very dependent on my mood.
But, to answer your question, mostly I like fruit type shisha.

Don't think I've tried melon berry,
I'm a fan of two apples, both Al Fakher and off course Nakhla; these are really good with a little Jagermeister in the base if you aren't averse to alcohol (seems to amplify the flavor) lemon and mint go well together as well.
Last I smoked was mixed berry, and Fakher cardamon.
I like mint but not by itself, had some overpower one of my hookahs and it took weeks to get rid of the taste.

The melon berry is very good. And with mint its excellent. But you must be VERY sparing with the mint haha. I just ordered some al tawareg blue berry. I'm pretty excited to try it. I've heard good things. I also have an unopened 50G pack of double apple that I refuse to open. I learned it was licorice after I bought it... I had a bad jager experience and now can't even smell the stuff with out getting sick!

Years ago I had a similar experience with Goldschlager and Cuervo, couldn't stand the smell of either for almost two years.
Yeah I got into hookah some years ago, and went through a period of wanting to try everything available, kind of like we do here with other things, razors, brushes, etc... learned to be careful with mint the hard way... but it's a great mixer.

Yeah, you really need a dedicated hose for mint--the oils do not want to come out--even from a washable hose! Some even have dedicated pipes for mint for that reason.

I'm a fan of Nakhla (cheap in addition to being quite good!) & Tangiers, mostly. Tangiers has lots of nicotine, though, so you'll definitely need to pack it properly (tight, all the way up to the foil w/ no air space whatsoever) or it won't smoke properly at all.
