......guaranteed Di looks at this thread :lol3:

 

I have never really got into shisha (shisha is the name for the tobacco that is used within a hookah). I have mates here and OS who are devotees and who would be appalled at the below product 

The Swisher Sweets of Hookah

Hawana 69

 

 

A little intro for the unfamiliar. 

 

 

Who here of FOH indulges .....or has indulged in Hookah?

I used to love shisha, I would go to a smoking lounge with a Tunisian friend of mine on a weekly basis 20 years ago but then I began smoking cigarettes and that was it.

It makes me cough every time I try since then, I'm weirdly unable to smoke it without inhaling. Never had that problem with cigars 🤔

Here in Canada it's the practically the last way to smoke in public. I enjoy it from time to time.

I've got a few good mates who are either Lebanese or were in the military and picked up a taste for it when deployed in the Middle East. So they come out on occasion when we catch up or at a Lebanese restaurant that has them.

I’m curious now. Myself and one of the Perth boys love shisha. He in fact experiments and cuts up cigars to make shisha tobacco with 😁 There’s some good shisha lounges in Perth. 

Can you buy some of this stuff in? It’s not the sort of thing I can get without said licenses. Funny enough the excise on shisha is a rip. You pay excise for the weight (which is 90% molasses and flavouring) and not the tobacco content (10%). 

My favourite flavour is Paan/Rose mix. Which if you’re unfamiliar is a “mouth freshner” in sub continent area. Kind of a rose/fruit/licorice taste.

It smells great, but never smoked one. I may have unpopular opinion, its for those cute ladies you see at the lounge taking selfies 😆

I am fan of hookahs. Certainly less expensive than smoking cigars. Gets old quick if smoking alone. Cigar is much better if solo. Hookah takes more set up time and break down time after. It's less smelly if smoking inside and the tobacco's can vary in how much nicotine there is. 

Crazy thing in our state is that marijuana and hashish are legal, but hookah tobacco is not.

Have my own hookah from college and used to experience making my own shisha from pipe tobacco. Most Shisha is washed tobacco with most of the nicotine removed. Now that pipe tobacco would whack you like a train.

Are hookahs' meant for tobacco only? Were we wrong to smoke hashish from the hookah when I was in Boulder? That's the only way I've put one to use. Ultimate Frisbee team I played on from time to time was called the Happy Hookahs. I vaguely recall that we were pretty damn good too. 😁

There are a bunch of domestic (USA) crafted hookah tobacco's that are now on the market. I had only ever bought tobacco from the Middle East.

Yeah one of my friends told me back in Tunisia that he used to smoke hashish from it, filled with vodka instead of water 😁

Never tried it myself.

Just being filled with booze is enough to get you drunk for a small bursts.

I know you can grow marijuana in some states, what about hash? Is there any regulations? Here, smuggling drugs (hashish included) gets you the death penalty.

I played for a cricket side that was more social than cricket. We had a team hookah that we would smoke in the middle of the pitch after the game. Some opposition clubs didn't see the fun in it, thinking we were smoking hooch! Ha ha! And we were waved on because it was a bad look.

Hash is made from resin extracted from the cannabis plant.

Yes, you can manufacture hashish in several states that allow marijuana. All of the marijuana or marijuana derived products like vapes, hashish, edibles, etc...are made within the state. Some are under license of a national or international brand. Importation into a state is illegal (at least in my state).  

The amount of marijuana it takes to make hashish limits production. It's not like it's growing wild in a field. It's more of a labor of love, but it's expanding as some people will pay the cost it takes to make.

A friend of mine is a $400 an hour consultant in this industry to which I am basing my comments on.

I spent a while afternoon smoking at a Hookah bar in Cairo back in 2007. I think a gallon of coffee and all the smoking I could handle cost me like $3. Great experience, but not sure I’d indulge at home. It seems like more work than enjoyment if you have to do the set up yourself.

I’ve been a fan, 1st smoked one age 18 and up until I was in my late thirties. It tastes amazing, sweet molasses soaked fruit flavour tobacco, even better in the evening after a meal somewhere hot! Definitely a social thing.
