Make the Most of Your Hookah Smoking
If you are already familiar with hookah smoking basics and want to make your experience even better, shisha pros are very eager to share their tricks of the trade so that more and more people can enjoy the new sensation that is taking the West by storm.
Host a Hookah Party
Host a hookah smoking party so that you can share the fun with friends and not be confined to a small café brimming with people. Many people today are bored of the typical party styles and want themed events to make people talk about their bash for weeks and months to come. Even if they aren’t good cooks themselves, they can throw great parties and revel in being known as a good host.
A hookah smoking party is just one such idea. You can play with more than one theme for your background décor and party ware. You could go for Middle Eastern with deep, rich colors, soft Arabic music and a menu complete with hummus, baba ghanoush and falafel. Or you could travel a little south to India and have a sub continental hookah smoking party with waitresses in saris’ and lots of north Indian ethnic flair as far as floor cushions, elephants and other motifs go.
Hookah smoking is not without its limitations so always try to throw such a party in an open space so that the fumes are not that overwhelming and safety precautions are taken in to consideration. Creating the correct ambience for your hookah party is allowing non-smoking friends to also enjoy themselves. Set aside some place with appetizers and finger foods that they can enjoy without being enveloped by the scent of burning tobacco if they choose to do so. Or you could provide them or some younger people in your party with nicotine free herbal hookah shisha as well.
Other Hookah Smoking Tips
Some hookah connoisseurs feel that to have thicker smoke, use milk in the base of the hookah instead of plain old water. Others prefer alcohol of some sort, but that’s another preference all together. If you do plan on using water, it is best to chill the water, use ice cubes or place the hookah base in the freezer for a while. Some people prefer adding honey or lemon to their hookah smoking experience and feel just a few drops of either can turn bland into grand.
Wile smoking shisha, it is strongly advised not to light a cigarette with the charcoal nor light the hookah with a lighter. To each its own is a very important mantra that should be practiced by the hookah smoking public.
Mix And Match Flavors
It is always a good idea to mix and match flavors of hookah tobacco, but try going the tried and tested route before you become too adventurous lest your experiments fall flat on their face. For instance, pineapple and coconut go well together but mint and orange do not. However, one mans meat may be the others poison, so even if what you like may not be your friends fancy, it is only until you try a few possible permutations that you get the perfect mix.
