Sheesha Etiquette's
2007-03-02 14:58:00
The etiquette of hookah smoking is very important in some cultures and often times it is regarded as disrespectful to break away from these traditions. Etiquette also helps to keep all hookah smokers happy. ► Smoking a hookah pipe is about patience and tolerance, so relax and enjoy it. ► There is no urgency or competitiveness when smoking a narghile, unlike the smoking sessions using other glass pipes or water pipes. So smoke until you are pleased and then pass it on to the next person. ► As a courtesy, turn the hose connection of the metal stem toward the next person as you are handing them the hose. ► Never light cigarettes using the lit charcoal on top of the hose. ► Never light a self-lighting charcoal on top of the hookah- the extra smoke will overwhelm the tobacco flavors. ► Do not blow smoke in the face of another person. ► With a multi-hose hookah, do not blow into the hookah hose to clear the smoke while another person is smoking. ► Never

One of the oldest traditions of the Middle East is the art of hookah smoking. The hookah, also referred to as a narghile or narghila, shisha or sheesha, water-pipe, and hubbly-bubbly, has long inspired great discussions of politics, religion, and the daily happenings. In social gatherings, the passing of the hose is remarkable- a narghile is placed in the center of a group and smokers pass the hose to the next in the circle, all the while exchanging words and sharing ideas in a playful mode. The popularity of the hookah has sky-rocketed in recent years, mainly due to the social nature of hookah smoking. In the United States, where everything has become so fast paced that people rarely have time to socialize with family or friends, it certainly contributes to the smoker's integration in his or her social environment in a brotherly peaceful act of solidarity. Clusters of hookah smokers can now be seen at sidewalk cafes in Westwood, California, in nightclubs in Chicago and Mi

History of Sheesha

One of the oldest and deep rooted traditions in Turkey is the Nargile (Hookah), with both men and women finding great pleasure in smoking the waterpipe. The nargile started a whole new culture which endured for many, many years. Even today the nargile gives enjoyment to a special breed of smokers. The original nargile came from India, but it was rather primitive as it was made out of coconut shell. Its popularity spread to Iran and then to the rest of the Arab world. But it was in Turkey that the nargile completed its revolution, and did not change its style for the last few hundred years. The nargile became a very important part of the coffee shop culture, finding its popularity in Turkey around the time of Murat the IV'th, 1623-40.The joy that the smokers received from this very simple yet beautiful smoking apparatus was unbelievable. Rules were created even for lighting the pipe, and if a professional smoker saw anyone lighting it the incorrect way, the culprit would be told i

This place is dedicated to the sheesha cafe's in the uae, we are trying to give them a place they truely deserve.My friends and I smoke sheesha frequently and are big fans. We were driving down to Qusais, where our usual sheesha cafe is, when we saw this new place. We decided to try it out.The place was nothing special, the usual cane furniture and outdoor seating. We have a flavor in common, ANNUB WA NA 'NNA, grapes and mint (mixed). The sheesha's arrived and we started to smoke, let me tell you it was anything but pleasant.
