Akkbar Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Personally, I like the flavour above all, with lots of fun smoke coming in a close second. I don't care if I get a buzz at all. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rooker Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I like the gathering of friends. The hookah acts as a gathering point for people to coverse and become closer. Then comes the flavor. Then comes the massive smoke clouds you don't get with anything else. Then, is the whole device. It just is a badass system.TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadpipecinch21 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 i'm pretty much with tex. I'd rather smoke a shitty bowl with a couple of friends who are all having a good time than an amazing bowl by myself. Flavor is important to some degree, because a bad tasting bowl kinda puts everyone off, but aside from those two things, nothing else is important.

Calcartman Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For me you cannot seperate the flavor, the smoke, and the buzz.Tangiers has all three, so does Fumari.So do the flavors of Al Waha, Al Fahker, Al Amir, HookahHookah, etc, that i enjoy.If you remove any piece of the equation from it, i dont enjoy it. If it smokes well but has little flavor, ill mix it with something, cause sometimes you can use two mediocre shishas to make something great.

poopooshaboo Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Social aspect, chilling with friends around a bowl is like nothing else- however, if it's a shitty bowl, that's kind of off-putting Edited June 3, 2007 by poopooshaboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsman Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Since I usually smoke alone, it's the relaxation aspect. Unlike a cigarette, you can't just fire up a hookah and go. There is a certain amount of ritual associated with it. In a way, it's not unlike the japanese tea ceremony. It forces you to step away from the mundane aspects everyday life and focus on a single task; setting up the hookah, firing the coals, packing the bowl properly, etc. Then, of course, there is the flavor of the smoke and heat management. It's almost meditative in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For me (and i often smoke alone. i have no friends) It's the taste/smell. Followed by how big the clouds can get JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For me it's definately the social aspect... Ihave never smoked hookah alone... it just wont happen. I love how everytime we smoke with a new group everyone is so curious and eager to try it. Plus my smoke rings never get old to those who don't smoke too often. Hell it even got me a girl before hahaPlus me and my friends have had some pretty deep conversations while smokin... Also, it makes everything funner, you can just sit there and watch tv or a movie and light up a bowl. ITs great....today we watched Grandmas Boy the movie while smokin afternine...good time, but BTW Grandmas Boy is one of the best movies ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezie Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 For me the flavor is important then the fun smoking with friends and making O's and other experiment like mixing flavors or doing smoke bubbles. Thats all Fun to me. Peace have a nice session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafesaden Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 grandmas boy is my all-time fav movie. everytime we put that on we automatically set up the hookah. at least 20 times and now its scratched we have had to move on. quite depressing. my fav thing about hookah is the satisfaction I get from serving my guests. yeah the smoking part, with the big clouds of flavorful smoke and the nice warm smell it puts off is great, thats why i started smoking hookah in the first place. but, i have made my house like hookah central for all my friends. i enjoy setting up the hookah, packing the bowl, and putting everything together perfect and see that all my friends are enjoying it.

lazria Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 considering I can't ever get people to come smoke with me, I enjoy the flavor and ritual of the act. I like the need to set it up just right, spending up to 30 mins to get ready to just smoke! I also enjoy just sitting there, puffing away in front of my 360 - savoring the taste and relaxation from "just me" time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
