Freezing Shisha?

[jaker29902]

in my dorm room my fridge is kinda overzealous, and freezes the shisha, this isnt really going to hurt it any is it?

uhh, no offense, but why are you refrigerating shisha in the first place? it dries it out and i'm pretty sure it will suffer from humidity shock each time you take it out. just seal it airtight and put it in a dark, cool place like a closet.

[olooko]

uhm, Why in the world is it in the frige to start with? I don't really know what freezing will do but ask Eric, he should have an answer for you.

[hookah hippie]

It depends on the brand. If its a high-water tobacco, yes. Freezers/refrigerators are dry inside, it will quickly dry up the moisture from the tobacco and make it smoke...not.

Secretly, if I have some Tangiers that is acclimated at a higher humidity and its fairly damp, I will sneak into the freezer for 12 hours, to dry it out a little...makes it smoke better. If its acclimated or the tobacco is acclimated to a drier humidity than your current conditions, it is a bad idea.

Whenever I get radical and start acclimating, when everything is smoking like ass, the weather always changes and makes everything smoke even worse...its a running joke for us.


Edit: I will sneak the tobacco into the freezer...although it is pretty hot in SD right now...sneaking into the freezer sounds dreamy. Edited September 4, 2007 by Sonthert

Couple of days ago (Saturday) here in miami it was close to 100 degrees, we also don't have a working AC and we have to use shitty fans. So 98+ Degrees outside plus no ac inside the house = hell.
