everydayshisha Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Nice finds but these were not made for tobacco like AF or TangiersThey used to smoke tombak (or tumbeik depending on where you come from) and tobamel. These 2 types are uncut (thus the huge bowls) leaves, 1st using molasses and 2 one using some kind of just haney). If you go to lebanon, this kind of tobacco is still serve at many place. Its like smoking a sweet cigar. Heavy, with a nice sweet tobacco flavour.( am not sure if what i tried was tobamel or tombak). You cant call it harsh. It feels like smoking a cigarette , tastes like a cigar BUT IT'S A HOOKAHThese give you a huge buzz if you are not a regular cigarette smoker (am not and it was quite heavy). I'll give one advice. If you 've smoked nakhla and gave you a buzz Dont give this one a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Nice finds.And yeah, no foil was used back in the day. Charcoals were placed right on top of the tobacco. My dad's friend still smokes it this way...it is just simply disgusting. I took two hits, and it left a nasty taste in my mouth for that entire night. Then again, he might've been using a weird brand that tasted bad. Some Flavored tobacco taste horrible too so yeah.I did not like it because I was so used to flavored tobacco.

gr!m Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Very pretty. Nice craftsmanship too although it doesn't look like it's held up over the years. Looks like a few puffs from that now would make you keel over lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
