momatik Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Go to a cigar shop and tell the dude what you need it for, I'm sure he can help.Personally, I know nothing about tobacco in general unless it's in shisha form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuburbanSmoker Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 well if you can find a cigar shop that makes there own you could always talk to them to see if you can get the scraps from the ends. dont know how it would taste but im sure it would be pretty damn cheap and a good quality leaf of tobacco.

Hookah Peace Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 QUOTE (hookah hippie @ Jul 27 2008, 02:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Use Virginia blend tobacco Virginia is very, very high in nicotine. Can send you 'high' in only one inhalation. For seasoned cigarette smokers only! Personally I think the cigar tobacco idea is a good one, albeit expensive. Pipe tobacco (some are flavoured e.g. with vanilla) is an excellent idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneeyedziggy Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 try getting some pipe tobacce then just washing it in a hot watter bath to smooth it out. I'm also going to try making my own herbal shisha from tea leaves... also i've smoked green tea before from a tobacco pipe, and it's very smooth, so i'm going to try to mix it with some honey and see if it smokes from a hookah.

I can vouch for that because i generally only smoke straight VA tobacco in my pipes.Burly leaf on the other hand is what really packs it. I can definitely feel it when I smoke straight burly tobacco. Perique is another knock-you-on-your-butt leaf, but that is hard to get and would be really $$ to make shisha out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
