Gonna Try Tombac/tombiek(...not Sure Of Spelling)

[r1v3th3ad]

So, I recently bought an antique brass hookah. I was informed by a few(nick off the top of my head) that it is a tombac hookah. Well, last night I was telling Effe at the hookah lounge about it and.....he hooked me up with some tombac. It a bag of leaves he told me to add water to and pack up...told me to cover the bowl with coals.

So...I'm going to grab a shower now and then set up. Can anyone advise as to what I am to do? Light pack? natural coals? leave the leaves soak for x minutes? any advise please help.

I will be videoing part of the session for all you other fanatics.

YAY! dont die!

make sure you dont edit out the coughing!

smoke that stuff up my grandpa smokes Tombak and one BIG piece of advice is that it is like a cigar....DO NOT INHALE. Take tiny hits just like you would with a cigar. That said watch Mush's video and you should be fine. Have fun and like eternal said dont edit out the coughing haha
