cb1021 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) Not sure how to start this thread, but I am looking for info on traditional "shisha* types". (*Note: term may not be accurate)One specific type I have in mind involves a BIIIIG Bowl. Like the size of a baseball cap (minus the curve). I have only heard about this from 2 people (both who know of the real middle east), but have failed to find more info regarding it. One "shisha" pipe was made of wood. I have searched the net, but having the results (google, etc) being only English sites, I am not suprised to come up empty handed. Any info appreciated.

inino Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 If you really want to smoke traditional shisha, "tembek" you need the female hookah equipped with the male tembek bowl. they are better as small bowl, not the big baseball one you were talking about. also all of that tobacco needs to be moistened by hand. you MUST use actual coals also not the fingers or quick lights. use like the orange wood stuff or any kind of bulk coals. its an unbeatable experience, but takes some prep time. if your up for it though i would say definately try it. the stuff that people posted from hookah company is pretty good stuff. the iranian wood hookah is a little pricey though if your not going to smoke it alot. you could probably find a cheaper one online or if you have pretty good "ins" with your local tobacco supplier he may be albe to order you on.
