Why The Big Fuss Over Clouds?

[SilverK]

Can someone enlighten me as to why the rating threads report clouds produced when smoking?

I like shisha based on flavor, and yeah big clouds go with flavor from my experience, but is there some other reason that clouds even matter when it comes to the hookah experience???

Personally, I just like the clouds..

clouds are awesome? flavor is win too...together = shazam! (aka tangiers)

Smoking is largely visual.

It's about preference.

Smoking = clouds

IF you just want flavor I guess you can go eat some candy or something

Everyone has different tastes. Some like huge clouds some like strong flavor and some like both. I require both when I smoke.

[Scalliwag]

It just fulfills the hookah experience. If all I wanted was flavor I'd eat a peach. For me I like what I consider the practical science of hookahs. About the only part I could do without is cleaning.
Other than that I like all the different things involved in setting up a good smoke nearly as much as sitting and smoking it.
So there's a lot of things that go into a setup that would be hard for some people to understand. I have to get every facet near perfection to really enjoy it.

big clouds lets you know that your perparing everything right and usually comes with big flavor too

i love the clouds!!! without clouds i will not enjoy hookah as much.

Blowing smoke rings requires clouds, and thats one of my favorite parts. Usually the correlation between cloud size and flavor exists which is why SB is so elite, best clouds and best flavor.

[ammoura1]

Clouds add to the whole hookah experience. Nothing beats exhaling a huge smoke cloud with amazing taste with no throat irritation.

Flavor FTW!. Arnolds tobacco has giant clouds, but has a very light flavor (last I checked). If smoke clouds were the most important thing, wouldn't it be the best-selling brand?

[Bookworm]

because smoke tricks are the shit.

[Sonthert]

Shit. Thats true. Well played, sir.

Volume of smoke in my Lungs.

[BigSexyPanda]

There would be no point in saying I'm smoking a hookah, if there's no smoke...

Ooh, I got a question for you guys since everyone seems to be agreeing, what tobacco gets the best clouds for you?

[Bookworm]

I've only smoked a lot of fumari and a few bowls of AW, so I'm not sure. Might buy some tangiers and nakhla next time instead of going to a local store.

What are you doing when you use a hookah properly?
Smoking.
SMOKE...the more of it the more you are doing right...

[TheShishaDoctor]

I would have to agree with the others that say its a direct indicator of how well the session is going.

And a step further, when the smoke is not thick (using low-cloud tobaccos), you don't get that positive reinforcement that the session is going well (even if it is).

well, when i started smoking hookah, i smoked cigarettes. and my cousin was like "dude if we had hookah, id be able to teach you how to blow rings super easy." then he told me that there are none of the extra chemicals and/or nicotine/tar from hookah. then he told me that you get huge smoke from it. so i bought one. mostly because the clouds and flavor part. at the time i didnt care what i was smoking was worst than cigarettes were because i smoked those anyways. but i smoke hookah exclusively now. everyone on campus knows my friends and i as the hookah guys. some even paid us a couple hundred bucks to bring our pipes to their parties.

drunken bastards broke one of my phunnels and made a coconara fall on my km ultimate hose. but the profit i made covered it. lol.

hookah isnt worse for you than cigs and you still get the nicotine out of it

but me personally i love big clouds but the flavor has to be there also

Have you ever smoked in the dark? It's no fun. Seeing the smoke is part of smoking!
The smoke volume of hookah smoking as we know it these days, it can be huge. But it dissipates rapidly, and leaves little after-odor. So I can make clouds of smoke, guilt free. Edited April 28, 2009 by smoke eater

Well lets see,, there is something magical about when you start to pull, and you watch the vase turn white with billowing smoke. Knowing that all of that smokey goodness is simultaneously polluting your inermost soul. And when your lungs are filled to capacity, and you just cant hold it in anymore. Releasing all of that, in a huge cloud of flavorful ecstacy.. Well lets just say its climactic..

I'm getting excited just thinking about it Edited April 28, 2009 by fcbayern

Yup. Im happy with clouds and flavor, not one or the other.

If I'm missing one, I'll fix it.

[ilikemyusername]

clouds are fun.
one day, you'll exhale a cloud, and you'll say ; "clouds are fun".
