What Is The Shelf Life For Shisha?


Recommended Posts

I generally keep mine in the things that they came in, like al faukers little plastic bucket but also still in the pouch in that bucket. My Starbuzz is still in the metal tins in a plastic bag. How long will they stay good. Sorry about the confusing wording

I dont think there is a exact time for it... I might be wrong but it depends of the "weather" conditions.. of course a year shelf life the tobacco will get dry.. but I think 1 - 2 months it'll be alright...
sorry if there are mistakes in the language..

Nah, its much longer than 2 months. Unless you are leaving the stuff out in the open, it should be good for much longer. I have stuff thats been opened and put into a tub for a year that still smells and smokes fine.

2 hours of smoking?! yea right... if this tobacco isn't home made.. so no way 2 hours... after 20 min your "head" should be burned out and the taste should be gone by then.. I use lemon tree charcoals... 1 charcoal for a head and after that make another "head"... who are you kidding 2 hours... unless you smoking 4 charcoals on 1 head 1 after another... for this one you should use a bigger bowl... I'm talking about a regular bowl.

if you're you're cashing out a bowl in 20 minutes, you SERIOUSLY need to invest in a better bowl, better tobacco and/or possibly better heat management.

i smoked my phunnel bowl full of social smoke's baja blue for 2 hours yesterday and it still wasn't cached. i smoke my egyptians full of nakhla for an hour and still have a bit of unburned tobacco leftover...and don't get me started on smoking a tangiers small phunnel for 4 hours and deciding to give up trying to cash it out....

Is this some sad attempt to mess with us?
If a head only lasts 20 min for you then you need to re-evaluate the way you smoke.

You must be burning the crap out of your shisha then if it only last 20 minutes. Or you're using a bowl that holds maybe 5 grams. I've smoked some AF Grape that expired in 07 a few months ago, and it smoked and tasted fine! With most tobaccos I can get easily a 2 hour session, Tangiers can last anywhere from 2-10+ depending on the bowl.

For the OP: If the shisha is still sealed, I'd say around 2 years for shelf life. Might vary with different flavors and brands.

was just looking at the 250s of AF I have. One was produced March 2008 and exp March 2010 and the other Feb 2010 and exp Feb 2012. The difference between the two as far as juiciness: Nothing. As long as you keep your shisha in airtight containers they should store well over 2 years

I have a feeling he is not really from the united states, that might be a default location. He could be of legal age in Israel, and i think that is all that should matter.[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/post-5619-1201289386.gif[/img]

There is no age limit for smoking in Israel if I remember correctly. If thats the case, he is good to go according to the rules.

This forum is american based, so we abide by american laws....so therefore he was rightfully banned.

The rules state:
"You must be of legal smoking age in your home country to be a member of the Forum"

It also says that we go by US law, which contradicts that statement. Though I do have a feeling that US statement is referring to the legality of certain nht products that are legal elsewhere.
