xpimpitox Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I been a browser of this site for quite a while but until recently(today lol) i began posting. this topic probably has already been made but whats everyones first hookah experience. I had a couple of firsts the first time i tried it was at my buddies house he busted it out after talkin 2 me about it i thought it was ok nothin 2 exciting then one day we went to a restuarant that serves shisha in the san fransico(kan zaman) and i dunno if its was the atmosphere, the booze, or what but i got hooked after that!!! we would smoke like at least 3 times a week after that! then i got my own me and one of my cousins would smoke every nite when we got off of work...can we say smoke sessions till 3am lol. but yea fast foward to now and 3 hookahs later im an avid smoker i mean whats more relaxing and enjoyable than sittin around a table conversating with friends/family enjoying a bowl of strawberry!!! i even got my 80 year old grandpa visiting from mexico to try and he loved it! needless 2 say my grandma was a little upset lol.

Bleeding_Heart1 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I totally hear you man. I was hooked because of the atmosphere/music rather then the buzz. Good to have you here![img]http://www.hookahforum.com/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 English teacher’s nightmare... Welcome to the board! Just please attempt to make your sentences a bit more readable... You'll probably get a better response. Anyways back on topic, my first time smoking was freshman year of college. My two good friends who lived in the same hall invited me to smoke with them outside, and of course I had never smoked anything in my life, had no idea what a hookah was, thought it was a massive bong upon first glance. What the hell, this is what college is for right? Had a good experience with it, loved the atmosphere it attracted and also the conversations that came from smoking. Haven't looked back since.

MrGuy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 first time for me was like just over a month ago. After seeing my friend smoke one at a party, i did some reasearch into it, and then later asked him to take me to the shisha bar and he did. was great. first time i tried it, we went in, had a few beers (wierd persian stuff, it was nice though) and met a few lovely ladies and the rest is history.Since then, i've only done it about 6 - 7 times since then, but im buying my hookah on my next paycheque and can't wait!

looloopoopie Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 lol Yash...My first time was with a group of friends in high school; we decided to go to a Middle Eastern restaurant, and unbeknownst to us, it was also a hookah bar. So we get food along with our hookah (ooh! so purty!) and needless to say, I was hooked. The great atmosphere along with the music and the food just made it a memorable time.Now, I can't stop thinking about it. Call me addicted, but it's so much fun to just be with friends and have a relaxing time with the hookah going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain Soph Aur Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 My first experience was when I was 16 (I'm 23 now). I was downtown with a group of friends and one someone suggested we go to Nefertitti. Some sh*tty hole in the wall hookah bar. I thought it was pretty cool but forgot all about it. I've recently quit smoking and miss it alot. So I figured I would take up smoking somethign to help me deal with the severe cravings I get once I week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 My first experience was in May or June when I was out of town on business working with about 15 Saudis, Indians, Pakistanis, a couple of Filipinos and about 10 of us there were Americans. I was there nearly two months and I learned a lot about their cultures and really got to be good friends with all of them. We stayed in Chantilly Virginia and a few times during the stay they took me to a hookah bar. We had a helluva good time. Some of them drank and others were acting goofy. I didn't realize they were getting buzzed off the hookahs! One night they had a really nice belly dancer and she came over and put my beer on top of her head and took off with it. Talk about a dilemna... I was really enjoying watching her shake like that and not lose my beer.... on the other hand I was kinda wishin it was one of the other guys beer. But she came back and gave me a really good tease and let me have it back. After that I loved going back and was set on getting my own hookah. Now I have a buddy in Afghanistan that will be coming back through Pakistan before he comes home and he is getting me four hookaks. I have a nice little hookah to hold me over.

skiracerj1 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My first time was very similar to yash's, freshmen year of college and I had just pledged this fraternity and it was bid night and they had two hookahs goin outside and I was a few beers in and wanting to take a break from drinking and one of the kids smoking was a kid i knew from highschool and I aksed him about it because it was visually very appealing and I had just had my first cigar two days earlier and loved that so i was in a trying mood and gave it a shot, it was nakhla rose i think, and well its been all good since, went to a cople hookah bars after that and found we really liked, built up a good relationship with the owners and started frequenting the place regularily, Its led to some real memorable and interesting experiences to say the least, which is why i think i truly fell in love with hookah, when your smoking its never just dull times, something exciting is bound to happen.

nuschultz Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My first experience was my Soph year of college. One of the other RAs on my staff was Iraqi, and he invited all of us up for a smoke. It was awesome. He explained the culture, history, and we all had a blast.I bought my first one early 2006, and it was the best decision ive ever made.

Calcartman Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My first time was after dealing with my whore of an ex (while we were still dating, of course), and my friends called me and asked if I wanted to come play poker. I LOVE poker. So I went over; and made 40 bucks using my anger at the girl.Then they pulled out a hookah; I knew what it was but had never done it, and I'm the type who will try almost anything at least once. And I had wanted to anyways.So I spent the next hour chatting with high school buddies, discussing random crap, while smoking cotton candy hookah and having a rather ugly, but nice, girl run her hands through my hair.I gotta say, a girl with long fingernails scratching your head, while smoking hookah, is like the most relaxing feeling in the world.

web250 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 My first time was at a friend of a friends house. I had wanted to try for a while. I forget what brand/flavor it was, but it was good, and I got a nice buzz. Funniest part of the night was when she asked her dad if he wanted a drag and he declined because there was no pot in it. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Its a trick to get you to admit there is pot in it. My friend and I used to play backgammon and smoke cigars in San Diego's spectacular Gaslamp Quarter®. We of course brought our own cigars...no need to smoke crummy cigar store rolls. We were walking back to our car and he said..."look in there, its a new place, they smoke hookahs...its name is Fumari." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpimpitox Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 [quote name='Tangiers']Are they still making hookahs without foil or screen at Kan Zaman?? [/quote] i used to be a regular at kan zaman for about 3-4 years until recently. but i never have seen them not use a foil or a screen. when was the last time you went to kan zaman? great place BTW it has died down a lot from when I used to go once a week. shisha isnt the best but the atmosphere was just right to have a great time. i remember they used to have a bowl of strawberry and a bowl of double apple ready for us and a ice chilled hookah ready every saturday nite for when we would come in...talk about customer service!!!
