mattarios2 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Such as this: https://www.nargilestore.com/duz-lule.html I assume you use it for black tobacco and put coals right on the tobacco ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 got me. The Turkish-English translation site i found was no help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Well the description doesn't really state what it is used for. It just has some weird mumbo jumbo description that says nothing about why you would use a flat bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 found this: http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/14338-flat-hookah-bowl/ seems like it is for black tobacco or tombac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeetsak Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 is that one of those "bowls" you wrap in tobacco and set a single coal on top. its kind of like smoking a vertical cigar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yes, skeetsak, that's exactly right. In Arabic it's called 'Ajami, in Turkish, tömbeki. You can't use them for tobacco like Salloum, Zaghloul, etc. The fact that this is what all nargiles used for hundreds of years is why none of the native hookah-smoking languages call the thing that goes on top "the bowl" The wrapped version looks like this: [img]http://nargilekeyfi.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/tombeki.jpg[/img] And this is the cigar-style, wrapped more neatly from whole leaves (this was about 8" tall) [img]https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/75329_592564264671_7813958_n.jpg[/img] There's also a style where they shred the leaves up, and pile them on top, but I can't find a pic of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Interesting, I think a while back mush made a thread of doing that process, didn't know the flat bowl is what it was made for, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarios2 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 i love black tobacco. I smoke khan el khalili straight up all the time, shit is soooooo good. If nakhla used that tobacco and flavored it, OMG it would destroy everything on the market no questions asked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 well this is the first time i've seen this before, but i would really liek to try it. I really love zaghoul the taste is so clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Re: how does the different wrap affect it? Not sure, haven't smoked it enough to know. But let me say that every time I've had it (in Lebanon only, where LOTS of people smoke it), it's pretty much sucked. Imagine a poor quality cigar with weaker yet very rough smoke and a much bigger kick, and you're close to it. I could only take 15-20 minutes of it, with very intermittent puffs. It's very different from "black" mu'assal like Khan al Khalili, Zaghloul, Salloum, etc, which in my opinion are much nicer by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what's the best way to smoke traditional tobacco? I've only done it once (in Israel, and I would love to again) and a search netted me nothing useful.

Hassouni Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 except that's a standard Egyptian head. I think the technique is different with a proper 'ajami/tömbeki head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yeah, it was mentioned in the video comments. I think the proper bowls weren't readily available so they used what they could. And just a thought, isn't a flat bowl called a plate? ha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
