brendamned Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well I am new here. Just today I recieved and smoked my own first hookah. I had two smoke sessions today to get a taste for the two flavours that I got, Al Waha watermelon and grape, and from what I've read online not one of the best shishas to smoke. Being reletively new to hookah smoking and looking for some tips and advice, what would you give to someone who is just breaking through to such a smoking experience?

r1v3th3ad Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Welcome to the family...good luck with tobacco, your continent has an insane tax on it... my recommendation, find a style you like of tobacco: traditional like nakhla(top rated), tangiers(most say #1), al fakher (highly rated, alwaha (low rating but I like it) ...or you have the more new age like starbuzz, social smoke, and fantasia ...I prefer tangiers and nakhla...tangiers is tough to get right but when you figure it out it is worth it, we can help you...nakhla is foolproof. any questions, ask and we will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendamned Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yeah getting the tobacco shishas is going to be troublesome, I'd try ordering it online but shipping costs would cost a lot more than the product itself, and I don't know if it'll be an issue even getting it into the country as well. That is ordering from outside the country that is. The site where I bought my hookah from does sell a couple of tobacco shisha brands but I have to have a proof of ID just to get it.

DrSmokes Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Welcome to the site. I think before I registered, I had been reading stuff for a month and after I registered, another month. Most people here will suggest to get tangiers but to start, I'd recommend AF. Nak is higher in nicotine so if you are a cig smoker, then I'd say that could be your beginner shisha but if you aren't a cig smoker, AF might be best since it is washed. Once you get use to things, then I'd say to pick up a Tangiers phunnel (probably a pico unless you like really long sessions), pick up Tangiers Birquq Line, some Nakhla (mizo line is good), some coconut coals, a nice hose, and a wind cover. I'd recommend looking up the reviews on everything as there are some mighty great reviewers here (Stuie comes to mind) who review everything. Lastly...smoke and have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendamned Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah I think AF might be the better way to go since I don't smoke cigarettes, but anything with a low nicotine percentage I'd gladly look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
