Molson Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 hi there. i am finally getting my hookah which is in the mail (the SS sirius 28'') with some shisha (and i am extremly excited). now i hear a lot about moist shisha and the best way to store it. i have found out very quickly that no one can agree hahahaha one says the fridge another says the shelf. but i got thinking i love my cuban cigars (yay +1 for canada) and allways have to keep them in my humidor to keep them fresh and moist. so i started to question the idea of putting shisha in a humidor. anyone try it? any input?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_official Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 1. dont put shisha in your fridge, unless your planning on smoking in the fridge, its very dry in there and your sheesh will become upset and most likley cry.2. on the other hand, i kept my specialty bags of sheesh (non labels, weird companys etc...) in a cigar box which had a very nice humidor, whenever i took sheesh out to smoke id let it sit for about a half an hour and never really noticed a significance.

McDarragh Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Tupperware container in the pantry (dark and cool) works for me - if your tobacco gets dry sitting here you need to buy smaller boxes or invite more friends over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I know of a walk in freezer we can use??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) I use Baby Food Jars, they are nice, clean, and the shisha doesnt smell my whole house up then. Also, they are easy to label with flavourse and brands, i just put a piece of masking tape on and use a sharpy marker to mark them.

mushrat Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 A humidore pretty much negates the whole acclimation thing. Or atleast will make it take longer to acclimate, unless of course the humidity where you live is around 70%. Then you don't need the humidore anyway...

Molson Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 ok plastic containers it is... was just a thought but with the whole acclimation thing it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinSophAur Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 keep mine in spice jars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 nah baby food jars a perfect, i dont have the really little ones, but each jar holds about 75grams of shisha. so i have several jars filled with mint and orange cream and the other flavours is get 250 grams of every time. but it is convenient for when i travel i just grab like 3 jars put them in my hookah bag and im off. much less mess and looks classy to in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TizaNabi Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 MOLSON! about the fridge and humidours. The humidour I don't know about, but think "Molson", how much tobacco % in a cigar and how much in shisha? shisha has either honey or molasses which can't go bad in the fridge, but how about all this mixture with the addition of glycerine 23,24,25%? Since you don't smoke as much anymore, why don't you stick part of your stash in the fridge for a while in the name of science and tell us how long it took to get rancid!

MWlax00 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 OKay. I too am an abbot cigar smoker. (wayy more than hookah) i have several humidors. im guessing you paid a little for your cubans. a humidor is a tightly sealed box. i would NOT put your shisha with your cigars. if in the same humidor. keep them separate. wayy far apart. even though shisha would be sealed, the flavor will leak, (osmoses) and get into the wrap of the cigars. i dont even put different wrapped cigars with each other. i.e macadoros separate from claros.like others have stated, just keep it in the original package, or gladeware, ziplock, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molson Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 hehehe umm thanks. Please note i asked this question about a year and a half ago. I do not keep any shisha in my humidors (and i would not wanna destroy any of my cigars). Tupperwear all the way in my closet is how it goes.

Stuie Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Never put shisha in the fridge. Tiza you are wrong on that front. 1. Frigid temps separate oils from everything. Coffee is ruined when you put it in fridge, film appears on food, and simple compounds break apart. Molasses, Honey and Glycerin all follow suit.2. If you were right, why don't you put food in the fridge and eat it a year later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypas Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 well i see this question has been answered, to my relief, because i shudder at the thought of putting shisha in your humidor! it would ruin your humidor and everything inside it! oh i'm picturing mold and stink....
