History Of Shisha.........

Shisha is a Middle-Eastern smoking tradition that began hundreds of years

before the invasion of the big American cigarette companies and is one of

the most common and interesting sites of the Arab World. There are numerous

cafes where one can lie on long cushions and spend the time talking to your

friends and enjoying this Arab delight. Tobacco is soaked in fruit shavings such

 as strawberry, apples or grapes. This mixture is then smoked through a large

water pipe (called a hookah). Men and women of the upper classes in the Arab

world have been entertaining guests with hookah pipes for centuries. Moreover,

there are hoards of Shisha purists who truly cherish this tradition no less than

a Japanese tea Master or Matron.With the invention of the hookah or "shisha"

The hookah uses a small charcoal tablet to gently heat a special, flavor-infused tobacco blend

. The tobacco never burns, but is filtered as it is drawn through the water-filled

, hand-blown glass base and inhaled through ornate, embroidered hoses. The vapor

is incredibly smooth, sweet and aromatic
