forgive my cultural ignorance, but where did shisha/hukah/nargile whatever originate?? I've heard Turkey, but I know it's damn popular in egypt and most of the hookahs i see for sale are egyptian. Hey also, can someone please explain what the difference between shisha and hookah is? Is the waterbong a shisha or is it a hookah?

Just curious... CRX?

Turbo. you are incorrect.

Nargile / hookah / sheesha all refer to the exact same thing. The different words originate from different cultures / languages. you were misinformed.

like i said

Hooka is african/sheesha is egyptian, yemanese etc.../Nargile now that one is new to me.

I love it when my Iraqi buddy puts weed in it with the apple flavor, and puts vodka in instead of water.

Oh what a feeling
you get from the are-gee-lee.:D

:rofl: I usually put Bacardi, iced tea or something else in there. Add weed into the mixture and :eek:, but don't stick weed in there in public incase the cops come.

Try cutting a tea leaf up and putting on top of the tumbak :devil:


*edit* woops my bad i brought up an old thread!

get double apple next time, once you get used to apple you can start on the other flavours, this is since apple is the strongest in fruit sense and a hookah like they serve you there should last 1.5 hours so take breaks and remember to ask for thongs to rearrange the coals so it burns well and you'll really enjoy it.

I grew up in the middle east and have been accustomed to smoking shisha/argili for well over a decade and would suggest anyone to bust it out during a house party, if you have more then one you can enjoy different sensations in each as some pointed out before.

And for those people who are thinking about spending $150 on a bogus shisha I see selling at some stores around town don't, those can be had for 1/4 of that in many other countries, I've had to import quite a few since I usually get glass bowls that get knocked over and borken and for $150 I get a beautiful 4 footer in aluminum with a travelling case, just look around on the net or pm me.

haha I remember buying one from the nawar ;) for 12 dollars...nicer than the ones they sell for $100 here. Huge markup on these things. Find an arab friend to get you one - the small ones (under a foot high) can be bought for 3-4 dollars

You can get a nice, complete kit in a travelling case for like $60, and dont forget to tell them to bring u tobacco it's only like a buck a box down there. I brought 3 packs (fruit, grape and cappucino)

Smoking shisha doesn't get you high. Putting weed mixed in with the tobacco gets you high as fuck though.
