Fans of hookah smoking know that for such a procedure you need a whole range of different accessories. In addition to coal, foil, special tweezers and coolant, the most important component is needed - tobacco. The spectrum of pleasures that a smoker can get depends on his choice. There are various types of tobacco for hookahs, which are fundamentally different from each other.
Main product
It is believed that Muslims in one of the eastern countries were the first to invent the hookah. Many of them are still fighting for the right to bear the proud name of the creator of an unusual smoking apparatus. However, some scholars do not agree with this statement. After all, the Indians of America were the first to discover tobacco. In addition, it was there that archaeologists found during excavations unidentified devices resembling a pipe or a hookah. Perhaps in this country a similar method was known many centuries ago. But it is not enough to have a special apparatus. You must have certain accessories for it. In addition to coal briquettes (tablets) and special tweezers, there are a variety of types of tobacco for hookahs. There are only three of them, but each has its own story or reason for its creation. It is known that initially in such devices used a conventional tobacco sheet.
Immediately before use, he had to undergo a special procedure:
1. First, the leaves had to be soaked in water. This made it possible to clean the product from harmful resins.
2. Then the product should be squeezed out well. It should have been not wet, but slightly wet.
3. After that, depending on the type of hookah, it should either be crushed and folded into a cup, or wound on top of it like a cigarette.
All types of tobacco for hookahs came precisely from this main product, which was called "tombak" (tombak). This word has Turkish roots. And they smoke hookah in this form mainly in Turkey, Iran or Syria.
Advanced Composition
It is known that nicotine contained in tobacco leaves, when ingested, creates a feeling of mild euphoria. Many people smoke to achieve this particular state. But over time, people have learned to get other pleasures from this process. They noticed one interesting feature. If the leaves are pre-soaked with a sweet composition, then during smoking the smoke acquires an unusual pleasant aroma. It was then that new types of tobacco for hookahs appeared:
1. One of them is a mixture of crushed tobacco with sweet molasses. Moreover, the leaves for this are used dry, without preliminary soaking. They contain a lot of nicotine and foreign pitches. When combined with molasses, the mass becomes black. Such a composition was called "jurak". Such mixtures are very popular in Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia.
2. Over the years, people have become very cautious about the high content of nicotine in smoking products. The industry of many countries began to produce mixtures with its reduced content. Hookah lovers did not stand aside. A new type of tobacco was invented called “oils” (m`asel). It was produced in two versions: with and without flavorings.
Each of these hookah tobaccos is good in its own way.
Conscious choice
Each smoker has his own special taste. Some people like the aromas of flowers, while others prefer fruits or spices. According to this principle, industry produces a variety of tobacco for hookah. Types of this product are quite widely represented in the distribution network. Today, anyone can come to the store and buy not only the hookah itself, but also all the accessories necessary for it. Novice smokers naturally want to try as many different varieties and varieties of tobacco as possible. But people with experience have already managed to make a choice and find the best option for themselves. To study consumer demand, each company constantly conducts sociological studies to find out what the mass buyer prefers.
As a result, a couple of years ago it turned out that most people, oddly enough, chose mixtures with the aroma of apple. A very small amount preferred the taste of strawberries, mint, mango and cappuccino. But every year the choice changes, and in the future a variety of options are possible.
Leading manufacturer
Smoking tobacco for hookah is produced at manufacturing enterprises in various countries. Its composition is almost the same for everyone. Such a mixture usually includes tobacco leaf, molasses (or honey), glycerin, various flavors and sometimes preservatives. In fact, all this - “butter” - the most popular types of tobacco for hookah. Alfakher is one of the largest and most well-known enterprises that produces them.
In recent years, this company has gained worldwide recognition and has become a true leader in its field. She produces a whole series of products with a variety of tastes:
