Hookah is an art, an embodied oriental tradition that has conquered the whole world. For many centuries, the eastern sheikhs smoked him, resting from work. The first such devices were a coconut, but gradually the art of making a hookah reached incredible heights. Everything is beautiful in it - from the device itself to the method of smoking.
This tradition came from India to Asian countries. By the XIX century, hookah reached Europe and turned into an embodiment of an oriental tale. Smoking aromatic tobacco has always been and remains a relaxation process, slow, calm, harmonious. Nothing should violate this sacrament. Fuss, noise, haste - all this is alien to the ceremony of smoking a hookah.
The modern world offers many institutions that daily open their doors to all adherents of this art. Everyone can purchase an exotic device along with the necessary accessories and supplies and make a hookah on water, a hookah on milk or wine right at home.
Today many different liquids are poured into the flask. Many people smoke on water - the most common way. Those who like a milder taste make a hookah on milk. Stronger lovers will like smoking fragrant tobacco on alcohol. True connoisseurs persistently do not recommend the latter method. As a result of this process, intoxication can occur very quickly, which does not at all contribute to enjoying the subtle notes of the taste of tobacco. Therefore, a hookah on water or a hookah on milk is considered the best option. Sometimes you can add a little weak wine to the flask.
Beginners of this business often like a softer, filtered taste. Therefore, they prefer to smoke hookah in milk. It makes the smoke softer.
Smoking a hookah has its advantages and disadvantages. To smoke or not, everyone decides for himself. After all, smoking a hookah is a special ritual, and not just tobacco consumption. Sometimes this method of relaxation is more useful than a noisy party.
Not everyone can cook it properly. Each experienced hookahman has his own secrets. So, tobacco itself plays a special role. Today, elite tobacco and an economy-class product are on the market. They differ in grades and processing methods. Naturally, all this affects the taste.
In addition to quality, clogging density is also important. It is determined depending on the volume of the cup. Tobacco should not be clogged tightly - then it will not smolder, but burn, the taste will become bitter. But it makes no sense to put a little tobacco - coal will not heat it. It is important to put so much that it smolders, but does not burn.
To properly prepare a hookah, it is not enough to deal with tobacco. The quality of coal is also very important. Self-combusting coal is very convenient in operation. But it significantly distorts the taste of tobacco, and also contains substances that can trigger a headache. Therefore, for a real hookah, coal is used, which must be heated. Only in this case, you can feel all the facets of taste and enjoy them without consequences.
Tobacco and coal are serious components of hookah. But besides them, the construction itself is also important. The longer the shaft, the greater the path smoke travels before entering the smoker's lungs. It is believed that in a long shaft the smoke manages to clear, because tall hookahs are preferable to small ones. Some experts, before starting smoking, cool the hose so that the smoke is also cooled in it.
All these nuances, as well as many other secrets, matter and significantly affect the tastes of the hookah. This is a much more complicated thing than a regular cigarette. And with the right approach, it can deliver more than just an example of more pleasure.
