Hookah

[Root beer]

Anyone ever smoke ****** before? If so, how did you like it? I saw it on Anthony Bourdain and didn't think much about it. Then my friend came back from vacation where they had a ****** lounge and bought himself a set.

In my opinion it better than cigarette, cigars, etc. It was interesting lol. It a good smoke, but it not something I'm take up. It was interesting experience. lol.

One of my quirky college friends was telling me and KYntucky Warmouth about ****** one night.  He pulled out all the necessary components and we started smoking away.  Aside from feeling like it was illegal, it was a pleasant experience.   ;D 

The tobacco he had was infused with pomegranate and it was delicious.  I used to be a semi-heavy smoker and the difference in smoothness was unreal.  Since you are inhaling water vapor it just feels so much better.  If I ever pick up smoking again, I will be getting my own set.

I tried it a few times in Iraq. I didn't like it. It was like smoking incense.

I have never smoked tobacco out of a ******. ;D

My buddies and I made one out of a pony keg, 1 1/8" socket, and garden hoses when I lived in wyoming. It was a monster.

[OHIO]

Disgusting. Dip is better

Call me sheltered, but this is the first time I've heard of a "******".  Seems like it's just another way to deliver a harmful product.

Now, here's something to think about.  I've heard a lot of people say they wish they'd never started smoking/chewing.

Never heard a single person say they regret quitting.

For those that dont know a ****** is what the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland is smoking. Most ****** pipes have multiple hoses though, for multiple people.

Yeah, it was interesting, a thick yet light smoke.  Very smooth, clean, and tastey.  It did feel very illegal at first since he didn't tell us what it was originally, he just broke it out and set it up.

All right, I'll play the long Mike roll and say you mispelled "hooker",  and a hooker lounge and a set don't sound so bad now. ;D

The best thing about the ****** is the smoke. It didn't stink up my clothes or anything....  ;D

You can find tobacco for it on the same website.

I heard it's actually not nearly as bad for you as other forms of tobacco. Apparently the way they treat the tobacco makes it more like steam than smoke and the tobacco has very little tar.

Same here, I got this quote from a web site

Technically speaking, yes, it's unhealthy, although only negligibly. The water takes away approximately 90 percent of the harmful chemicals, and so a pipe contains merely 0.5 percent nicotine and 0 percent tar. Also, if its not inhaled, there is no danger of lung cancer.

Since shisha is tobacco, smoking it likely involves some of the same ill effects as other types of smoking. However, whereas cigarette smoke fills one's chest with a harsh, burning sensation, one can barely feel shisha smoke in the lungs. Because of the smoothness and the fact that it is light, filtered, and cooled, it is very probably the safest form of smoking there is.

Hookahs are pretty great. They have a fairly big presence on my campus.

The best hookahs are probably Khalil Mamoun hookahs, as they are handmade in Egypt under the supervision of Mr. Mamoun, who is supposed to be pretty darn good at his craft.

Mya hookahs are decent too, although they are mass produced and made in China.

The best Shisha I've had include Fumari, Nakhla's Mizo line, and Tangiers, although a "phunnel bowl" is recommended for the Tangiers.

This thread surprised me.  I figured it would either die without much interest or it would include a bunch of people asking what the hell ****** is.
