What is a Hookah?

A Hookah, is a water pipe device for smoking. It is very common in the Middle and far East.

It is constructed from four fundamental components:

The base, vase, or smoke chamber, is partially filled with water.
The bowl or head, which contains the tobacco; the coal is placed on top.
The pipe or stem which connects the bowl to the base by a tube that descends into the water.
The hose, which connects to a second tube in the pipe.

When a smoker inhales from the tube the coal heats the tobacco, which gives off smoke. The smoke is pulled down from the tobacco, and bubbles up through the water into the air of the smoke chamber. From there, it is drawn through the hose and inhaled by the smoker. Passing through the water partially filters tar and particulates from the tobacco smoke in addition to cooling it.

What difference is between Hookahs?

The best Hookahs you can find these days are hand made in Eygpt. Everything from the Glass base to the hose is hand made and tested. These hookahs are amazing works of art.

A couple years ago the Chinese started making cheap Mass manufactured Hookas. Beware of these, they are junk.
