For centuries all over the world smokers have employed the shisha, hookah, water pipe, or nargile as the preferred instrument with which to enjoy the aromatic tobaccos indigenous to their region.

The traditional hookah is a four part affair with a colorful glass container as the base (which contains the smoke-cooling water) and a decorative silver-plated stem and bowl assembly. From the side of this sprouts the long, braided tube; at the end of this is an elaborate wooden, flute-like apparatus into which you insert a personal mouth-piece.

The use and enjoyment of the hookah is steeped into ritual and tradition&emdash;this is not an experience to be rushed. Plan to spend some time. Special coals are used, and the hookah is only at its best with our Kairo Kafé Tobacco. A moist tobacco especially for the water pipe that is blended with molasses and fruit flavors. Though smokers may recoil at the thought of flavored tobaccos, you must experience the hookah to understand the allure of this time-honored tradition. A unique and pleasant smoke is guaranteed. Kairo Kafé offers the widest variety of flavors in the world.
