Finding Shisha Shops

By John McCree


Shisha shops, just like hookah bars, are becoming significantly common as the hookah revolution continues to spread throughout the U.S. and western world. Exposure to shisha and its satisfying experience continues to drive demand for shisha suppliers. However, as with virtually any physical product of the modern day, shisha sales and distribution are driven increasingly more by the online marketplace. It doesn't mean that a local shisha shop doesn't have any sales. It has a great deal of sales. Shisha shops tend to be heavily concentrated in the same type of locations where hookah lounges are located; larger ethnic towns, and near colleges and universities.

What Do They Sell at Shisha Stores?

You will find anything and everything connected with shisha in a shisha shop. This includes all the parts of the smoking device, commonly referred to as the "hookah", as well as maintenance materials, and the shisha tobacco itself. Typical shop items consist of:

1. Shisha tobacco - The actual substance to be smoked, generally flavored with fruit or some other flavor blends, is available at the store. Some of the more popular brands include Starbuzz, Al Fakher, Romman, Fumari, Al Tawareg, Fantasia, and Nakhla.

2. Hookah Pipes - It is the smoking device that is used to purify and inhale shisha smoke. A lot of different styles, shapes and sizes can be found in hookah pipes. Your choice depends on how you want to use your hookah. If you would like your hookah to double as a decoration piece, you should buy an elegant hookah pipe. If you want to take your hookah with you when traveling, a smaller hookah pipe would be more suitable for you.

3. Charcoal - When there is no coal, there is no smoke. Since coal is so important, it is offered at almost each and every shisha store. It might appear that charcoals are all the same, but it is incorrect. Certain charcoals are "self-lighting", allowing the smoker to light one portion of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. There are charcoals that need to be heated in a charcoal heater or in a fire. It is contended that the latter is preferable to the former as it burns for longer and provides an optimal temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - There is a long list of stuff that can be added to a hookah for fashion or for function. Two of the most used accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen can be used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the connecting parts.

Web Based Shisha Stores

You can also buy shisha products on the web. Nevertheless, purchasing goods on the Internet has some disadvantages:

1. Have to wait several days before item arrives

2. Can't physically examine the items before purchasing

3. Can't see goods firsthand and ask questions to the seller before choosing

If you are willing to wait a couple of days for the purchase to arrive and you are a skilled hookah smoker who knows what flavor and brand he wants, then you should go ahead and use Internet stores.

A quick Google search can show up many online stores that sell hookah and shisha items.
