Shisha

So I'm sitting here in a cool little cafe on the water smoking shisha and drinking coffee.  its an awesome experience to see all of the locals, including women, puffing away on the intricate hookah pipes.  Very cool stuff.

For those who don't know, shisha is tobacco that has a flavored molasses in it. Its then place atop a big hookah pipe that has water in the bottom of it. When you puff it, the smoke is sent through the water and then out to the end of the hose, thus eliminating a significant portion of the "bad stuff" associated with smoking tobacco.

I tried the double apple flavor and its incredible.  That's all for now...just figured I'd update everyone while I'm sitting here.

  1. I am SO JEALOUS!!!! One of the things I looked forward to while I was in the desert was my downtime at the cafe where I could get the best tea on the planet and smoke shisha. If you haven't tried the tea yet do it! they put cardamom in it, its fantastic :)
