Just another day in the Harem

“Harem”, probably you know what it is from its provocative status. Pronounced “Charem” both in Hebrew and Arabic it means “Forbidden”. Forbidden to whom you may well ask? Well, if you are a sultan and have a number of wives and conncubines, you wouldn’t let them¬†¬† roam around freely since your offspring would then have a good chance looking like other people’s DNA pattern. Not good for succsession of kings and sultans. There a religous reasons also for this but I’m not going into that, even if it is a part of both Judaism, and Islam.

The women had thir own quarters and were guarded they and their children. You can imagine the jealousy and fighting between 165 brothers and 43 wives!

Okay, I have a few videos here mostly by the great singer Sarah Brightman and some nice dancing.

Hookah 1

New easy PERMANENT diffuser

On all my hookahs I always use a diffuser*.

*{A Diffuser in our case is an attatchment which breaks up the normal hookah hubbly bubbly bubbles made by indraw of breath on the hose and make them not only smaller, but it makes a lot less noise. Which is good if your wife or landlord are bothered.Worse if your parents hear!}

        

¬†“Hey¬† you guys here:”

In previous posts I wrote some ideas like buying one,¬† or better, making your own. If you see the post under “Diffusers” you can see great photos of how they work in water, how to make, etc. I use 4 plastic bending straws stuck in the bottom of the shaft cut to size.Keep them a bit longer so that when inserted with the shaft, they will splay outward to 3,4 directions. The thing is, you need to either keep the same straws and take them out when cleaning the hookah (which I must do 2 days AGO!) or use new ones. I by chance came about a much better idea.You know, those flame lighters that are better to light a gas stove than a match and burn your fingers? I took the metal shaft off of one when the flint was worn down and even re-filling it was useless, and tried it on a mini hookah whose shaft was too short anyways in my opinion.The result was 2 more inches of metal shaft in the water, plus a built-in diffuser!!!

You will hopefully see in the below photos that at the end of the lighter shaft are¬† usually 3 or four holes, just as a rifle has at the end of its barrel to emit gas and then it won’t blow up from the force.The shaft from the lighter fit perfectly into the mini shaft. In the case of bigger hookahs since the shaft diameter is larger, you just bend the shaft which is tin easily.

I used this on the mini but its good for large :

Here you can see the holes at the end of the shaft, but this looks like a very sturdy, long lasting lighter-just buy a cheapie for our diffuser purpose :

(Has the holes @ the end).Do I have to explain where and how to stick this in the shaft? A child could do it!

The end connected to the plastic should be inserted into your hookah shaft  since the lighter side has the holes for diffusion. Please, NO!

Kitchen Lighter(China) This is flexible and could work even better.

                     Flexible Gas LighterKitchen Barbecue LighterAnother diffuser plan :see small bubbles

wrong kind of bubbles in thewrong placeThis not ONLY diffuses, it acts as a filter, but needs replacing when filthy.

Just “food for thought”

If you haven’t gotten the hint, I’m starving and its 5:13Am with nostores where I live in Israel between Hebron and Bethleham, but our local store opens at 7:20 and they have great chummus and fresh pita! (I do have a lot of spices around tho).¬†No, they are not Bedouin, but German musical musicians, mainly cellos, electic guitar, drums and some guest singers. I put this on the blog once, but since I am being blown away, I’d like to share it with you :This video was filmed in the desert, looks like Sahara with Linda Sundblad singing.Why do 99% of the women singers look better than models?

SOEX charcoals are back in stock

SOEX charcoals are back in stock @ Smoking-Hookah.com !

This charcoal quick-lighting is by far my favourite since it lights really quick and doesn’t give off the big horrible ¬†smell and clouds of smoke in your room when you light. They don’t give off large sparks or explode into 2 flying pieces like some coals do either. Its a fast even burn.The soex coal also stays lit well for 45-55 minutes depending on how much you are drawing on the hose as you toke.

Here is the manufacturers well done company link from Bombay,India where all their products are made.

http://www.soex.com/charcoaltablets.html

This link you can see is only  appliable for the wholesale buyers such as Smoking-Hookah.com who buy in gigantic bulk and have it shipped from India.

Photos of the charcoal : 

Here you may see the large line of various HERBAL smoke shisha with no tobacco or tar from Soex :

Soex non tobacco HERBAL is really a fine smoke with many flavours to choose from.

SOEX com. also has a line of “regular” shisha which is anything but regular. Its strong in tobacco content & flavour :

¬†(I’d take the shisha AND¬† that fine hookah), but its not for peasants like us- the hookah is a cutom made!

Smoking-Hookah.com sells BOTH Afzal & Soex shisha tobacco in the large packs at a great price.

500 gram packages :
