Love that “Soex” non-tobacco

“Soex” company¬† makes two ¬†lines¬† of great smoking hookah shisha.

One is “Soex” with no nicotine,tar, or tobacco. Only herbal.

The second is “AFZAL” which is¬† real shisha tobacco but it beats most “regular” shisha brands of the highest premium tastes!

“Soex”¬† contains no-tobacco and no nicotine. It comes in many¬† great tasting flavours. I’ve found¬† them very authentic tasting, though as a¬†long time smoker of shisha I could feel that lack of nicotine kick¬† in it. but that’s what its all about; for a non-nicotine herbal smoke its what you are looking for. Nice fragrance and great taste.¬†¬†

It is available online at many companies such as  :

“Soex”¬† also makes also the¬† “AFZAL” real tobacco mu’assel.

This is a “premium” type ¬†smoke, without the premium price.

It also is sold from New Delhi, India as is “Soex”.

Upon opening the box and bag, I immediately smelled  2 things. First of all you quickly  smell a strong  tobacco fragrance, you see in the mix actual well cut up tobacco leaves, and each  taste you sniff and know right away what  the flavour is before smoking  even with your eyes closed!

As Afzal is a premium smoke, it is a very long lasting session. I am amazed at the length of time it smokes and yet it stayed good to the end.

“AFZAL” can also be bought by the online stores listed above, and below.

 

Almost Like a New Hookah

I just bought some new hoses to smoke from.
I invested in some great hookah hoses at the “Hookah4Less.com”.
I bought 2 Cobras, one the authentic expensive kind, and one the cheaper kind.
I bought the long, beautiful “Syrian” hoses which cost the most, 5 of them, and one othercheaper shorter hose .
I don’t like to smoke mint flavours or licorice, double-apple tastes in a all the hoses since the taste si so overpowering and will affect the smokes after that for a while.
I’m now smoking premium Al-Ouns grape flavour which I also bought at Hookah4Less.com, and it was tasting like the nakhla double-apple from before, so I switched to the non-authentic new cobra which I have used about 3 times.
I blew it out first like you are supposed to do after each smoke, but I kept getting this lousy black powder comming out (and in), so I had no choice but to wash it.
I went back to smoking and every puff, more black powder. Well, I just started that smoke.The pull was hard too so I took one of the new Syrian hoses and it was like another world.
Easy suction, and no lousy black powder which after all must not be from the charcoal, but evidently the hose had rusted on the inside. It had been like that from the beginning.
Thats what I get for buying cheap. The other hoses are great and this grape Al-Ouns is too.

“Pipe Dreams”

A pipe dream:
A perfectly clear clay tobacco-shisha bowl? Not yet invented (except for the semi clear acrylic bowls which cost a big $ bundle and break easily too).

So, how to tell if you smoked all the shisha in the bowl?
I guess its up to experience.

1) how much did you pack?
What is usually for you a half-hours smoke? 40 minutes went buy and your tongue is feeling fuzzy-you are long ago finished and if you have a good burning coal, you are getting plain heat and ashes taste.
2)did you pack loosly or too tight?

If tight it will burn for sure, mostly at the bottom.

3)type of shisha being smoked.

Al-Fakher, Al-Ouns ,Al-Qemah,Roman,Fumari,Afzal are loooong ongoing good smokes.
15 grams lightly packed of Al Fakher,Al-Ouns,Al-Qemah,Roman will approximately smoke 45-60 minutes.
The same ammount of Al-Waha, Al-Sultan, El-Nakhla,El-Basha
(same company) will smoke 20-30 minutes lightly packed.
If you have been going on longer, its a burn!
These are just a few hints.

4) when you’ve finished smoking EACH time look at what is left over.
If its ash, then next time don’t smoke that gram ammount too long. Or get a bigger bowl.
The gigantic “party bowl” which I mainly use is big enough for 30-35 grams, and since its bad to add shisha up to the top where it touches the foil and will burn, I still have room left over.

I always check the remains of any bowl to see if its over burnt. There should be left a bit of lightly cooked shisha at the bottom remaining.Throw it out!

With so many shisha brands out there herbal and regular, each company brand has its own burning time.
It depends mainly on how much glycerine is in the mixture.
You’ll find Nakhal is a dryer brand. The premium brands are dripping and smell so good even before you put them in the bowl!

Where do you buy a hookah and tobacco?

Some of us buy, if they have the luxury to be near an “Ethnic store” their hookahs and tobacco mu’assel there from store owners they know and come back to with faulty hookahs or stale tobacco shisha.
The variety is far from as large and varied as theonline stores, but its maybe a bit cheaper, and maybe close by.
If not, you can go on the www/searchengine , write in “hookah” and you’ve got the gigantic listing of pages of many shisha companies online.
No wonder almost all the companies names start with the word “Hookah”
Hookah Master.com
HookahCompany.com,Hookah4Less.com
Smoking-Hookah.com (vive’ la differance’)
HookahshishaCentral.com
Fumari(whata).com
Hookah Hub. com
Hukah Mafeesh.com
Gefilteh-Fish.com (a “small” fish joke.)
EastCoastHookah.com (Authentic company)
WestcoastHookah.com (Authentic company)
TheSouthWillRiseAgainHookah.com (sorry, its Friday)
NorthernLightsHookah.com(its still Friday)

Let me say right here :
in Alaska,the Arctic Circle,Greenland, and Hibbing or Duluth Minnesota you should not smoke your hookah at the beach.Ever.
In the winter you will have a coooool cold smoke, but it will freeze in 4 minutes or less.

In the summer the mosquitos of the north are as big as fruit bats and wombies sometimes. They must be related to zombies too, since a bite from them and they draw a lot of blood,”blood bro”.
