Making The Hookah Tobacco Bowl

By Max Collins


The best way to enjoy a great shisha, is preparing the tobacco the right way. The following will go over all of the necessary stages to making an amazing tobacco bowl.

Make sure you pick a flavor that you like. In case you picked a flavor you disliked, you could salvage it by simply mixing it along with one of your favourite flavors. In the event that the taste of your freshly mixed tobacco is unbearable, you can still save the liquid from it to hydrate older an older batch. There are several sorts of flavours to choose from; starting from budget to more costly brand names. They are also available in various portions from 50g to 1kg. The costlier brands tend to taste better and smoke longer, but that isn't always true.

Now that you have selected the shisha tobacco, you can prepare it. Take a sheet of paper towel and lay it down onto your kitchen table. Next, grab the desired amount of flavor from the packaging and set it on the paper towel. Turn the paper towel over and compress to pull up most of the liquid, so that your tobacco doesn't burn too quickly. It also prevents the liquid from spilling down the body and straight into your water jar. Now place the flavoring in your bowl. Break it down into tiny chunks and put them in your bowl.

Its a good idea to completely fill your bowl with tobacco. This creates a slight dome so that your charcoal can sit on the edge of the bowl. Doing so will extend smoke time and let you use more charcoals. Once your bowl is packed, cover the top using a piece of aluminum foil. Fasten the aluminum foil around the bowl. Use a pointy object, such as a pin to make holes on top of the aluminum foil, so that your bowl looks like a showerhead. This will enable maximal air movement when smoking.

After you've finished making the bowl, keep the tobacco inside a hermetic container or zip lock, in the refrigerator. This will guarantee that your flavor remains delicious for a long period. The last step is lighting your charcoal and placing it on the bowl. As soon as the charcoal is ignited, place it over the bowl. The charcoal should be sitting on the rim but not in the center of the aluminum foil. This will allow you to use plenty of charcoals for one hookah bowl. It's recommended to use a coal at a time.
