Shisha Shops in the U.S.

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 relaxing experience continues to drive demand for shisha suppliers. However, as with virtually any physical product of the 21st century, shisha sales and distribution are driven more and more by the online marketplace. It doesn't imply that a local shisha shop doesn't have any sales. It definitely does. You can find shisha shops in places where there are plenty of hookah bars; places like populated towns and college towns.

What Sorts of Items are Available at Shisha Shops?

You will find everything associated with shisha in a shisha shop. In a shisha store you could find hookah accessories as well ash hookah components and a wide selection of flavored tobacco. Four things that you will find in virtually every shisha shop are:

1. Shisha tobacco - This is the flavored tobacco, which is burned to generate the smoke. Some of the more common brands include Starbuzz, Al Fakher, Romman, Fumari, Al Tawareg, Fantasia, and Nakhla.

2. Hookah Pipes - The smoking device used to purify and inhale the shisha smoke. Hookah pipes are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles, and price ranges. Your choice depends upon how you wish to use your hookah. If you want your hookah to be used as a decoration piece, you should buy an elegant hookah pipe. If you want to bring your hookah with you when traveling, a smaller hookah pipe would be considerably better for you.

3. Charcoal - One of the most essential things for smoking shisha is coal. You can find a selection of charcoals at nearly every shisha store. As simple as it may appear, charcoals can have considerably different features. Certain charcoals are "self-lighting", allowing the smoker to light one part of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. There are charcoals that should be heated in a charcoal heater or in a fire. It is contended that the latter surpasses the former as it burns for longer and provides an optimal temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - There is a long list of things that can be added to a hookah for fashion or for function. Shisha stores often have clearance sales on accessories that are a little bit damaged, or products they just wish to move to get more shelf space.

Internet Shisha Shops

Just like anything, shisha-related items can be purchased online sometimes more easily than walking or driving to the local store. Nonetheless, purchasing goods online has some disadvantages:

1. Must wait several days before product arrives

2. Can't smell the shisha flavors prior to purchasing

3. Can't see all the options closely

Online purchasing is best when the purchaser is more knowledgeable and knows what flavor he or she wants, which brands he trusts, and is prepared to wait a couple of days for the purchase to come.

You can find a number of great online shisha shops with a Google search. Before purchasing however, ensure that the site is reputable and honest.
