Hookah smoking lovers know that for such a procedure you need a whole set of various accessories. In addition to coal, foil, special tweezers and coolant, the most important ingredient is needed - tobacco. The range of pleasures that a smoker can get depends on his choice. There are a variety of types of tobacco for hookahs, which are fundamentally different from each other.
Main product
It is generally accepted that the first hookah was invented by Muslims in one of the eastern countries. Many of them are still fighting for the right to bear the proud name of the creator of an unusual smoking apparatus. However, some scientists do not agree with this statement. After all, the Indians of America were the first to discover tobacco. In addition, it was there that archaeologists found during excavations unidentified devices resembling a pipe or a hookah. Perhaps in this country a similar method was known many centuries ago. But it is not enough to have a special apparatus. You need to have certain accessories for it. In addition to coal briquettes (tablets) and special tweezers, there are the mostdifferent types of tobacco for hookahs. There are only three of them, but each has its own history or reason for creation. It is known that the original tobacco leaf was used in such devices.
Immediately before use, it had to go through a special procedure:
1. First, the leaves had to be soaked in water. This made it possible to purify the product from harmful resins.
2. Then the product should be squeezed well. It was supposed to be not wet, but slightly damp.
3. After that, depending on the type of hookah, it should either be crushed and put into a cup, or wound on top of it, like a cigarette.
All types of tobacco for hookahs originated from this main product, which was called "tombak" (tombak). This word has Turkish roots. Yes, and they smoke hookah in this form mainly in Turkey, Iran or Syria.
Improved composition
It is known that nicotine contained in tobacco leaves, when ingested, creates a feeling of mild euphoria. Many people smoke to achieve this state. But over time, people learned to get other pleasures from this process. They noticed one interesting feature. If the leaves are pre-soaked with a sweet composition, then during smoking, the smoke acquires an unusual pleasant aroma. It was then that new types of tobacco for hookahs appeared:
1. One of them is a mixture of crushed tobacco with sweet molasses. Moreover, the leaves are used for this dry, without priorsoaking. They contain a lot of nicotine and extraneous tar. When combined with molasses, the mass becomes black. Such a composition was called "zhurak" (jurak). These blends are very popular in Pakistan, India and Saudi Arabia.
2. Over the years, people have become very cautious about the high content of nicotine in smoking products. The industry of many countries began to produce mixtures with its reduced content. Hookah lovers did not stand aside either. A new type of tobacco was invented called "masel" (m`asel). It was produced in two versions: with flavors and without them.
Each of these hookah tobaccos is good in its own way.
Informed choice
Every smoker has a different taste. Some people like the aromas of flowers, while others prefer fruits or spices. According to this principle, the industry produces a variety of hookah tobaccos. The types of this product are quite widely represented in the trading network. Today, anyone can come to the store and buy not only the hookah itself, but also all the necessary accessories for it. Beginning smokers, of course, want to try as many different varieties and varieties of tobacco as possible. But people with experience have already managed to make a choice and find the best option for themselves. To study consumer demand, each company constantly conducts sociological research to find out what the mass buyer prefers.
As a result, a couple of years ago, it turned out that most people, oddly enough, chose blends with flavorapples. A very small number preferred the taste of strawberry, mint, mango and cappuccino. But every year the choice changes, and in the future a variety of options are possible.
Leading Producer
Smoking tobacco for hookah is produced at manufacturing plants in various countries. Its composition is almost the same for everyone. Such a mixture usually includes tobacco leaf, molasses (or honey), glycerin, various flavors and sometimes preservatives. In fact, all these are “oils” - the most popular types of tobacco for hookah. Al Fakher is one of the largest and most famous enterprises that manufactures them.
In recent years, this company has gained worldwide recognition and has become a true leader in its field. She produces a whole series of products with a variety of flavors:
