Shisha Online

Not that I sell shisha or shisha tobacco but I just received an email from a company called Smyrna Tobacco and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of them or sampled there herbal shisha tobacco?

Looking through their price list it looks like they have 14 different flavours available in 50g, 125g, 250g and 1kg packets.

The flavours they list are Tangerine, Rose, Two Apple, Cappuccino, Melon, Cherry, Cola, Lemon, Mint, Orange, Grape, Green Apple, Bahreyn Apple, and Strawberry.

I just got back from smoking shisha at Merryland and thought I would write a quick blurb about my experience. Merryland hosts a collection of outside restaurants and shisha cafes located in Roxy, Cairo.

Having not visited for over a year I was surprised when I looked down the shisha menu and discovered that a single bowl of local grade shisha tobacco was almost $4 or imported al fakher shisha tobacco at $6!

I opted for the local grade and selected from the 20 plus flavours a mint molasses manufactured by nakhla. Within minutes the shisha pipe was brought over to my table with a disposable hose followed by a waiter with a pan of glowing coals. After placing the coals on top of my bowl I was set to start smoking.

I started smoking and for the first few minutes the quality and taste of the smoke was unmatched by any other shisha tobacco I had tried before, however after 10 minutes more the smoke had become so harsh it was starting to make me cough! I called over the waiter who took the bowl off and blew through it, put it back on top of the pipe with just a single piece of coal and cleared the smoke from the base. He handed back the hose and said “try” to my surprise the taste and quality was back.

He went on to explain that there had been to much coal placed on top of the bowl and therefore the tobacco was burning rather then smouldering. So if you ever find your shisha tasting a bit harsh reduce the amount of coal.

Yesterday I met with the manufacturers of Saalaam herbal shisha. Saalaam herbal shisha is a new herbal molasses for shisha pipes manufactured in Egypt.

The manufacturers claim that only organic ingredients are used in the blend making for the smoothest herbal shisha yet. Saalaam shisha tobacco free molasses is 100 % Nicotine Free but still tastes great

I only sampled the one flavour (Boyson Berry) but thoroughly enjoyed it. A clean, sweet, strong while smooth shisha flavour that compares well against other herbal shisha brands.
