The Four Headed Hookah Bowl
When I arrived at my apartment, I immediately began to setup for my new smoking experience. I could not wait to smoke out of the new four headed bowl. I set up my hookah as I always do and I packed the bowl heads with HookaH-HookaH flavors: Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, and Hazelnut. I covered each individual head with aluminum foil and poked holes in each compartment. Afterwards I set up my smoking area so I could have the best smoking experience. I lit four coals and placed them atop of each bowl head and began to smoke the hookah.
Upon smoking the hookah, my taste buds were filled with the exquisite flavors. It felt as though I had a mouth filled with chocolate covered strawberries with a hint of caramel. My roommate came home from class and was tranquilized by the look of the bowl and delicious smells coming from the hookah; so he began to smoke it with me. The smoke was amazing and we continued to smoke it for about an hour. It was simply amazing how the flavors come together in the bowl and give me a rush of satisfaction. I would highly recommend that any one who comes across the four headed hookah bowl on the website gets one. The experience is like no other.

Sub-Zero Vase Blog
Nowadays it is difficult to decide on the type of hookah to fit your style. Every part of the hookah can be interchanged and replaced with what seems like hundreds of choices - from the unique dish vases to the traditional bell vases, from the smallest 9 inch Widow to the huge 5 foot Harem. Deciding on a hookah is like getting a tattoo; you want something that looks great and you will always want to show off, but still be unique and different from the guy’s next door. There are so many different choices it seems, to set my hookah apart from the rest. From the type of vase, the color and type of the hoses, the type of stem, to the kind of bowl that goes on top, all these parts must intermingle to make my hookah stand out from everyone else’s hookah out there.
For me, I feel the hookah vase is what truly sets a hookah apart. After thinking of how to make my shisha pipe different from yours and scanning what seems to be dozens of websites, I finally came across the perfect vase on HookaH-HookaH.com – the Sahara Sub-Zero Vase.
Take one look at this vase and you’ll know what I’m talking about. Not only are these vases a cool combination of blue and white, but they offer the style and uniqueness I’ve been searching for. The Sub-Zero vase is a large dish vase with heavenly white and blue zigzagging lines, spiraling down from the neck, spreading out as they make their way down the vase and guaranteed never to have the exact design as the next Sub-Zero vase - giving it an awesome exotic look that everyone will be in awe of.
Looking at other vases offered by other sites, I have come to realize HookaH-HookaH.com has just what you want to customize YOUR hookah. You can choose from any vase, any stem, any hose, and any type of bowl offered on their site. Once I looked through their large inventory of hookah parts, I finally was able to decide on the perfect combination to make my hookah a TRUE one of a kind hookah.
I chose the awesome Sahara Sub-Zero Vase, the artful and beautiful 3-hose Persian stem (since your able to make it a 3 or 4 hose stem with a metal adapter), blue synthetic leather hoses, a blue striped double pyrex bowl, and a stylish wind cover… and let me tell you, it is one of the best purchases I have made in a while. It looks awesome. I feel the price for this kind of quality was a steal. I got exactly what I wanted and was surprised with three of my favorite flavored shots, a hookah bag, cleaning brushes, and a roll of that Akhla Charcoal that everyone is talking about - FREE.

HookaH-HookaH’s new flavor lock packaging ROCKS!
Don’t worry fellow hookah lovers, those days are over. Thanks to our friendly neighborhood shisha manufacturers, HookaH-HookaH Tobacco, we can now enjoy the advantages of modernized packaging in a traditional industry. Gone are the days of checking the mail only to find your charcoal, accessories, and shisha completely covered in a sticky red mess. New HookaH-HookaH flavor lock packaging not only looks cool, but is also reusable (let’s not forget those three important words “reduce, reuse, recycle”) and possesses an industry first, the tamper evident seal! Now you can enjoy all of HookaH-HookaH's 35 flavors in durable, compact packaging that provides you with the comfort of a fresh, sealed product.
From the moment that I first heard of this modern shisha phenomenon, I knew I had to try it. Fortunately I live in close proximity to a registered HookaH-HookaH retailer so it was not difficult to get my hands on a beautiful new 500g Carton of my most favorite and delicious Acai Berry. That is when I noticed that not only were the individual 50g jars redesigned, but the overall carton design has changed. No more of that excess plastic use. (Global Warming) The new design is made entirely from recycled cardboard and looks much better than its plastic counterpart. Once I had purchased the carton I inspected one of the individual jars, finding it to be refreshingly different. Then I peeled back the foil seal and was hit with a rush of sensation towards my nostrils. The shisha inside was moist, flavorful, and fresh.
The shisha market has lacked a packaging standard from day one. I think that this new “flavor lock” is the way to go. The ease and cleanliness of these new products is enough of an improvement. Couple that with the advantages of the foil seal and I think that the only thing these guys forgot is the “born-on-date” and I’m sure that is not far away.

The Entrancing Hookah
When I first heard of a hookah, I was with a couple of my friends and they suggested we go up to one of the local hookah bars late one night. They were certain that I would like it, assuring me that it would be something different from anything I had done before. I was more than excited and intrigued as we walked in and were welcomed by the sweet smell of strawberry, cherry, orange, and peach that I would soon learn to be the wonderful smell of flavored shisha.
As we sat down at our table, I looked around and realized that this was the kind of place that I could see myself spending a lot of time. Everything about it said “Welcome!” I loved the atmosphere that the bar created. The bold colors, the stunning hookahs, the soothing music, it all was amazing. I had never seen a place so warm and inviting, and I knew this place would become an oasis in my hectic life.
We picked up the menu, and to my surprise, there was close to 15 flavors to pick from with the option of mixing your own flavor. The flavors included everything I could have wanted. Watermelon, Double Apple, Butterscotch, Spearmint, and Hazelnut were just some of the flavors that we could choose from. After about ten minutes of going back and forth between flavors, we decided on Peach mixed with Strawberry. I knew that it would taste good just by judging from the aroma of the bar, but I never could have expected the satisfaction I would get from the sweetly flavored shisha.
After we ordered, I took a second and sat back with my friends as we felt completely at home in this comforting environment. Before I knew it our hookah had arrived and we began to smoke. As I smoked the hookah for the first time, all I could really think about was how good the shisha tasted and how relaxed I truly was.
Everything seemed to simply melt away as we sat and talked and laughed for over an hour. It was easy to see that we all had found a place that we could always come to for a peaceful and fun night. At the end of our session, I had become enthralled with hookahs, and I knew that I would be an avid hookah smoker for the rest of my life.
So what does this story have to do with the beauty of hookahs? It has everything to do with it actually. The beauties of the hookahs are the stories and experiences that are derived from it. I will always associate hookahs with friends, comfort, and happiness. And when I think about it in that way, there is nothing more beautiful than that. I’ll always cherish the memories that hookahs have brought into my life. That’s why I encourage everyone to go out and make your own hookah story. You can’t help but get caught up in the amazing beauty.

Hooked on Hookah
So we took our seats, drank some coffee, and while waiting on our food (I didn't order the pizza), I noticed a huge brass hookah with a lampshade thrown over the top. The waitress told me it was the Harem and that the establishment was also a hookah bar. She then asked if my friends and I would like to smoke some hookah. I had never tried it before but always wanted to. So we told her to "Hookah us up!"
The flavor was HookaH-HookaH's Keylime Pie, and the hookah we smoked out of was a Sahara Traditional piece. It was SO good, like smoking a slice of delicious home-made pie, if you know, you could smoke pie. We totally forgot about the ghettofied food, and talked for nearly an hour till the hookah was cashed. I've been hooked ever since.
A few months later, I got my own hookah. It's a one-hose sky blue Sahara Vase Bubble, and OH EM GEE, it's SO CUTE!!! I usually smoke it when friends are over and hanging out or when I'm alone by myself watching a movie. One bowl can last about an hour, and it's perfect when I'm watching the OC!

My First Hookah Experience

Hookah Obsession
I walked to my neighbor’s house to find everyone waiting on me to eat. We piled in a caravan of ten and rode to a tiny diner I had never noticed before on the other side of town. We were welcomed by warm smiles and the most alluring scent of apples and berries. The polite hostess showed us to a long table with two strikingly painted vase contraptions. I couldn’t take my eyes off the vases that I soon learned to be called hookahs. Both of the stunning vases were shaped like a bottle and had the most indescribable mosaics hand-painted across the glass. I got some surprised looks, however, when I mentioned I had never smoked a hookah before, they were extremely patient when giving me a “Hookah 101” crash course.
After learning the few tricks I needed under my belt, we ordered from a menu of over 15 flavors! When just a few minutes had passed, they already had the hookahs lit and going. Someone finally passed me a hose, and surprisingly the strawberry-cola mixture wasn’t at all harsh like a cigarette. In fact, it was like nothing I could have ever expected. With every sensual hit my interest spiked and this odd, euphoric feeling washed over my body. Several pieces of charcoal, 2 bowls of sheesha, and two hours later my love for hookahs was secured. With the great company I had with me, I should have known time would fly. By the end of the evening, I knew everything I could have ever wanted to know about the group I came with. Now, every time I hear the bubble of a beloved shisha pipe, it brings me back to the conversations from this night.
