Shisha Shops in the U.S.

By John McCree


As hookahs are becoming popular through the entire U.S., hookah bars and hookah shops are increasing in the country. There is an ever increasing demand of hookahs and shisha in the market. But, as with nearly every physical product of the 21st century, shisha sales and distribution are driven more and more by the online marketplace. That's not to say that the local neighborhood shisha store doesn't have its place. It definitely does. Shisha shops tend to be more heavily concentrated in the same sort of locations where hookah lounges are found; larger ethnic towns, and near colleges and universities.

What Do They Sell at Shisha Shops?

You can find anything and everything connected with shisha in a shisha shop. This includes all the components of the smoking device, commonly referred to as the "hookah", along with maintenance materials, and the shisha tobacco itself. Common store items consist of:

1. Shisha tobacco - The flavorful tobacco that is burnt in the hookah is known as shisha. The flavors are typically fruit based. Some preferred brands are Starbuzz, Fantasia and Nakhla, while some of the most widely used flavors are banana split, mango and pink lemonade.

2. Hookah Pipes - It is the smoking device that is used to purify and inhale shisha smoke. A lot of different styles, shapes and sizes can be found in hookah pipes. Your choice depends upon how you want to use your hookah. If you want your hookah to be used as a decoration piece, you should purchase a stylish hookah pipe. If you wish to bring your hookah with you while traveling, a smaller hookah pipe would be considerably better for you.

3. Charcoal - If there is no coal, there is no smoke. You can find a variety of charcoals at virtually every shisha shop. It might appear that charcoals are all the same, but it is incorrect. There are self igniting charcoal that needs to be light on one side and the remaining charcoal burns itself. Then there are charcoals that should be heated in a charcoal heater or in a fire. It is argued that the latter surpasses the former as it burns for longer and offers an ideal temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - There is a long list of things that can be added to a hookah for fashion or for function. Two of the most used accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen is used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the attaching parts.

Web Based Shisha Stores

Just like anything, shisha-related products can be purchased online at times more easily than walking or driving to the area store. However, purchasing goods online has some disadvantages:

1. You will have to wait several days for the product to arrive

2. Can't physically check the products before purchasing

3. Can't see items firsthand and ask questions to the vendor before buying

Online purchasing is advisable when the buyer is more experienced and knows what flavor he or she would like, which brands he trusts, and is prepared to wait a couple of days for the purchase to arrive.

If this sounds like a route you are prepared to take, a simple Google search can lead you to some great resources to facilitate an order.
