Hookah Egyptian - the legacy of ancestors

Among the variety of devices for smokingA separate category is the Egyptian Hookah. The country is famous for its smoking traditions. In Egypt, a hookah is not just a pastime, it's a whole culture. It is protected and passed on from generation to generation. The device itself has a number of features. Its design does not change for several centuries.

Hookah in Egypt

This hookah Egyptian under the brand KhalilMamoon is always collected separately. Variations can be a huge amount. A variety of components (flasks, bowls, shafts, hoses) allows you to assemble a smoking device with characteristics that match the taste of the buyer.

The dimensions of the product are always taken into account. Under the height and weight of the shaft, a flask is selected. It should easily hold the shaft in a stable position.

The diameter for the hookah mine is an important indicator. The wider the diameter, the easier it is to smoke. The process itself is designed to relax the person. A narrow shaft forces you to exert a lot of effort to inhale the smoke, relaxation with this option is highly doubtful. Egyptian mines are distinguished by a large diameter, it does not happen less than 12 cm (for real authentic ones).

The mines themselves in working hookahs have a heighta minimum of 50 cm. All that is less is souvenir products. Smoking small hookahs is uncomfortable and also dangerous. The most harmful is getting hot smoke into the lungs. With a small hookah size, a small amount of water in the flask simply can not cool the smoke to a safe temperature.

Huge two-meter copies are designed for interior decoration. You need to have very powerful lungs to be able to inhale the smoke from such a giant.

Bowl

Egyptian bowl for hookah clay. There are modern materials, plastic or silicone, from which the bowls are made, but not in Egyptian products. The culture of smoking requires the use of natural materials. The bowl can be made of ceramic, metal or clay. Has 4-6 holes.

Outwardly, it should not have any flaws,chips, cracks and the like. To check the quality, turn it over with a bell on a hard, smooth surface. A close fit indicates the quality of the product. The inner surface should be free of defects, have a smooth surface and without problems sit on a hookah.

Flask

This element plays the role of the second filter,smoke from tar and chilling it. The size of the neck (its diameter), material, manufacturing technology, the ratio of the shape and size of the bulb to the height of the product - these are the main criteria by which a bulb for a large shisha is chosen.

The Egyptian version suggests that this detailthe product is made of glass. Previously, they were made from fruits - coconuts. But the fragility and rapid damage of such a bulb forced the masters to look for new materials. They used wood, clay and, finally, glass. The shape of the bulb is a bell.

Glass products have a number of advantages:

• tightness;
• Strength (with proper treatment they serve for many years);
• Comfortable in the care (easy to wash);
• they show the water level;
• inexpensive.

The last statement relates to massproducts. A glass hand-made flask will cost much more. Egyptian flasks are qualitative, stable. They are usually painted in traditional for this country motives.

In the market you can find designer flasks. Each of them has a unique pattern and is executed in a single copy. Hookah large in size with such an original and unique bulb can become a highlight of the interior.

Hose

Large internal diameter of the hose providescomfortable smoking. Its length should not be less than 2 meters. Materials from which hoses are made - silicone, plastic, leather, rubber. Sometimes inside is inserted a metal spiral. Not the best option. Over time, the spiral rusts and begins to crumble. The pipe gets into the hose.

Modern silicone hoses perfectlycope with the task of cooling the smoke, are easy to care for and durable. In Egyptian hookahs, leather hoses are more often used, they are more expensive, but they are considered to be the best in quality.

Egyptians always smoke hookah alone: ​​one hookah - one person. Multi-hose products are an invention of Americans. A real Egyptian hookah has only one hose.
