Hookah Bars are just cool. Between the age of 18-22, there's really not much to do than study, drink beer illegally, go to date parties, party at frats and well, of course, go to a hookah bar. The hookah bars caters to the x and y generation like no tomorrow. Being restricted to go to bars that serve alcohol, the smoking alternative seems to provide a lot of entertainment to many preadults. So when you go to a hookah, you may find groups of young adults sitting in groups and chatting to Arabic music and smoking away their hookah. Hookah bars are gaining a lot of popularity and it just cool to go to hookah bars with friends and smoke shisha.
What else is there to do on a random college night when the bars are 21 +? Exactly why most of these hookah bars are most successful near the vicinity of a college. For example, Westwood Village has 2 hookah bars, and their liquor store carries predominantly hookah supplies due to it demand. I am sure in many other cities, hookahs bars are positioned to influx of young college students. Just remember to smoke hookah in moderation and do not attend a bar more than once a month! Save money and your health!

Hookah Genie recently paid a visit to Caravansarai Imports, a hookah distributor located in Southern California. I met with the owner to discuss hookahs, but our conversation led to talking about life, and I cannot mention how much I learned from the gentlemen who runs Caravan Hookahs. He is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable men I know. Anyway, Caravan Hookahs if you already have not studied or heard about are one of the best Egyptian Hookahs imported from the Middle East. All Caravan Hookahs are handmade and they contain unique pieces of artwork on the vase. Each vase is delicately hand painted, so each Hookah you purchase will be unique. If you smoke hookah, then caravan hookahs are a must for your special occasions. In addition, these type of hookahs are ideal for cafe's.

The Mya Saray QT Hookah is probably one of the best Chinese made hookahs to hit the marketplace after the most popular 17'' Juniors made by Mitsuba. The Mya Saray QT is only 14'' high and has an ultra modern look to it. This mini Hookah is extremely durable and the steel cage that comes with it makes it to carry around. Most importantly, this Mya Hookah hits like a champ for its size. It is a bit expensive but that's because its not made with cheap metals and glass like other Chinese hookahs.

Nakhla Tobacco is one of the most popular tobacco manufactuers in the Middle East. It is produced by the world's largest Hookah tobacco manufacters in the world, as well. During my trip in the Middle East last summer, every street corner I passed, they had Nakhla Flavored Tobacco. I rarely came across the tobacco brands we have in the states. It was odd, how the largest world's largest hookah smoking population was not exposed to brands like Starbuzz or Fumari.
In the states, we have over 1000s of different hookah flavors, but in the motherland where these hookahs are a tradition and part of a long culture, Nakhla Tobacco was the most popular and widely used brand. With Nahkla, the tobacco scent is more potent as opposed to other tobaccos I have smoked and I consider it as one of the more authentic tobaccos from Egypt.

 When I was first introduced to Fumari, I was in my Freshman year of college and a couple buddies of mine took a trip down to San Diego. Since I was 18 years of age at that time, it was pretty difficult to get into bars around the Gas Lamp district until we came across a long line of young girls waiting to be sat at a place I later became familiarized to be called Fumari Lounge. We waited only 5 minutes and sat down in their front patio and ordered my first Fumari tobacco blend hookah. If I am not mistaking, we ordered their Peach flavor tobacco, which tasted delicious. They also at the time used Japanese coals, which was a step ahead of the hot dog style cafe coals. My friends and I fell in love with their tobacco and ended up purchasing like 5 100grams of Fumari Tobacco to take back home because at the time they had no online presence nor were they as branded as today. Five years later, Fumari is attempting to capture the hearts of national and global audience, and introduce their product to the world. Fumari Tobacco has changed significantly from selling their tobaccos in tubs to a more mainstream, branded packaging. Overall, the lounge had to be one of the best I have been to and the tobacco blend at the time was great. I have yet to try any of their flavors, but I am guessing they are as good as before.

In the last few centuries, this ancient tradition has been past down.

Authentic Egyptian Hookahs consist of a hand painted glass bowl, a metal stem, and a ceramic handmade clay bowl. The following criteria are the best explanation of a basic Egyptian Hookah. The heights of Egyptian hookahs are typically taller than normal hookahs and work very smooth. The best part of Egyptian Hookahs is their quality. They last a long time and work great consistently.
