Hookah History

Exquisite hookah

Shisha originally originated in India in the thirteenth century and became popular in the Middle East from the sixteenth century. The original hookah smoking set includes a cigarette bottle, a cigarette pipe, an air valve, a pot body, a cigarette tray, a cigarette bay and other parts. It is composed of coconut shells and diabolo Hookah Manufacturers tubes, and is mainly used to smoke old-fashioned black tobacco. In the Middle East, especially in Turkey and Iran during the ancient Ottoman Empire, hookah was once regarded as the "dance princess and snake", and then gradually spread to Arab countries, becoming a common way of smoking tobacco among the people.

Hookah can be seen in many works of art handed down from ancient times. Egyptian writer Najib Mahfouz, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, is said to be inspired by the cafes and hookahs he frequents. Some Western media have commented that the thoughts of Arab intellectuals are contained in their smoking pots, which shows the status and popularity of hookahs in the Arab world.

Shisha was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and later became Lanzhou Shisha, Shaanxi Shisha and other varieties, but due to the shrinking market, they have almost disappeared.

The Arabs developed the hookah to the extreme. For Arabs, smoking a hookah is an absolute pleasure. Many people have their own hookahs in different places, and those who want to save trouble and pay attention to carry silver cigarette holders with them. It is not only a smoking set, but its shape is beautiful, and it is also a beautiful handicraft placed at home. Shisha is like alcohol and tea, which is irresistible.
