What is Hookah?

 

     If you are one of many who are curious, but do not know what hookah is don't worry because we are here to help.

 

     The custom of smoking hookah has been around since ancient times. Smoking of hookah was actually a sign of prestige and opulence. It is often debated where hookah smoking originated, but many individuals trace it back to Persia or India.The hookah itself is a single or multi stemmed waterpipe that is used to smoke flavored tobacco (narghile or shisha) which is cooled by water. The body of hookah sits on top of the water jar or base. The downstem hangs down below the level of the water jar. Smoke passes through the body and out the downstem when it bubbles through the water. This cools and humidifies the smoke. There are various techniques that the Taza staff will introduce you to so you can get an extra blast of flavor. The hookah can be smoked individually or in groups. We recommend smoking it in a group with your friends as it's a great way to relax or even get a party started. If it is your first time be sure to ask your server and they will recommend various flavors that you will enjoy!
