Enjoying Shisha

Hookah, or Shisha, is becoming known as a relaxing and social pastime.  The wonderful aromas, the sounds of the hookah bubbling, the taste of the lovely and smooth flavour of the Shisha on the back of your throat – these are all pulls to enjoy the hookah experience.  The tradition is middle-eastern, and has been practiced for hundreds of years at social gatherings.  The tobacco is soaked in honey and passes through a water chamber before it is inhaled.

Many people are seeking out the best Shisha bars to enjoy their hookah with friends.  If you are in smaller communities like Mulberry, you may have to drive a bit – to Layfayette or West Layfayette.  There is a Shisha available for purchase at a place called ‘Amused’ in Layfayette (765-449-8733), 12 miles from Mulberry.
