NEW Dual head
Now it is possible to buy a dual shisha head. This allows two different flavours to be smoked at the same time. With the dual head a different flavour is packed into each bowl and two coals are used.
It smokes the same as a single head and is much easier to pack when mixing flavours. I haven't seen these in the shops yet, but you can pick them up from Ebay very cheaply.
Shisha tobacco is not your typical tobacco. It's nothing like the tobacco you find in cigars or cigarettes. This smoking blend consists of molasses, tobacco and fruit. This shisha tobacco mixture is very wet, so it burns slowly and as a result it must be smoked using a shisha charcoal. The tobacco comes in a variety of exotic flavours, making the smoking experience very enjoyable.
