Preparing shisha is an art that requires patience and attention to detail. The correct procedure will ensure that your shisha offers maximum flavor and smokiness.
Step 1: Choosing the right tobacco
Start by choosing a quality tobacco. There are many types and flavors available, so it is important to choose one that suits your preferences. The tobacco should be moist and fresh, which ensures a better taste and a longer smoke.
Step 2: Crown preparation
The crown is a key part of the shisha. Fill it with tobacco, but not too tightly. The tobacco should be slightly fluffed, which allows better airflow. Remember to leave a small space between the tobacco and the top of the crown.
Step 3: Using aluminum foil
- Cover the crown with foil and tighten it tightly.
- Then use a needle to poke small holes all over the foil.
- This ensures that the tobacco burns evenly.
Step 4: Heating the coals
Use quick-fire coals or natural coals. The coals should be fully heated before you place them on the foil. Place them on the edge of the crown to prevent the tobacco from burning.
Following these steps will ensure that you enjoy your shisha to the fullest. Also, remember to keep the hose and other parts of the shisha clean for the best experience.
