Hookah

One thing that continues to surprise me every day and is the ability of the Turks sit and chat, while playing a game of backgammon or "okay" and smoked hookah. It seems the world is paralyzed for them, without haste and without strain. They can spend hours and hours and, just enjoying a good chat with a friend or friends, pipe passing each other repeatedly.

A habit that I love, and in Europe at least, not often seen. A great combination: people, coffee, Play and hookah.

Also called nargileh, cachimba o shisha. It is used for smoking different flavors of snuff, hierbas sin nicotina o shiazo steam stones (substitute snuff hookah or herbs developed in Germany).

It is a very old tradition in Turkey, a very ingrained habit. Formerly other smoked Turkish snuff, but today has been replaced by the aromatic and flavored snuff.

This item is used daily for hours for many millions of people in Asia, America, Europa y África, both street cafes and houses.

Many times smoking a hookah is a mere pretext to encourage conversation and spread a little leisure time.

In all Turkish cities are places, usually cafes where you can not smoke in these pipes. There you will offer the snuff, the most popular, the apple and a disposable mouthpieces that we exchange with no problem.

  1. Approximately how much can cost a hookah in Turkey and roughly when it would be in euros ? Thanks in advance .

    • Hi Hector, complete it can find hookah from 40 Tl (17euros) and thence up, by material, size, handwork,… Some are small they are even cheaper, but I understand that one-size questions. Actually bottle “hookah bottle” It is the cheapest among 10-20 Tl, the sea from 3.5 Euros. It is the “hookah for evil” which increases, as it can be of very different materials, as silver, bronze, alpaca,… And many with beautiful carvings.
