What is an Arguileh?
Arguileh is a Middle-Eastern smoking tradition that began hundreds of years before the invasion of the big American cigarette companies and is one of the most common and interesting sites of the Arab World. There are numerous cafes where one can lie on long cushions and spend the time talking to your friends and enjoying this Arab delight. Tobacco is soaked in fruit shavings such as strawberry, apples or grapes. This mixture is then smoked through a large water pipe (called Arguileh). Men and women of the upper classes in the Arab world have been entertaining guests with Arguileh pipes for centuries. Moreover, there are hoards of Arguileh purists who truly cherish this tradition.
With the invention of the Arguileh or "shisha" over 500 years ago, the Turks refined smoking to an artful and elegant ceremonial experience to be shared in the company of friends.
The arguileh uses a small charcoal tablet to gently heat a special, flavor-infused tobacco blend. The tobacco never burns, but is filtered as it is drawn through the water-filled, hand-blown glass base and inhaled through ornate, embroidered hoses. The vapor is incredibly smooth, sweet and aromatic.
