“Smoking a hookah is nothing like smoking a cigarette…cigarettes are for nervous people, competitive people, people on the run…when you smoke a hookah, you have time to think. It teaches you patience and tolerance, and gives you an appreciation of good company.” -Ismet Ertep

Hookah is more than just pastime, it’s a culture. It’s an experience to be shared with friends, family and strangers alike. We love it so much that we wanted to make an online magazine dedicated solely to hookah… or narghile.. or shisha… or ghelyoon… whatever feels right.

This blog/online magazine aims to provide a resource for hookah smokers to keep up with current news, trends and information on hookah.  You’ll find useful guides, how-to’s and tips for enhancing the hookah smoking experience.  We will recommend music that complements hookah and creates that perfect ultra-chilled ambiance.  And the most important thing is that we are open to your ideas and contributions.

We want to be a place for you to submit your photos, music selections, articles, guides, links, etc.  This magazine is for you, shisha stoner.  We hope you enjoy.
