As hookahs are becoming popular all over the U.S., hookah bars and hookah shops are increasing in the country. The relaxing effect of shisha is among the factors why hookah and shisha demand are rising. However, like with nearly every physical product of the modern day, shisha sales and distribution are driven more and more by the online marketplace. It doesn't mean that a local shisha shop does not have any sales. It definitely does. Shisha shops tend to be heavily concentrated in the same type of areas where hookah lounges are found; larger ethnic urban centers, and near universities and colleges.

So What Can I Find at Shisha Shops?
Normally, any item connected with smoking shisha is available at a store. The maintenance equipment, the device generally known as hookah, hookah components, shisha (flavorful tobacco) and other things. Four things that you will get in nearly every shisha store are:

1. Shisha tobacco - The flavorful tobacco that is burnt in the hookah is called shisha. The flavors are normally fruit based. Some widely used brands are Starbuzz, Fantasia and Nakhla, while some of the most widely used flavors are banana split, mango and pink lemonade.

2. Hookah Pipes - It is the smoking device, which is used to purify and inhale shisha smoke. Lots of different styles, shapes and sizes can be found in hookah pipes. Some pipes are made elegantly to be used as an ornamental piece in the house, while certain are large with several hoses that can be used for multiple smokers in one shisha session.

3. Charcoal - When there is no coal, there is no smoke. So, most shisha shops carry a selection of charcoals too. All the charcoals aren't the same and charcoals can have considerably different qualities. Certain charcoals are €self-lighting€, allowing the smoker to light one portion of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. Other sorts of charcoal might need to be heated in fire or a charcoal heater. It is contended that the latter is preferable to the former as it burns for longer and offers an optimum temperature.

4. Hookah Accessories - There is a large list of stuff that can be added to a hookah for fashion or for function. Two of the most common accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen can be used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the connecting parts.
