Default Anyone smoked the Hookah before?

So my friends and I walk into some Egyptian cafe called "Oasis Cafe" to get some grub and for me to try the Hookah for the first time. Anyway, we all get a Hookah each, and I order mine with a fruity mix of tobacco . For the next 3 hours we sat there, smoking and relaxing. I don't know wtf is in the tobacco, but it sure does make you very mellow Can't wait to go back.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has had this stuff before?

BTW, a pic of a hookah is below:

Sure! I had a Lebanese friend in highschool and we'd hang out in his backyard and smoke it after school. Except he called it an Arguilla (?spelling?) He would have so many flavors of that tobacco it was crazy...and yes, his parents knew!

Did that many, many years ago in my drug-using days. It wasn't tobacco.

One of my friends runs simbads cafe in PB. It is a killer place, the trick to enjoying a hookah is getting a very good tobacco. The lesser stuff can come back and hurt your lungs later in the night plus is has a strange aftertaste. Trust me they are expensive for a true hookah but it is like a good tools they will last you forever if you treat them right.

I was taught how to blow glass by a friend a long time ago in a effort to help repair lab equipment for universities after some moron would break a fitting on a 400 dollar condenser and have contemblated buuilding my own for some tieme, but true enjoyment comes from sharing a round.

There's a place in Westwood called Gypsy Cafe that has a night where they bring those things out to the table and you get to smoke from them. Haven't tried it yet.
