The Shisha Tobacco
The waterpipe tobacco is a
special damp tobacco,which consists of a mix of Tobacco, molassse and
glycerin. It is clearly soggier than pipe or cigarette tobaccos. Above
all, in European, flavored tobacco is smoked, which is available in
many different aromas. Th emost familiar one is double apple, there are
also other apple kinds as well as cherry, mint, orange, lemon, mango,
vanilla, banana, cappuccino, caramel, liquorice, coconut, multifruit,
applel, rosa, grape, strawberry, peach, melon and cola. In Arab
countries, in Iran and in Azerbaijan, the majority smokes tobaccos
without any aroma. Partly, the tobacco is self-aromatized by adding
orient tobaco and honey. Rarely, the addition of rosa water to the bowl
or special woods to the charcoal. Due to its consistency, waterpipe
tobacco cannot be compared with usual tobacco; because of its high
portion of dump (app. 20 to 40 percent) it has sticky and paste-like
consistency. Due to its humidity portion, the waterpipe tobacco had a
conflict with the present German Tobacco Regulation of 1977, which
states that tobacco to smoke can only include five percent dump-keeping
material at maximum. The customs and tariff in 2004 started to prevent
the import of tobacco which damages this guideline, since then there is
a special tobacco for German market.
The smokers usually moistened the tobacco theirselves, with Glycerin from the
pharmacy or with particularly in the shop or from internet by
available molasses. However it does not bring usually the same
quality as the tobacco, which is already produced by damp retaining means .
