Lounging, Beduin Style

Cancel, Cancel, Cancel! I've had enough Hookah for a while. Headaches were supposed to be reserved for binge drinking, who knew smokin' the Shisha could have the same effect? What really did it was those self lighting coal pucks. NO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use them instead of natural coal. They will make you want to puke & ruin the flavor of the tobacco.

The only acceptable form of coal is natural Mesquite lump charcoal. It is heavy, burns hotter & much longer than other charcoal. Another must is the Apple or Pear head. By placing the Shisha in freshly carved fruit you get a smoother & longer burn. I havent tried this yet, but using a lattice style iron or steel screen instead of aluminum foil should eliminate the, what I've heard, toxic fumes emitted by the foil. Time will tell.

I don't know why, but the sudden urge to trash The General in Super Mario Kart just popped in my head, it's time to set up ye olde Lounge again!
