Shisha bars are the best, i used to go to one in minneapolis a lot, lots of old midle eastern dudes... they eventually taught me some card games and would sit and play cards with me for hours, most have great midle eastern food or delis in them as well. A while back my fiance and i invested in a super nice egyptian style hookah. Most shisha is very pure tabaco as in next to no tar and low nicotine, its waaaaaay smoother than cigs... i would say maybe even smoother than weed. Over the last few months our favorite way to smoke is mix a fruity tasting shisha in our hookah bowl and then sprinkle weed on top, gets us stoned as fuck and is hella relaxing and soothing. No passing pieces back and forth or anything we just both chill on the couch with our hoses
