I heard that most poker players like to smoke. I am a kind of crazy person and smoke almost every day. I would like to develop this topic a little on the forum and tell about my smoking experience, describe the tobaccos I tried, mixes, hookahs, packing methods, etc. Maybe it will be useful to someone, maybe someone will tell something new and interesting.

I started getting into this business a year and a half ago, the first Chinese hookah Agger or Ager, in general it does not matter what you call this crap. Terrible draft, over time the shaft begins to rot from the inside. Then, gradually getting into the topic, I bought my first Khalil Mamoon. Now this is undoubtedly the best hookah in terms of price-quality ratio. Good draft, durability, ease of use, in general a classic of the genre. Then I tried glass a la Temple and Aladdin, good draft and flavor transfer. Looks beautiful. But the main problem is the short life of such hookahs, both hookahs were bought at different times and neither remained completely intact after 2 months of use. Well, I will finish my short experience of chimneys, top units in my opinion:

1) Otivana hookah (from Ivan):

Top hookah with a detachable shaft. The best draft! You do not smoke, you breathe. No resistance. The hookah is made of aircraft aluminum, the shaft has a wider diameter than KM's and a diffuser at the end, due to which incredibly easy draft is obtained, as well as silent smoking. Everything is made of very high-quality material. The only problem is the price, it is exorbitantly high. Such a hookah will cost 15,500 rubles, which is a lot compared to the price of KM (4,000-5,000 rubles). But I still decided to order this shisha machine, and having tried it in one of the establishments in Penza, I was absolutely delighted. It will arrive in a couple of days, I will tell you more in detail.

2) Starbuzz hookah

Another undisputed top on the hookah market. Ideal draft, but in my opinion a little worse than "Vanya", but the Americans approached marketing very well. Each hookah is released in beautiful packaging, has its own serial number and, most importantly, a five-year warranty. The shaft itself is also made of aviation aluminum, and the inner tube is made of medical steel, due to which the shaft does not absorb odors and when smoking again, you will not feel the smell of the previous filling. I also smoked it a couple of times in establishments, I am very pleased. Of the minuses, again, the price. Moreover, it is several thousand more than Ivan. Well, it is quite logical, because Starbuzz is one of the most popular hookah brands.
