After being stuffed into the bowl, the shisha tobacco is heated. A piece of burning charcoal on top of the perforated aluminum foil covers the bowl, allowing heat from the flame to reach the tobacco. At this time, smoke is produced, cooled by the water-filled base, and inhaled by the user. This unique way of smoking is becoming more and more popular among today’s young people and has become a popular social pastime.
Preparing The Bowl For Packing
For great flavor and smoke, proper bowl preparation is key before packing your hookah. We first thoroughly clean the bowl using a brush or pipe cleaner to eliminate any residue or leftover tobacco that can affect taste.
Secondly, Check if your bowl needs a grommet, the rubber seal between the bowl and stem that prevents smoke leakage. If there are cracked or torn grommets, replace them in time to help you ensure air tightness when smoking.
When ready to pack, fill the bowl with shisha tobacco up to the rim then gently pat it down slightly below the rim, being careful not to overpack as that restricts airflow. Here we will share a little trick for you that is to Use foil when packing hookah
Benefits of using foil
Protect tobacco from being contaminated by soot ash
Using tin foil can form a thermal barrier to prevent ashes on the charcoal from falling directly into the tobacco, keeping the tobacco clean and original.
Regulate heat conduction
Tin foil can partially block the heat of the charcoal from being directly transmitted to the tobacco, preventing the tobacco from overheating or burning, and providing a better smoking effect. Therefore, you only need to make some small holes in the tin foil so that the hot air can pass through and heat the tobacco.
Uniform heat distribution
Tin foil can help the heat be evenly distributed inside the smoking bowl, so that the tobacco can be heated evenly and have better smoke production.
How do you wrap a hookah with foil?
Steps:
Clean the hookah bowl thoroughly.
Take a sheet of foil and fold it to match the size of your bowl’s surface.
Press the foil tight against the inside walls of the bowl with your fingers until smooth and wrinkle-free.
Poke 5-10 evenly spaced tiny holes in the center of the foil, about 2cm apart.
Add shisha tobacco, being careful not to overpack.

Smoke while carefully managing heat for the best enjoyment!
Choosing And Preparing The Tobacco
When everything is ready and you are ready to pack your tobacco, Selecting premium hookah tobacco is crucial if you want to have a satisfying hookah experience. We typically like to use Al Fakher because of this. Natural tobacco tastes like mint, citrus, or fruit blends are available in this kind of tobacco. You have a wide array of flavors and blends to choose from. However, once you’ve made your choice, it’s crucial to properly pack the tobacco.
At this time we need to pay close attention to the humidity of our tobacco, which is very important. Because it will have an impact on the taste of the hookah tobacco. If you find that it is too dry, you can add a few drops of honey or molasses to the tobacco and stir it. If it is too wet, you can choose to use absorbing paper to absorb water and place it on top of the tobacco. It can absorb some of the excess water. If you do not have absorbing paper, you can also add a small amount of dry tobacco for adjustment to help you balance the tobacco humidity
