For a great many of us the Hookah or Shisha pipe is a great way to enjoy our favourite herbal mixture or tobacco product, and whilst the beginnings of this favourite have become lost in time, many believe that it was invented in 16^th century mediaeval India.

We know of course, that many people of different cultures have relaxed and enjoyed the use of cannabis and more recently tobacco, although the tide seems to be turning away from this long held favourite. Vaping or E-cigarettes are now the fashionable item, but we have now witnessed a new development, which we have seen requested on our web pages in increasing numbers.

Some German engineer hookah enthusiasts have hit upon a new invention, which enabled them to overcome, what is now a widely accepted ban on smoking in enclosed premises. These German engineers came up with Shiazo Shish Steam Stones.

The idea was quite simple really, most “Eureka” moments are, the natural stones are very small and extremely porous and they injected these with glycerine, together with aromatic fluids which imparts flavour; just in the same way that tobacco or herbal mixtures work. The result is when the stones are heated in the hookah, steam is produced similar to vaping and the result is an intense vapour which can be inhaled and enjoyed.

Experts feel that just in the same way as they agree that E-cigarettes are safer than normal cigarettes, Shisha Steam Stones are regarded as a healthier way to enjoy a smoke, even in public buildings, but even so there are some that still do not understand the difference between steam and smoke!

The Shiazo Shisha Steam Stones are now available on offer from us at £7.99 in four pleasant flavours of Mango, Mint, Raspberry or Strawberry.
