we decided to go out to a restaurant which doubled as a hookah bar at night. I don’t know if it was the amazing flavors, or the rich smoke that was fun watch my friends exhale, or just the group of friends sitting around the table sharing the smoking pipe and the conversation, that instantly made me a fan. I had never heard of or tried hookah before that time, but I knew that night that I had been introduced to my new favorite bad habit – Hookah.

A hookah is a water pipe built from a vase, a stem, a bowl, and a tube. Water is placed in the vase and hookah tobacco, or “shisha,” is placed in the bowl. The shisha is warmed by a coal placed on a piece of foil wrapped around the bowl, the shisha is heated and goes down through the stem, into the water, and then into the tube. The tube has a mouth piece on it from which you inhale the smoke.

Hookah is the name for a tobacco water pipe which was originally developed in the Middle East. Yes, if you’ve seen Alice in Wonderland the caterpillar is smoking from a hookah. Tobacco used in a hookah is called shisha, and what really makes the shisha special from any other tobacco product is the amazing richness of the flavor, and not the icky harsh flavor of a cigarette, but a real flavor such as mint, strawberry, apple or the more custom flavors such as starbuzz’s x on the beach. Another thing that makes hookah special is the ability to mix and match flavors, basically making your own cocktail of shisha, my favorite mixture is strawberry mint, it tastes like strawberries but the little bit of mint adds a cooling feel to it.

Smoking hookah with friends is almost like drinking hot chocolate around a camp fire with some friends, but a little bit more edgy. I don’t know anyone who has tried hookah with some friends and not enjoyed it, the passing of the hose (used to take in the smoke) naturally causes conversation to flow.

Hookah is becoming popular because a variety of hookah lounges and hookah shops are being opened in the United States. A hookah lounge is a place where friends can gather to smoke hookah together. Most lounges will offer drinks and snacks, and some will even offer popular Middle Eastern food and alcoholic drinks. Hookah is fun to smoke because the shisha comes in a large variety of flavors, including guava, banana, tropical punch, and even champagne. The hookah also provides the smoker with a much larger quantity of smoke than traditional cigarettes or cigars. Because the hookah provides the smoker with such a vast amount of smoke, smoke tricks such as smoke rings or hookah bubbles are popular and fun to do.

If you’re looking for something interesting, different and maybe a bit edgy, you should definitely grab some friends and find a hookah bar, if you have more than 5 friends with you you might want to consider ordering two different flavors so that way you can try more than one flavor and the wait for the hose isn’t that long. Also don’t be shy about asking if they could mix two flavors together for you, most bars will charge the same price for a mixed combination. Don’t be afraid to try new combinations, half of the fun of smoking hookah is the unique flavors you can experience every time you smoke.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tom Cruise. Mel Gibson. Harrison Ford. Sylvester Stallone.

What in the world do all of these high-octane megastars have in common? No, they’re not all starring in Mission: Testosterone, this summer’s most muscled blockbuster. But, they do share a unique bond. In fact, they share the same connection with such historically notable folks as Fidel Castro, W.C. Fields, and even King Edward VII.

How could kings, comedians, and revolutionary leaders have anything in common with the Terminator, Rambo, and Braveheart?

It’s simple: They all love a good cigar! No, actually, they all love a great cigar!

And, when it comes to great cigars, arguably there are none better today than those coming from rich soils and humid mountain hillsides of Nicaragua. Long having taken a backseat to the Cuban cigar-making dynasty, Nicaragua is making its mark on the international scene with the finest cigars found anywhere on the planet.

Just like its booming real estate market that has rebounded after natural disasters and political unrest to become one of the best places in the world to invest, the Nicaraguan cigar industry is benefiting and experiencing a renaissance as well. From the center of it cigar revolution in Esteli to Condega and all the way out to the Jalapa Valley, Nicaragua is home to the world’s best cigar makers, tobacco, and established and up-and-coming brands.

With so many great cigars to choose from, the problem for the cigar aficionado and the newbie alike becomes not “How can I find a good Nicaraguan cigar,” but where should I even start? To help you make your way through the jungle landscape of choice, let’s take a look at five all-time favorites.

5. Plasencia Organica Nesticos

Big things come in little packages! The world’s first 100% Certified Organic cigar, the Plasencia Organica Nesticos are pure handmade tobacco magic. These little cigars take advantage of Plansencia’s renowned three-year-aged, organically-grown Nicaraguan tobaccos and serve it up in a smoke-able size that allows you to enjoy big cigar flavor even when you don’t have a lot of time.

4. Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970, Robusto Grande.

Profile: strong, robust, earthy, woody, big, heavy-bodied…you get the idea, this cigar ain’t messing around!

This hefty all-Nicaraguan tobacco cigar was crafted to appeal to an American clientele who could no longer puff their favorite Havanas after the Cuban revolution. Let’s just call it like it is: The Robusto Grande is a big daddy of a cigar • ” both in size and flavor. There’s no getting around the fact that it packs a seriously rich blow with that characteristic Nicaraguan metallic twang. If you like your cigars to knock you out with a power-packed punch, this is your choice.

3. Felipe II Fat Boy

Profile: medium-bodied, earthy, spicy coffee bean aromas, roasted butter finish

Rated 90 by Cigar Aficionado, this ridiculously rich tasting cigar by Felipe Gregorio is definitely round and robust, but has a seamlessly smooth quality that makes it a definite contender. The Fat Boy’s small, but stocky size (3.5 x 55) gives it a definite “Don’t Mess with Me” attitude. When you’re feeling like a fine fatty at a reasonable rate, find yourself a Felipe II and get ready for a taste explosion.

2. Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series

Profile: medium to full-bodied, long finish, perfectly balanced.

If you want to feel like a celebrity, then you’ll want to take a pull on any cigar from the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series. Made to celebrate their 30th anniversary, this line is crafted from only their best tobaccos and is often quite difficult to find. However, when you do get your hands on one, you’ll experience a masterful cigar from first spark to final ash tap. Despite the price, this is a must-have in your collection.

1. Perdomo Edición de Silvio

Profile: robust, delicate tones, perfection

This exquisite cigar is considered by many to be one of the best in the world bar none. With a secret blend of the finest tobaccos, this is the holy grail of cigars. And, although it is by far the most exclusive (read: expensive) cigar on my list, it’s not to be missed. So, when you start making huge profits with your Nicaraguan real estate investments, you can experience a little decadence with a Perdomo Edicion de Silvio.

As you can quickly see, the Nicaraguan cigar revolution is in full swing • ” a rich variety of flavors that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
