Traditional shisha: the handmade artisanal hookah

A "tradi" or traditional hookah is an oriental-style hookah, handmade by an artisan. Traditional hookahs are immediately recognizable by their appearance and very specific design. Tradis are hookahs whose stem is made of sturdy and durable metal. Darnashop offers a selection of traditional hookahs, including small hookahs and original large narghiles. Designed to withstand time, these models are both timeless and extremely robust. The lifespan of a well-maintained traditional model exceeds ten years! The stems of traditional hookahs are hand-engraved and bear the mark of their creator. Khalil Maamoon, El-Nefes, or Farida, these venerable houses will delight you with the authenticity of their narghiles.

Traditional shisha, the artisanal hookah made in Turkey, Egypt, or Lebanon:

Tradi hookahs have another characteristic that sets them apart from other origins of hookahs. Traditional hookahs have a "draw," producing a sound, a resonance during use that is recognizable among a thousand. A true tradi hookah has a heavy and noisy draw, a gurgling that takes you on a journey with the sound alone of the smoke passing through the water! In exchange for this unique and artisanal character, "tradis" are, of course, less standardized and can vary from one model to another. The joints are also not the strong point of these models, which sometimes require a little adjustment... But that's also what makes handmade charm and authenticity!
