Hookahs & Shisha

From traditional waterpipes to modern compact rigs, Smokers Haven carries New Hampshire's most complete hookah selection. Starbuzz shisha flavors, premium charcoal, and expert guidance always included.

How It Works

Anatomy of a
Hookah Setup

A hookah has just five key components. Understanding them helps you pick the right setup — and keep it running well for years.

The Bowl

Sits at the top of the hookah and holds the shisha tobacco. Clay and ceramic bowls retain heat well. Silicone bowls are nearly indestructible. The bowl type directly influences how evenly your shisha heats.

The Shaft & Stem

The central column that connects the bowl to the base. Air and smoke travel down through the shaft and into the water. Stainless steel and aluminum shafts are the most durable and easy to clean.

The Water Base

Glass or acrylic vessel filled with water. Smoke is pulled through the water, cooling and filtering it before inhalation. The water level should cover the stem by about one inch for optimal draw.

The Hose

Flexible tube used to draw smoke from the base. Traditional leather hoses absorb flavor over time. Modern washable silicone or acrylic hoses give a cleaner, more consistent draw. We carry both styles.

Charcoal

The heat source for the shisha. Natural coconut shell charcoal burns clean and long, ideal for flavor. Quick-light charcoal is faster to ignite. We carry both types at all Smokers Haven locations.

Questions About Hookahs & Shisha

Frequently Asked Questions

What is shisha and how is it different from cigarette tobacco?

Shisha is flavored tobacco mixed with molasses or honey and heated indirectly with charcoal in a hookah. Unlike cigarettes, shisha is not burned. Instead, it's slowly heat-vaporized, producing a thicker, sweeter smoke. Nicotine content varies by brand and flavor.

What hookah brands do you carry at Smokers Haven?

We stock the Starbuzz Premium Shisha line, one of the most respected hookah tobacco brands with 50+ unique flavors. We also carry a curated selection of hookah hardware across traditional and modern styles. Ask your local store for current availability.

What charcoal is best for hookah?

Natural coconut shell charcoal is widely regarded as the best option because it burns longer, produces less ash, and adds no off-flavor to your shisha. Quick-light charcoal is more convenient but can affect flavor. We carry both at all Smokers Haven locations.

How do I set up my hookah for the first time?

Fill the base with cold water (stem submerged ~1 inch), pack shisha loosely in the bowl, cover with punctured foil, add lit charcoal on top, and draw slowly to build heat. Our staff will walk you through this in-store with any hookah purchase, free of charge.

Can I get a discount when buying hookah accessories?

Ask about our Loyalty Rewards program: Earn 10 points per visit and redeem them for $15 in store credit toward any purchase, including shisha, charcoal, and accessories. Sign up free at any Smokers Haven location.

What accessories do I need for a hookah session?

You'll need charcoal, aluminum foil or a heat management device, and a lighter or coil burner. Optional but helpful: a hookah tray (for ash), extra hoses, replacement bowls, and tongs. We stock all of these at every location.
