Hookah is cool, I see it as a good alternative to going to a bar, social wise. Hookah lounges are actually pretty good places to take a bitch to without the idiots from bars or spending too much money on drinks. You can pass smoke to each other's mouths, teach the broad how to blow O's. It never fails.
And if the broad is under 21, even better. haha They will think it's really cool. lol There's a few hookah lounges I hit up here in San Diego once in a while. They all sell beer though, which is a nice mix.
So yeah, hookah ain't bad. I like mint, blue mist, citrus mint, code 69 and few other flavours. "Starbuzz" and "Al fakher" shisha are the best IMO. Try it out, it's just another way to smoke legally and it has it's social benefits.
