The tobacco used in hookahs is different from that associated with cigarettes, or, indeed, any other form of smoking. It is, traditionally, a damp blend--called tobamel or maassel--of fresh tobacco leaves with molasses or honey and semi-dried fruit or fruit pulp. Some smokers would add pomegranate juice or perhaps rose oil to the water, which added flavor to the smoke. Hookah Calgary also mixed with fruit extracts experimenting with various flavors, so that now a virtual smorgasbord of highly aromatic hookah tobacco is widely available.
Since hookah tobacco is very wet it must be smoked using hookah charcoal. Rather than being lit directly, the tobacco is heated with a coal placed on tinfoil or wire mesh above or in the bowl holding the damp mixture. Each bowl of this wet tobacco lasts a long time, usually requiring several replenishments of the charcoal. In the past, among those rituals and traditions surrounding the lighting and smoking of the hookah, or narghile, were strict prohibitions against lighting the tobacco incorrectly or even allowing a cigarette smoker to light their cigarette off of the hookah coal.
