Malabar Hookah


Recommended Posts

I have used modern hookahs before and understand them fully, but I just bought a malabar hookah from israel and wanted to know how it works and whats inside it. It looks like it has a coconut shell inside the water base.
ANY help would be greatly appriciated!!!!

thanks

Will have pictures up soon when i get back to the states.

I don’t know if there is any point in replying a post this old, but as a native to where this hookah is made I must.

malabar hookah is made by moosarikandi coppersmiths in the northern part of Kerala (Indian state) called malabar or to be exact koyilandy. And yes the water base is made of coconut shell. It became popular some 500 years ago while a group of merchants from Yemen introduced it to the world.
