shishas
Middle Eastern pipes
Shishas is the plural of shisha, a water pipe used for smoking flavored tobacco.
The tobacco, often mixed with molasses and fruit flavors, is heated with charcoal while smoke passes through water before inhalation.
Shisha is popular in Middle Eastern cafés and hookah lounges: We ordered shishas and mint tea.
Also called hookah or narghile.
