Homemade Shisha is way better than store bought

I made the mint shisha (www.smokehookah.info/shisha for recipe) on Friday night. At the time, I thought I added way too much glycerin, I didn't really measure, I just poured it over my mixture until everything was coated. Once it was mixed, I covered it and let it marinate overnight. A group of friends came over to share some tabouli, beer and hookah. We first smoked a chocolate Shisha with chocolate milk in the base, it was very tasty. The second time around we smoked my homemade mint shisha with ice water and altoids in the base. Smoking the homemade shisha made me think we shouldn't have even bothered smoking the chocolate one. The smoke was so thick and smooth, it almost felt like a solid. When we tried talking at first the smoke wouldn't even allow it. We would have to drop the smoke from our mouths, that made for an interesting smoke ring competition. I think the amount of glycerin, accounts for the quality of the smoke. Using the freshly dried mint from my garden, was the key to the great flavor. It was really interesting being able to taste the artificial mint flavor of the altoids mixing with the natural mint. I've been reading up on those legal buds, it sounds fun to get high legally. Maybe I can mix up some into a tasty shisha. I wrote up some recipes, you can click on the link on the right to check them out.
