When it comes to shisha, one term that often comes up in discussions among advanced shisha users is acclimatisation. But what exactly is acclimatisation, and why is it necessary? In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of acclimatisation, its purpose, and its significance in the world of shisha.
In simple terms, acclimatisation refers to the physical and chemical process in which a substance undergoes changes in its properties when introduced to a new environment. To illustrate this concept, imagine pouring water into a glass and placing it in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator. The water will transform into ice due to the exposure to low temperature and different humidity levels. Similarly, when the ice is taken out of the freezer and left in a room at room temperature, it will melt and revert to its liquid form.
In the context of shisha, acclimatisation involves the adaptation of tobacco raw materials and flavorings to the humidity level of the environment in which the product is present. This process allows the tobacco to "breathe" and achieve a moisture balance between the flavorings and the raw materials. Acclimatisation is normally applied on high-strength unwashed leaves that are more sensitive to change in humidity. It allows the unpleasant odour of “Soy Sauce” to go away together with the extra moisture in order to bring out the true fragrance of the flavour.
It is worth noting that today, most manufacturers have refined their production processes to eliminate the need for additional acclimatisation by the end consumer. This means that the majority of hookah tobacco available in the market is ready to use straight out of the box. However, some enthusiasts still practice acclimatisation to enhance the flavours and overall smoking experience.
Benefits of Acclimatisation:
Acclimatisation plays a crucial role in bringing out the best flavors from hookah tobacco. By allowing the tobacco to adapt to its surroundings, the moisture balance between the flavorings and the raw materials is optimized, preventing any unpleasant sensations during consumption. Moreover, acclimatisation can intensify the flavours, making them more vibrant, fragrant, and enjoyable.
You may conduct an experiment with smoking a chosen flavour packed straight from the box and compare it with one that has been opened for a couple of weeks. The difference in taste and aroma will highlight the benefits of acclimatisation.
