What is a Marrakech pipe?

The use of hookah nowadays has exceeded its region of origin where its use is a well-established social and cultural practice in people's habits. Also called nargileh or hookah, it has now spread widely to both the United States and Europe. Among the essential accessories for the hookah smoker, the hose used to inhale the smoke is of utmost importance. There are many models, but there is one that wins the favor of discerning smokers: the Marrakech hose.This type of hose is simply the benchmark for hookah enthusiasts and professionals. Here is a brief overview of the main features of the star of hookah hoses.

The Marrakech hose, the essential accessory for your hookah

The Marrakech hose is truly the hose you need to fully enjoy your hookah. Simple, practical, and inexpensive, it is the one most used by professionals in tea lounges and hookah bars.

It differs from other hookah pipes by having a very long rigid stem of about thirty centimeters, which provides a smoking comfort that other pipes do not allow. This thin rod that makes up the stem can be made of metal or even glass.

Generally, this very light stem is attached to a PVC hose that can often exceed two meters in length.

The different types of Marrakech pipes

The Marrakech hose is available on the market in metal and glass.
The metal one, which is very often found with hookah professionals, is the best-selling because it is durable and colored. It comes in different sizes and colors, which allows, for example, to have several hoses and not mix the flavors of your different tobaccos. You can then easily change hoses when you change your tobacco.

There is also a glass version of the Marrakech shape, which is rather intended for personal use.This model will delight fans of lightness and more aesthetic products, but it does require more attention. Remove it from the hose after use and store it in a separate place. It would be a shame to break this beautiful hose.

The different accessories for your hose

You will find a whole range of accessories that fit your Marrakech hose to fully enjoy your hookah. There are different types of mouthpieces to equip your handle: flat-tipped or round-tipped. Choose the one that suits your morphology.The silicone hose is the other essential element to complete your Marrakech pipe. Be sure to choose only high-quality food-grade silicone hoses that do not add any off-flavors to your hookah smoke. Finally, the insertion connector mouthpiece is the part that allows you to connect your silicone hose to your hookah.

Maintaining your Marrakech hose

Cleaning your Marrakech pipe is very simple since it generally only requires using hot water to get rid of the grime and impurities stuck on the inner walls. Completely fill your pipe with water, seal both ends, and shake it lightly. Then let the water flow out.Repeat the operation as many times as necessary.

If there are still some deposits, you can use a soft brush like a fine bottle brush, which you handle gently so as not to scratch the inside of your Marrakech hose, especially if it is made of glass.

To neutralize residual odors, a little lemon juice in your cleaning water will work wonders!
