This Is The Art of Cloud

The Communal Hookah

Since the beginning of time man (and woman) has felt an irresistible urge—akin to that of eating one Dorito and then devouring a bag of Doritos because you cannot resist their nasty deliciousness—to feel the magnificent sense of connection.  We are communal beings; we need interaction in order to survive.  Don’t agree, well you’re a sucka!  And also possibly a sociopath… but I digress.  This need is illustrated and satisfied in the most elegant way by the act of puffing clouds from a Hookah, Shisha, Nargile, Gelyoon, and Hubbly Bubbly.

Think about it.  We take three forms of matter into our body (mostly orally, but in some circumstances in other, hopefully creative and painless, manners).  The three forms are: solid (food), liquid (beer), gaseous (air and the divine clouds of the Hookah).  The absorption of these three occurs slowest with the solids, then the liquids, and fastest with the gases we breathe in (watch Scarface for graphic illustrations of this fact).  These things we breathe can, therefore, have the most profound effects on us even though they are by far the most delicate of all the things we consume and take in.

When we share a Hookah with people, we are passing the same Cloud, from the same source from person to person (even if we have a multiple hose Hookah).  We’re essentially sharing the same pocket of air in something that is almost ceremonial.  Throughout history this act of smoking together has always been something that was both social and an opportunity to bond.

Whether you’re smoking a Hookah, cigar, cigarette, clove, or other (insert your puffables here), sharing the experience of these things is always more pleasurable.  We learn about each other, we laugh, we cry, we experience the full gambit of human emotion.  This is perhaps the highest characteristic of the Hookah and what draws me to it so much.  I love people, meeting them, hearing their stories, learning from them, and I love all this even more with a Hookah.

It’s this passion for people and Hookahs that motivates me to build Sparx and make it one of a kind.  It’s this passion that is at the heart of the Art of Cloud™…
