LITVAAZ - umberlo

Hookah smoking is a long-standing, much loved tradition in Middle Eastern culture.  

As a child, I remember the adults sitting around a large hookah, talking, laughing, and smoking after a long day's work.

By the time I was old enough to smoke, I had moved to the U.S. and married a designer. And while I loved smoking hookah, I found the traditional hookah styles cumbersome and old-fashioned.

So...what happens when you combine a hookah-loving man with an herb smoking artist? BEAUTIFUL MODERN HOOKAHS and smoke products designed for today's generation!!

And since no one wants to upset Grandpa, we send a sample of every design back home for his approval before bringing it to market. It's a long process, but it's the best way to produce impeccable products.

Oh, and yes, we do realize that others try to copy us, HOWEVER, they never get it exactly right ;-)
