Coals from a German company have been produced since 2012 — by this time Polish Carbopol (which is also represented in our e-shop) has already become a strong leader on the quicklight coals market.

However due to their innovative approach to the form and production Forty-Four brand quickly became a matter of interest both of shisha fans and big restaurants' management.

We must admit that these coals have at once become our favourite ones, too.

We happily use them at our open-air events and picnics.

The product is made of only wood charcoal and solidified alcohol.

Lack of nitre covering (that is normally present on quicklight coals) saves lightened coals from an unpleasant smell.

On the contrary, iSmoke's friends believe it reminds the smell of campfire or sauna.

As a shape there has been chosen a doughnut and this shape together with its diameter will provide ideal heat exchange inside the bowl.

These coals burn with stable and persistent heat with the temperature inside the coal up to 600ºC and the surface temperature around 300 ºC.

All this provides ideal conditions for the shisha tobacco as it is heated quickly but does not burn even after a couple of hours of smoking.

As the producers themselves say, the hole in the centre is responsible for providing even heat which is because of a draught due to Archimedes' principle.

Indeed, months of coals' testing by our specialists showed that among all the quicklight shisha coals Fourty-Four coals provides the slowest tobacco burning and has absolutely no interfierence with the tobacco flavour, which is quite a rare quality for quick shisha coals.

Advantages - unusual and handy shape - dense and hard coal mass, no crumbling - quick and easy lightening without using a stove - no interference with the tobacco flavor - record long smoking session's time Disadvantages - despite the lack of an unpleasant smell during lightening, it is advised to lighten them outside or in a well-ventilated room, as the strong coal smoke may be lacrimatory.

- nowadays for frequent hookah sessions there are classical coconut coals that have always been and remain a standard as those that are less harmful for your health
