“We love bringing centuries of
craftsmanship to modern smoking.”
The engravers themselves belong to a fading generation. For centuries, this craft was passed from father to son, each learning from childhood under the guidance of a master. But as times changed, so did interests and opportunities, leaving fewer young artisans to inherit the trade. Many of Shika’s engravers have spent decades perfecting their skill in gallery work, and now pour that lifetime of mastery into each stem—making every Shika hookah not only rare, but irreplaceable.
Founded over 13 years ago through the passion of true hookah enthusiasts, not individuals born into the industry, Shika Hookah was built on choice, not circumstance. This unique perspective gave the brand an edge: the ability to see hookah culture from the smoker’s point of view while understanding the modern, global market. It allowed Shika to become the bridge between the deep heritage of Egyptian craftsmanship and the evolving needs of communities across the USA, Europe, Brazil, Japan, and beyond.
The Spirit Behind the Name
The name “Shika” itself is a tribute to resilience and artistry, inspired by a legendary athlete celebrated for standing against discrimination, corruption, and the abuse of power, while remaining unmatched in talent and creativity. Those same values live in every hookah: strength, individuality, and an uncompromising dedication to excellence.
