Definition
A molasses catcher is an accessory for the shisha that is screwed or inserted between the coal tray and the smoke stem. It serves to catch excess molasses—the liquid in the tobacco responsible for moisture and flavor—before it can drip into the smoke stem. Molasses catchers come in various materials, shapes, and designs, with glass and metal being the most common. Besides their practical function, molasses catchers often add a visual accent to the shisha, as they are available in many different colors and styles.
How it works
How Molasses Catcher works
A molasses catcher works by absorbing excess liquid (molasses) released by the heated tobacco during smoking. Without a molasses catcher, this liquid would drip into the smoke stem and possibly into the base, making cleaning more difficult and negatively affecting flavor and smoke behavior. The molasses catcher holds this liquid back and prevents it from entering the shisha. This keeps the shisha cleaner and better preserves the tobacco's flavor.
