Definition

A Russian bowl is a special type of shisha bowl characterized by its solid construction and excellent heat retention. Typically made from thick-walled, unglazed clay or ceramic material, it holds heat evenly and ensures intense smoke production. Russian bowls are especially suitable for dark and heat-intensive tobacco such as Dark Blend.

How it works

How Russian Bowl works

The Russian bowl is filled with tobacco, and the material distributes heat slowly and evenly. Due to its thick construction, it retains heat very well, allowing for longer sessions. It is usually smoked with aluminum foil or a heat management device (HMD). Because of its high heat absorption, it is particularly suitable for Dark Blend tobacco, which requires higher temperatures to fully develop its aroma.
