Hookah lounges are a common fixture of American and European urban spaces; how familiar to us were historical Hookah pipes? The taste, the harshness, the setting, the materials, etc.

This answer by /u/textandtrowel mentions the creation of the hookah as early as 1600 and may be of interest to you.
