Celeste® Shisha

Celeste Shisha by El-Badia: the maison's iconic signature

The Celeste shisha is El-Badia's flagship model — shisha experts since 1991 — and one of the brand's best-selling hookahs since 2006. Now a true icon of urban culture, it brings together a refined design, dependable build quality and a kit designed for modern sessions. It's a versatile hookah, just as convincing for your first serious rig as for a more advanced set-up.

An acrylic base and a ball column for an instantly recognisable look

This model is built around a one-piece conical acrylic base — sturdy and stable — that lowers the risk of breakage compared with glass while sitting perfectly steady on the table. The ball column that punctuates the stem gives the Celeste its signature silhouette and its immediately recognisable presence. The whole thing stays clean and elegant, equally at home in a living room or a shisha bar.

A compact format and a smooth draw

Designed as a compact shisha, this Celeste is easy to handle and store without giving up session comfort. Its smooth draw lets you make the most of the clouds and flavours, with an easy pull that suits big-cloud chasers and fans of a more relaxed draw alike. By adjusting the amount of molasses, the type of coal and your heat management, you fine-tune the intensity of every session with ease.

Ceramic bowl and compatibility with modern heat systems

The Celeste comes with a ceramic bowl, suited to traditional molasses as well as juicier tobaccos, and compatible with phunnel bowls. It also pairs with the main heat management systems, including devices such as the Kaloud Lotus and thermal bowls such as the Quasar, as well as chimneys. A diffuser is available as an option to soften the draw and reduce bubble noise. This broad compatibility lets you build a set-up that's exactly yours, from the most classic to the most modern.

Silicone hose and handle for comfortable everyday use

The kit includes a silicone hose and an aluminium handle for a pleasant draw and easy upkeep. Silicone rinses clean under water, doesn't hold onto odours and stands up well to heavy use, making it an ideal ally for back-to-back sessions. The shisha ships with the essentials to get started: coal tongs, a base grommet and a cleaning brush.

A wide range of colours and limited editions

The Celeste comes in a broad palette of colours and regularly features limited editions, so you can pick the finish that best matches your décor or the mood of your sessions. From understated tones to bolder shades, everyone finds the version that suits them, with the same reliable technical base from one colour to the next.

An authentic shisha, serialised against counterfeiting

Because the CELESTE® — a victim of its own success — is the most copied shisha model in the world, a serialisation solution built on highly advanced technology is applied to every box. It lets you check the authenticity of your CELESTE® simply by visiting www.el-badia.com/verify with your smartphone, for the assurance of a genuine product with quality that lives up to your expectations.

For home users and professionals

Thanks to its solid build and complete kit, this shisha is made as much for home users — from beginners to seasoned smokers — as for professionals. At home, it delivers a real hookah experience without piling up accessory purchases from day one. In a shisha bar or lounge, it wins people over with its iconic look, its robustness and how simple it is to maintain day to day.

The go-to shisha for every moment

The new CELESTE® stands out more than ever as the go-to shisha: the travel shisha, the living-room shisha, the shisha with friends, the outdoor shisha, the shisha of your favourite lounge… or your finest gift. One iconic model that follows you from a quiet session at home to the liveliest nights out.

Why buy it on el-badia.com

By choosing the Celeste on el-badia.com, you're backed by the expertise of a long-standing name in shisha, established since 1991, and by a wide choice of consumables and accessories to complete your set-up. Natural coals, heat systems, molasses, bowls and hoses: you build a session experience perfectly tailored to your taste, with a specialist customer service team to guide you in choosing and caring for your gear.

Expert tip for the perfect session

To get the best from your Celeste, fill the bowl without packing the molasses too tightly so air and heat can circulate, then let your coals come up to temperature for a few minutes before you start drawing normally. Then adjust the position of the coals or the opening of your heat system to strike the right balance between cloud density and flavour intensity, and remember to rinse the silicone hose regularly to keep a clean draw and crisp flavours.
