CIRCLES3 comes as curved segments: three pieces fit together to form a full disc 48 mm in diameter and 22 mm high. The 1 kg box holds 90 coals, or 30 discs – enough for session after session, at home or in a hookah lounge.
Wide and flat, the disc spreads heat across the whole surface of the bowl instead of concentrating it in one spot. The temperature builds gradually, the molasses heats without burning and the clouds stay dense from the first draw to the last. Expect up to 90 minutes of burn time: enough for a long session without topping up.
These coals are made purely from coconut shell. They give off very little odour and stay neutral in taste, both while lighting and during the session, so your flavours come through exactly as they should. Low ash production keeps the bowl and tray clean and cuts down on cleaning afterwards.
The CIRCLES3 format is cut for closed-body heat management devices such as the Kaloud Lotus and for chimney systems. It also works on aluminium foil. Like any natural charcoal, it contains no ignition agent: place the segments on an electric charcoal heater or a stove and wait until they glow evenly red before setting them in place.
Shisha enthusiasts who use a heat management device and want a coal in the right shape, without having to arrange cubes. Fans of long, laid-back sessions who value steady heat. And professionals – hookah bars and lounges – looking for a charcoal that stays consistent from one box to the next.
Adjust the heat by changing the number of segments: three to get the session started, then two if the heat becomes too strong for a delicate molasses. Remember to turn them halfway through the session and blow off the ash to keep the draw clean. A shisha specialist since 1991, El-Badia selects natural charcoals proven in daily use, for private customers and professionals alike.
