Midwakhとは 意味・読み方・使い方

A midwakh, also spelled medwakh, is a small smoking pipe of Arabian origin, in which dokha, a sifted Iranian tobacco product mixed with aromatic leaf and bark herbs, is smoked. The bowl of a midwakh pipe is typically smaller than that of a traditional western tobacco pipe, lending to conservation of smoking material. It is usually loaded by dipping the bowl into a container of dokha flakes, said when smoked to leave the user in a light-headed state (also known as a "buzz") for a short period of time. Benefits of the midwakh, in common with all one-hitters, include satisfying nicotine cravings while consuming relatively small quantities (25 mg per serving) of tobacco, reducing carbon monoxide and eliminating the nuisance of side-stream smoke.
