KS Original Patron Ceramic Phunnel Tobacco Head Black - Hookah Head with Phunnel Design

Ceramic hookah tobacco bowl with phunnel design

The KS Original Patron is a ceramic hookah tobacco bowl with a phunnel design. This means: one central opening in the middle, instead of multiple small holes in the bottom. This keeps the molasses in the bowl and prevents it from dripping into the hookah vase. The result is a cleaner session, a more intense flavor, and a longer smoking duration. The bowl is glazed black and has a sleek appearance. Handcrafted in Germany by KS Original, a brand known for its robust shisha accessories.

Why a phunnel bowl works better

With a regular tobacco bowl that has holes in the bottom, the molasses slowly drains away. This molasses ends up in the vase and burns upon contact with water, leaving a bitter, unpleasant aftertaste. With a phunnel bowl like the KS Original Patron, the smoke flows up through a single opening in the middle. The molasses remains around that opening and does not leave the bowl. This way, you utilize the flavors of your shisha tobacco much more efficiently and enjoy each packing for longer.

Material: heat-retaining ceramic

The Patron is made of sturdy ceramic. Ceramic conducts heat evenly, ensuring the tobacco is heated from top to bottom without burning. The inside is glazed. This helps prevent molasses from staining the walls and allows for easy rinsing with warm water after each session. Ceramic is durable, resistant to cracking from repeated heating, and maintains its shape. The black glossy finish will continue to look good after many sessions.

Suitable for foil and heat management devices

You can use the KS Original Patron with regular aluminum foil. Place the foil tightly over the rim, poke small holes, and place your hookah coals on top. If you want more heat control, the Patron also works excellently with a heat management device. A kaloud or metal chimney maintains a more stable heat, allowing the tobacco to smoke evenly and slowly without burning. For beginners: foil is perfectly fine. For more advanced users: a heat management device provides more consistency.

Who is this shisha tobacco bowl for?

The KS Original Patron is for people who take their shisha sessions seriously. Beginners benefit from the foolproof operation of the phunnel design: even if you don't set the heat perfectly, no molasses will drip away. Experienced smokers appreciate the combination of good ceramic, a wide opening, and the option to work with a heat management device. Shisha enthusiasts who smoke at home more often, or people looking for a reliable bowl for longer sessions, will find the Patron to be a good choice.

Setup and use

Pack the bowl lightly: loosely place the shisha tobacco into it until just below the rim. Do not press it down, as this will prevent proper airflow. Then, tightly stretch foil over the rim and use a poker to make small holes. If you are using a heat management device, place it directly on top without foil. Place two or three coconut coals on the bowl and wait briefly for the smoke to start. Is it too harsh or too hot when you inhale? Remove a coal. Too light? Add one.

Cleaning after each session

Thanks to the glazed ceramic, the Patron is quick to clean. Rinse the bowl under warm running water after use. If there are still some molasses residues, you can use a soft brush. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, as these will damage the glaze layer. Allow the bowl to dry completely before the next session. Also check out our cleaning products for a hookah-suitable brush.

Which coals are best?

For best results, use coconut coals. They burn longer, more evenly, and do not impart an aftertaste to your shisha. Quick-light coals are convenient on the go, but sometimes give off an odd smell when lighting that can affect the flavor. Check out our hookah natural coals or go to the complete shisha coals collection for the right type. You will need a shisha coal burner to light them.

Complete your setup

A good tobacco bowl is one part of a complete shisha. Combine the KS Original Patron with a hookah, a good hose, and the right coals for the best results.
