Pavel Savinov’s announcement-BASE. The first hookah encyclopedia?

Just a couple of days ago, Pavel Savinov announced his own book BAZ in the telegram channel “Savinov Says”. It will contain important articles and interviews, he said.

Every year the hookah industry continues to develop professionally. Perhaps this book will be able to systematize all the chaotic information accumulated over several decades (meaning in Russia), in order to become a fundamental Foundation of knowledge for those people who discovered hookah recently.

Will this book be a guide for beginners and those who are curious about the process of sauce evaporation in a Cup? I think so. With a huge amount of information, it is quite difficult to find what is really needed – the industry needed structured information that could be referenced as a source if necessary.
From a similar segment, the creativity of the well-known hookah figure Igor Konovalov and his work “Orden of masters”, “So-so book”comes to mind. But, in my opinion, they cannot be compared, since Savinov’s work is most likely more informative and educational than that of his colleague.

I would like to note that the industry continues to develop in all directions, despite the legislative “sticks in the wheel” and the current problems with the pandemic. The publication of Savinov’s Database is a significant event not only for us as readers, but also for him as an author.
