At Kaloud, honoring and elevating this timeless tradition deeply rooted in connectedness is built into our DNA. But we’re not doing it by simply preserving the past in the present. We’re completely reimagining it by bringing the innovations of tomorrow to today. Because we believe that your hookah’s quality should equal that of the experiences you create around it with your closest inner circle.
From our circle to yours, welcome to Kaloud.
Our History
2011
Kaloud is founded by Reza Bavar, inspired to innovate the Hookah space and bring together communities based on a timeless tradition.
2012
The first Kaloud® Lotus® Heat Management Device hits the market, revolutionizing the hookah universe. Hookah users are now able to regulate the heat produced by charcoal, rather than setting the charcoal on aluminum foil.
2014
Kaloud releases the Samsaris®, our innovative new shisha bowl. The first Samsaris® featured a silicone outer and aluminum inner bowl with spiral pattern. The name is derived from the Hindu concept of Samsara, the cycle of birth, life, and transcendance.
2017
Kaloud® presents the Krysalis® Monarch® Collection, a crowning achievement in the Universe of Hookah. All Krysalis® Monarchs® come with Dual-Chambered Hand-Blown Crystal Vessel Intake and a Carbon Activated Filtration System to guarantee the perfect puffs.

Generation III is released to the world. With updates to the Lotus® III, Samsaris®, and Aeolis®, as well as new releases in the Calix™, Altaris™, and Sitra™ Stars, to name a few.
2022
Kaloud releases test results showing the benefits of the Ayara™ Carbon Filters, Lotus HMD, and Eltheria. These products help reduce harmful compounds in the smoke produced compared to other hookahs.
2023
Kaloud introduces Cybele, the first Compostable Plastic Tips, advancing its commitment to environmentally conscious innovation. The New Outer and Inner Weekender Bags are released, designed for improved portability, durability, and modern aesthetics.
2024
Kaloud launches the Lotus® I+3, the next evolution of the Lotus® line, offering superior heat control and longer session stability. The Silicone Sleeve is introduced, enhancing grip, safety, and comfort. The Krysalis Bowl Adapter 2.0 is released, engineered for smoother integration across Kaloud’s hookah systems.
2025
The Kaloud 2.0 Generation is finally introduced to the world, marking a new era of design and performance. The release features the Calix™ 2.0 and Eltheria™ 2.0 systems, the long-awaited Samsaris® Clay Bowl Series, the Stainless Steel Series, and the Aeras Duo Ashtray, each redefining the ritual through innovation, precision, and enduring beauty.
