         8 . The hookah bowl system of  claim 6 , wherein the puck unit is configured to be received in the cavity such that the interior base surface of the puck base is positioned between the upper surface of the puck lid and the base surface of the puck housing. 
     
     
         9 . The puck unit of  claim 6 , further comprising a puck handle assembly releasably coupled to the puck base. 
     
     
         10 . The puck unit of  claim 7 , wherein the puck handle assembly includes a puck handle and a handle cover releasably coupled to the puck handle. 
     
     
         11 . The puck unit of  claim 10 , wherein the handle cover is comprised of silicone. 
     
     
         12 . The puck unit of  claim 6 , further comprising an O-ring that is configured to be positioned between the puck unit and the puck housing. 
     
     
         13 . The puck unit of  claim 12 , wherein the O-ring is comprised of rubber. 
     
     
         14 . The puck unit of  claim 12 , wherein the O-ring is comprised of metal. 
     
     
         15 . The puck unit of  claim 1 , wherein the puck base defines an external threading, and the puck lid defines an internal threading, wherein the external threading of the puck base is configured to releasably engage the internal threading of the puck lid. 
     
     
         16 . A hookah water pipe assembly configured to receive a tobacco-like consumable product, the hookah water pipe assembly comprising:
 a water jar defining a cavity that is configured to contain water;   a hookah body defining an internal bore, wherein a portion of the hookah body extends into the water jar such that the internal bore is in fluid communication with the cavity of the water jar;   a puck housing defining a base surface and a side surface, wherein the base surface and the side surface define a cavity; and   a puck unit configured to be at least partially received in the cavity of the puck housing, the puck unit comprising:
