Shisha tobacco | Top varieties buy online

What is hookah tobacco?

We all know it, the sweet smell of smoke, which rises to our noses in front of the hookah bars. The smoke smells like sweet apple, lemon, berries, fruit mix, cherry, menthol, mint, lime, pineapple or a hint of grapefruit. Who Shisha also needs a tobacco for smoking, which is specially made for this purpose. The high-quality shisha tobacco is mixed with intense flavorings, which provide a strong taste experience when smoking. The moist glycerin-enriched hookah tobacco is loosely filled into the tobacco head with tongs, then covered with a perforated aluminum foil, a chimney or a heat management device, on which the glowing coal is later placed. Between hookah coal and hookah tobacco is usually left between 0.5 and 1cm space. This ensures that the tobacco is only heated but not burned. Meanwhile, there are countless tobacco manufacturers, which offer tobacco varieties in various variations. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, because tastes differ. While some celebrate one type of tobacco, others do not like exactly this type at all. To find out which product tastes best to you, we recommend you to buy different varieties in small packages and mix them with your setting and hookah components to test.

What are the ingredients of hookah tobacco?

Shisha tobacco consists of the following three ingredients: Finely cut raw tobacco, which serves as a base, selected flavorings (based on molasses), which provide an intense flavor, humectants and glycerin, which provides a strong smoke. Flavored shisha tobacco is soaked in glycerin and molasses (sugar syrup) with flavorings for many days until it has absorbed the ingredients. After that, the tobacco mixture has a moisture of 20 to 40% and is thus significantly moister than, for example, commercial cigarette tobacco.

Blonde or Dark Blend?

As a rule, the blond Virginia tobacco is used as the starting material for most tobacco varieties. The dark Burley tobacco belongs to the Dark Blend varieties and contains significantly more nicotine, since the tobacco is not washed. The strong Dark Blend is especially appreciated by experienced hookah smokers. Many manufacturers mix several tobacco varieties together to achieve an optimal taste.
