Picking the right Flavour

It's not only the taste you need to decide on, shisha flavours come in many different forms, you have tobacco blends and tobacco free/nicotine free blends... now you even have blends which don't contain tobacco however still contain nicotine! Choosing the right shisha flavour is not an easy task, it can take many different flavours and brands before you actually land on a flavour which you fall in love with. Unfortunately, we cannot tell you what the best flavour is or what to buy, as this comes down to personal preference, however we can guide you to what we think are good options.

Tobacco flavours

The main tobacco blends used in shisha are blonde leaf tobacco and dark leaf tobacco. Usually when you smoke shisha in a lounge they will be serving blonde leaf tobacco. Brands such as Al-Fakher, Adalya, Mazaya all use the blonde leaf Virginia tobacco. The reason this tobacco is so widely used is because blonde leaf is much smoother and easier to smoke, due to the leaves being washed and reducing its nicotine content. However, dark leaf is produced from unwashed leaves, which have their full nicotine content and are flavoured with molasses, resulting in a dark coloured blend with earthy notes and a high nicotine buzz.
