Three styles of shisha
- Classic molasses: juicy, sweet and aromatic. Double Apple (anise-and-apple) and Grape Mint are two of the most-loved flavours in the region.
- Dark leaf: a stronger, more robust tobacco with deeper flavour. Dark Leaf Berry and Dark Leaf Mint (200g).
- Herbal: tobacco-free molasses for those avoiding tobacco. Herbal Apple and Herbal Mixed Fruit (200g).
How to pack a bowl
Fluff the tobacco and sprinkle it loosely into the bowl. Don't press it down, and leave a small gap below the foil or heat management device. Packing too tight restricts airflow and burns the top layer. Wet molasses works best in a phunnel bowl; dark leaf suits an Egyptian clay bowl.
Keeping shisha fresh
Reseal the pack tightly after each use and store it away from heat and sunlight. Dry tobacco loses flavour and burns quickly.
