What molasses means here
Blonde leaf tobacco washed and soaked in molasses, glycerine and flavouring. The result is wet, sweet and comparatively mild, which is what most people picture when they think of shisha. It is forgiving with heat and suited to long social sessions.
The flavours we stock
- Double Apple — apple with aniseed, the regional standard.
- Grape Mint — juicy grape with a cool finish.
- Lemon Mint — sharp citrus, the best mixer in the range.
- Blueberry — dark and jammy, holds up over a long bowl.
- Watermelon Mint — light and undemanding, good in summer.
Pack sizes and what they cost you
250g is about 12 to 25 bowls and suits most households. The 1kg tub drops the price per bowl considerably but needs discipline: decant a week's worth and keep the rest sealed, or it will dry before you finish it.
Bowl and heat
Wet molasses belongs in a phunnel bowl, which keeps juice out of the stem. Pack loosely, leave a gap below the foil or heat management device, and start with two coals. Adding a third is easy; recovering a scorched bowl is not.
Mixing
Molasses mixes readily. Double Apple with Lemon Mint is the most common combination in the region; berry with mint is the hardest to get wrong.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between molasses and dark leaf?
Molasses uses blonde leaf: wetter, sweeter and milder. Dark leaf is stronger in both nicotine and flavour, and drier to pack.
How many bowls will 250g make?
Roughly 12 to 25, depending on bowl size. Most bowls take 10 to 20g.
Which bowl should I use?
A phunnel. Molasses is wet and a phunnel stops juice draining into the stem.
Is the 1kg tub worth it?
Per bowl, yes. Decant a working amount and keep the main tub sealed so it does not dry out.
Can I mix flavours?
Yes. Double Apple with Lemon Mint, or any fruit with a mint, are reliable starting points.
