If you are just about to touch the culture of hookah smoking and do not know what products to start with, then we advise to pay attention to Al Fakher hookah tobacco. And here's why.
History of Al Fakher
The company was founded back in 1999 in the United Arab Emirates. In the country where hookah smoking has its own long traditions. The creation of the company was largely due to the increased interest in hookah. The passion for hookah at that time was experienced not only in the Middle East, but also in the Western world. In fact, it was one of the first companies to consciously adapt its products for the European consumer.
In a short period of time, Al Fakher managed to squeeze Nakhla out of the market. Until that moment, it was the main leader in the production of flavored tobacco - muassel. Muassels from "Al Fakher" became so popular that almost every hookah smoker knows them. Naturally, not a single beginner passes by this brand.
Today the company has an office in Dubai, four large factories and distributes its products in more than 80 countries.
Production technology
Al Fakher tobacco is based on Virginia leaf grown in Germany and France. Production begins with soaking the tobacco leaf, which reduces the nicotine content and harmful resins. Then the soaked tobacco is impregnated with syrup, glycerin and natural flavorings, each of which has its own distinct flavor. The details of production are kept in the strictest secrecy. This allows Al Fakher to remain the most sought-after muassel manufacturer in the world.
Packaging
When the tobacco is ready, it is hermetically sealed. It is important that the mixture, as long as possible, does not lose its freshness, moisture and flavor.
The resulting mass is first sealed in a bag made of multi-layer foil. Then it is placed in a cardboard box, which is wrapped with cellophane on top.
There are three ways to pack Al Fakher.
- Al Fakher is packaged in a 500g box with ten 50g sachets.
- A 250g box with a multi-layer bag inside. The bucket has a lid with a zip-lock, which reliably protects the shisha from air access.
- A 1kg plastic bucket with a multi-layer bag inside. The bucket has a lid with a zip-lock, which reliably protects the contents from air access. Such one-kilo buckets are usually purchased by hookah lounges.
Advantages of Al Fakher tobacco
The main advantage is the ideal ratio of high quality and affordable price. Not without reason you can find muassels from Al Fakher at almost any seller of hookah tobacco (and we are no exception). The high quality is due to the use of only natural flavors and the purity of their taste.
The shisha itself is well, but not overly soaked (you don't have to spin it before placing it in the bong bowl). The temperature of the tobacco is also medium, which reduces the risk of burning it. When you smoke, you get the abundant, but light smoke. Therefore, the tobacco "Al Fakher" is particularly liked by those who prefer not the strength, but the aroma. The aroma is quite good here. The company produces more than 50 brands, each of which has its own special fruit or berry flavor. With such a wide choice, "Al Fakher" tobaccos will allow you not only to find your favorite flavor, but also to create the most artful mixes.
The most popular flavor of Al Fakher is "double apple," which is the brand newbies usually start with. After that come "melon", "grape", "cherry", "watermelon"... You can find the full range in the catalog of our site. Separately worth highlighting muassel flavored mint. It usually goes well with any other tobacco, adding a nice coolness and freshness.
Al Fakher tobacco lines
1. Classic
Well, a classic is a classic. Average sliced tobacco, average strength, standard set of flavors, and a very affordable price.

The tobaccos in this line are more expensive, and for good reason. The tobacco leaf here is more selected and finely chopped. Therefore, it is better impregnated and requires almost no processing before filling. In addition, it contains more quality flavorings and has a richer flavor.

It contains a range of unique flavors that are not available in other ranges.
4. Nicotine-Free
Includes flavored blends created without the use of tobacco. They are good for people who either don't want to inhale nicotine or want to get rid of their nicotine cravings.
I think that after the above, the question of what kind of hookah tobacco to try first will fall away by itself.
