Double Apple

More specifically, Al Fakher Two Apples – the leading brand in the double apple category.

This flavour has been around for ages, literally. Afzal’s double apple, which is more available locally, has a similar taste to Al Fakher, although die-hard double apple fans can taste a difference.

Double apple flavours are so prominent that hookah cafe’s often separate hookahs that have been used for different double apple brands, simply because either type of distinct flavour is almost impossible to wash out completely.

Either way, this wonderful mix of green and red apple delivers a sweet, fruity and tarty flavour that almost never disappoints.

For those who enjoy the more traditional or old-school double apple flavour – Nakhla’s double apple is the complete classic, keeping the same blends consistent as enjoyed many years ago.

It is most likely that Nakhla’s double apple was part of your own very first ever hookah smoking experience, and remains an all-time favourite among many hookah smokers to this day.

Its clouds are huge and work best with a traditional Egyptian bowl. Newcomers should think twice before indulging in this shisha though, its dark tobacco leaves come with a notable nicotine strength that will leave you lightheaded for sure. If you’re still stubborn to try out the legendary double apple – you’ll be assured to know there are non-nicotine versions of this product available.

Blue Mix

Even though this list is by no means numerically ordered, Blue Mix rightfully deserves its place as a top-runner on any shisha flavour list.

This premium hookah tobacco is one of three other mixes; black mix and pink mix. No need to weigh your options though, Blue Mix specifically surely is something every hookah enthusiast has or had in their cabinet before.

Its exact ingredients are vague, but popular descriptions go along the ways of explosive, sweet fruit and creamy mint. It is sweet, with a linger of mint in the throat.

Blue mix gives a reasonable buzz and is a good fit for beginner and advanced smokers alike.

Fumari White Gummy Bear

Fumari has become a prominent player in the world of shisha tobaccos with their quirky, unique and delicious flavours that all come in resealable packaging for lasting freshness.

This hookah tobacco’s name is pretty self-explanatory – so if you’ve ever had a white gummy bear, you’d know what to expect. The aroma is so surreal that it would mesmerise any creature. For those who are unfortunate enough not to have tasted this little bite size candy before, you can expect a light and sweet pineapple candy flavour.

This is a hubbly flavour that isn’t too sweet – so even if you don’t prefer sweet shishas, you could still enjoy this medium sweetness without getting tired of it.

Combine this with a little mint or something fruity of your choice (in my case peach) and you’ll have a combination your taste buds won’t get enough of.

The name Fumari stems from the Arabic parts’ “fume” + “air”, so if you’re wondering if you’ll get enough clouds out of this one, you certainly won’t be disappointed.

This wonderfully popular flavour can last up to 1.5 hours, even when packed lightly. Remember – the Fumari brand is best enjoyed with a phunnel bowl due to all its juices, it’s also why they last so long!

The buzz one gets from White Gummy Bear is said to be medium, but the flavours are simply so sumptuous that one can barely pay attention to the buzz at all.

Fumari Red Gummi Bear

On to Fumari’s flagship product – it sure is one of the most popular shisha flavours on the market today and deserves a solid spot on this list.

You can expect an almost identical flavour sensation than that if one had to bite into a classic and all-time-favourite red gummy bear; a wonderfully light and sweet raspberry and cherry candy flavour. Wow!

Adalya Love 66

Adalya is another premium brand of hookah tobacco, and Love 66 is one of their greatest products.

Although its taste can slightly vary, this is definitely a hubbly flavour for those who have a sweet tooth in the massive world of shisha tobaccos – its flavour is a tropical fruit-like, without being overly sugary. This might sound contradictory, but it’s just one of those flavours that can be enjoyed session after session without getting mundane. You can expect hints of watermelon, passionfruit, honeydew melon and mint on every single puff.

It’s a great mix for summer and an excellent choice if you’re into the tropical side of things.

It is well worth noting that this hubbly bubbly flavour produces thick, milky vapour – so you’ll want to crack open a window for this one. Also, the nicotine profile is pretty high, so newcomers would want to be careful using this; either mix it up with another fruity shisha or avoid it altogether. (For now) It can potentially cause nausea and an irritable cough.

Adalya Love 66 lasts anywhere from 40 – 60 minutes as most hookah tobaccos do.

Starbuzz Blue Mist

Another one of the most popular hookah flavours to ever set foot in the market.

If you’re set in stone for not enjoying fruity or sweet hookah flavours, this might be the one that changes your mind. The keyword for this one is “fresh”, not fruity. Even though you will taste a clear blueberry hint, it’s balanced out with just the right amount of mint – it’s barely noticeable but brings out the cooling sensation when inhaling.

This is Starbuzz’s flagship product and is great for experienced smokers and newbies alike, thanks to its low nicotine profile. It’s often referred to as the Coca Cola of shisha flavours; it’s available everywhere, everyone has tasted it and it continues to be a best seller throughout the years, simply because it tastes so great!

With Starbuzz products you don’t have to worry about cloud density; they leave nice and uplifting clouds with a pleasurable after-aroma.

Somewhere along the blurry lines of Blue Mix, you can expect a prominent mix of sweet blueberry and cool mint.

It’s not so much of an acquired taste, so beware! Once you taste this shisha, you might never want to go back.

Starbuzz Blue Mist should be fluff-packed and can last anywhere from 1.5 hours to even 2 hours if managed well.

Al Fakher Mint

Unarguably one of the most popular flavours in the world; the basic mint.

Al Fakher’s mint hookah tobacco has the perfect medium to strong mint flavour and can be mixed with almost any other flavour on the planet – enriching and enhancing the flavour delivery in every aspect.

There are many mint shisha variations on the market today, but no one has been able to replicate Al Fakher’s perfectly balanced version; essential fresh mint without having an extremely cool finish or an irritably strong mint flavour.

Al Fakher Mint burns reasonably long and is good for use with groups or on your own.

Social Smoke Absolute Zero

As we’ve learnt, almost everyone is a fan of mint, and if icy-mint (the pinnacle of mint and menthol) is your go-to, this is a shisha you cannot dare miss.

Accurately imitating the feeling one gets when you chew gum and it leaves your entire sinus open and fresh, this shisha delivers a potent and almost “wake-me-up” burst of mint, cooling the entire respiratory system as only the purest mints do. It has a winter-fresh feeling that feels extremely light, yet leaves an impressive after-effect.

Social Smoke is probably one of the most underrated hookah brands on this list, so be sure not to sleep on their huge selection of great tasting hubbly bubbly flavours. Mix this Absolute Zero mint with just about any flavour in the world to add that amazing cooling sensation in your throat with every puff.

Tangiers Cane Mint

A third and final offering for all mint lovers! Cane Mint from Tangiers is indisputably one of the best and most popular mint hubbly flavours on the market today. So much so, that many hookah smokers can’t imagine a good smoking session without the addition of this mint variation. Many suppliers of this hookah tobacco have it flying off their shelves within days of re-ordering.

Its intense burst of flavour reminds you of peppermint candies, which gives it its name of Cane Mint.

Tangiers shisha is known to provide a heavy buzz, so while not a shisha brand you’d want to start with, it sure is a prime go-to for intermediate and veteran smokers.

We strongly recommend using Tangiers Cane Mint with a phunnel bowl to enjoy maximum flavour delivery.

It is most popularly enjoyed with other shisha tobaccos to spice up the flavour, but for die-hard mint smokers, you may only be impressed by puffing on this flavour alone.

Fumari Island Papaya

If you’re a fan of tropical hookah flavours, this one’s for you.

Fumari is famous for its first impression of real fruit pulp aroma when opening its packaging, and if you love papaya, this hookah flavour will definitely be a bang for your buck.

You can expect to taste real papaya in full swing when inhaling, with a close resemblance to citrus melon as an aftertaste. This is for sure, however; you’ll be left with a really sweet, refreshing tropical taste in your mouth after each drag.

Like any other Fumari product, Island Papaya will have you blowing huge, thick clouds of smoke for up to 1.5 hours with the use of a phunnel or vortex bowl.

Don’t even be bothered by the buzz, it’s so light and the flavour so intense that you won’t even know it’s there!

Starbuzz Queen of Sex

The name is enough for it to go around making a name for itself, but the flavour is what really backs it up.

Right off the bat, your nose is met with a smooth lime that is so different, yet so seductive. Take into account the hint of mint that comes along with it and you’ll instantly experience the uniqueness of this Starbuzz mood-enhancing shisha.

Pun fully intended – this should really have been called Starbuzz “Queen of Clouds”, as the cloud production here is phenomenal. People have even reported feeling their senses being enticed, urging them to blow more of those thick, super white clouds. Sounds like a loop-effect, doesn’t it!

Using an unglazed Egyptian bowl, you can expect about 1 hour or more of this unique experience. In the case of using a phunnel bowl, flavour will start fading after about 45 minutes.

She’ll serve you with a gentle buzz, certainly not the same as you would expect from other Starbuzz flavours.

Overdozz Wild Night Out

The only thing in this shisha that resembles the outrageous name is probably the fact that it leaves you craving more, in a good way, that is.

It’s also one of the best shishas for cloud chasers, as the clouds get bigger as the session progresses. And guess what? With the right heat management, you can get between 1 – 2 hours out of one bowl of Overdozz Wild Night Out.

In terms of taste one can expect a lemon cheesecake when inhaling, followed by a subtle presence of Graham crackers. The special thing about this hookah tobacco is that it progresses and changes throughout the session. About halfway through, you’ll get notes of creamy cheesecake as you inhale, with the taste of sweet lemon as you exhale. Heat management and patience is important here; many people mistake it for losing its flavour and end up burning out a hookah tobacco that is only evolving to get better.

Expect a light nicotine buzz that leaves you feeling tingly, although it won’t do much to any veteran smoker.

Khalil Mamoon Mango 

Mango lovers unite – this is the flavour you’ve been dreaming of. It’s definitely a shisha for the fruity lovers and of course, as the name suggests, has mango written all over it.

Enjoy pure mango with each drag, uninterrupted by any aftertastes or lingering side-flavours. And if that isn’t enough, the smoke is mild, making it perfect for beginner smokers.

It’s by far the sweetest flavour I’ve ever tasted, gives a mild buzz and tastes just like summer.

Khalil moon is famous for creating mind-blowing flavour sensations and will have you doubt your own taste buds when exhaling all those thick clouds. Enjoy up to 2 hours of this mango madness – it’s light tingle while maintaining perfect flavour is a perfect escape from any busy day.

Fumari Blueberry Muffin

Another very popular brand of hookah flavour, Fumari’s Blue Muffin Mix is one of those hookah tobaccos that catch the eye, and continues to impress the taste buds thereafter.

It might be easy to think “how can a flavour taste like blueberry muffin” – but this sweet yet buttery mix has the exact taste of tart-based blueberries. Certainly a real-world flavour loved by thousands, and it’s now replicated as a premium shisha tobacco. Enjoy!

Sex on the Beach

This is another flavour that has been around for decades, and its taste is sometimes controversial. (I might be a little biased, as my friends and I didn’t particularly enjoy this flavour many, many years ago) But who are we – the crunching numbers surely don’t lie.

This flavour is a take on the popular cocktail with the same name. Many brands have attempted to replicate cocktail flavours in shisha tobacco products, but rarely succeeded. Sex on the beach by Starbuzz is one of the best attempts so far – you can expect a fruity tropical mix which includes orange, pineapple, cranberry and pomegranate.

Very refreshing if mixed with mint, but also enjoyable on its own as it has quite a unique flavour that can be appreciated by all types of smokers.

Pan Raas

While we’re on the topic of controversial hookah flavours – Pan Raas is another shisha flavour you will either love or hate. It’s an explosive mix of traditional Indian herbs and has such a unique smell it is often thought of as burning incense.

Its taste is a combination of Indian herbs and spices, mint and citrus. There is no other flavour to compare Pan Raas to, so you’ll just have to try it for yourself. It wouldn’t be on this list if it wasn’t adorned by thousands of South Africans.

Fumari Ambrosia

Another top-seller of Fumari; “Ambrosia” – popularly known in Greek mythology as the “food of gods.”

This mixed fruit-salad flavoured shisha contains 0.05% nicotine and is best enjoyed with a phunnel bowl.

The flavour of Ambrosia is one well worth rumbling on. Opening the packet for the first time will have you almost put a knife and fork to it. On the quite debatable flavour side, one can expect a range anywhere from custard, milky cantaloupe, light melon and delicious marshmallows as an aftertaste.

Like all Fumari shishas, cloud production is phenomenal. Using a medium phunnel or vortex bowl will help you achieve hour-long sessions with ease, and will provide consistent flavour to impress even the pickiest of hookah smokers.

You can expect a very light buzz perfectly suited for beginners or those who just prefer a session with less headrush-inducing effects.

Chocolate Mint

An all-time human favourite that is incredibly easy to replicate – choc mint mix is a wonderful combination of your favourite creamy chocolate flavour and the freshness of mint on the side.

If you’re a lover of the chocolate flavour in general and enjoy a fresh minty aftertaste to round it off, choc mint will be added to your favourites list – fast.

It can be enjoyed alone or will enhance and enrich any other non-fruity hookah tobacco flavour.

Fantasia Pumpkin Spice

Raw pumpkin and cinnamon, sounds simple, right? Now before you run away thinking we have no idea what we’re talking about – remember this is a top 20 list based on popular demand. So what makes it so special?

Its complex variety of smells and tastes is one far and few in-between, and is a true treat to the taste buds if you like something other than mint, fruits or tobacco.

Inhaling, you’ll taste a strong presence of cinnamon and nutmeg, while on the exhale you can enjoy the incredibly smooth flavour of pumpkin spice latte – similar to that which you can get at Starbucks. If you’re a big fan of this taste, try exhaling through your nose and thank us later.

Fantasia’s Pumpkin Spice lasts between 40 – 60 minutes, although the largest volume of flavour output happens in the first 40 – 45 minutes, after which you’ll have a dull pumpkin flavour throughout the rest of the session. On the plus side, this shisha is consistent with Fantasia’s brand of thick and milky cloud production throughout the entire hour.

Hydro Herbal Peach 

Hydro Herbal is the industry leader for tobacco-free shisha, and Peach is one of their best-sellers.

It consists of molasses, honey, glycerine and flavouring while staying completely free of nicotine and tar. So, for those who are health-conscious but still enjoy shisha, this is the mix for you.

The taste can be explained as jellybeans and fruit jams; it’s sweet, savoury and imparts a velvety touch to the taste buds. The aroma is no different; a wonderful scent of peach candy that comes with a much lighter smoke than traditional tobacco-containing shishas.
