Blackburn - Red K - 100 g

Blackburn Red K 100 g is a Dark Blend hookah tobacco from Russia: red kiwi with strawberry. A 100 g tin fills about eight bowls.

This is how Red K tastes

Red K stands for red kiwi: sweeter and less sour than green kiwi, with fruity strawberry. The kiwi comes first and the strawberry rounds it off with sweetness.

Packing a bowl with dark Burley

Blackburn is made of dark Burley and is stronger than Virginia tobacco. Stir the tin once before every bowl, because the molasses settles at the bottom. In the phunnel, the moist tobacco sits above the hole: pack it loosely, leave a few millimetres of air on top and do not press it down. Put an HMD or thick aluminium foil on top. Start with low heat and only add charcoal when the smoke gets thinner.

If Red K on its own is too strong for you, mix a small part into Virginia tobacco and raise the share to taste.
