We’ll show you what really matters when buying tobacco, explain what Virginia, Burley, or Dark Blend mean, and why 200g cans are finally back.
Shisha Tobacco – The Centerpiece of Your Setup
Every great hookah starts with the tobacco. And the better the shisha tobacco, the more intense the flavor experience. That’s why we offer a huge selection of hookah tobacco – with hundreds of flavors from top brands like HOOKAIN, Holster, Nameless, Darkside, or Fog Your Law. From classic fruity to sweet and creamy – there's something for every bowl and every mood.
Why Has Shisha Tobacco Become So Expensive?
Since 2022, the annual tobacco tax increase has been driving up prices – not just for cigarettes, but also for hookah tobacco. Prices will continue to rise step by step until 2026. Still, many people continue to enjoy hookah. Why? Simple: it’s all about the experience. And many manufacturers now deliver premium quality that justifies the price.
Here’s the good news: the 25g rule was overturned in July 2024. Since then, you can legally buy 200g cans of shisha tobacco again – which saves money and reduces waste.
What Makes Good Shisha Tobacco?
Good shisha tobacco is defined by three key things: high-quality base tobacco, well-balanced flavors, and a moist, slightly sticky consistency. The most common base is Virginia – mild, low in nicotine, and rich in flavor. But there’s also Burley – stronger, more bitter, and for experienced smokers.
How shisha tobacco is made:
- Dry and shred raw tobacco
- Mix with glycerin & sugar solution
- Add flavorings and let it mature
- Package and sell
Some types – especially Dark Blends – are intentionally not washed to preserve the nicotine. These blends are stronger, hit faster, and require more experience when setting up.

FAQ: All About Shisha Tobacco
Which shisha tobacco is good for beginners?
If you're just starting out, go for Virginia tobacco. It's mild, low in nicotine, and easy to use. Brands like Al Fakher, Holster, AINO, or Aqua Mentha are perfect for beginners.
What’s the difference between Virginia and Burley?
Virginia is bright, slightly sweet, and low in nicotine – ideal for beginners. Burley is darker, stronger, and has much more nicotine. It’s mostly used in Dark Blend tobaccos for a more intense experience.
How is shisha tobacco made?
The base tobacco (usually Virginia) is cut, washed, mixed with glycerin and molasses, and flavored. After maturing, it’s ready to smoke. Some brands like Darkside skip the washing – this creates Dark Blends with higher nicotine levels.
What is Dark Blend shisha tobacco?
Dark Blend is a mix of dark, often unwashed tobaccos like Burley or Oriental. It’s high in nicotine and full in flavor. Perfect for experienced smokers used to strong setups.
Can I buy 200g shisha tobacco again?
Yes! As of July 1, 2024, the old 25g regulation has been lifted. You can legally get 200g cans again – more practical, cheaper, and better for the environment than lots of small packs.
Why are mint and menthol flavors banned?
Since May 2020, menthol and mint as flavor additives in tobacco products are legally banned. Many brands now use smart two-component systems or cooling substitutes – so you still get your refreshing kick.
How much nicotine does shisha tobacco contain?
It depends on the base tobacco. Virginia contains about 10 mg of nicotine per bowl, Dark Blend can have up to 3–4%. Thanks to water filtration, the effect is milder than with cigarettes.
Can I smoke shisha tobacco without nicotine?
Yes! There are nicotine-free alternatives like cellulose-based tobacco or vapor pastes (e.g. from Smoke Island or HookahSqueeze). Perfect if you want the shisha vibe without the addiction.
Pipe tobacco for shisha and modern tobacco heaters like IQOS are two great ways to enjoy intense tobacco flavor – tailored to your personal taste. Whether you're looking for an affordable alternative to traditional hookahs or a discreet, smoke-free option: here you’ll find the best products, tips, and info about Dry Base tobacco, IQOS devices, HEETS, and TEREA sticks.
Pipe Tobacco for Shisha – Affordable, Creative, Personal
The 25g rule made classic shisha tobacco an expensive luxury. But brands like Fog Your Law and Nameless came up with a solution: it’s called Dry Base or shisha pipe tobacco. This is flavored raw tobacco delivered without glycerin. You mix it yourself – and get around 200g of shisha tobacco at a budget-friendly price.
How it works:
- You buy e.g. 65g of flavored Dry Base
- Add around 135g of glycerin
- Let the tobacco rest for 24–48 hours
- Done – around 200g of smoke-ready shisha tobacco!
The flavor comes surprisingly close to the originals – although slight variations may occur depending on your mix. If you’re watching your budget but don’t want to sacrifice flavor, pipe tobacco for shisha is the way to go!
