Buying advice: What to look out for when buying shisha tobacco?
Flavor: Fruity, Minty or Dark?
Fruity shisha tobacco like Love 66, African Queen or Strawbelly is the most popular in Germany. The flavors are sweet, approachable and ideal for beginners. Minty varieties like Black Nana combine fruit with freshness and offer a cooling effect. Darkblend tobacco like Sebero Black Wonder relies on a burley base and is suitable for experienced smokers who prefer a stronger taste.
Virginia vs. Burley: Which tobacco base?
Most shisha tobaccos are based on Virginia tobacco – mild, sweet and suitable for everyone. Burley tobacco (Darkblend) is stronger, has more nicotine content and a fuller smoke. Beginners are best started with Virginia varieties.
How much tobacco per session?
For one Phunnel head you need 15-20 g of tobacco. A 200g can is enough for around 10-13 sessions. In combination with one XKAH Pro HMD and Natural charcoal you get the maximum flavor.
Store shisha tobacco correctly
Shisha tobacco should always be stored in a cool, dry and airtight container. Most 200g tins have a resealable lid. Use opened cans within 4-6 weeks to prevent the molasses from drying out.

The best fruity shisha tobacco depends on personal taste. We recommend Adalya Love 66 for melon and passion fruit, Savu Strawbelly for strawberries, O's Tobacco African Queen for exotic fruits and HIDE Bloob for berry mix.

Black Nana tastes of a mix of sweet grapes, fresh mint and dark berries. The taste is intense, slightly cooling and very aromatic. Black Nana is one of the most iconic shisha tobacco varieties and is offered by various brands such as NameLess, Adalya and others.
