NASH tobacco: The return of the 200g cans and what you need to know

NASH tobacco is back – in the popular 200g version. After the tobacco was initially offered in 25g packs, 200g cans are now available again. At first glance, this could be understood as a return to the old quality that many hookah lovers valued so much. But be careful: This is not new tobacco, but the already known 25g, which was simply repackaged in larger cans.

Variety is back, but what about quality?

There are six varieties that are now available in 200g cans:

• Crazy Green – Kiwi celery
• Swit E – Energy candy
• Japan White – Strawberry Pineapple
• Dubai night – Grape mint
• Lip T - Green tea
• Skittles – Skittles candies

These varieties offer an interesting mix, from fruity and exotic to refreshing classics. However, many shisha fans have noticed in recent months that the quality of the tobacco no longer reaches the level that was previously known. There were increasing problems, particularly with smoking behavior: the tobacco reacted sensitively to heat, which led to a scratchy smoking experience or too little smoke being produced at low heat.

The truth about the new 200g cans

The 200g cans now available are not what many were hoping for. This is the same tobacco that was previously sold in 25g packs and is now simply repackaged. The importer himself confirmed this and pointed out that the tobacco is manually filled into the 200g cans in Germany. This also explains the relatively high price, which results from the additional effort involved in the outer packaging.

Pricing:

• Banderole price: €32.90 per can

There is no discount for larger orders, which is due to the limited availability and the increased repackaging effort.

Conclusion: What you as a consumer should know

Anyone who loves NASH tobacco and hopes that the return of the 200g cans also means a return to the old quality should be careful. The tobacco is the same as that previously offered in 25g cans and the existing problems may persist. It is to be expected that manual repackaging does not automatically make the tobacco better.

It remains to be seen how the tobacco will behave in the new cans and whether the outer packaging will have a positive or negative impact on quality. Until then, consumers should exercise caution and consider the potential risks when deciding whether to purchase the tobacco.
