Top Hookah Tobacco 2024: Discover the Favorites
Enough text, now comes what you are probably most interested in: The bestsellers in our hookah shop!
Taste: Grape, Mint
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
If you have been smoking hookah for a while, you will surely know the legendary Al Waha Grape Mint tobacco. This has enjoyed great popularity, but for about 3 years now there is an even better grape mint! This is the GRP 2.0 from Holster Tobacco. Strictly speaking, this is actually just a pure grape tobacco, but since the TPD2 regulation came into force in May 2021, there is a mint shot from Holster, which is simply tipped into the tobacco when opening the tin to get the desired grape mint tobacco. You can also order this directly!
Taste: Dark Grape, Mint
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
In second place, as in first place, is another grape mint tobacco. But what is the difference between Nameless tobacco and Holster Tobacco's Grape Mint? Quite clearly: The Black Nana from Nameless has the taste of a dark grape, while the Holster Grape Mint is supposed to be a mixture of light and dark grape, but the light grape clearly predominates!
Flavour: Strawberry, Grape, Slightly sour taste
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
Sour worms as shisha tobacco? Yes! That's exactly what the bestseller from ByCandy is supposed to taste like, according to the manufacturer itself. It brings back childhood memories of sweets. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the tobacco is one of the top 10 bestsellers in our shop and a permanent favourite in the hookah bowls of many of our customers.
Flavour: Cactus ice / prickly pear, ice cream
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
Besides the Grp 2.0, there is another tobacco from Holster in the top 10 bestsellers. This is the Ice Kaktuz tobacco. As you can guess from the name, the tobacco is supposed to taste like the famous cactus ice. We find that the tobacco tastes just like the top part of the cactus ice, what the ice is best known for: the tingly, green part. It tastes like the green part of the cactus ice melting in your mouth!
Flavor: cherry, blueberry, EM-Eukal candies
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
Anyone who loved EM-Eukal sweets in their childhood will immediately make this tobacco one of their favorites. Hookain ensures that this tobacco takes us back to the good old days as soon as we open the packet.
Taste: Grapefruit, Lime, Passion Fruit
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
The famous Tingle Tangle from Maridan has been in the top 10 for years. The successful tobacco has already been copied by many other brands and sold under similar names such as Ringle Rangle by these brands. But until today, no one has come close to the taste of the original! The tobacco tastes like a fresh mix of grapefruit, lime and passion fruit!
Flavour: watermelon, honeydew melon, passion fruit
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
The absolute classic in this list. Adalya's Love 66 tobacco has been available in Germany since 2014, and yet it is still in the top 10 tobacco varieties in our shop. Only a few tobacco varieties stay at the top for such a long time, as it takes a lot of effort to deliver continuous quality over such a long period of time for a natural product like tobacco. But that is exactly what this Adalya tobacco has achieved in the last 8 years. That speaks for the tobacco!
Taste: Grape, Lollipop
Base tobacco: Burley tobacco
Two varieties of Blackburn tobacco have made it into the top 10, making them true newcomers! Blackburn has only been available on the German market since 2022 and already the chuper grupper is one of the most popular tobaccos in our assortment. Unlike the other varieties in the bestseller list, Blackburn is a Burley tobacco and therefore rather a tobacco for more experienced smokers!
Flavour: Kiwi Smoothie
Base Tobacco: Burley
Like Chuper Grupper, Kwi Stoner is a newcomer, as both were introduced by Blackburn this year. Kwi Stoner is a fresh Kiwi Smoothie and has replaced the previously very popular Musthave Kwi Smooth! This is also a Burley hookah tobacco.

Blackburn TobaccoEspecially if you've been smoking hookah for a while, you've probably already tried many of the standard hookah flavours, such as grape, lemon or watermelon. Fortunately, aside from these standard flavours, there is a huge selection of other flavours for your shisha. There are, for example, some flavours that go in a creamy direction or some that you can't really imagine in a shisha, but which are nevertheless convincing when you try them. We have analysed our sales figures and looked at which of these flavours have been ordered most often, so you can see if there is something for you!
Taste: Irish Coffee Cream
Base tobacco: Burley tobacco
Irish Cream is a very underestimated tobacco from Black Burn and is especially suitable for mixing. Long-time smokers appreciate the tobacco and buy it regularly from us to smoke creamy mixes with other varieties.
Flavour: Lemon, Pear
Base Tobacco: Virginia Leaf
Lemon and pear in combination? Sounds strange at first, but it's incredibly tasty! Even if it sounds like a difficult combination for you at first, you should definitely try this tobacco!
Flavor: Brazilian guava
Base Tobacco: Virginia Leaf
Guava is a flavor that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This development is particularly noticeable in many energy drinks, but also in hookah tobacco! In our opinion, the OHA from AINO Tobacco is the best guava tobacco currently available! If you prefer to smoke darkblend, the Oha from AINO is also available in a burley variant.
Flavour: Coconut, Candy
Base Tobacco: Virginia Leaf
In the top 10 of unusual varieties, there is another tobacco that goes in a creamy direction. As the name might suggest, Hookain Kaffa Yayo tastes like a well-known sweet called "Raffaelo". A delicious blend of coconut and a fine, creamy sweetness.
Flavour: Ripe pear
Base Tobacco: Virginia Leaf
While Holster mainly covers the common hookah tobacco varieties in addition to the Peery Punch, they have also succeeded in creating a bestseller with the Peery Punch, which stands out from the standard flavors. If you like the other Holster varieties, you should definitely also try the Holster Peery Punch.
Flavour: Prickly pear, Lime, Fruit mix
Base tobacco: Virginia tobacco
With O's Tobacco Unknown, describing the taste is not so easy. Maybe that's where the name "Unknown" comes from? What can be said, however, is that the tart prickly pear and the lime stand out. The two flavours are rounded off by an indefinable but very tasty fruit mix.
Taste: Honey
Base tobacco: Burley tobacco
Honey as hookah tobacco? Sounds very unusual, but it's the ideal tobacco to pimp your favourite mix! You can simply fill 10-20% of the head with the Darkside Hny Dust to achieve a completely new taste experience. This tobacco is definitely worth a try!
Geschmack: Erdbeere, Kokosnuss(-milch)
Grundtabak: Burley Tabak
Erdbeere und Kokosnuss harmonieren super zusammen. Wenn du also kein Problem mit dem Geschmack von Kokosnuss hast, dann sollte der Tabak auf jeden Fall einmal von dir probiert werden!
The hookah tobacco taste depends on many factors. Very important is which flavours are used for the production of tobacco for your hookah . Glycerine and glucose or fructose are also added so that the tobacco is moist. The flavours make up only a small proportion of the shisha tobacco, at around 2%-10% of the content, depending on the flavour of the flavour. Another factor in the taste of the finished hookah tobacco is the base tobacco with which the flavours, glycerine and sugar are mixed. Two base tobacco varieties in particular are used for hookah tobacco: Virginia and Burley. Virginia tobacco is a rather mild tobacco that is best suited for hookah beginners. If you are a little more advanced, you can also try Burley tobacco, which is a stronger tobacco that makes the aromas in the tobacco taste completely different.
However, there are also differences in the strength of the tobacco between individual Virginia tobacco varieties and Burley tobacco varieties, which mainly depends on how often the hookah tobacco is washed in the production process. The more often this process is repeated, the smoother the hookah tobacco is when smoked. If you want to compare a Virginia that has been washed very often with a slightly stronger Virginia before you dare to try Burley tobacco varieties for the first time, we can recommend the following brands for a comparison:
Gentle Virginia tobacco: Holster hookah tobacco (very popular: Ice Kaktuz).
Stronger Virgina tobacco: Babos hookah tobacco (very popular: FFM)
